Does anyone know if the gimped 360 version of Black Ops 3 counts for the guaranteed $30?

No, only x1 and ps4. Someone confirmed a while back with gta5 xbox 360.

Wow, wtf is up with Gamestop not putting clarifications in the fine print? First the next gen trade 4 promo doesn't include Wii U games and then this? Ugh...

To be fair, Wii U isn't next gen and the havent had deals on 360/ps3 games for awhile.

 

[Kotor15]

I think the word you guys are looking for is "current-gen" considering the fact it's been over 2 years.

 

[sabanoo]

To be fair, Wii U isn't next gen and the havent had deals on 360/ps3 games for awhile.

The Wii U is in the same generation as the Xbox One and PS4.

 

[amusedtoe]

The Wii U is in the same generation as the Xbox One and PS4.

The same way the Wii is the same as a 360/PS3!

 

[Finger_Shocker]

When Nintendo discover the blu-ray we will talk, maybe they be up to date,  its amazing they still upgrade to using dvds...lol

 

[sp00ge]

To be fair, Wii U isn't next gen and the havent had deals on 360/ps3 games for awhile.

Technically, Wii U is the same generation as PS4 and XB1. It's just been a phenomenal flop.

 

[ritchardf]

and yet the rumor is the next nintendo system wont even match the ps4/xb1 power

 

[Deader2818]

Too easy.

 

[Deader2818]

Wii U doesnt use DVD.

quick question Deader, when checking in-store stock on the app/website, does "Low Stock" indicate just one? Anything they have 2 or more of would say "In Stock"?

thanks

1-2 I believe. 3+ is in stock but that seems to vary by what the item is so assume it's just 1 if it's low stock.

Low Stock = 1-2 of the item
In Stock = 3+

You're right, the Wii U isn't next gen. It's a current (8th) gen console.

We're still waiting on details of the Next (9th) generation. Though it looks like the NX will be the first console released in it.

Once a console generation is in full swing (all the consoles for the gen are released) it's becomes the current or new generation.
I tend to personally use Next for upcoming, unreleased consoles.

The Wii U is in the same generation as the Xbox One and PS4.

The same way the Wii is the same as a 360/PS3!

Yep, the Wii was a 7th Gen, the Wii U is an 8th Gen.

The NX will be the first 9th console released, and if any of the rumors are true... Nintendo will be right back in roughly the same position and power gap they are currently in with the Wii U.

The Wii, while having a power gap like the Wii U, was the best selling console of its generation due only to innovation and the casual market.

(Sorry, I take these very seriously and am quite anal about it)

Or just the casual market and being a fad like the pet rock.

 

[HyperG]

But they're not BR and those are the only two technologies that exist!

It's a proprietary format. Whatever that means by Nintendo.

You're drunk, so is Darby. There's only two formats so it must be DVD!

It means it is pirate proof

Since the burners aren't commercially available to consumers

Wii U uses a form of proprietary Blu-Ray derivative, developed by Panasonic.

However, it spins in the opposite direction if I remember correctly and has a maximum capacity of 25GB.

 

[Marbles]

Or just the casual market and being a fad like the pet rock.

OH, there is no doubt in my mind it was a fad.

The Wii U was developed to pull in casual tablet and phone gamers... but then soon realized that people didn't want to spend $200-300 for a game they can already play a device they already had.

(There was an "Adam Ruin's Everything" where they claimed casuals and phone/tablet gamers are an untapped market and missed this key point)

You guys need to lay off the sauce.

So its basically a Asian Jew device .......

In case you don't understand the joke, Asians and Jews read backwards

Actually the Wii U was in development before tablets really took off. Sadly for Nintendo tablets took off before they released the Wii U.

 

[Finger_Shocker]

Wii U has a maximum capacity of 25GB.

Yet sadly their games take up less then half that space, "Next Gen" using post 2009 graphics

 

[Marbles]

Actually, I don't drink.

Stop hacking websites and planting false stories. You're probably the one responsible for the false rumors that there's a 50% trade bump coming.

 

[Marbles]

Tablets and touch screen phone games were beginning to take off and were noticing the trend would be a better explanation/description.

However you got my meaning.

 

[Kotor15]

Got so much shit lined up for trade in tomorrow. Pumped!!!!

If I had that talent, I'd be rich and have my student loans paid off!

No what I said was correct.

This is what I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136133

 

[Finger_Shocker]

So do Microsoft pay Sony for every BD disc they use since their HD-DVD format flopped and MS lost to Sony tech like a bit*ch

I always knew you were an idiot.

 

[amusedtoe]

I really don't know how to lay the sarcasm on any thicker guys...

 

[Finger_Shocker]

Yup and I always knew where you probably have that pickle up in

 

[AndyD33]

paint brush?

 

[Marbles]

Hook. Line. Sinker.

And what exactly am I tricked by or off about?

Power of the console does not equal generation, release order does.

NES - 3rd

SNES - 4th

N64 - 5th

NGC - 6th

Wii - 7th

Wii U - 8th

 

[Kotor15]

I think he was attempting to troll.

 

[Marbles]

I think he was attempting to troll.

That's probably my biggest problem.....

I can write sarcasm, but I never can read it or catch onto it very quickly.

 

[Miami Flash15]

Anyone else excited for the trade bonus?

[Finger_Shocker]

Pretty sure that wasn't sarcasm but more just dicking around

 

[neoz]

I know I am. I'm hoping my games hold their value. Anyone know what time the games update? 1200 EST or PST?

 

[Marbles]

OMG I'VE BEEN HUG BOXED BY BREAD!

... Does that mean I've been bread boxed?

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

I'm definitely ready for tomorrow

 

[sp00ge]

All I did is complain about Gamestop's definition of "next-gen"...

 

[Bombarded]

So many games lined up for tomorrow, not enough ebay gc 1/10 -IGN

 

[justadude]

Hopefully this 50% bonus is legit. I've got a copy of Stadium Events for NES I've been looking to get rid of.
