I hate gamestop they are a ripoff when it comes to buying new games. I have saved about $50 buying new games on amazon just shopping for games in the holiday season. best of all i dont have to pay taxes on amazon! Gamestop also has horrible trade in prices as well
You suck. I hate you.
But that doesn't mean I don't agree with you.
Gamestop sucks the big one, mainly for their shady practice of selling un-shrinkwrapped games as "new". It's complete BS. They will take a brand new and sealed game, open it, take the disc out, put the case on the shelf, and sell it as new.
Another shady tactic is how they will only have "one" copy of a game left, which of course is also not wrapped and the game disc is behind the counter. Once they sell that game, they will open up another new copy and do the same thing all over again. I once called 4 different game stops to see if I could buy a copy of Patapon 3 for PS3. Each one gave the EXACT same story.
Me: "hi, do you have any new copies of Patapon 3?"
GS: "oh yeah, we do."
Me: "is it shrink wrapped?"
GS: "no, it's opened"
Me: "Do you have any sealed copies?"
GS: "no, sorry, we only have that one copy"
Me: "Ok ok, nvm then. Thanks anyways"
Repeat same convo 3 more times at 3 other Gamestops.
Also, one last shady thing is that they let their employees take home those game discs that they pulled from brand new sealed copies and "test" them out. After all that, they still sell them at the "new" price.
Gamestop is bullshit.
