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 other Nintendo and RPG titles at around $15, with some in store stacks bringing the total even lower. The best value comes from pairing the $10 off two new games Pro promo with rewards or monthly credits, and a few local pickups came sealed or complete. The main catch is inventory and fulfillment, since many listings were out of stock, pickup orders were canceled, and online orders sometimes arrived open box, gutted, or used despite being sold as new. It is a solid price if you can verify stock in person and do not mind some packaging risk.
Shoppers who only care about playing the game, because $15 can still be a strong value even when packaging is open or missing.
Shoppers needing reliable inventory, because store listings can show out of stock while nearby locations still have copies or cancel pickup orders later.
Some copies arrive sealed, but others arrive open-box, gutted, or with generic black cases even when ordered as new. In-store pickup is safer if you want to inspect the condition before accepting it.
Yes, the $10 off 2 new games Pro promo can stack in store, and a $5 reward can be applied too. That can drop two new games to about $15 total or around $10 each depending on the combo.
Yes, pickup orders have been canceled after placement, sometimes because the store could not hold the item or because it was not picked up in time. Some orders also never got a ready email, so checking stock and timing in person matters.
No, the website and app can show items as out of stock even when stores have copies on the shelf, and inventory can change by location. Checking in person has worked for several shoppers, especially before scalpers clear stock.
No, the $15 price is for new copies; pre-owned listings can show lower prices such as $13.99 or other used pricing. Some shoppers found the pre-owned versions cheaper, but the new deal is the one tied to the advertised sale.
Got my order in at 5:30a for 8 games thinking there's a good chance i'll get the last sealed copy if store to ship is fulfilled and boy was i wrong. I received 3 sealed games and 5 were gutted copies and to make matters worse the gutted copies were not resealed and so when i tried to return them at the store i was informed the store could not refund or exchange and directed me to Customer Service. I spent the next 50 minutes on the phone and finally got through and CS told me i can send in my games once i receive the updated shipping label in the email which i have yet to receive the email days later so i'm so aggravated by now i might as well just keep the 5 gutted copies. Anyway, if you want sealed copies you're better off going to the store and not take your chances with the online order and the fulfiller not resealing your gutted copies lol
So I ordered 2 new games from Gamestop from this list (Super Mario RPG, Mario and Luigi: Brothership) when I seen this posted here a few days ago. I received them today 05/23 and they came late by a day, and postage due, so after having to pay shipping to Gamestop on the website $7, I had to pay the postage due of $6. After I opened the package I got 1 new game and 1 used game thats not in the plastic wrap. I'm done with Gamestop.
No idea how this company is still in business. Just re-re-re-re-re-confirmed my past experience of never having anything in stock locally, or available to ship. It's quite amazing really.
These guys have the worst order tracking. Whole order says Shipped. 3 shipping notifications. I can't tell if the other 3 got canceled, are pending or what.

GameStop Pro stacking can reduce the effective per-game cost when buying two new games.
In-store pickup can let you refuse the order immediately if the copy is not new.
Super Mario RPG can show up as a sealed new copy when purchased through pickup.
Some shoppers report getting multiple $15 titles for under $40 shipped when ordering both games together.
Online fulfillment can send gutted or incorrect cases, and returns or exchanges may be difficult.
Pickup and online orders can be canceled after ordering, including cancellations tied to pickup timing.
Inventory availability can be unreliable, with website stock changing and local stores showing out-of-stock.
Shipping and postage due can add unexpected costs, and some deliveries arrive late or with used condition.
