Is it better to trade in now with the extra 50% or wait for the bump this weekend?

Has Sony done the $40 new Dualshock 4 promo in the past year? I know they did it during days of play (early June) and black friday in 2019, but didn't during days of play 2020. That could have been due to the hardware shortage during the pandemic. Did they do it during 2020 black friday/cyber monday/winter sale?
I'm considering trading in my old 2nd controller for the $26 and getting a new one in June if they still do the promo

no, closest was gamestop selling used dualshock 4s for $40, maybe $30 a couple times?

I ordered some NEW games from the Pro day sale. Persona 5 arrived with a circular tape outside, so much them getting rid of their old practices, this copy is going straight back for a refund!
That happened to me a few months ago. They sent me an opened game with the circular tape when it was sold as new. Game even had a scratch. They kept saying they were gonna send me a new one to replace it. Weeks go by and I get an email that my order was refunded because I didn't like it. At least I got the money back but after that stopped ordering new online.

Guessing it won't be valid to try and pricematch a pre-order, but someone try with Pokemon Snap today!
Who is being price-matched? All of the online prices I see are $60, although Walmart didn't charge me sales tax on my pre-order presumably because it came with a hat (and clothing isn't taxed here)

Maybe my screenshot didn’t come through but the Walmart app shows the in store price.

I'll guess the process is dropping by walmart taking a picture, then showing them price in-app and in-store. I'm working from home now, and don't plan to try on my homestore pre-order. (they've been good to me!)

I know it’s not a GameStop thing but did anybody order the Pokémon Snap bundles they had with the hat/beanie and not get their hat/beanie? I ordered 2 of the hat bundles and received both of my games in one of those cardboard mailers with no hat. Wtf?

Some CAGers below did get some codes for G2L. Seems like the POS wasn't updated until after some stores opened on the East Coast.
PSA: Both Pokemon Snap and Returnal are not G2L. GameStop has hit a new low it seems. I placed the orders separately. Neither have codes on the receipts. I was confused and asked the store manager whether they were G2L and he said they were not. I pointed to the piece of paper taped to their counter and showed the heart symbol on Returnal (Pokemon Snap was no longer shown). He said that was weird and that he would help me out. I'm sorry for getting everyone's hopes up!

Silly question - what’s the difference between G2L and just returning? Less points?
You get to open the game up and basically rent it for two days. And yes, you lose the points if you return it.

G2L allows you try out the game for 48 hours and trade it in for FULL VALUE in store credit. You also get points for picking up and trading the game
Returning you get your money back but you also, lose points for the return

Is it normal for a shipped order to say awaiting carrier pickup 3 days after showing shipped?
Ordered Atelier Ryza 2 during the DOTD and it was supposed to arrive yesterday and now nothing
I imagine the store never shipped it out

So is that a time to call support thing? Or just wait it out. Never had an issue with them shipping something before, and I ordered right as the deal went up
I would call just to be on the safe side. The one time I paid extra for fast shipping, it was stuck on label created for 2 weeks. After I called, they shipped it within a day.
