What you should know about GameStop
GameStop traces its roots to Babbage's, a software store that James McCurry and Gary Kusin opened in Dallas in 1984. The GameStop brand and gamestop.com launched in 1999, and the company, headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, has been independent since Barnes & Noble gave up control in 2004. It sells new and pre-owned games, consoles, accessories, collectibles and trading cards. GameStop has shrunk its store base – it closed hundreds of US stores and left Canada, Germany, Ireland and Italy – and doesn't operate in the UK.
Trade-ins are central to GameStop's pricing: you can sell games, consoles and other tech for cash or store credit, and pre-owned copies are usually priced below new ones. GameStop Pro is a paid annual membership that adds extra trade-in credit, an extra discount on pre-owned items and collectibles, and members-only deals and events. On top come launch-day bundles, Black Friday and clearance on older stock. The same game can therefore have several prices at once: new, pre-owned, digital and special edition.
Game prices tend to fall in steps after release, and pre-owned prices move with supply. A price alert on the exact version – the standard or deluxe edition, PlayStation or Switch, new or pre-owned – tells you when it reaches the price you're willing to pay. It's also useful for console bundles and collectibles, where a short promotion can make a big difference. If you're trading in towards a purchase, track the item first so you know what you'll still have to pay.

Saving tips for GameStop
Pre-owned games are often much cheaper than new ones. Track both versions of the game you want.
Planning a trade-in? Compare the cash and store-credit offers – credit is typically higher – and check whether a trade-in bonus or the extra Pro credit is running before you hand over your games.
GameStop has closed hundreds of stores, so check that your local store is still open before planning a pickup or a trade-in, and compare in-store pickup with shipping for online orders.
