[quote name='MrMaddness']It's started already...everywhere a Gamestop that tells you otherwise is WRONG.[/quote]
Can anyone fill me in on the details of this promotion? I am guessing it is buy 2 used titles, get one of equal-or-lesser-value free. Is that right? Will 1 new + 1 used = 1 used free work?
You were right the first time....new shit doesnt count...yet you can mix it up with DVD + PS2 game = free X-box game (Of equal or lesser value of course)

[quote name='swetooth9']CASEY! why are you never on AIM? [/quote]
because the computer I am on does not have it installed. I plan on installing my new hard drive tonight and router to get my other PC online. I have AIM on that one(my dad hates dealing with shutting it off when he logs on which is why its not on the PC I am on)
All GS's should be running this sale and it really started today. You can also do the 10% coupon in the June GI and the GS card (meaning 20% off along with B2GO) in conjunction.
I just traded in a crap game (got $15 credit) , then using the card and coupon got 1 $27.99 game, 2 $17.99 games and reserved Halo 2 for around $25.00

What was the crap game if you don't mind me asking?
My local GameStop said that the sale doesn't start until Sunday. He showed me an ad and everything. So for the next couple of days this might be YMMV, but starting Sunday this should be everywhere.

Yeah, but they're idiots. It's already in the computers and we got the go ahead to start it on Friday.

Dang! I wasn't planning on them doing this again so soon. All my cash be tied up elsewhere.
Oh well, perhaps when they do this next time Jak II will be at GH price and I'll have the funds. Just as well, though. I'm far behind on the games I already have as it is.
Just want to pass on some advice that somebody on here told me. If you see that one Gamestop may have 1 of your preferred games while another in the area has the other 2, ask that store to do an inventory transfer so you can purchase the games you actually want. And you can always do a quick check to see what they have in stock at your local gamestop by going to the website.
The inventory transfer has done me well. I used it for the "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" deal to get Suikoden 2, Valkyrie Profile, and then Suikoden 1 for free. I felt great that day. Thanks to whoever told me about the deal!

That seems like more work than it has to be. Just tell the person to buy what they want from the first store, then take those games to the other store, return them, and do a new transaction that reflects all three games. I've done this a thousand times for customers. Any employee who tells you not to do this is full of shit.
i took advantage of this today. I-Ninja, Soul Caliber 2, XIII (which I was doubting, but i love it). all for about 36 bucks. possibly less, my mom has been wanting to get me something so she may go half. (i'm 19, but whatever, if my mom wants to do that, hell, i'm down).
what sucks though is when i got home from the store, i put in XIII get through the cutscenes and into the action and my boss calls, i was 30 minutes late for work and didn't even know it.

Shouldn't your name be Steve, or are you his evil twin, which would actually make you the good twin?
I have an important question. Well I bought 3 games (Splinter Cell 44.50, Rainbow 6 44.50 and Counter-Strike 26.50) yesterday. I was very surprised at the total, expecting to spend more, when I saw that the buy 2 get 1 used dealie was going on. Well, the reason I got Counter-Strike and nothing else at the time was because I didn't have the money... now that I see I could've gotten 44.50 worth of game, I'm wondering if it's possible for me to take Counter-Strike back and get a higher value game.
Thanks in advance
btw I'm in Philadelphia, so the Gamestops here in PA are definitely in on this.
Bought Splinter Cell: PT ($44.99) + The Suffering ($44.95) + Ninja Gaiden ($44.99. With the sale, plus GI card, plus GI coupon, I got all of them for $76.00 after tax. I forgot to ask though, how long is this sale good for?
It's in the June 2004 issue. It gives you an extra 10% off with your gamestop card (which already gives you 10% off). It wouldn't matter if you have the coupon or not if you don't already have the card. An online/printable versoin would be pretty useless since if you don't have a GI subscription, chances are you don't have the card either.
This kinda annoys me, my local gamestop doesn't let you use the card with buy 2 get 1 deal. They say you can't combine the offer with any other offer.
They should let you use the card with this deal, that's how it works, I also believe you can use the extra 10% coupon...I just rip it out of the mags they have sitting there, ummm SC2 is 9.99 used for gamecube before all the discounts or B2GO deals; just a heads up
