| Do You Have Change for a Million? |
| October 26, 2007 at 10:37am |
Not negotiable at your local GameStop.
We recently read an Associated Press story about a man who was arrested for
allegedly trying to pass a counterfeit $1-million bill
at a local supermarket to pay for his groceries. We also heard about
a woman who successfully purchased a hot-fudge sundae with a $200
bill featuring a picture of president George W. Bush, and then she
received $197.88 in change.
Don’t try this at your local GameStop. We’re onto you. Although we won’t take $1-million
or $200 bills,
we will, however, accept your used games and give you credit toward your next one. It’s
a more honest way to make money than printing it out. Take a look at our
Trade-In Values page
for special offers and pricing. For example, now through November 11, you can get an
extra $10 trade-in credit when you trade-in two XB360, Wii, or PS3 games. Or jump-start
your music career with our Rock Band Trade-up Offer or our Guitar Hero III Power Trade.
In addition to not accepting million-dollar bills, a few rules apply to these offers; so
check our Trade-In Values page for the complete details. All trade-in offers are only
valid in-store at your local GameStop.

| Calling All Machinimatic Masters |
| October 25, 2007 at 9:02am |
Enter your best SKATE scene in our contest.
You still have time to enter our
Machinima Contest, presented by the U.S. Navy. What is "machinima," you ask? In a nutshell, it's a short animated film made
with the tools and resources available within a game. We're not sure
what the nutshell has to do with it.
For this contest, we'd like you to take elements from your SKATE game,
create the world's greatest machinimatic epic, and then share with us
and your adoring public.
The Grand-Prize winner and a guest will receive two tickets to a professional basketball game in Dallas, TX; roundtrip airfare; two nights hotel accommodations;
$500 spending money and transportation to and from the game. The winner
will also receive a $500 GameStop gift card
and a commemorative plaque..
We reserve the right to decide what a "professional" basketball game
is. We have a pretty good donkey basketball team in Dallas. We also
reserve the right to decide what a "hotel" is. There may be some unused
space in our Grapevine, TX warehouse.
Hurry up because the deadline for entry is October 31. Make sure you look over the official rules before you enter. You can see the
entries we have so far here.
Good Luck! |

This unidentified, yet ruggedly handsome man represents the collective wisdom of GameStop.
In this high-paced, topsy-turvy world of ours, people have become accustomed
to getting their news as it happens. So we've decided to harness the global power of "teh interwebs" to bring you the latest happenings at GameStop.
Why? Because we have things to say — important things. At least we have things to say that are important to us. Also, if you count everyone working
in our network of stores, our distribution centers and our store-support fortress of solitude, it would add up to more than a million years of combined
gaming experience. Just like a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters, surely we'll come up with something brilliant every once in a while.
Check back daily to find out what's on our collective mind. If we host a tournament, you'll see it here. If David Hasselhoff wanders in to a GameStop store, you'll see it here. If we spot a
mullet in the halls of the corporate headquarters, you'll see it here. It's just one more way that we bring Power to the Players.
See you tomorrow!
