Q. What is a Score Membership? Why in the world would I pay $29.99 plus tax for this, or even the $199/year to get the discounted rate, in this economy?
A. A Score Membership entitles its owner to:
- earn double ScorePoints on everything
- pre-order new video games at wholesale prices
- play games in-store for half price
- rent games for half price (25% cheaper than Blockbuster even without membership)
- trade in used games and systems for 10% extra trade in credit (we already guarantee to beat GameStop on any trade ins)
- half price on tournaments and discounts on leagues and the popular Game of the Month Club
- reserve space at The Score ahead of time - know you'll have a place to play during peak periods
Some Score Members have memberships here just to take advantage of one or two of these benefits alone.
Q. What is an example of a Score Membership paying for itself?
A customer trades in Mario Kart Wii (with Wii wheel) and receives $27, roughly 20% more than GameStop is currently giving in trade-in credit. If that customer is a Score Member, they will get $30 in credit for the trade. The Score Member has already saved $8 with one single transaction.
The Score Member then pre-orders Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, locking in the wholesale rate when the game releases in November. Another $7 saved, pre-tax.
Then, the Score Member decides "hey, why don't I sign up for the big Memorial Day Halo Tournament!" This costs $9.99 but members get into tournaments for half price. Another $5 saved...up to $20 saved so far.
Renting a couple games or playing a couple of hours at The Score over the rest of the month could take you the rest of the way, or perhaps just buying one game...and that isn't even accounting for the double ScorePoints earned, which add significant extra value to the actual upfront dollars saved.
Q. Is there any application fee to sign up?
A. Yes, there's a $5 one-time fee to sign up for a membership, which is about to go up in June, but by using a trial membership card (or by having a membership already) you'll avoid that fee as long as your membership doesn't lapse for more than 30 days.
Q. This is too good to be true!
A. That's not a question...but we know.

Debriefing "Teh Wurst Advertizing EVAR"
A variety of Williamson County families will get a postcard from The Score this week. This postcard is definitely not your regular ad!
Titled "Teh Wurst AdVertizing EVAR," this postcard was created by The Score to show we don't take ourselves too seriously. Or perhaps seriously at all! :)
A lot of people by now have discovered our superior trade-in values for used games and systems, and better prices for new and used games over other area retailers. And even more people have discovered The Arena, whether through a birthday party, group event, or just coming in and playing.
But there's no reason every single person in Williamson County shouldn't know The Score. And that's where this latest ad comes in.
Underneath the humor of the poorly-written, thrown-together postcard ad is a coupon for a two-week trial membership to The Score. If someone adds their GameStop 'Edge' card or Game Crazy 'MVP' card, and gives it to us along with their postcard, this 2-week trial membership turns into a full month (valued at $29.99 plus tax).
What can you do with a Score Membership again?
- 10% additional trade-in value on The Score's already better trade-in offers on used video game software and hardware
- Double ScorePoints earned
- Play games at The Score for half price
- Rent games at The Score for half price
- Big discounts on Score tournaments and leagues
- Pre-order new games at The Score for wholesale prices (generally $5-$10 less than regular retail price)
- Reserve space at The Score of Cool Springs ahead of time! Make sure you have a place to play when you want to game.
So, needless to say, the value is there. Make sure you don't miss your postcard this week, and bring it in BEFORE MAY 24 to claim your free trial membership at The Score!

Membership at The Score: Gaming's Secret Weapon
As more of our customers explore our monthly and annual membership options, seemed like a good opportunity to blog about the value that a Score Membership provides.
For $29.99 a month, or $199.99 a year, you get:
- Double ScorePoints(TM) when you play games, trade-in or buy games, have parties at The Score, or even for making good grades!
- Half price on in-store gaming, even in The Arena(TM)!
- Half price on video game rentals from The Score (typically $6 for 5 days, you can rent games for just $3 for 5 days! Compared to $8 for 5 days at Blockbuster.)
- Pre-order video games at wholesale prices through The Score!
- 10% extra trade-in credit when you trade in used games and systems!
- Make reservations at The Score for in-store gaming. (Feature only available for members...helps ensure you don't show up wanting to play and not have space!)
It's quite possible to fully return your membership investment with just one of these features, but with all of them combined? It's gaming's secret weapon.

Thoughts from MTAC...
The Score was present and accounted for at MTAC this past weekend at the Music City Sheraton, running tournaments and selling (a lot of) games.
Very well run event, especially considering its size (between 4,000 and 5,000 attendees). I was impressed with the operations - everything seemed to flow pretty smoothly and a lot of potential problems had been thought of and dealt with well ahead of time.
We got to introduce a lot of new Nashvillians to The Score throughout the weekend, which was probably the most important part.
All in all, a great time! Looking forward to heading back out there next year.

The Day After...a post-mortem on The Score's April Fool's Day press releases
The responses from yesterday's April Fool's press releases was great! Thanks for the emails - some of you are much funnier than we are.
We're big fans of Tim McGraw's down here at The Score, so he was a natural fit for our Guitar Hero release. There are plenty of 'inside' references to his music within the press release, and we even decided to have the game's fictitious release date be the first of May - his birthday.
Lots of you enjoyed this one.
The enthusiasm was strong, but not as strong, for the GameSlop buying simulator. We understand why - any reminder of spending big, huge piles of money at another retailer, completely unnecessarily, is painful!
In all seriousness, we're glad our little jokes were enjoyed by our customers and our potential customers out there in Nashville and Franklin. Look for us to raise the bar next year with something equally as forced, and not nearly as funny!
Until next time...signing off so we can go run the video game tournaments at MTAC, as well as get ready for this weekend's birthday parties and special groups coming in. Later.

Guitar Hero: Tim McGraw and the GameSlop Buying Simulator
Click on the graphics on the front of TheScoreOnline.com for today's huge reports.
Guitar Hero: Tim McGraw is the first Score exclusive title, meaning that the only place it will be released in the entire world is The Score of Cool Springs. Amazing!
Burning Big Huge Piles of Money, which is the new GameSlop buying simulator that lets you re-live experiences buying video games somewhere else other than The Score, is also scheduled for release. Predictably, The Score will carry this game cheaper than everywhere else, just like most other titles!
Wow! Two amazing stories on the first of April!

Gamers from across the greater metropolitan Nashville area will have the opportunity to try out for eight positions on “Nashville’s Halo 3 Team” (along with slots for two alternates) on Thursday, April 2, from 6 PM to 9 PM Central. Gamers will participate in both individual and team competitions in an effort to determine the top Halo players in the city.

COD4 and Halo Wars Leagues - UPDATE
Due to some confusion over these leagues, we are delaying the start of both leagues for one week so we can get more people signed up.
Allow us to answer some concerns about these leagues:
Are these national leagues? Is this like the previous Gears of War 2 and Halo 3 Leagues?
No. These are local, Nashville leagues that The Score of Cool Springs operates. We run the leagues and we give the prizes, which are in-store credit for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
So how does this work exactly?
Get a partner, or we'll match you with one, and compete as a two-person team against other two-person teams in Nashville. You'll have one match a week as you try to amass the best record you can and get into the playoffs for your league.
Each league has a West and East division (which we assign) as well as a Regular Season MVP, voted on by every player in the league as well as Score staff. Good times!
What if there's a great team in the league that we know we can't beat?
Just like in sports, all that matters is getting into the playoffs. Then, anything can happen! (Ask the Titans.)
Really, it's all about having fun and being part of a group. This isn't MLG. This is for everyone.
I don't have $29.99 to be in the league.
Then bring any used Xbox 360 game (just not any sports game) and get into either the Halo Wars or Call of Duty 4 League for just $6.
But I want to be in both leagues, not just one.
Then bring 2 used Xbox 360 games and get into both leagues for $6 each. Or, better yet, bring 3 used Xbox 360 games and get into both leagues FOR FREE.
Will I get ScorePoints for being in these leagues?
Definitely. You'll get 2 ScorePoints for each win, and 1 ScorePoint for each loss, that you accumulate during the leagues.
When are these leagues again?
Call of Duty League is each Monday in March and April, while the Halo Wars League is each Tuesday in March and April. Both begin next week.
What if I'm busy on those days?
We will be flexible in scheduling matches for each week, even using Sunday afternoons for matches as necessary to accommodate busy spring schedules.
What if the leagues don't get more people in them than they have now?
We'll cancel them and try again to do local gaming leagues as we get closer to the summer.
When is the deadline to sign up?
Sunday, March 15, by 4 PM Central. You have to sign up in-store at The Score of Cool Springs - it can't be done online.
Is there really any excuse not to be part of these leagues?
No! :) They're great fun and allow you to meet other gamers who like COD4 and Halo Wars, as well as compete for great prizes!
Email us with any other questions, and hope to see you in one or both of the Spring leagues at The Score!
