Gamestop will give 100$ off any PS3 becuase of Sony's Fuck Up with PSN - Polidicks

[QUOTE=J S nx;29727034] Gamestop The last few weeks have been turbulent for PlayStation 3 users. As a result of the PlayStation Network's prolonged outage, gamers can't play online, purchase games off of the PlayStation Store, or access their friends list. In essence, all PlayStation 3 consoles around the world are in offline mode. But could it be that this outage and the PR fiasco that surrounded it has hurt PlayStation 3 sales? The e-mail.Some members of retailer GameStop's Power-Up Rewards Program received an e-mail today outlining a new deal that will net purchasers $100 off a brand-new PlayStation 3. As a "members-only exclusive," the e-mail states that 160 and 320 GB PS3s can be purchased using a special coupon members have access to, cutting $100 off the purchase price. Gamers who receive this e-mail will have access to the special coupon by logging into the GameStop website and consulting the Active Offers section of the page. According to the e-mail, this deal runs through Sunday, May 29th. Thank you to IGN reader Jonathon Dornbush for helping with this story. Disclosure: IGN and GameStop are partners.[/Q] [/QUOTE=J [url]http://ps3.ign.com/articles/116/1166996p1.html[/url]

[QUOTE=GodKing;29729124]It's been out for 5 years now, on top of this shit. $200 and you have a deal.[/QUOTE] Uh. They're $300 anyway. With the $100 off that does make $200. I'm going by [url=http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-160gb+ps3]this[/url] by the way.

[QUOTE=dvondrake;29729164]Membership is only like $15 though is it not?[/QUOTE] For Powerup Rewards "Pro", yeah.

Damn I didn't get an Email. I did win the Dutch National Lottery apparently though.

I've got the membership, it's a real ripoff, only 10% extra for trade ins, and look at this points bullshit [quote] [LIST] [*]10 points per dollar spent on all new games and consoles [*]20 points per dollar spent on pre-owned games, accessories and consoles [*]20 points per dollar on traded-in games or consoles [*]Up to 500 points for activating online, completing your profile and establishing your Game Library [/LIST] [/quote]1000 points is worth about one dollar in the catalog, I traded in 40 or so games and I've only got 10000 points now, which is enough to get me a shitty t-shirt, I don't recommend it anyway.

You also get 10% off used games. It pays for itself if you ask me.

Still got my trusty 'ole brick PS3 from '07. I still don't use it though. :P

Sony is literally going to murder whoever did this to them. Yakuza style. - talking about the hackers. sorry for not being specific.

I for one am surprised they've already given up. I mean yeah, I've considered the possibility but I didn't think it would happen so fast.

Fuck them, I've got the "Pro" membership thing and I didn't get shit.

I hope they do the same thing with psp's
