GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?
They ended the weekly ad for more rotation of deals. Please check the homepage and deal link for the current deals.

I can't find a trade in value for an item?
It might not be tradable or calling a store to find the value may be the only option.

How many copies of a game can I trade in?
You are allowed to trade in 4 copies of the same game (same system) within a rolling 30 day period.

Can I use the $5 monthly coupon on gift cards?

Yes you can in store but not online please note not all gift cards will apply to this rule.

I have a $XX.xx pre-owned reward certificate, and I want to use it on a B2G1 transaction. Should I?
It depends. If the three games are equal value, do not use your certificate. The value of the certificate would be applied to the free game, which would not benefit you. If one game is more expensive, you can use the certificate to make it the same value as the other two games ($5 reward certificate applied to transaction with two $10 games and one $15 game would make all three games $10).


TERMINOLOGY AND LINGO:
ASL/SL: Assistant Store Leader, Store Leader; manager positions at GS.
B2G1: Buy two, get one free.
GS: GameStop
JD: Junior detective, an employee who is out to get someone
LP: Loss Prevention; this is the department that actually bans accounts after being flagged.
TC/TiC: Trade credit.
TIV/TV: Trade in value, or what a game currently trades for. When posting a TV for a game, always use the base value.

Joy Con refurb fee yesterday was only $4.80 compared to the previous $12 from earlier in the month and lower than the $6 it was at for several months l, no idea what they are doing with refurb fees this month but this was a nice surprise. $23 for broken Joy Con set trade in value is much better.

I wonder how much money GS misses out on by not allowing people to do in store pick up on games that only have 1 copy in stock

The website will only show available if there’s more than 1 copy, and even then will show only n-1 available. Ridiculous oversight
 
Yep, gamestop honestly wouldn't shock me if they just closed most stores and started acquiring other companies then sold off everything to someone like Sycamore partners. They have enough cash now that from a purely financial standpoint running a business probably doesn't even make sense now.

Since stores fulfill online orders it will likely get shipped out eventually
 
Anyone know what the deal is with Life is Strange Double Exposure? GS web site says that you get a Steelbook with in store pickup, however the in store pickup option is disabled. If I go in store and make a preorder will I get the Steelbook?

At GS if you want a preorder bonus you must preorder in store. Online don’t get it and stores will not give you one.
So yes if you go in store and put down $5 you will get a Steelbook as long as they enough (sometimes stores get shortchanged on bonuses). Best thing is to pick it up on release day.

Amazon.fr and amazon.de have steelbook versions of the game if you don't want to play the gamestop lottery.

France has Xbox and Switch


DE has PS5 and Switch

Can confirm $12 refurb fees still apply to Dual Sense controllers

What do they usually look for when it comes to controller condition? My PS5 controller works perfectly fine, all buttons work, no drift whatsoever but creaks when squeezing or handling it...does that ding the trade-in value?

Usually drift,any busted ports or damage to controller itself
 
Someone on reddit said you can get $390 trading in a Series X, Can someone confirm this? GS website is a cluster fk to look at sometimes. I'm thinking of trading in my launch model and holding off for that 2Tb model tbh.

Yeah been debating doing the same

I brought a Series X at launch using Xbox All Access. It was the only option, and I know GPU can be found cheap. I was happy to get one then. Now I'm hoping to get the new 2Tb model, Because I did buy the 1Tb expansion card near launch as well. But to upgrade to the 2Tb Expansion card is $200 +. So I'd rather buy a new system lol. Plus to get to use my 1Tb still.

3TBs, sick!

The problem is that they jacked up the prices on retro games around 9-10 months ago, so unless you are lucky enough to find really expensive ones, odds are it'll be the same or more expensive than ebay prices

Yes unfortunately but still worth it especially if it's something like Tomba to Pokemon XD and beyond
 
One of my favorite stores I used to frequent, love the people and vibe there, has permanently banned me from even buying with them :) I assume all the other stores that their stringent boss oversees must also follow suit. I'll just take my business elsewhere to some other cities/counties/countries/cosmos.

Did you return a large online order many times ? I hear that can happen

I avoid online since "the ban," except for that one time where I was able to redeem my monthly voucher for an in-store pickup. It was simply a test purchase, and I was honestly very surprised it actually processed.
