Need a gift for the video game enthusiast in your life? You can pick up some great games, and save a little money while you do it if you shop at GameStop today. They have several great deals going on right now.
Every “gamer” is going to have his own list of what video games he really would like to receive as gifts this Christmas. Lists are helpful, especially if you know nothing at all about video games, or are unsure which games he already has (and is finished with). Video games can be somewhat expensive to buy, especially if you are buying more than one, and are getting the latest, hottest, most popular game of the moment. Fortunately, you can spend a little less money on video games this Christmas if you take advantage of the deals at GameStop.
GameStop has an excellent deal, for this weekend only. Buy two pre-owned video games, and get a third one for free. This sale started today, Friday, December 10, 2010, and will run through Sunday, December 12, 2010. This sale includes games for Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, and Sony PSP.
“Pre-owned”, of course, is a fancy way of saying “used”. There is nothing wrong with buying a used video game! All it means is that someone else got the game, (potentially the first day it became available to buy), spent hours playing through it, and “beat the game”. Often, you can find pre-owned copies of video games that haven’t been around for very long. This deal will be going on in GameStop stores all weekend long, if you would like to walk into one, and sort through their pre-owned games by hand. Or, you can go to their website and use the Promo Code B2G1PS when you are ready to check out.
If you purchase games from their website, they have a deal on shipping. If your purchase is $75.00 or more, and your items were in stock, you can get free 3-Day shipping. This offer is only good on orders placed before December 21, 2010. They also are promising to try their best to make sure that the delivery will arrive by December 24, 2010. If it doesn’t, they will send you an online coupon that is good for $10.00 off your next purchase at GameStop.com.
There is another deal if you buy some video games from their website, and would like to pick them up at your local GameStop store. Full details are on their website, but basically, you make your purchase from the website, and indicate that you want to pick it up from the store. Then, you go to the store, and give your “Ready for PickUp” email to the sales clerk. You get a coupon code that gives you 15% off your next purchase of games (if that purchase is $29.99 or more).
