i honestly only got them as my local game shops are still giving decent trade value for them. Plus i don't mind converting some GS credit to cash.

So none of you guys are starting to see this thread as kind of a pooling of addicts??

Why would you want 4 copies of the Division 2? there is a good reason its new for $5


It's quite simple really. Different people enjoy different games. Also, 4 division 2 used games traded back in to GS for about 3x the purchase price yesterday.

So the $5 preorder bonus is gone? It's no longer on the trade-ins page...

Curious what everyone is thinking in terms of trading in current gen consoles in preparation for the ps5/series x era. The pro/one x are getting 250 trade in right now, which seems pretty good. Are we likely to see better values for an upgrade promotion in the next year?

I dont ever trade in consoles. It's nice to always have a working console available to play in case something happens to the one I'm currently using.

When was the last time you actually played a game? Should probably focus more on that rather than continuing to give GS more money.

1990 when my free copy of Dragon Warrior came in the mail for subscribing to Nintendo Power. My mommy approved of the deal!

I was kinda surprised they didn't pull the trigger this week to counter Target/Amazon like last time.

If it does happen, that's like the 4th time in as many months. It used to be a 2 or 3-time sale per year. They must really need the cash.

Same could be said about target/amazon. GameStop is just matching their deals

The only bad thing about them doing it this often is that a lot of games are still out of stock. I already checked several games that I want and none are in stock online. One is in stock at one store near me and only Deadpool is in stock from my wanted list.

Have a groupon coupon, can get star wars fallen order for $20(50% off $40).

I've always liked respawn, but never cared about star wars. How is the game for someone who doesn't care about star wars?

 

Could always play it and get my money back by trading it in.

 

Also looking at dbz kakarot game at $37.50, but will likely go lower soon.

Hey all, 

I didn't want to make a whole thread for this because it's probably regional and there's really no way of me knowing if it's nationwide, BUT, Safeway's Just 4 You app has a "Save $5 when you buy 2 gift cards" promotion going on. GameStop is one of the companies listed, and I checked the store and saw that GameStop's range specifically started at $15. With that being said, I'm not sure that it's actually required to be a minimum of $15 because I talked to a store associate and she said that it can be as low as $5, but when the gift card says $15 to whatever, I'm just assuming it has to start at $15. 


The deal expires on February 14th and I have no idea if Safeway's subsidiaries such as Vons are participating and worst case scenario it's $25 for $30 worth of credit at GameStop if you have to do a minimum of $15 on each.

It's not a good game at all. It isnt star warsy at all other than lightsabers, but overall it's a very bad game.

If gamestop really needed the cash, then they shouldn't be trying so hard to make people not buy anything other than one a month at most.

The new strategy is that all the little Jimmys will bug their moms to go to Gamestop once a month and spend it on collectables or something.

B2G1 is not really worth it anymore without Elite Pro and Cag16 imo. GS might as well just make it the norm to clear out all preowned stock and fill the store with collectible garbage in its place.

I always have the employees at my local store call the in-store hotline when that happens. The in-store hotline is much more effective at resolving these issues, but it depends on whether it's worth going to a store for you.

They canceled a few games for me during the buy 2 get 2 back in December. I had to speak to 3 different people to get someone to send me something. They eventually sent me copies of the game with a receipt showing full price, when in fact they were either free or heavily discounted because of elite and cag16. I went to the store to return them and they offered me cash back. I felt kinda bad so I took trade credit but I got $55 + tax on them.

To answer your question, I couldnt get then to refund me. Thet kept saying they did process a refund but nothing was showing so I ended up asking for the canceled games or other similarly priced games. Then went to return those to the store and got more credit than I used. You just have to be persistent.

Call and call again. They will tell you a bunch of crap and finally someone will know how to do it.

Your posts are ignorant. Maybe try a different approach if you want to be apart of this community.

To clarify, all I do is let my local store know that I didn't get my trade credit back and ask if they can run a balance inquiry. They will see the discrepancy as soon as they check the card on their end. They will then call the in-store hotline and either remove the hold on the credit or have it transferred to a new trade card for you. The entire process only takes a few minutes, so it's the quickest way if you are close to a store.

ask them to remove the outstanding pre-authorized hold on your gift card (don't say trade credit).
