RIP

I enjoyed GCU so much. I think mine expires in November this year. Maybe next if I'm lucky

Good.

One less thing the Americans get over the rest of us.

Called this

That's unfortunate. I think mine is good until Feb 2019.

My shit expired like a week ago. Damn back to gamestop elite pro memberships, ah well
---

Yeah well Best Buy killed their entire Rewards program in Canada so

Noooooo. This is shit news.I don't know if I'll have a reason to shop at Best Buy anymore.

Today I just picked up No Man's Sky, South Park Fractured But Whole, and A Way out for 48 bucks total with GCU. That sucks to see it go.

Edit: It's definitely dead too. If you search for Gamer's Club on Best Buy's website you're just re-directed to their general membership page. I went through my order history to try a re-purchase and the option was missing (unlike just about every other product). I searched on Google to find the link for a digital GCU code and was able to find the product page for GCU, but it says it's sold out online. Look's like we (and Best Buy) are fucked.

Yeah I mean I don't know how much money they were losing with GCU but I have to think they're going to lose a lot of games business with this.

Tbqh Amazon's prime membership offers a better deal.... You get 25% off new games but you also have access to prime video, shipping, and deals.

True, and I have Prime. But at least with BB I can have my game by 10am as soon as they open, and not have to wonder when it's going to come if it even comes on the right day

Yeah, but doesn't that only apply to new games...like within two weeks of release? GCU worked on any new game

It's 20%, which inexplicably doesn't apply sometimes, and you have to preorder.

Yeah. I'd wait for games to hit 20 bucks or lower and save a couple of bucks. I'm not in a hurry to play most games these days.

It's only 20% (same as GCU) and it's only for the first two weeks of release.

GCU applied to ALL games and could even stack with sales.

Plus Prime costs like 4 times as much as GCU with the recent price hike lol

It's preorders only. Once the game is released you can't get a discount.

The hell you say!

WHAT THE FUCK? What a shitty way to just get rid of it. Mine just expired on Monday and I was going to Best Buy tomorrow and buy a renewel along with Mario Rabbids. Fuck.

Does 10% even cover the VAT?
