I've actually been practicing the little hand gestures he makes all the time. Give me 2 more weeks, and I'll be totally prepared to run one of those "How To Win Friends and Influence People" type corporate retreats.

Grab a plastic chain from Amazon, hang it from the ceiling next to the cash wrap and load all the plushies onto it. Ends up looking good and can probably hold 50-70 plushies.

"It isn't spam." says the guy who created his account for the sole reason of posting the same link in multiple subreddits.

It doesn't take a genius to google a url name. Here's what you're actually doing: https://shorte.st/

If it wasn't spam, you'd link directly to cdkeys.com instead of going through your privatized link. Oh, and the whole point is to pay advertisers - saying "if it redirects you" just proves you know that you're lying. 0/10 would not click.

They need to have the Pokémon Pass app installed on their phone. They need to sign in with a Pokémon Trainer Club (PTC) account - if they don't have one it has a sign up button to create an account. It will want and need at least camera and location permissions. If I remember correctly once they're signed in and detects they are in a store with a promotion it should tell them about it and to find the poster/sign to scan. Once scanned in will have a button on the screen to reveal a code. After that, they can click need another code, and get up to two more - for a total of three. It remembers the tasks/codes, so they don't have to write them down or anything.

Some people said they never got 20$ rebate last time/kept getting lost on another forum

I mean like maybe genuinely it gets lost in mail or something maybe? Then what can I do?

I think I figured out what happened. The code you recieced was for battlefield 3 limited edition, which was the preorder edition from 2012, I think when GameStop changed over all their PC download skus on the store end they screwed something up. You should have recieved a origin code for the game+5 dlc as that's what was sold. But instead you got an old bf3 code.

Store level isn't going to be much help honestly because they could ring though the same sku 100s of times.

Have you tried giving Gamestop Customer service a call and explaining?

this is what you should have received instead of this game.

Edit: customer service: 800-883-8895

When you call explain that you bought the bf3 premium edition and it was supposed to be a code foe the game and 5 dlc packs, and when you redeemed the code you actually got the limited edition game which was a preorder edition for the base game only. I am 99.9% sure this is what happened when we converted into our new downloads skus.

It's actually neither of those, they removed the listing recently. It was for the "Fitbit Flex". GameStop was putting it on clearance for $29.97, while the MSRP was still $99.99 at other retailers (although it was always on sale or listed at $79.99 frequently). I honestly don't think they were ever sold in our stores, unless someone bought it online and returned it to a store. It seems GameStop realized the item wasn't moving too well in sales, and thought the market for it to be sold in a video game environment wasn't worth investing in, so they marked it down to get rid of stock.

Here is a thread on Slick Deals talking about trying to price match GameStop at other retailers. https://slickdeals.net/f/8156438-fitbit-flex-29-97-via-price-match-extreme-ymmv

Before we got the plexis, I ordered these for each member of my team. They're inexpensive, and people can't lean around them to talk at you. I still use them, because they protect me while I'm on the sales floor.

They fog a little, but if you play with the placement of them and your mask, you'll hardly notice it.

What advantage? I have to order half my games on amazon because gamestop don't even stock them when they're brand new. Example: https://www.amazon.com/GalGun-Double-Peace-PlayStation-4/dp/B01GOK1H06

You've literally answered it. Supply & Demand. They have more xbox one versions than ps4. They are having a harder time getting rid of the xbox one versions so they priced them less.

The fact that they are the same game on different systems doesn't even matter. You don't even have to take that in to account.

Its as simple as x product sells better than y product, so y is made cheaper so that they both sell.

To answer you question, its not only common to Gamestop but literally every other store. I have seen games that were put on clearance for one system and not the other. Its all about getting rid of stock. Literally go to Amazon and check some of the games for PS4 and Xbox, you will see price differences.

One example:

https://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Ultimate-Evil-playstation-4/dp/B00GLZQR96/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1528319937&sr=1-2&keywords=diablo%2B3&th=1

You offering to find/buy them for me? Lol

Here's one I found within 10 seconds. Make sure you adjust your Amazon search filter to include out of stock items, they turn that off by default to hide out of stock items to make it seem like they always have it in stock.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074NGD393/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_WM-lBbETQ48XK

Edit here's another out of stock (not available from Amazon, only 3rd party)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0733HQQQP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_gR-lBb1YKGFJF

It was right below the other one. There's literally tens of thousands of out of product items in Amazon across all categories. You should see my comic book out of stock wish list on Amazon. Don't be naive and fanboy enough to believe Amazon magically is immune to selling out of product.

At least a million people, according to the Number of Installs statistic in the Google Play Store. Doesn't account for the Apple version though. Just sayin.

Generally, if it's a mistakenly priced item, stores have the right to refuse to sell at the lower price. Basically, if it's due to an innocent mistake, they don't have to honor the price.

They aren't allowed to deceptively price something at a lower price and then say it's the higher price though.

its just basically stuff like these:

I don't think they're going out of business ....yet but they're heading down a rough road as digital downloads are getting more convenient and being a company like gamestop that weighs heavy on pre-orders, it may hurt them.

Found this interesting link if anyone wants to check it out

Wait you ordered Refurbished and not Pre-Owned?

Anyways, here is my plan. You have extended holiday returns till January 15. I asked other Gamestop employees too and they said pre-owned items also can be returned for full money till January 15, 2018

https://www.gamestop.com/collection/holiday-hub . . Look for "GIFT GIVERS GUARANTEE" at bottom of page

In case Rebate doesn't come or get approved till then, I will return Xbox 360 to store to get money back. Does it make sense to you? Or should I explain better?

I think he means that's how rebate offers make money, people often to send rebate and rebate processors try to look for reasons to reject rebate. Plus many people didn't get their rebate card when it was only 20$ rebate in 2016. Now it's 60$

https://slickdeals.net/f/8916203-pre-owned-consoles-playstation-3-60-xbox-360-or-wii-30-after-20-rebate-free-store-pickup

Look at final pages to see how many people never received their rebate card

Any generic will work, just don't go too big. This guy looks large but all the reviews say it'll fit.

And submit a new post for some reason. Can anyone answer if I’ll be able to use a digital gamestop gift card from Amazon in store to upgrade to pro membership?

I think their site has a piece that prevents people from accessing it while using a VPN. I tried accessing their site while using NordVPN and I got that same error no matter what, until I turned the VPN off

Mobile games.

They're simple, exploitative and nearly useless, but they are also disposable.

Currently, I'm playing Archero, but there are sooo many simple games that you can waste hours in (with airplane mode on, so no ads) that when you're bored of your collection, you can find something worth while.

Then after a while, you can head back to the next AAA title.

Hello,

Just saw the you can purchase Steam Wallet Cards online on your website either in store or digitally. I'm just wondering, I'm going to redeem a Gamestop e-gift card from Amazon to buy it and if I pick the digital, will it be sent to my online Gamestop account e-mail?

He wasn't going to get new gundam breaker again. so -$60 right there.

That game is a steaming pile of broken shit and frustration induced rage that's already 70%+ off in Japan. He knew exactly what he was doing. He just wasn't going to tell you.

I use something like this, except I have multiple retro devices so I use a hub/switch with multiple input ports. Works for any model Gamecube.

You say that like it's somewhat difficult or requires an element of skill.

All it takes is an order of these and a computer with an inkjet printer.

The reason government issued is the rule is that they're both more standardized & (generally) more secure. School IDs could look like anything and won't (generally) have security enhancements. Unless you're intimately familiar, you wouldn't be able to distinguish a real one from a fake (and even then, it's not a guarantee).

The controller is $180 new on Amazon, I wouldn’t sell it to GameStop for $15 or whatever they give you

Clearly you don't realize that I was being sarcastic. Who really wants Square to continue to re-re-re-re-re-re-rerelease their games on every single platform. Do you enjoy paying 30-60 bucks for slightly better graphics?

Ah, so you are ALSO ignorant about the fact that those people you love so much made an actual console quality game on a mobile platform and you, in all your ignorance, think it's some kind of Candy-Crush tier game. Yea, we're done here. Do your research before you look so naive. It was cute.

I even included a link so you could see your ignorance in action!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Rings

"Chaos Rings[1] is a role-playing video game series released primarily on mobile platforms. It is developed by Media.Vision and published by Square Enix. The eponymous first game in the series released for iOS in 2010, then later ported to other mobile and portable platforms including Android and PlayStation Vita. There are currently four games in the Chaos Rings series, and each uses the same gameplay base. Effective May 31, 2016, Square Enix ended distribution of the first three games in the series on Google Play and Apple's App Store, leaving Chaos Rings III as the only title still available for download or purchase on those markets. "

Well huh, ended distribution. I guess running off with your money is a pretty good description of this company.

Let's add insult to injury.

They re-released it for Vita in japan. So if you shelled out the 20 bucks PER title, a total of 80 bucks, you got screwed royally.

I can keep going on unless you have some proof this isn't a terrible company.

Those appear to be old T&C, because if you go here for example:

https://smile.amazon.com/Elex-Collectors-PlayStation-4/dp/B071SFWYTB/ref=sr_1_24?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1496718031&sr=1-24&th=1

And click the "Details" link, that part about Toys to Life and Collector's Editions is missing from the current terms and conditions.

Coincidentally, I also pre-ordered the Farpoint/ Aim Controller bundle a few weeks ago, and although the T&C, taken directly off a live Amazon page, say "Offer does not apply to product bundles including but not limited to console game bundles." I was able to get the 20% discount on that product bundle.

Actually, if you look at the T&C you posted a link to, it says "and accessory bundles", but the current T&C only says "console bundles."

No, we got star wars and non-star wars nerf guns, without special effects. Little shitty ones.

These, to be exact. But without the blue. Got about 15 of them.

Oh I wouldn't either. We need sales. But doesn't mean we need to buy into it too.

If you pre-order the DIGITAL version from Amazon or Best Buy you will get all the same freebies. You will get Alan Wake + both DLC, American Nightmare, and the Windows 10.

I can't find any info on Gamestop offering the digital copy. They don't sell it on their website. So I assume they aren't offering it. They only have the disc version.

That is a great idea! personally I went ahead and learned it just to talk to my neighbor once in a blue moon but it has helped me immeasurably in other situations where people don't seem to know what to do when someone is signing at you (I live near a large deaf school area and most don't realize it) Learning American Sign Language: Levels I & II--Beginning & Intermediate (2nd Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0205275532/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_RIQ8vbM27G5J6 Is the book you want btw it's found much cheaper in other places (hell if you want to get with me in pm I can look for my old college copy and maybe send it along) also a language, specifically a niche language looks amazing on a resume.
