Curious to see if any of these deals actually happen. Especially the Nintendo games like Super Mario RPG. They do not like making their games affordable anymore.
I miss Nintendo Select, Player's Choice, and the like.
This GameStop sale is strongest for Mario and Luigi: Brothership, Super Mario RPG, and Suikoden, with several pickups landing at $15 or less and some Pro stacks cutting the total further. The prices look especially good for Nintendo titles and for games that have held closer to $20 to $35 elsewhere. The main catch is inventory and fulfillment, since many listings are out of stock, pickup orders get canceled, and online orders can arrive open, gutted, or in generic cases instead of sealed. It is a sharp deal if local stock is available and condition matters less than price.
Players wanting a cheap single-player RPG, because Brothership is charming, lightweight, and worth $15 for kids or Paper Mario-style fans.
Availability is highly local: some stores had multiple copies on shelves even when the website showed out of stock, while other shoppers found nothing within 100 miles or no ship-to-home option. Checking in person can reveal stock the site misses.
Some copies arrive sealed, but others arrive open-box, gutted, or in generic black cases even when ordered as new. In-store pickup gives you a chance to inspect and refuse a copy that isn't sealed, while online orders can be a gamble on condition.
Yes, the $10 off 2 new games Pro promo can stack in store, and some shoppers also used a $5 monthly reward on top. That brought two new games down to about $15 total or roughly $16.xx out the door depending on tax.
At $15, Brothership is widely treated as a strong buy for Nintendo fans, especially if you want a charming, lightweight RPG. A practical caveat is that it is single-player, and some buyers dislike it or think it is only average.
The $13.99 listings are pre-owned copies, while $15 is the new-copy price. Some pages also show different prices depending on how you reach the listing, so the site can be inconsistent.
Only order online from Gamestop if you're completely fine with the 50/50 chance you'll get a garbage case.
Still have no idea how Gamestop is still getting away with selling used/damaged games as New online. I'd gotten burned at least three times on completely separate orders spread out years apart from each other, all either opened and damaged cases and discs/cartridges, or sent in the generic Gamestop cases. Never again. These prices are great if you want JUST the game and are fine with gambling whether or not you'll actually receive a "new" copy. If you want these for your kids or somebody you know who doesn't care at all for the case, go for it.
I just stopped by my local GameStop to check out Ninja Gaiden on PS5, but they only had it in open box condition. I didn't bother to check the disc or if the booklet was missing. I told the worker that I only wanted new and left... At least he didn't try to convince me that open box condition was new.
Blackops 7 is dogshit . Not even worth at 15 unfortunately. Should be a sub $10 game .
I was once very much so into COD. Theyve been dogshit for awhile now. If it didn't require PS+ for online play, Id probably still hop on and play zombies on occasion but the PS+ requirement for online play is a nogo for me. I was an Essentials sub but I buy my games so basically the only perk was the online play and it's 2026...I'm not paying to play online. When my sub ended, my online play did too and rarely do I miss it. Anyways, yeah, to hell with COD.
The GameStop website was a little unreliable, when it came to stock.
Searching for Super Mario RPG originally showed my local stores before opening hours, only to switch to 30+ miles locations after opening.
Luckily, there's a GameStop close to me that I was able to check out, and they had some new copies. So if it's not too much of a hassle, just try going in person before potential scalpers clean up.
More than likely it showed no stock because people ordered for pickup prior and the employee fulfilled it before they opened.
Bought Brothership at 6:30am for pickup and at 2pm I got am email that my order was canceled. I used the settlement coupon and when I try to use it again it says it's been used. Awesome.

Went in to pick up my order. They gave me two black cases not sealed original cases. Asked them I ordered new not used! They told me it's new game but just don't have the cases since people steals the prints all the time and decided to do different way to sell new games? I wonder if I got fooled. I haven't ordered games from game stop for a while and I don't understand why they changes so much.

GameStop Pro stacking can reduce the effective per-game cost when buying multiple new games together.
Local inventory can sometimes be better in person than the website suggests, including finding multiple copies near opening.
In-store pickup can let you verify condition immediately and refuse the order if it is not new.
Some shoppers report receiving sealed copies for at least certain titles when buying through the deal.
Orders marked as new can arrive gutted or with incorrect cases, and returns or exchanges can be difficult.
Pickup and online orders can be canceled after ordering, including cancellations that also break coupon reuse.
Online fulfillment can involve drop-shipping from random stores, which can increase condition and packaging variability.
Shipping and delivery can add unexpected costs and delays, including postage due and late arrival.
