With the launch of both next generation consoles in a little over a month, Gamestop has cut the prices on their current generation iterations for a limited time.
From October 11-24, GameStop is offering a pre-owned original Xbox 360 for $99.99 (a $30 discount over the previous price of up to $129.99), a pre-owned Xbox Slim 4GB model for $119.99 (previously priced at $179.99), and any pre-owned PS3 for $149.99 (previously priced at up to $259.99). Additionally, customers who purchase any of these gaming systems will receive any pre-owned game of their choice priced at $19.99 or less for FREE.
This is a good opportunity for someone to pick up a current-gen system with a lack of backwards compatibility on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Sony’s new console may receive some sort of backwards compatibility through Gaikai later, but we really have no information on that yet. Gamestop PowerUp Reward members will get 30% off pre-owned accessories for these two systems, with PowerUp Reward Pro members getting another 10% off on top of that for accessories.

October 16, 2013 at 3:25 PMI was very upset with GAME STOP last time I visted the store. I decided to sell my PS3 a few months ago because of a few extra bills I had. So I called my local GAME STOP, told them I wanted to sell my PS3 500G. They told my I would get 150.00 cash. It wasn’t the amount I had hoped for but I said oj because I really needed the extra cash for a bill. Anyway I I drive all the way to the store show them my PS3 and they look it over to check it out. It was a beautiful machine only a few months old not even a scratch on it. The guy looks at me and says “ok so you want a 100.00 cash?”…I was like ???WHAT !!!.. I said that’s not what the told me over the phone a few mins ago?Is this some kind of corporate trick to get people into the store and buy merchandise ?If GAME STOP wants a good representation and loyal customers,maybe they should not lie and promise people prices and service they can’t guarantee. Least to say I was very disappointed and will not go back Warning to others…make sure you get the price you ask for..otherwise just put it on CRAIG’S LIST .
