GameStop opening new copies of Deus Ex HR, removing online coupons, and resealing

[Professor S]

People should just buy the game from Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or some other retailer. If people had a pre-purchase, they should exchange it for store credit and never buy from Gamestop again.

I only ask cause I wouldn't really like to continue working for a company that's clearly giving itself a bad name now and in past incidents.

Honestly because it pays well for a job around here. I get 12 dollars an hour for standing around and talking about video games and basically just organizing shelves. Well that isn't all there is to it, but it's nothing complicated or physically strenuous.

It also works really well with my school schedule. I'm always out by 9:30 every night.

Reports now coming in that Gamestop is giving customers $50 gift cards if they purchased Deus Ex for the PC.

Jebus. That must mean they took a noticeable sales blow on top of the PR blow. Right? Then again, who wants a fucking Gamestop giftcard. "Hey look, I can buy 50 dollars of opened shit that has been tampered with!"

I'd still take my business elsewhere.

Actually it's not if they purchased it for the PC, it's only if they pre-ordered it for the PC. The funny thing is even if you cancel your pre-order now you still get the 50 dollar gift card.
