May 9 – Rep. Burchett indicates plenty of work on the UAP topic is still going on behind the scenes

As covered in the latest article from the Liberation Times, a spokesman from AARO (the Pentagon's UFO office) stated that the office "has not yet received a report or any information on this incident."

Things to look out for in the near future:

  • According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO's latest report can be expected soon, saying –"I'll probably have another hearing aligned with that public report.”
Beyond/currently unknown
  • Following the UAP hearing on the 26th of July, Members of Congress have called for a select committee with subpoena authority, to “go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon. Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th.
  • Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment"I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]...and if they won't let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building...and the military will have to explain why that is." – Rep. Moskowitz (D)It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna confirmed:"I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing. . We will be announcing details soon."
  • Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future (Example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4)
  • David Grusch has received additional clearances through DOPSR to discuss some of his (alleged) first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs. He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed
  • Some commentators have speculated that the architects of the UAPDA (e.g. Sens. SchumeRounds et al) are working diligently behind the scenes to continue furthering serious legislative UAP transparency efforts

May 9 – Rep. Burchett indicates plenty of work on the UAP topic is still going on behind the scenes

May 11 – AARO confirms it has yet to receive information on ‘Drone’ incursions over Langley Air Force Base
As covered in the latest article from the Liberation Times, a spokesman from AARO (the Pentagon's UFO office) stated that the office "has not yet received a report or any information on this incident."
The incident in question involved mysterious 'drone' swarms that harangued Langley Air Force Base throughout December 2023.
None of the incursions appeared to exhibit hostile intent but anything flying in our restricted airspace can pose a threat to flight safety. The FAA was made aware of the UAS incursions."

Things to look out for in the near future:

May
  • According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO's latest report can be expected soon, saying –"I'll probably have another hearing aligned with that public report.”
Beyond/currently unknown
  • Following the UAP hearing on the 26th of July, Members of Congress have called for a select committee with subpoena authority, to “go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon. Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th.
  • Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment"I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]...and if they won't let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building...and the military will have to explain why that is." – Rep. Moskowitz (D)It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna confirmed:"I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing. . We will be announcing details soon."
  • Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future (Example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4)
  • David Grusch has received additional clearances through DOPSR to discuss some of his (alleged) first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs. He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed
  • Some commentators have speculated that the architects of the UAPDA (e.g. Sens. SchumeRounds et al) are working diligently behind the scenes to continue furthering serious legislative UAP transparency efforts

Is this a tech bee?
I built a blister I got last year and it feels like I'm missing some of the pieces for a tech bee. I don't see a head and the body looks different from the female tech bee.
Is there a way to fix this other than just ordering a new one?

2024.05.03 12:57 Stevie_G_1973 Liverpool FC Women set for new home stadium from 2024-25

LFC Women will play their home games at the St Helens Stadium in Merseyside from the start of 2024-25. The club’s ambition is to also play a number of fixtures at Anfield.
The new home is a huge positive step forward in the progress of the women’s side, with a brand-new, high-performance Premier League-standard pitch being laid, enhanced and exclusive-use player facilities, and an improved matchday experience for supporters.
The stadium will continue to be home and property of St. Helens R.F.C., with its men’s and women’s rugby league teams also benefiting from the pitch upgrade. With the rugby league season running from February through to September, LFC Women will have sole occupancy of the stadium for almost half of the season.
The team will also enjoy having their own bespoke dressing room for the first time, and the red stadium will be revamped for home games to make it look and feel part of the LFC family, including the addition of the club crest and other significant branding.
St Helens Stadium was chosen as part of a wider review of stadium options with the Prenton Park agreement coming to an end this season. The decision was made in consultation with players, staff, fans via the club’s Supporters Board, and fan surveys. LFC Women will play their last home game at Prenton Park against Manchester United this Sunday (May 5).
The new 10-year lease at St Helens demonstrates the club’s long-term commitment to its women’s team and the club’s ongoing desire to provide the players and staff with the best facilities possible, fulfilling the ambitions for LFC Women and supporting its continued growth.
The club was keen to ensure the facilities provided for the women’s team on a matchday are the best possible for the players and also to provide a great experience for its growing supporter base.
This move enables the club to deliver an improved matchday experience, not only around the ground but inside with the covered concourses, so fans can expect to see an enhanced offering – from music, face painting, food and drinks through to kids’ kickabouts and lots more. There will also be an enhanced food and drinks offering for fans, as well as an opportunity to improve the retail provision for match-goers.
The move to St Helens Stadium follows the significant investment in the acquisition and redevelopment of the AXA Melwood Training Centre, making it one of the best women’s training facilities in the Barclays Women’s Super League. There is also continued investment in the squad, backroom and wider infrastructure of the women’s first team and Pro Game Academy.
Susan Black, LFC’s director of communications and Liverpool FC Women executive director, said: “This is another step forward for our women’s first team and we’re so excited to relocate to a new long-term home.
“Our players and incredible supporters were at the forefront of our decision-making process. We are confident St Helens will be a great matchday home and will look and feel part of the Liverpool family.
“We would like to place on record our great thanks to Mark Palios and the wider team at Tranmere Rovers for their great support over six seasons at Prenton Park on a matchday and of course at The Campus.
“As founding members of the Women’s Super League, we want to continue the work we’ve put in place and continue to progress in the league both on and off the pitch.
“Our next chapter for our women’s first team is about building solid foundation stones and today’s matchday venue announcement is another positive step forward on our journey.”
LFC Women manager Matt Beard said: “This is the exciting next chapter on our journey, and I’m absolutely delighted with this investment from the club.
“At the heart of this move are the two most important groups at the club: the players and the fans. The players will have a wonderful new pitch and facilities to enjoy, while the matchday experience for the supporters will be so much improved.
“We’ve built up a loyal following at Prenton Park and we look forward to welcoming them to St Helens along with hopefully opening up the women’s game to many new supporters as well.”
Eamonn McManus, chairman of St. Helens R.F.C., welcomed LFC Women to their home ground, stating: “We are delighted to welcome LFC Women and their supporters to our stadium for their home games starting next season.
“The arrangement will provide St. Helens R.F.C. with a new state-of-the-art pitch, as well as additional income streams for our club.
“Liverpool FC is a world-renowned football club and sporting institution, and LFC Women are a leading participant in the rapidly growing Women’s Super League. It is high-profile recognition that our stadium and its facilities meet the ever-increasing requirements of this prestigious competition.”
David Hutchinson, general manager of St. Helens R.F.C., said: “We are very proud to have secured this partnership with Liverpool FC Women at a time when women’s sport is at a pivotal stage in its growth and development.
“This comes at a time when participation, media exposure and commercial awareness for women’s football and rugby are at an all-time high. Hosting Liverpool FC Women will increase visitors to the stadium and offer up fantastic crossover opportunities for both our sports.
“We are very excited to get things under way and thank everyone involved for their hard work in achieving this.”
All season ticket holders have been informed of the new venue and will be contacted in the coming weeks about renewing for next season. For new enquiries on season tickets for 2024-25, please register your interest here.
LFC Foundation will also be expanding its reach and will look to launch projects specifically for the St Helens area to support girls in sport with more funding for community projects.

2024.05.02 22:53 Then_Marionberry_259 MAY 02, 2024 MP MP MATERIALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

MAY 02, 2024 MP MP MATERIALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
https://preview.redd.it/xh7k56aht2yc1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=181f91711284b62eca310609685dba5f4abde93f
REO production of 11,151 metric tons, the second highest ever
Initial design capacity (1,000 mt) of magnetics facility fully committed
Repurchased 13.0 million shares of common stock, or 7.3% of shares outstanding, for $15.43 per share
Issued $747.5 million of new 3.0% convertible notes due 2030
Repurchased $480.0 million of existing convertible notes due 2026 for $428.6 million
Awarded $58.5 million tax credit to advance U.S. rare earth magnet manufacturing
MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP) (“MP Materials” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
“The MP team continues to execute, delivering the second highest quarterly REO production ever at Mountain Pass,” said James Litinsky, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of MP Materials. “Despite the continued difficult pricing environment, we believe we enhanced MP’s intrinsic value with significant progress across our separations operation, our Upstream 60K expansion, and our magnetics business in Texas.”
Litinsky continued, “Moreover, given our strong balance sheet, we were able to be opportunistic in a substantial way across our capital structure in March. We repurchased the majority of our shorter-dated debt at roughly 89 cents on the dollar, pushed out most of our debt maturities to 2030 at a low coupon and, most importantly, repurchased 7.3% of the Company. We believe methodical execution, both operationally and financially, throughout the cycle will prove to be a powerful source of incremental value creation for our shareholders.”
First Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Highlights
https://preview.redd.it/no90ufcht2yc1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c14ac306df3253c275d459c7675bca23aadd6d5
https://preview.redd.it/t7rnaedht2yc1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=1939a1fc0b04b949ae4137f8620f76efa4452986
Revenue decreased 49% year-over-year to $48.7 million, driven by a 54% decrease in the realized price of rare earth oxide (“REO”) in concentrate and a 9% decrease in REO sales volumes partially offset by initial sales of separated NdPr. The change in realized price reflects a continued softer pricing environment for rare earth products as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in REO sales volume was due to the start-up of separated rare earth (Stage II) production, as a significant portion of the REO produced, which could otherwise have been sold as rare earth concentrate, was used for work-in-process or to produce packaged and finished separated rare earth products. REO production volumes increased 4% year-over-year primarily due to higher uptimes and feed rates.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to $(1.2) million driven mainly by the lower revenue as discussed above, as well as higher cost of sales, personnel and other general and administrative costs. The increase in cost of sales was mostly driven by production costs related to the start of Stage II production, including a $6.0 million reserve which was largely attributable to elevated carrying costs of the initial production of separated products given the early stage of ramping the Stage II facilities to normalized production levels.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) decreased to $(7.5) million, mainly due to the lower Adjusted EBITDA as well as higher depreciation expense resulting from an increase in capital assets placed into service over the last year. Also impacting the comparison was higher interest expense, mainly due to the newly issued 2030 convertible notes, as well as slightly lower interest income. These changes were partially offset by lower income tax expense mainly associated with lower pre-tax income.
Net income decreased $21.0 million year-over-year to $16.5 million, primarily due to the factors driving the lower Adjusted Net Income (Loss) discussed above, partially offset by a $46.3 million gain associated with the early extinguishment of a portion of convertible notes due in 2026.
Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased $0.28 year-over-year to a diluted loss per share of $(0.08), in line with the change in net income discussed above. Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased $0.31 to $(0.04) in line with the decrease in Adjusted Net Income (Loss) discussed above.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release references certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. MP Materials defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss before interest expense, net; income tax expense or benefit; and depreciation, depletion and amortization; further adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; accretion of asset retirement and environmental obligations; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other income or loss. MP Materials defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP net income or loss excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other items that management does not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. MP Materials defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share excluding the per share impact, using adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, of stock-based compensation expense; initial start-up costs; transaction-related and other costs; gain or loss on disposals of long-lived assets; gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt; and other items that management does not consider representative of our underlying operations; adjusted to give effect to the income tax impact of such adjustments. In addition, when appropriate, we include an adjustment to reverse the impact of applying the if-converted method to our 2026 Notes if necessary to reconcile between GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share and Adjusted Diluted EPS. When applicable, adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding reflect the anti-dilutive impact of our capped call options entered into in connection with the issuance of our 3.00% unsecured senior convertible notes due March 2030.
MP Materials’ management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS to compare MP Materials’ performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. MP Materials believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to MP Materials’ financial condition and results of operations. MP Materials’ management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted EPS provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends. MP Materials’ method of determining these non-GAAP measures may be different from other companies’ methods and, therefore, may not be comparable to those used by other companies and MP Materials does not recommend the sole use of these non-GAAP measures to assess its financial performance. Management does not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative or to be superior to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in MP Materials’ financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Key Performance Indicators
REO Production Volume is measured in MTs, the Company’s principal unit of sale for its concentrate product. This measure refers to the REO content contained in the rare earth concentrate we produce and, beginning in the second quarter of 2023, includes volumes fed into downstream circuits for commissioning and starting up our separations facilities and for producing separated rare earth products, a portion of which is also included in our KPI, NdPr Production Volume. REO Production Volume is a key indicator of the Company’s mining and concentrate processing capacity and efficiency.
REO Sales Volume for a given period is calculated in MTs. A unit, or MT, is considered sold once we recognize revenue on its sale as determined in accordance with GAAP. REO Sales Volume is a key measure of the Company’s ability to convert its concentrate production into revenue.
Realized Price per REO MT for a given period is calculated as the quotient of: (i) the Company’s rare earth concentrate sales, which is determined in accordance with GAAP, for a given period and (ii) the Company’s REO Sales Volume for the same period. Realized Price per REO MT is an important measure of the market price of the Company’s concentrate product.
NdPr Production Volume is measured in MTs, the Company’s principal unit of sale for its NdPr separated products. NdPr Production Volume refers to the volume of finished and packaged NdPr oxide produced at Mountain Pass for a given period. NdPr Production Volume is a key indicator of the Company’s separations and finishing capacity and efficiency.
Our NdPr Sales Volume for a given period is calculated in MTs and on an NdPr oxide-equivalent basis (as further discussed below). A unit, or MT, is considered sold once we recognize revenue on its sale, whether sold as NdPr oxide or NdPr metal, as determined in accordance with GAAP. For NdPr metal sales, the MTs sold and included in NdPr Sales Volume are calculated on the basis of the volume of NdPr oxide used to produce such NdPr metal. We utilize an assumed material conversion ratio of 1.20, such that a sale of 100 MTs of NdPr metal would be included in this KPI as 120 MTs of NdPr oxide-equivalent. NdPr Sales Volume is a key measure of our ability to convert our production of separated NdPr products into revenue. We expect to have a mix of contracts with customers where we will sell NdPr as (i) oxide, (ii) metal, where the amount of oxide required to produce such metal is variable, and (iii) metal, where we have a guarantee of the amount produced and sold based on the amount of oxide consumed. Among other factors, differences between quarterly NdPr Production Volume and NdPr Sales Volume may be caused by the time required for the conversion of NdPr oxide to NdPr metal, including time in-transit.
NdPr Realized Price per kilogram (“KG”) for a given period is calculated as the quotient of: (i) our NdPr oxide and metal sales, which are determined in accordance with GAAP, for a given period and (ii) our NdPr Sales Volume for the same period. NdPr Realized Price per KG is an important measure of the market price of our NdPr products.

2024.05.01 03:05 Spaceley_Murderpaws Cool & Neutral-Toned Lip Color List

Cool & Neutral Lipsticks
I have very fair skin with cool undertones & finding cool-toned lipsticks has been a PIA for 35+ years... mainly because cosmetic companies don't often tell us what the undertones are. Maybe so we buy shades that don't work & try again? Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lipstick was the breaking point in my lifelong lipstick battle/journey because it is not a neutral. It just isn't a lip color everyone can wear. Now I'm on a quest to find as many cool toned lipsticks that I love and that don't turn me yellow. 💄 💋 💫
I've also noticed a shocking number of shades recommended in the last year have been discontinued since I'd only expected a few, so perhaps cool tones don't sell as much? (I checked current availability for the shades below.)
The following are lip products I've seen recommended here or mentioned in articles and reviews as specifically having cool or true neutral undertones... however I haven't tried or swatched most of them, so think of this list as a starting point. The retailers listed are just where I found them fastest. The list is based on prices $ to $$.
If you have comments about any that you think don't belong here or that have been reformulated in warmer tones, please share! Also, new shade suggestions would be appreciated.💄💄💄
Note- I've seen a lot of recommendations for MAC's Syrup & Mehr lipsticks, so I've listed less expensive potential dupes for them below the main list.

2024.04.25 19:34 8----B Is the Future in Digital Games Only Or Will Physical Discs Have a Place? Frankly, it Doesn’t Matter. GameStop is Uniquely Positioned to Lead Sales in Either Scenario With Pro Membership Being a Profitable Purchase for 99% of Gamers Regardless of Console

I’ve been accused of liking to hear myself talk and there’s probably truth to the claim. If you want to skip the preamble/context and get right to the meat, skip straight to PART TWO: THE DIGITAL STORE.
PART ONE: INTRODUCTION
After his much-welcomed takeover, Chairman Ryan Cohen said to judge GameStop by their actions and not by their words. Since then, forward guidance has been cut and a few strategies have been tried.
The NFT marketplace made GameStop $150 million in IMX tokens from Immutable X for hitting the first two milestones of the agreed partnership deal which were immediately sold for USDC, sent to Coinbase, and dumped into the war chest. But still, it wasn’t the long-term revenue maker many of the shareholders hoped for.
Two warehouses totaling over 2-million square feet were raised and fell as Amazon-VP-turned-CEO Matt Furlong tried to build GameStop in the image of the last company he helped build for Jeff Bezos, but it was too much expansion and too expensive for the chairman’s tastes. GameStop kept the DoorDash deal where their 4,169 stores continue to be used as mini-warehouses for same-day deliveries without having to build an expensive shipping network, but again, shareholders didn’t get the long-term revenue maker they wanted.
Over 450 executives were poached from top tech companies and the vast majority were fired as the rapid expansion attempt bore poor fruit in the form of heavy EPS loss. Chairman Cohen became CEO Cohen and returned to the roots of his activist investing philosophy with GameStop: the letter he drafted and sent to the Board of Directors before the sneeze brought in a sea of cash for his pirated ship to explore and test.
Processing img ca0xj5v6ynwc1...
He kept it simple. Kill the problem stores, cut the unprofitable costs, and stop spending money until the company makes money. With most of Q2 and all of Q3 and Q4 under Cohen’s CEO role, 2023 proved to be the first year of profit.
But cutting costs doesn’t mean new paths to revenue aren’t being explored.
As of now, there are three new revenue strategies I can see being undertaken by GameStop. By watching their actions, the plans are laid out bare. I think of them as GameStop’s trident. All three are loosely related and in their infancy stage. Like the prongs of a trident, they can do the job on their own, but the success of one benefits the other two. It remains to be seen whether or not any or all will be the long-term revenue maker that shareholders want.
One of the three strategies, the central prong of the trident, is the newly revamped GameStop Pro membership. That’s the one this post is about.
Before the revamp, GameStop Pro was a paid loyalty program. An annual fee of $15 in exchange for a rewards system that gave in-store credit for the next purchase. A way to get the customer to return and make a walk-in window-shopper more sticky.
Now it’s a membership.
https://preview.redd.it/zedvpysaynwc1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a41f06a3102940173f624984f8b123edc2dfed77
Rather than serve merely as incentive to get customers to come back and use the rewards they accumulated on previous visits, Pro does that plus immediate benefits. Most notably, in the form of the cheapest possible games, both digital and physical, for the vast majority of gamers.
The annual fee has raised from $15 to $25, but the value per dollar has gone from good to great. It’s most noticeable in GameStop’s core business: Games.
PART TWO: THE DIGITAL STORE
GameStop Pro members get 5% off every purchase in the digital store.
In addition, 5,000 points are stored when Pro is purchased or renewed and 2% of every purchase is returned as further points which can be used as in-store or online credit (importantly, while digital store purchases reward points, the points can not be used on digital store items). Each month, a single $5 coupon is given to Pro members (again, not usable for digital store items).
With the cost of Pro being $25 a year, a customer would have to purchase $500 in the digital store to recoup the membership fee. That’s 7 brand new games a year to break even.
Assuming a single physical item is desired by the member (from batteries to gaming accessories to clothing), the instant $10 off (5,000 welcome points + one $5 off coupon) brings it a total of $300 spent a year to recoup the membership fee. That’s 4 brand new games a year to break even.
Assuming the member wants a mouse pad, a charging cable, a controller, and a water bottle at various points throughout the year, that’s $25 saved off the already competitive prices at GameStop (5,000 welcome points + 4 of the 12 coupons) and the Pro membership has already paid for itself. At this point, digital games are simply 5% cheaper than anywhere else.
And the whole time you’re saving on digital games, you’re getting Pro points to discount your next physical product. I don’t want to get too deep on the other new strategies being done by GameStop, but a private label of high quality, low price accessories is one of them. With 5% off (a Pro benefit) and by using stored points, these already great deals become outstanding.
The only membership that offers cheaper games is Humble Bundle, with a 10% discount on PC and Switch games. However, HB costs $120 a year. Even someone who plays on one of the two systems offered by them would almost certainly not benefit from HB over GS Pro as you would need to purchase 28 $70 games a year to break even on the HB membership compared to Pro.
HB: (28 x $70) = $1,960 (spending) x 0.10 (discount) = $196 (saved) - $120 (annual fee) = $76 in savings.
GS Pro: (28 x $70) = $1,960 (spending) x 0.05 (discount) = $98 (saved) - $25 (annual fee) = $73 in savings.
That’s not including the various benefits GS Pro offers or the fact that GS sells a wider selection of games.
If you use Game Pass on Xbox and don’t buy games, you can still save
If you play PlayStation and can’t download digital games outside Sony’s ecosystem, you can still save
If you prefer Steam to native game launchers, you can still save
PART THREE: PHYSICAL GAMES
While digital downloads have gained market share over the years compared to physical discs, physical games still represent about 20% of games sold and the 20% who still buy this way tend to feel strongly about it. This ratio was struck in the pandemic which quickly accelerated the decrease of discs and it hasn’t really moved since then.
Even if it stayed here forever, GameStop’s unique business model relating to physical games keeps it as a great value.
With 5% off the already lower pre-owned game prices and 10% extra trade-in credit, GameStop Pro allows a member to use the company as a video game rental service. The 5% discount turns to 15% during any of the four Pro weeks a year and GameStop has recently run a few trade-in specials where you get up to 150% of the normal value. The $5 monthly coupons do apply to all physical games as well, so its another $5 off the top on the initial purchase. Buy a game for cheaper, beat it, then sell it back for more. That’s a service only GameStop Pro can offer.
If you’d rather keep a collection of physical discs as a library as many gamers do, you can always do that too while keeping the $5 discount and 2% point rewards for cheaper games than competitors.
You can even store them in GameStop’s private label storage towers.
TL;DR: GameStop Pro is uniquely positioned to create savings for the average gamer, regardless of their console and regardless of their preference for digital or physical media, without changing any of their habits. Pro’s revamp is one of the three new monetary strategies GameStop is taking under Cohen and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for the advertising to re-start.
