I may do this as well. Only issue is the trophy hunter in me may not like playing a game and then returning it after beating it. (recently started to clear off Trophy lists)
Sad to hear it's delayed. If it's because their computers suck (and they do) are we ever going to get this? Rolling out a new computer program or whatever won't happen over night. Did they even test this shit out?
I'd worry about them being taken period.I just worry about the all the good games (mainly Switch titles) being taken when the six months are up.
God damn, what an insane fuckup. I wonder if their Black Friday ads have already been printed with this offer intact?According to some of the folks over at r/GameStop, stores have been instructed to destroy the ads and even the full size holiday books that mention PowerPass. Doesn't sound like it will be a thing for a long time, if at all.
Well, that's a wrap. We should've known, this program was too good. Super disappointed...According to some of the folks over at r/GameStop, stores have been instructed to destroy the ads and even the full size holiday books that mention PowerPass.

Didn't they have this program for gamestops this past summer (it was 3 months then iirc?) so shouldn't there be something like this in their system?
I think this is a sick deal - if theres no strings attached on keeping your last free game :), but I am sure there is...or else it would be too easy to abuse it no? Unless they are really just looking for customer traffic in their shops.
Maybe they saw the kind of attention the program was getting and expected larger numbers taking advantage of the program than they thought was sustainable, so they bailed out using their computers as an excuse?they actually ran a very similar program a few years back in test markets. it failed miserably and stores brought in less money. block buster did a similar rental system before they went under...
They allow you to return anything within 7 days. You could just try it.
GameStop is going to have to do something with that massive stock of used games they acquired during the two +60% Trade In deals that happened over the summer.
