Turns out the $30 GCU discount extends to the next week (11/2/14-11/8/14) as well for those who want to pick up Call of Duty Advanced Warfare and not anything coming out next week.

Also there will be a 50% bonus for video game trade ins that week.

Almost every major stock website and business site has them going out of business within the next two years.

So GCU just good for games $40 and more right? Also what does new games mean. Only ones released the same week? They have a limited list of games that will be valid for it? Not sure I'll get mileage on these then, but still thinking.... Thanks.

You can use GCU on any new game whether it is marked down to 10 dollars or a new release at 60 bucks. I bought a copy of the Puppeteer that was marked down to 20 bucks for 16 dollars plus tax after discount.

The only thing is regarding $40 is with the inital game purchase when you buy the GCU. After that, anything new you purchase gets the discount regardless of the price.

Just make sure any time you buy a game in-store to pay attention when they ring you up because the discount doesn't always work in-store. And getting it applied manually is a really fun experience.

I've never had any problems getting my 20% automatically applied with any game purchase I've made in-store or online -- and I've bought a LOT of games there in the past year.

We're going to be getting the GCU tomorrow... just deciding which new game we'll get. I'm thinking of getting Hyrule Warriors.

Metro Redux for X1 and PS4 is on sale at BB for $34.99. Of course it is just under the eligible price to get the GCU deal. However, it is $28 if you do have GCU.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas just hit the Xbox Live Marketplace incorrectly listed at $3.74 rather than the $14.99 price that was announced. They seem to be aware of it because the transaction errord out on their mobile site but I was still able to get it at that price via the console itself about 10 minutes ago.

Cool. $3.74 is worth that one with the HD.
