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.
Received one of of two games in my order (Mario and Luigi/Samba De Amigo). Samba de Amigo arrived used with a broken case. I started the return at https://returns.narvar.com/gamestop/returns and will be going in to the store tomorrow to try and replace with an actual brand new copy.
This is blatant false advertising and will be the last time I order anything online from Gamestop, if at all.
Seems like I had better luck than most. I ordered 23 games and only 2 were not sealed. The employee offered to return them and refund me before he even handed them over because he figured (correctly) that I would not want to keep them.
Ordered 5 games. 2 of them arrived (FF7 Crisis Core and Hitman World of Assassination), 1 got a tracking number that was never picked up, and 2 that never shipped. The Hitman I received was unsealed with a "NEW" sticker stuck on the unsealed case. I brought it to my local Gamestop to get it returned and they wouldn't even take it because they said the store that shipped it out didn't bother to put one of the clear circle stickers on the side to make it truly "new". Ridiculous that putting all these dumb stickers on the box that are annoying to take off makes their opened games new. They said I had to go to the store that shipped it to return it, but couldn't tell me which store sent it. I would need to call customer service instead.
For the other 3 games that never shipped, I gave them a call on Saturday and it sounded like they just marked the one with a tracking number as lost in transit and are shipping me a new one and did something in their system to reiterate that I still want the other 2 games and to ship them.

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.
