All the last few weeks or so "Awaiting Product Availability" items got swapped to "preparing for shipment" - looks like maybe in-store stock checking functionality has returned as well.  :applause:

looks like they removed the in store stock checker for a lot of items

Probably related to them finally figuring out how to hide the BOPIS option for daily deals. When I'm signed in, the only option is ship to home. When I'm a guest, it shows 3 copies of Spider-Man at my store.

[snip] Did see a ton of restocked plushies in for anyone looking for those.  :shock:

:whee:

 

(j/k)

 

Went to the two closest stores--one yesterday, one today. The one yesterday had cleared out all the current-gen stock and had one sad rack of last-gen stock out for browsing. Asked the associate about the changes, and he said that they had removed the current-gen in order to set up some space for the new consoles...but he said that once that was done, that the games (which will now become last-gen) would go back out on the shelves. Not sure if that's what's going to happen, but I can hope (I won't be getting the new consoles for a couple years at least).

 

I ended up finding Blur with an original 360 case but generic artwork. I had the copy of the game I bought during the sales a few months ago but with a generic case, so I exchanged cases. It came in handy today actually--since the one today had Jurassic the Hunted with a generic case but with original artwork. I had the copy I bought a few months ago with me, generic case and generic artwork, so I traded just the generic artwork for the original artwork. So now I have Jurassic the Hunted with an original case and original artwork (and I'll give the associate a good review). No manual, but still a productive trip. Regarding the sales floor, the store today still had the current-gen games out, but were beginning to put out the 'Top 100' (or whatever the number will be) cases. Winter is Coming...  :oldman:

 

I ended up using my renewal coupon code on a clearance T-shirt, and my monthly cert on a PSN $10 card.

 

I *did* notice they left the t-shirts, gifts, plushies, and accessories out. So there's that. There were some interesting collector's boxes on clearance--Zelda Link's Awakening and Ghostbusters 35th Anniversary, both of which seem to be in stock online as well (in-store will be YMMV of course). Heads up for fans of those franchises, especially if you can use certs or game coin on them.

Guys I had the same issue and had to escalate it. It turns out the "waiting availability" limbo is because when the order was placed they set order fulfillment to the stores. So no stores are sending it out and it goes in limbo even though the website has it. You have to call them and explain the issue. They will see it's available online and escalate it. I did this and both of my limbo games shipped within 24 hours. Hope this helps everyone.

 

EDIT: Don't use chat. They're as useless as a third nipple. Call in.

 

Yep me too. I emailed CS after I posted here and looks like they pulled through. Just have to keep sending them messages until you get somebody helpful.

Still no SB that I can see.

 

But all my titles from the "$10 off everything night" that were awaiting stock are now moving towards shipment.  So that's nice.

I have a theory that they screwed up the stealth bump and dropped a lot of the values instead of raising them. Games that I was going to trade that was listed on the MWT search results actually dropped to $10 instead of going up. These were titles that previously had a base around $15-19 are now $10 base. It just seems odd that so many titles that were on the MWT dropped to the same uniform base value instead of raising them or just leaving them alone.

I saw a lot of games trade values actually drop twice this past Sunday. So even with a trade bump, most values will just get back to normal value unless the bump restores to original higher value.

 

GTA V on XB1 for example went from 10 to 7 to 5 on Sunday. First time I am aware that they've dropped values twice in a day.

I got my (bonus?) $10 game coin if game is paid in full in active offers, but not the base $10 game coin.

Did anyone else already receive their game coin? Picked up on Thursday and now it's present in my rewards already.

Watch the trade bump will be Sunday/Monday only because they don't want to lose money via B3G2 free. New ad on Sunday without that promo and values normalize.

I think it's the other way around. The wording is the same as the FIFA coin, so this is probably the base coin and the bonus will come in the next couple days (hopefully).

Question for you guys on in store pick refunds: if an online order for in store pick up cannot get picked up (because they can't find it), what's the best way to get my money back? 

 

Something I ordered online for in store pick up (before the system went down) could not be found in store when I went and they told me it would auto-cancel/refund after the 7 days. It's been LONG past 7 days (I think closer to 22) but still no refund and my order status still shows ready for pick up. 

Is this is a store issue or something I should call the CS line?

FYI - looks like store locator/in store stock check is working again online. Who knows how long it'll last this time? Make a note of what's in stock at your local stores go go go

Anybody get their $10 cert yet for spending $60 during pro days? I called on Wednesday and they told me I should get it by the end of the month. I guess makes sense since it's supposed to be valid beginning 11/1.

Check your email spam folder.  I usually get GameStop emails, but for some reason just that one was in the junk folder.  Would be funny if they somehow arranged that intentionally, there are keywords you can blind cc to make normal appearing messages do that.  I know that’s not the case at all, just a joke, but so odd I happened to find it there while I get the daily spam emails no problem.  Also, if we are talking about the same cert, it expires 11/1, that’s not the start date.

Wow. Thanks for pointing this one out. Of course this expires tonight for me...I only wish I had found it when it was taking 10 off every item.

I don't think we're talking about the same cert. Maybe your referring to the $10 cert for spending $75 during the 1up sale which was right before the pro days sale?

Do the monthly pro certificates still work twice? Would it only be visible in the computer at a store after the first use?

Ok, yeah, the 1up one I guess.  I just happened to find it last night in spam.  I knew I should be getting another for the spend $60 as well, but couldn’t remember which was which.  That makes sense if it goes out tomorrow.

You needed to preorder and pay in full before release day which was Thur. G2L code expired yesterday but some were able to do it today.
