Gamestop - A new low?
![]() The spore creature creator. 2...TWO Wii, 360, or PS3 games to get it free. What the fuck?! The thing costs $10! Not $40! |
Re: Gamestop - A new low?
For gamestop's sake, I'm going to assume they mean they'll throw that in for free in addition to the store credit they'd give you...

Re: Gamestop - A new low?
I'm glad I've never shopped at that scheming cesspool of deceit.
The mere fact that they only accept cash is disgusting enough for me to turn away. |
Re: Gamestop - A new low?
Wait...what? I always am able to use my Debit/Credit card if I get something there.

Re: Gamestop - A new low?
I see Gamestop hate doesn't end at GAF, you guys hate this place too huh?
I don't get it, use the place to your advantage. Trade in games when you can get nice bonuses like I did today, $10 more when you trade in 2 games. I made money off of the 2 games I bought from there because when I buy games I use all the coupons that are all over the place along with my Edge card. I never buy things for full price there, any used game that is marked for $55 I always end up getting it for roughly $45. Gamestop is pretty awesome, nuff said. |

But trade-in values at gamestop are generally at least $10 less than what you could get online, and prices of used games are generally $10 higher than what you could get them for online... There's a copy of GTAIV for 360 selling for $38 on half.com from a seller with 100% positive feedback... "Complete and in perfect condition! Played through once by one adult owner. Non-smoking house."... At gamestop it'll probably have scratches, be plastered in stickers, not be guaranteed to come with manual and map, and still cost $55... Halo 3 is $15 cheaper, Mass Effect is $10 cheaper, and those savings right there pay for a copy of Bioshock, which comes in at $25 ($10 cheaper than gamestop)... |

eBay > GameStop

Re: Gamestop - A new low?
Nobody better talk bad about Aladufia (Yeah Gamestop is his second home)
Personally, I don't mind the store. Especially when they have something like the Gamer's Day going on. |

I sold Smallville Season 4 to a Canadian. And the package came back because they couldn't find his house or something. And I tried contacting him but never got a response. So pocketing his money was the only thing I could do. :(

GameStop is evil. I've worked for one.
Their sales tactics are the worst, too. It goes something like this: Sunday: Raise the price on 20'ish games by $10. Monday: Hey guys, we've got these games for $10 off! |
Re: Gamestop - A new low?
In my supermarket a discount was once more expensive than normally. It took days before one customer found out and told us.

A "sale" like that might hoodwink an irregular customer, but as I am generally aware of the price progressions on the games I have interest in, I notice and realize when the ups and downs occur. So I do not get jipped. Simply, a store like GameStop can run promotions that make them money at your expense. They also run promotions which can be used to your benefit, if you only pay attention. The Edge Card offers ten percent off used items. Combined with the everlasting ten percent off used purchases coupon, and on top of the five dollar reduction from buying used in the first place, you have twenty to twenty-five percent off what you would have bought elsewhere. That kind of saving is worth grappling with them for. Unless you don't care to save money, or are ethically opposed to buying used videogames. That is your business. |

Renwood, just out of curiosity, how the heck did you manage to get 566 posts in 1,5 months?!

Re: Gamestop - A new low?
You know those thoughts you have but don't voice out of a sense of decorum?
I post those. |
Re: Gamestop - A new low?
I sometimes type a huge post, put everything I want to say about the subject in it, and just don't feel like posting it. I'm the polar opposite of you.
