Bad News: You're Not Getting That Retro Lancer

Remember back when Gears of War 3 shipped? Oh sure you do- it was just a few months ago. Okay- remember that sweet Retro Lancer that you pre-ordered from Gamestop as a special tie-in? Yeah, that one!

Awesome, right? You're not getting it. Ever.

Gamestop Coupon of the Week

Not bad...

You get an extra 30% trade in value on any Wii game you bring in. That's not bad at all seeing as it was just the holidays and I'm sure some of you got a few Wii clunkers you're wanting to get rid of.

Gamestop is returning your money! No really...

If you're looking for a little extra dough to spend on yourself this holiday season, you might want to check out this website.

What you'll find is a form to fill out that will get you back any unused deposits that you might have left on games that you neglected to pick up in the form of a printable giftcard. The idea is that Gamestop is supposed to call you (Ms. Computer-voice that is) to let you know that you have these unused deposits and that you should head over to the site linked above.

With that said, I would encourage anyone who has preordered regularly at Gamestop to try their luck with the form even if you didn't get a phone call. In my own experience, I had to use a cell phone number that I don't have any more to get my cash back- it was a great surprise too- turned out to be $20.00!
