In honor of this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), world’s premier trade show for brand-new innovative computer, video games and technologies, GameStop is offering customers with a variety of special discounts, promotions and trade-in savings.
This year’s E3 is bringing virtual reality to the playing world and has introduced a line of trending titles that gamers are anxious to get their hands on titles including Super Smash Brothers, Assassins Creed Lego Batman, Halo 5, Battlefield Hardline, Alien Isolation, and more. In all 6,600 stores worldwide, GameStop is allowing customers to pre-order their favorite anticipated E3 games. “We are excited to be working closely with our partners to bring these new innovative gaming products to our consumers with great bonuses through our reservation program,” says Tony Bartel, president of GameStop.
GameStop will please customers even more with the added bonus of trade-in value for trades toward the newly announced E3 games, enabling customers to pre-order even more titles through the buy-sell trade service.
