Is $259.99 the lowest price that the Series S (512 GB) Guilder Hunter Bundle has been?

I was hoping more Nintendo exclusives would be apart of Pro week… maybe I missed them?

Definitely will check this out tomorrow & report some results.

 

Have a Series S & Series X. The X is a launch one with an extended warranty ending in November, and the S was a freebie from an internet upgrade. If I can dump the X now for $420 flat instead of $370-$400 after fees somewhere, I might as well. I can use the S until I'm gaming on a TV and then get the X + extended warranty again.

Prepare to be disappointed. We shall see in about an hour if they nuked the trade in values  :cold:

Is your account setup for auto renew? I know from the GS Reddit it's been said accounts setup for auto renew can't renew with points.

My account is not set to auto renew and I cannot renew with points. Associate tried in store and it gave him an error, now I got stuck with a code that's unredeemable. Haven't got around to calling customer service because I usually don't have 3 hours to spare during the course of a work day.

Just a heads up starting today Gamestop will be accepting a large selection of some retro trade ins again. They should announce it with ads in the coming weeks. You can find a large selection of some retro trade ins on their website now with more being added as I type this. Majority of the trade values for retro products still look like crap so I would try to offload your retro collection before Gamestop.

I've found their their CS is usually good regarding issues with points redemption... not great, but good. But when it comes to late shipments (label printed, no shipment or non-shipment) or lost items- they're awful.

Looks like the Xbox prices didn't tank.

 

Next random question, can you give them a Xbox One controller vs the Series S/X version? I'd rather give up one that is a bit looser than a newer controller.

I would have looked into those, but having to pay for shipping and none of them being in my local store really hurts.

You’d have to have enough games of equal value to get over $79, so in your situation you’d need 6 $30 games or some other accessory.

Whoever thought changing a free shipping threshold to be that high at a store that predominantly sells items under $79 is a moron.

Trade in value for PS5 and Series X is $350 base, $385 with 10% pro bonus, and theoretical $420 with 10% pro week bonus.  Although not sure if that works on consoles.

 

Not a bad time to upgrade if you get $420, the God of War PS5 bundle is currently $499 everywhere including gamestop and in stock everywhere.

Always fun to go to the one GS in an OK neighborhood in Philly and it wasn’t even open. Lights were on but doors were locked.

The ones in the suburbs here love to charge refurb fees over nothing. One tried to charge a fee for a few light scratches on the bezel of a Switch pro controller.

A lot of GS stores don't have restrooms and run single person shifts at certain hours. GameStop management expects them to lock the store and run to the nearest fast food place just to relieve themselves.

Don’t get me wrong I’m blaming corporate more than the store. But this wasn’t the situation you mentioned, they were still closed 2+ hours into the day (supposed to open at 10am EST).

Only the Xbox version is included, and I see the discount when added to cart.

Just a heads up guys, make sure to check cashback sites. Rakuten was 10% for me and GS reported it as the pre-discount price... so I got $6 back on my B1G1 purchase of Valkyrie PS5 and Star Ocean PS5.

It’s like a clown show with this company locally…

Two stores refused to do system trade ins (or any accessories) because they don’t have a means to test them 🙄

That's a new one, I've heard that for accessories before when the tester breaks but never entire consoles.

To be fair it was another 1 person store but still. There was nobody there either, and telling somebody to go to the next store 30 minutes away is kinda silly too. I would call in to ask if a store is open or can take trades but nobody ever answers.

Weird that out of the half dozen stores I can get to, not a single one of them show online as having the 2 game I want to get. They'll have one game in one out-of-the-way neighborhood I never go to and the second in another. Wish every store have a copy of each B1G1 game before they run a sale and wish those copies were still sealed.
