I don't understand all the Gamestop love cropping up on the internet lately.
I suppose if your local one isn't staffed buy douche-bags more is the better, but I've yet to actually experience one.

That is fucking disgusting. That has to be against the law, false advertising or something. When I buy something new, I expect it to be new. Anything else makes them liars.
I know, its fucking terrible.

They do tons of other shit like that all the time.

Like this one time, I was talking to a guy who was telling me about how when the PS3s and Wiis first came out and how hard it was to get one, the reason for that is because managers can hold anything they want in the store.

So if you have, say, 3 Wiis in stock for the rest of the week and some ***** manager decides to hold all 3 of them (this is actually what he told me) for herself, her husband and her son, they're out until they get more in, but he said that went on for months after the launch. Every week she'd hold them for someone else and lockdown the only one's the had in stock.

So, that's why it was so difficult to get a wii or PS3 when they first came out because managers would hold every last system.

Mine only sucks because my ex-girlfriend works there, who went and slept with her best mate the night we broke up. Grrr. Rage.

Other than that it's a pretty cool store.

That too is disgusting. I don't understand how Gamestop is still a reputable business. I guess they make their money by ripping off people who don't know any better, like mothers buying games for their children.

As much as I hate them, I still shop there, because it's the only place I know of that sells games from anything but the current gen. If this wasn't the case, I'd have boycotted them a long time ago.
Same here. They've driven out all the local game stores that I used to love.

Mine is fucking awesome, I only live 1 and a half miles from it. The manager there fucking loves me so I get a special discount (yes I am bragging) plus my edge card. So I have nothing bad to say about my GameStop.

Oh and I have never played a MGS game so I wouldn't know. All I know is that the cut scenes are really long and some of my friends consider MGS 4 a movie.

The Gamestop that's by my house is fine. The people are nice and friendly, I get good deals on the games, they have the games I want, and they follow the laws.

Mine is pretty good just because I like the people who work there, but they don't carry any games before PS2, they have bullshit prices on games and they don't give you shit for trading in games.

I just traded in a brand new Darksiders and got 26 dollars for it.

And about tips, I don't know. Its pretty self explanitory. Prepare for a great fucking game.
I think it depends on what Gamestop you go to. I traded in my Darksiders and got 45$ back.

I know I got lucky and got one of the kind managers...
I had bought a game and my xbox got moved while it was on so the reader head scratched the crap out of the disc..
But the guy replaced it for me.

THe people who work at most of the gamestops around here are pretty cool.
I mostly use them for new games only though, since there's a bad ass local game store that stocks every generation, and a new, or atleast relatively, copy of Silent Hill 2 there cost me $7, while a used at Gamestop cost $14. Once in a blue moon a PS2 game might cost a bit more, but for Christ's sake, atleast they always have the covers and instruction booklets. My big thing on buying used games.

Ty, but then again, read my earlier post.

The GameStop that I go to has a manager that fucking loves me. I am just pissing you off more aren't I?

Darksiders just friggin came out though. You paid $60 for it. Here, I could get 100% completion in the game, and trade it in at a store called Entertainmart a month after release for $45. Whereas by then, I guarantee Gamestop will be paying a maximum of $30 for it. THey are greedy, cheap bastards with a rather poor selection of older games.
Actually, the GameStop I go to lowered it's prices, so now new games are 55$ - my edge card - my "my manager loves me" discount= 50$
