7 Tips To Save Money On GameStop Purchases.

7 Tips To Save Money On GameStop Purchases.

Having been an avid gamer for the last few years, I have learned a trick or two when it comes to saving money on games and getting the best deals. Below are 7 ways I have learnt to save moeny on my game purchases.

#1 There are a number of websites that collect all the GameStop Coupons available each month. You can usually find a GameStop coupon that gives you free shipping or 10 - 15% off.

#2 Check out the GameStop website for their daily deals. It is hard to predict what the daily deal will be for, but I have got some pretty good deals in the past.

#3 Keep an eye on GameStops weekly ad at www.gamestop.com/weeklyad for their weekly deals.

#4 If you know you are going to purchase a certain game it is often beneficial to pre-order it. GameStop often have exclusive bonus content for pre-orders.

#5 Sign up for a GameStop Rewards card as this offers great savings if you buy games frequently.

#6 Combine coupons: Most of the GameStop Coupons that you will come across will specify that they can not be combined with other coupons, but often I have found that free shipping coupons can be combined with other x% off coupons.

#7 Use GameStops download service: If you are not too bothered about having the game box or disc, then downloading games from GameStop's download service is often my cost effective.

I hope I have given you guys some valuable tips and that you will be able to reduce your Gamestop bill i the future. If you have any other tips, please leave them in the comments below and I will add them to this hub. Eventually I hope this Hub will be able to offer gamers the best tips for reducing the cost of their gaming habbit.

GameStop Offers First-Ever Preorder Bonus for DLC

GameStop is offering the first-ever preorder bonus for DLC to gamers who preorder the Halo Reach Noble Map Pack at its retail locations in the U.S.

Things are rough for retailers of digital products. Just ask the people at Blockbuster, the once-mighty behemoth of the video rental business that stumbled into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September. There aren't many specialty retailers more vulnerable to a similar fate than GameStop but the company is doing what it can to dodge that bullet.

Its latest gambit is a mix of old and new: Offering the tried-and-true preorder bonus reward with in-store orders for downloadable content, specifically the Noble Map Pack for Halo Reach. Gamers who preorder the DLC from GameStop will also get the exclusive Mark V Spartan Flaming Helmet.
The process is simple. Instead of buying the DLC through normal channels, pop into your local GameStop, sign up for the free "PowerUp Rewards" program and then lay down your cash. On November 30 a Noble Map Pack DLC code will be delivered to the "Downloads and Add-Ons" section of your account, along with an avatar code for the Flaming Helmet. Pricing for the DLC will be the same through GameStop as it is on Xbox Live: $9.99 or 800 Microsoft points.

So, smart move? The downside is that you have to get off the couch and drag yourself to GameStop; the upside is that for the same amount of money, you get extra stuff. It seems like a pretty solid strategy to me and I wouldn't be surprised to see other big game retailers testing similar waters pretty soon. And hey, it wouldn't kill you to go outside and get some fresh air once in awhile, either.

GameStop won't stock Medal of Honor on U.S. bases

GameStop stores on base at Army & Air Force Exchange Service installations across the world will no longer advertise and will not stock copies of the upcoming first-person shooter Medal of Honor, which includes a multiplayer mode that allows players to take on U.S. soldiers as members of the Taliban. 

When asked if the U.S. military requested this action, AAFES spokesperson Judd Anstey said, "No, sir." This decision, Anstey said, comes from the AAFES. "No one requested it. It was a determination made by this entity, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service."

The person ultimately responsible for the decision is Major General Bruce Casella, the commander of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, who said in a statement that "out of respect to those we serve, we will not be stocking this game. We regret any inconvenience this may cause authorized shoppers, but are optimistic that they will understand the sensitivity to the life and death scenarios this product presents as entertainment. As a military command with a retail mission, we serve a very unique customer base that has, or possibly will, witness combat in real life.”

Preorders from a GameStop at an AAFES will be transferred to the nearest off-base GameStop location. The situation grows a little less clear when it comes to used copies of Medal of Honor once a soldier wants to trade in the game at a GameStop on an AAFES installation.

"Since the game's not been released yet, we're still working through those details," Anstey says. "Certainly, this is exclusive to the newest incarnation of the game."

We also contacted GameStop and Medal of Honor publisher EA for comment.
Anstey says that the AAEFS is part of the Department of Defense but that it doesn't receive tax dollars -- revenue comes from sales at its exchanges.

This isn't the first time a product has been made unavailable on military bases. In 1996, Congress passed the Military Honor and Decency Act, which bars the sale of "sexually explicit material." It was challenged on First Amendment grounds, and the U.S. appeals court upheld the law in 2002.

UPDATE: Judd Anstey of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs issued this statement Tuesday, reaffirming the AAFES' decision to not allow on-base GameStops to carry Medal of Honor. "The Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s position concerning stocking the newest Medal of Honor video game remains unchanged as its facilities have no plans to carry the title," Antsey said in the statement.

AAFES Commander Major General Bruce Cassella said in the statement, "Out of respect to those touched by the ongoing, real-life events presented as a game, Exchanges will not be carrying this product. While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, our position is consistent with the direction stated a month ago. I expect the military families who are authorized to shop the Exchange are aware, and understanding, of the decision not to carry this particular offering."

UPDATE 2: In regard to the AAFES' continued stance on not carrying Medal of Honor, EA Senior Public Relations Manager Amanda Taggart says, "We respect AAFES' authority to decide what's best for their customers. EA has not asked for, and does not expect, a change in the Defense Department's decision to restrict the availability of Medal of Honor on bases."
