by Rainier on Nov. 18, 2014 @ 8:35 a.m. PST

GameStop will be hosting its first-ever pre-Black Friday weekend event for parents and gift-givers looking to purchase new or pre-owned video games, accessories or electronic gifts for the gamer this holiday season.

Beginning on November 21 and running through November 23, all U.S. GameStop store locations will be offering various special deals and discounts on select items to allow moms and dads, aunts and uncles, grandparents, or any gift-giver the chance to beat the Black Friday rush during GameStop’s pre-Black Friday Family Weekend. Customers can take advantage of deals on Disney Infinity and Nintendo products, trade in their video game & consumer electronics to receive currency that can be used to purchase holiday gifts, and receive double PowerUp Rewards® points all weekend long when using the GameStop® PowerUp Rewards credit card.

“Holiday shopping can be quite expensive for parents and gift-givers,” said Frank Hamlin, chief marketing officer at GameStop. “To help parents, or any gift-giver stretch their holiday shopping budgets, GameStop is happy to offer a special weekend full of great savings before the Black Friday and Cyber Monday rush.”

Discounts include:

  • $20 off all Disney Infinity Marvel Starter Packs ($54.99, Reg. $74.99)
  • $15 off Disney Infinity 2.0 Edition: Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel’s The Avengers ($24.99, Reg. $39.99)
  • Purchase a new Disney Infinity PS3 bundle to receive a $25 GameStop gift card
  • $50 off Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 ($149.99, Reg. $199.99)
  • $70 off Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 ($199.99, Reg. $269.99)
  • $100 off Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 ($249.99, Reg. $349.99)

In addition to these pre-Black Friday deals, GameStop always has more than 2,500 pre-owned video games under $20.00 and a wide selection of new and pre-owned kid-friendly titles such as Little Big Planet 3, Disney’s Fantasia: Music Evolved and Skylanders Trap Team.

Parents searching for a certain Skylanders or Disney Infinity collector figure are in luck. GameStop is now selling pre-owned Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures at prices that cannot be beat. If a figure is not available in a store, GameStop can locate figures through its Web-in-Store service and have it shipped to any address for free, or pick it up at any GameStop store location at the earliest convenience.

To make the weekend offer even better for Nintendo fans, GameStop will host midnight launch events at more than 2,500 GameStop store locations to celebrate the launch of Super Smash Bros WiiU, Pokemon Omega Ruby, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, and amiibo characters on November 21. Customers can head out to stores on the evening of November 20 where they can participate in various activities in select locations such as tournaments, giveaways, and more.
