Is there anything of value for me to use a monthly $5 pro cert on for a Series S user?

Does anyone think we'll see another stellar Switch trade deal? I missed it the last two times due to work. 😔

I had store credit, so I decided to take the dice roll on B2G1 for Calligula Effect 2, Demon's Souls (PS5), and Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut (PS5).

I can trade in my non-DC GOT for $11, so making it more affordable than the upgrade.

Some morning restocks appeared to have come into play, so might want to re-check the inventory on pre-owned previously.

I just got 2 Series X games delivered. Far Cry 6 and Alan Wake Remastered. Well GameStop shipped them in the flimsiest sleeve possible and the Alan Wake case basically has the whole corner of the case crushed. I’m a bit OCD about my stuff. The stores near me don’t have copies to exchange. Any suggestions here ?

I’m still hoping that they give us another buy 2 get 2 again.
I was looking through my order history and saw the last time they did it and cag16 stacked I was able to get games like Pokémon and Mario kart on switch for $19. Good times.

CAG16 seems to be just dead at this point, it's never been deactivated this long before.

Can't believe my copy of $10 used Spider-Man Miles Morales arrived as the Ultimate Edition with the code unused. Disc looks like it hasn't been touched. Sometimes Gamestop amazes me.


It was converted to used recently I believe. Many people reported as such earlier this month.

That isn’t what happened at all. Ultimate edition got converted to preowned gamestop does this occasionally with overstock and things that don’t sell.

Doesn’t make any sense. They’re selling the ult edition with those forced ps5 bundles. Brand new and for more than the game is selling standalone


GameStop semifrequently converts new to used. So it's not hard to believe. As for it making sense you're silly to expect something GameStop does to follow human logic.

Received a converted ps4 game with the typical case scuffing.  The strange thing is that is was a game released three months ago, Sonic Colors Ultimate.  

 

Seems like there's no way a publisher would be on board with that.  Might be something gs is doing on their own just to fulfill orders. Makes me wonder if there's a graveyard of baby sonics somewhere around grapevine.

 

Not a complaint at all though.  This practice is slightly improving the average quality of their products.

Know it’s not Greek lettering, but I think CAG history trumps that.  Is Dranakin going to be what we call the next Covid wave?  The next wave will somehow be our foretold democratic socialist savior?

It makes a lot of sense to their business model, because all that new inventory would just be sitting there anyways if they can't sell through them, and the prices will drop eventually, but that takes some time all the while it's sitting on the shelf. They'll typically do this with older stock, getting rid of remaining stock, or just overflow of inventory of certain titles.

 

If they convert it to used, it's cheaper and more likely to move off the shelf. If they convert it to used to give to someone else to purchase, they have gotten rid of that stock right now in the moment, and increased their chances that the person might also just trade it back in once they're done with it, or give it to someone else who will do the same.

 

Gamestop relies on pre-owned as their primary source of moving their inventory flow, so having new games sitting there collecting dust does them no good anyways. Might as well just convert them down, and then increase their chances to have the cycle of trade-ins improve significantly.

 

They don't really lose all that much converting down from new to used anyways, and now they have some point of sale right now, rather than a hypothetical one down the line for inventory that may or may not move any time soon.

 

It does make sense specific to a pre-owned business such as this, but for any other business that doesn't deal in as much pre-owned wares, it's complete asinine.

Hopefully we get a same cash as credit trade in here soon, and the console values stay the same, got a Series X today and would love to trade my One X in so I don't have to list it online and deal with people trying giving me some sob story about why I should sell it to them for 75% of what I list it for

Just saw someone pay for $200 in gift card in cash, all $20 bills. The employee proceeded to hold up all ten $20 bills in the light to make sure they were real 🤦

counterfeit pens are useless these days, almost no one makes fakes on the wrong paper anymore.
