I believe you just got fortunate. I ordered 5 “new” games. 4 came gutted and only 1 sealed.Maybe I've just been lucky, but it seems the Gamestop website has been sending out actual new/sealed games when you order them new now. In the past it would usually be 50% sealed and 50% gutted (fulfilled by a store). Since November I have ordered 12 new games and every single one came factory sealed. I just ordered 4 more new ones last night, let's see if my luck continues.
If they truly have changed the way they fulfill new orders they may become my retailer of choice for new games in the future, especially with the great prices they have been having lately.

I know this has come up a few times, but have you ever had a long-standing order stuck in 'awaiting product availability' actually ship? We're talking orders that are 1-5 months old in this case and still stuck in that queue. They are rarer games, and I'm okay to wait a while for the possibility that they actually come in stock and ship, but I'm counting on it less-and-less.
If not, how has it been trying to get these refunded? I have like $200 in items that were never fulfilled (including my $10 Animal Crossing!) and I'm going to try and see if I can get it all addressed in one grueling CS call.
yes
the one that comes to mind is devil survivor 3ds ordered in march finally received in july
but i also had 2-3 orders that never made it from march and got cancelled like 9 months later or something

Definitely just lucky on a restock. As my last order was 4 new 2 "new". The sad part was the one game was Mario deluxe. tell me they don't have surplus of those sealed.

Other people already answered your question, but this is a reminder that IF YOU DO get a game fulfilled weeks or months after the original order, make sure to keep an eye on your credit card (particularly if purchased during any kind of sale/discount). They love to charge you for the full item amount after finally shipping.

So anyone else not getting points from gift card purchases anymore? I bought some Steam cards on the 22nd and 24th and still haven't received points for them
normal for the time of year, i'd give it a couple of business days and if not call customer service, but i'd imagine you get by wednesday.

Prinny NIS Classics on Switch is down to $32.99. I wasn't expecting this to get any type of price drop, might wait awhile to grab vol.2.

I haven't had points post in 2 weeks regardless of payment method. I emailed them this morning.

Rakuten has 10% back for gamestop for those planning any purchases for the b2g1. The 10$ cash back for 40$ purchases at giant eagle is still going till the end of the year for those that want to buy the gift card then make the purchase via online (assuming you can get the giftcard to work as that's always ymmv)

Just found out about the ultimate far cry and saw 10% cash back with Rakuten thanks to u guys. \m/
You're welcome ^_^ Just a shame that discover isn't doing the 10% as well this year as I loved stacking both last year.

Yep. Tested all the buttons and did the calibration test. I know what drift looks like from my kid's left joycon. Now I can send his in for repairs while he uses this one.
I can't stress this enough, if you are sending in more than one, SEND THEM separately! I sent in two in the same box, and they only sent one back. It took a few extended chat sessions to get them to make a "one time exception" and send me a "new" replacement joycon.

Do you mean send only one side at a time or one pair at a time?

Got an email earlier this morning offering the Far Cry 6 Ultimate Steel book on sale for $79.99. Just checked the site and it says $59.99. I jumped on it as that was my buy it price this holiday.

For some reason the page for FC6 ultimate for PS5 won't load for me. The standard edition loads fine and ultimate for other consoles loads fine.

I got a $30 gc for Christmas, so this is absolutely my price point. Thanks for the heads up!

Never thought about Rakuten for GS. Could have earned $16 cb yesterday on the collectibles sale. I'll pay more attention next time ^^;

FC6 is $20 now. How is GS with price adjusting? I bought it for $25 so not a huge deal but if I’m going there anyway it would be nice.
Is your monthly $5 coupon applying, reducing it to $20? I show $25 as well.

CAG Twitter fell for this "trick", it seems.
