Gamestop Closing - Selling stock off.

ozmo · 18-05-2023 1:48pm #1

Sad to see another tech related shop go - pretty much will be just handbags and shoe shops left when they leave the mall.

But they have 30% off used games for PS5 and XBox X currently. And the % off seems to going up often.

Got "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" for 30 euros - and some PS4 games for about 2 euros each.

ozmo · 18-05-2023 4:29pm

Found receipt with exact prices - big games still pricey - but thats ps5 for you - lots of stock in shop - they said not all was out on display:

These were for Used - but seem fine.

Ratch & Clank PS5 €31.99 (also many other main titles this price)

Killzone Shadow Fall PS4 €2.39

Homefront Revolution PS4 €1.59

Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 €11.99

Deus Ex Mank Div PS4 €1.59

Just Cause 3 PS4 €4.10

thanks for posting, they’ll have to reduce by more closer to next month. Only 10% on switch software currently which makes the games only a similar price to SMYTHS etc!

Fat_Fingers · 18-05-2023 4:50pm

everything must go!!! = discount 10%

Yes - one to watch... but In store - there are signs for 30% off for some stuff (PS4) - 20% (PS5) and 10% for others. Nothing for hardware and merch yet.

in my case Ratch & Clank PS5 €39.99 - 20% off came down to almost reasonable €31.99 - which is cheaper than CEX €38

They were selling the actual shelves in the Liffey St branch the other day!

ECookie13 · 20-05-2023 12:48pm

Possibly the worst closing down sale i've ever seen.

They're committing to their reputation til the bitter end.

feargantae · 20-05-2023 5:43pm

Thought it was gas the new Zelda game is €60 in Argos and €70 in GameStop!

True to form til the very end!

Hideki99235 · 20-05-2023 10:05pm

Much better off getting a PlayStation sub.

Ratchet and clank and new Horizon are on it. Worth it for those alone.

Discounts are horrible with Gamestop

I liked the idea of it when I got it - Had a sub from launch day for just over a year - but several games I had queued up and installed to play were removed before I had finished them, so I let it expire.

Plenty for now for me to get through anyway.

Fingleberries · 22-05-2023 12:58pm

Currently offering discount of -30% discount on some items.

Although, mathematically speaking, if you discount by minus 30%, does that not mean that you're adding 30%? (It is GameStop, after all 😁)

Grid legends is selling in gamestop for 50e.

It's free on PS Plus this month and they're closing next month.

Spn744 · 22-05-2023 3:19pm

20% off switch games now (was 10% last week) still can’t personally find great savings in comparison to Smyths etc…

john boye · 22-05-2023 7:29pm

They had 30% off in Liffey St on Friday but in Stephen's green on Saturday the discount was only 20%. They're hardly offering a better discount in the northside store, are they? Or did someone wake up in a cold sweat on Friday night and realise that 30% off €80 was too generous?

RobbingBandit · 22-05-2023 7:54pm

Stores have different closing dates so sales will be different

Which store is Northside?

Hideki99235 · 22-05-2023 11:19pm

I asked in store today and he said the sale might go to 40%. Which isn't bad for new Ps5 games.

They were also selling all the baskets and stands in store.

Of the two mentioned, Liffey Street is on the north side.

KillerShamrock · 23-05-2023 2:14pm

Any actually know when what stores are closing, asked in Tallaght they didn't seem to have a clue June was all they were told.

May hold out till some near me bump up discounts closer to final days

Fella in store said to me in Clarehall the 10th of June I believe and fully gone then with all stores and site by the end of the month. How accurate that is, I have no idea.

24th of June is meant to be the date internally. Ironically the same date as Argos are closing!

jimjangles · 24-05-2023 1:33pm

I don't suppose anyone bought their Series X pre-owned off GameStop. I was wondering what kind of condition they do be in. It seems a bit of a gamble really though, also no warranty so not sure it would be worth the saving, if it was faulty you'd be screwed with no one to go to.

Although GameStop are closing their website and store in the next month, they should have some service open for the next year or so in case any of the products they sell become faulty. Argos have something like this in place for when they close.

Argos have said you need to contact the manufacturer after they close. Nothing to do with them as they're gone
