    Right! Going to see if I can find it pre-owned at Best Buy or something.

      I bought Red Dead, GTA 4, & LA Noir in a used combo pack at Gamestop last weekend. $13 for all 3.

        Ok, hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this...
        I have a GameStop coupon for buy 2 preowned products, get a 3rd of equal or lesser value free.

        Say I buy 2 pre owned consoles then get a 3rd free...then return the two and trade in the third (because surely i cant get $ back on it)...so i actually make $ (in the form of a gamestop gift card)...would that even work??

          Thats not gonna work. If you try to make a return your gonna have to return all items including the free item. You can't return the 2 you paid for and keep the free console. The reason you got the free console is because you bought 2.
          It’s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didn’t.

            Consoles are not part of the deal. Only used games and accessories.

                      Are you??

                      Whats wrong with trying to work the system in my favor if it hurts no one?

                      If there were 3 pre-owned items I wanted I'd just do the deal outright, but there is only one game I want that is available pre-owned (The Last Of Us) and then the camera would be my 2nd item. Just doesnt make sense to pass up on a free item which I can sell/trade towards something I do want (2k25 or GTA). I was just curious if i could get even more value by doing the consoles instead of games/accessories...not sure how it is not a serious question.

                        Because your original message is return fraud. "Gaming" the system to get something free. Hurts no one? Lol.

                              Thinking you could use the coupon for consoles was one thing, but thinking you could return two and still keep one for FREE blows my mind. That's beyond ridiculous.

                              Retailers have B2G1 all the time. Do you think that in all of these decades of them doing deals like that they haven't thought about the possibility of your little scam? Give me a break.

                                Ok, I didn't think the scenario through completely. Didn't think it would ruffle feathers so much either.

                                I was wrong, you and the other guy are right...now we can move along.
