kitty Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) This is an OFFICIAL Skype promotion that basically gives a free year of Skype Premium. That means: NO ads, free group video calls, and free group screen sharing. http://collaboration.skype.com/promotion/ It took me about a week to get my code emailed to me so I think they're doing it in spurts. I punched in three emails and got codes for each email. The email you use does NOT have to be the email your Skype account is registered with. I don't believe you need to sign up for the newsletter either. Your voucher or prepaid card was successfully redeemed, and we are now activating the following services:$107.88 Skype Premium Edit: I also just checked to see if they turn on some silly renewal setting and they don't. If you want to double check yourself this link will take you to your Skype premium settings: https://secure.skype.com/account/call-phones/settings?package=sp-package Edited December 21, 2013 by kitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BardicKnowledge Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That Skype deal above is pretty sick -- get on it if you see the thread today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yeah, that Skype deal is one of those looks-too-good-to-be-true ones for sure, but it's legit, and my account's Premium now. Ya'll with Skype should totally get on this. Although I did notice in the terms that they reserve the right to cancel this promotion on us all anytime during that year, so...

Brandon Strader Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Not sure if this is considered a deal, but PS4 is at Bestbuy. Not for sure how long. I was under the impression that it's still in a shortage, so if anyone was trying to grab one, this might be your chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alrubedo Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Not that I bought anything, but a Gamestop in Savannah had eight(!) copies of Xenoblade Chronicles, new, for $53....And after I spent over a hundred on my copy. Welp. Hindsight...-shakes angry fist- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I saw some used copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy at Gamestop for like $43 each, but even better than that, I got them to special order for me LEGEND OF HEROES: TEAR OF VERMILLION for $2.99 and no extra charge. Not sure why everyone hates Gamestop all the time. I've never gotten anything but decency at least out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never gotten anything but decency at least out of them. the reason is that those 'used' copies were never used - they were printed for gamestop exclusively as part of a merchandising deal with nintendo. gamestop took them all out of cases, said 'oh it's used now we don't have to charge the MSRP' and tried to sell them for 80.00. Then everyone found out, nobody bought them, and like every store has a few copies left over they're trying to get rid of. and any employee who you ask about it says that 'they found a bunch of old copies in storage somewhere at gamestop hq.' despite the fact they're printed on new boxes, which weren't used when trilogy originally came out not sure i'd call that decency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also copies of Pokemon HG/SS are 52. Which is way higher than the original price of 40 bucks. No one seems to have noticed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say they get more shit than they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet any time someone brings a new copy of a game to me, I ask them if they want the used copy, they tell me no, and then I sell them the new copy. Customer service is actually a huge deal for Gamestamp. I saw a guy that had spectacular numbers get fired on the spot for trying too hard to push the used merch. Customer service never takes a backseat to store policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy that had spectacular numbers get fired on the spot for trying too hard to push the used merch. Customer service never takes a backseat to store policy. I back this statement, personally. I have had experiences in 4 separate Gamestops here in SE Michigan and I can not think of a single time I left a store upset. They always ask me if I want them to call their neighboring stores if they don't have a game I am searching for (Recent memory, Final Fantasy Thearerhythm), and always greet me when I walk in, even if they have large lines.

Brandon Strader Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I saw a guy that had spectacular numbers get fired on the spot for trying too hard to push the used merch. In this economy? ouch. They should have given the guy a raise. Then again, how hard did he push the used merch? Hard enough to deserve being fired? I kinda doubt it. Selling the used one is in the company's best interests isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 FINALLY a Kingdoms of Amalur sale on Steam. Never happened during the big season sales so I thought it was just left for the scrap heap since it's an EA (ie Origin) game and Big Huge Games is done for anyway. It's 70% off. http://store.steampowered.com/app/102500/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
