Okay, even though I'd love to use the code I got, I can't really justify spending money on games when I've to get the timing belt done on the car and definitely won't be buying anything before the 21st, if someone wants my 25% off, PM me. First come, first served.

Get the belt done in NI with the ex rate, then buy yourself a game

Ah, I'm getting a decent price from my mechanic so I can't complain but between that and just being back from holidays in London, I've one arm as long as the other when it comes to my finances this month. I would have used it if Spiderman was still in the sale but it had gone before I figured out how to read the email in plain text.

Plus I got Metro Exodus for 15 quid while I was away so I can't complain... actually I can - I've hit a story breaking bug in that game which has pissed me off no end and it means I have to repeat a major chunk of the game to get by it.

A few interesting indie games there. Also, it's last day today to use the 25% off voucher for those who got the email and haven't used it yet

GameStop have a GamesCon special offer at the moment - it's their previous preorder offer - i.e. preorder a game for€10 when you trade-in 1 game from the list.

Offer - https://www.gamestop.ie/gamescom

List of games - https://www.gamestop.ie/trade-list

(Preordered Borderlands 3 for 10, using Dragon Crown Pro, which I got from GameStop last week for €20... Enjoyed it on the Vita, but could not enjoy it on the PS4)

Just seen that. Really good offer with that list of games. Note, offer ends this Sunday though

You can pick up Detroit Become Human for €20 in Argos if you need a game from that list.

Sorry for silly question, but if I've a game from the list a new game in the preorder is on a tenner to buy outright?!!

Aokay

Cheapest game to buy that I've seen on the list is Lego Marvel Superheroes 2. Smyths are doing a deal where you can get both the PS4 and Xbox One version for €40

Aokay

Yes that's correct. It's a great deal. I think I've pre ordered like 5 games with it at this point.

Same. I'm not sure what I'm going to order but I'm trading that game in

ImANoob08

if you do that offer does it matter which game you get?

for example some games are €60 and some are €90 are they all €10 + a game from the list or what?

ffocused

I picked up 2 copies of Cars 3 in Smyths and traded for NFS Heat & Star Wars Jedi on Gamescom deal in Gamestop.

€60 in total for both games Happy days!

If they are special/collectors editions, you will probably have to put down a bigger deposit of €20. I'd say phone them to be sure.

I've never done the GameStop switcheroo before... Will the same store take two copies of the same game no questions asked?

ffocused

you can trade 2 different games together, but only 1 at a time in my case. Luckily i am in Dublin City, so only had to go to Liffey St from Henry St for the second game.

The exact term is '1 copy of the same game per transaction', so you might be able to do 2 separate transactions if you ask nicely.

Thar_Cian

Is the offer available for any pre-order or is it restricted to select games?

Cheers. I'm in Dublin too, so was actually thinking about those two branches as well, with Smyths just around the corner! :pac:

The offer says:

"Pre-order today and get new games for only €9.99!
when you trade-in 1 game from our trade list!*

*Offer valid in-store on select games, editions & formats only. Ask staff for more information. Valid while stocks last."

So most likely select games, but iirc nearly any pre-order for the standard edition will be included. Tempted by this myself, but unsure what to get. Most likely NBA 2K20. Oh, actually, Wreckfest!

They've some games mentioned here: https://www.gamestop.ie/gamescom

Found more terms on the trade in list:

Inclusion List Valid from 01.08.19 - 01.09.19
Applies to purchase of standard edition only. No multiples. No dealers. Trade-ins are subject to Manager approval. No cash alternative.
Trade-ins must be in full working condition to receive full value. Not valid in conjunction with any other offer, voucher or sale. Valid in-store only. List is subject to change.

Does anyone know, from previous experience, if you can trade in an Xbox game and pre-order a PS4 game?

Adamcp898

Is it just the 6 games they have listed you can preorder? FIFA for 30 quid is tempting

Pretty sure it's anything, as long as it's a pre-order. May have restrictions by store.

Isn't FIFA part of EA access? Could be got for €25 then for a year.

Yes, as long as it is on the list. It doesn't matter if it isn't the same platform as the preordered game.

Fifa 20 won't go into the vault until after the end of the season.

gerrybbadd

Fifa 19 was added to the vault on 24th July, so i'd imagine it'd be a similar time frame for Fifa 20

Potential-Monke

OK, so yes, confirmed you can use any game on the list regardless of what platform you're pre-ordering.

Got Lego DC Superheroes 2 in Argos for €25 (seems like everyone else in Limerick has already got the cheaper pre-owned ones in CEX/Smyths) and pre-ordered Wreckfest. As Wreckfest was €65.99 I got it for €4.99 with the trade in!
