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.

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.

At least Sony didn't make the consoles perform differently other then the Pro. The whole S vs X is mind boggling, but general public has no clue
Meh nothing new there. Console variants have been a thing for years with the ps2 being the first off the top of my head. Then ps3 psp wii with various things between the variants like bc.
 
It's already in the fine print. The exclusions are listed as SKU numbers. When you search those numbers on the site, they're PS5 listings.

I meant that unless I see the fine print add the SKU number for the Pro, I'm still going to try my luck at convincing them to do it lol. I know the regular PS5 doesn't count.

It's my day off, just doing myself and this community a favor. Sorry didn't want to retype everything, but a big handful on the Xbox list should be relatively the same price for the PS4 versions.
 
Between 4 for 20 and 4 for 40 sales, I've pretty much scraped the bottom of the barrel for low cost releases. If I'm lucky I find a cheap retro game to pick up if its complete to put the $5 towards.

Same here for the online sales. Dragon star I've not once seen in stock among other titles. I want to say Dragon star, deception or whatever with the girl on the giant pendulum scythe and a handful of other titles are in every one but never in stock.

I wish I had grabbed more stuff during the ps2/3 when they had these sales. I got some of the Atelier games that way.
 
Yeah, GS didn’t allow the $25 off $250 promo when the PS5 was recently on sale, so seems to be consistent.
The word going around is that was an edict from Sony. However, if you buy anything else in the same transaction, it will take the $25 off of that. It should work on a warranty also.
 
So with the extra 10% towards trade ins, has anyone here found any good deals? My pro ends on the 8th. I have 9645 points and my $5 monthly I can put towards renewing I think. Probably worth it as long as I get more active about actually using the $5 monthly and trying to take advantage of the other benefits. I can probably find some games to trade in if the 10% bump is worth it. Was thinking about getting Zelda anyway but figured it would be cheaper in offerup soon. Need to play through Everspace 2 before it leaves Game Pass on the 15th.

i asked like 10 days ago and got no answers haha. I guess gamestop doesn't want the new 2024 season titles haha

You're short 355 points towards $10, almost there! I suggest not to renew because there could be a discount promo for Pro when Black Friday rolls around.
 
might be old news but my local gamestop said they took preorders for the slim anniversary ps5 last friday. This seemed odd to me since the preorder date for that console is supposed to be October 10th everywhere. I thought only the dualsense was preorderable last week, but they insisted the console was too.

so I guess in store preorders are done now?
 
So then I will lose those points because the sale is not until the end of November. I'm better off renewing mine now.
If you can find something for $17 from now til your Pro expiration, you can get the 335 points. Then, cash in the $10 cert. You'll save $5 on Black Friday.

Store I went to said 30th dualsense pre-order allocation was 2 per store and they got pre-ordered the same day.
That store also said no 30th anniversary slims just ps5 pros only on Oct 10th.
I think I’m done with this 30th anniversary nonsense. Just wanted a controller in store pre-order.

That's odd. Pro models were only PlayStation direct exclusive.
 
which is shocking since they typically are the big bucks profits for the gamers.

I guess too many people holding off until switch 2
 
It sure is random. I got those plus 3 more:
-30% extra trade credit on games or accessories
-$30 extra trade credit on consoles
-25% off preowned game

That should be all of them. I would be surprised if there was more for games. Maybe a coupon on accessories or collectibles/home items.
 
All that I didn't get anything considering my pro subscription ends tomorrow. You'd think they want to entice me to stay lol. I'll probably end up using my $5 monthly coupon and converting my points into $5 online and then using the $5 renewal coupon code. I can do all of that stuff right?
 
They gave me a $30 bonus on trading in a console. I also got 25 percent off a used game or accessory.
