New Nintendo 3DS: Now with Improved 2DS Functionality

[Cream Soda]

it did in fact end on sunday, was extended till sunday. however, it could only be done in store and you had to purchase in store, or via web in store in order for it to work. the only other option is if you had secured it online and it was delivered on Friday so that you could get into the store and do the return/tradein to get the 100 credit. stores have no interactions available with gamestop.com orders, its a seperate entity.

We ended up doing it in store (which is why I have 2 on the way now) and still didn't get the full trade in (I couldn't apply the lesser tradein they did give me to the one I already ordered, so I had to do a new order with them there). Can you post me some links or something so I can go complain

So looking at the archived webpage, it said it was expended to the 15th (Thx reddit)

Someone who supposedly works for gamestop also replied to my post on reddit and said

To confirm, you traded them in and bought /ordered a N3DS in the same transaction? You should've gotten the upped value if so. I believe there was an EBC code that had to be put in, at least if it was WIS. Not sure if it was automatic on buying in store.

At this point, I'm not sure what we could do in store. We'd probably end up calling CS for you and go from there.

So I was halfway through my response in saying they were in the same transaction and I go find my receipt, which is 2 receipts stapled together. One for the trade-in (at lesser value) stapled to the purchase of the new 3ds versus the trade in and purchase being together...

Damn dude, they screwed you on purpose. Go raise hell and play the race card.

[Lyall]

All of that should be timestamped, and better, the receipt should list transaction number. Get a manager (or hope there's a Regional in when you go) and raise hell. If you can print out something from their website showing the deal being valid through Sunday, coupled with your back-to-back transactions for the purchase and trade-in, you should be able to nail them for trying to rip you off. Definitely something to raise hell over.

It probably wasn't deliberate, because Gamestop's a shittily run company, but you're still entitled to what corporate says you should get.

[izembo]

don't go in and raise hell, you're less likely to get them to help you out. be humane, it's people. just show the receipts, explain what happened and they should be able to rering the trade for the extra $30.

I actually double checked, it's 55 all together (traded in a 3ds and an xl). I'm talking to customer service first online before I go into a store.

[Cream Soda]

So I called corporate and I was told straight up that the trade-in was extended to the 15th, but was told I need to go to the specific store that I made the transaction speak with the manager there. So now that I know that they did screw me over, I'll go in and try to see if the manager can help me. Not planning on raising hell, don't really need to with corporate having confirmed the extension of the promotion. and I don't really care if they just give me store credit. I was planning on getting monster hunter anyways

Get screwed over by company. Give said company same intended business. I fucking hate GameStop.

[Cream Soda]

Went in and talked to the manager. He verified that I got jipped and said he can't do anything until the new model actually goes in then he can refund me for it, and ring it up again and just do a deduction on the price and give me the rest back in cash. He wrote instructions on my receipt and if he's not on shit for the other employee I hand it to for to call him.

[izembo]

good, should be easily able to rectify once it comes in then. glad to hear it.

I really hope that Developpers will do more stuff with the CPP on the new 3ds. Like imo the Thumb stick is useless for Majora's Mask, I wish you could configure it to put items to it (kinda like the C buttons from the N64) and not always be about camera

You can't use amazon credit to buy gift cards.

Also, they will figure that out and take the money back.

Man you jinxed me lol. They did take it back. Been going back and forth with them since the day you made this post to get my balance restored... and finally got it restored. They actually restored it twice, but the system kept revoking it for them automatically. After the first few chats w/ customer service, I shifted the focus from how I got the balance to begin with to the fact that it was already fixed and that the system keeps revoking it again and again; and then after enough agents, when they'd check the history of my claim, the fact that I got the money in error never came up anymore.

So after the last time it was revoked, I kept getting (check in 2-3 business days) and nothing was happening. Just talked to a new agent at the end of each of the 3 days. One was finally able to help filled out a form to the gift card team and instead of restoring the balance that kept getting revoked, they just ended up crediting a new gift card all together for the same amount to my account. This was done last night and it hasn't been revoked yet (The other times there were only 2-3 hrs between the balance being restored and my balance being revoked).

Took 2 weeks of back and forth, but got to keep my balance in the end. Go me

We should just let the other 3DS topic die out, btw.

[Ratatapa]

shouldn't we keep both not to confuse people? like put normal 3ds games in the old thread, and new 3ds games here?

[Kaisha]

Not enough games for it to matter. If a game gets enough discussion it'll warrant its own thread like MH4U has.

On that note, ordered MH4U. Is Nintendo's own website the only place to get a Circle Pad Pro for the XL? Everywhere else I look is just imports from Japan.

[Ratatapa]

yup or ebay or kijiji fo used

[Adajer]

if you dont have a new 3ds, you deserve to post

So wait, you basically did all that to get money that wasn't rightfully yours?
