Yeah same here. Heck recently I managed to pick up some much needed games for my ps2 collection, not a scratch on them for like 8 bucks.andrat said:

Personally I prefer GAME over GameStop.Daystar Clarion said:
Well, I did. Back when we still had GAME stores here. They went out of business after GameStop moved in.
Now, personally I'm dealing with Deep Silver's support right now, since GameStop failed to supply me with the pre-order bonuses that were supposed to be included in the Dead Island "Special Editon". The game I got wasn't very "special" at all.
Well, I live in Australia, so I do most of my game buying through ozgameshop (.com).
There's some seriously good prices there, too; like Skyrim - $43 on the website with free delivery + cloth map, and $90 on Steam for a digital copy only. Now I'm sounding like a sales pitch.
But anyway, Gamestop does sound pretty bad from what I've heard about it.

Can't you complain to some consumer protection board or does it say they can do it in some contract or something :S I mostly use steam and I almost never pre-order. If I do buy a game from EB-games then it is because I am getting it for PS3 and I will go to another store if they don't have it on the shelves.
I have had a great track record with Game, not sure what's so bad about them. The only problem with them recently is going into their store and seeing the PC Dead Island normal edition costing £40. £40! What happened to the normal PC games costing around £24-£30, just like in every other store? Hell, most PC games are £24 on the Game WEBSITE but not the store. I had the same experience with Gamestation.Daystar Clarion said:
O.T. Thank god Gamestop never made it over the sea to us. I couldn't stand a company as blatantly arrogant as that. Game do slip up occasionally, but they at least have a pretence of honesty.
Mine was 6 days late, I couldn't even get through to their customer service line on the phone and when it finally did arrive the packaging was awful - I bought the Augmented Edition the comic was completely squashed and looked terrible.Daystar Clarion said:
You only need to look at the Game facebook page to see the hundreds of horror stories that are happening right now. I'm hoping it will all blow over by the time my GoW3 Limited Edition Xbox is supposed to arrive (I couldn't find it anywhere else), if not to Amazon I go in future.
I've never had a problem buying from CEX but they aren't the cheapest any more for games, our local Gamestation is. Replay is also worth a look for second hand games
It's odd, I've never had an issue with GameStop personally. The only time I haven't gotten a game I wanted was when they were out of Borderlands and at the time I hadn't looked up the game and then realized it was out that day so I tried to pick up a copy, they were out and got more the next day and gave me a call.
My only complaint is how pricy things tend to stay. I can usually hit up Amazon or Steam and get a better deal some way or another.

Man, Gamestop just doesn't get any love anymore, huh?
Truth be told, The one I go to is great. Then again, about four of my friends work at that store, and they've helped me out numerous times. The one time my 360 red-ringed, one of them traded me that for a refurbished model and put the broken one in the refurbished box, marked it defective and sent it to be re-refurbished. I didn't pay a cent.
So, yeah, I have no opinion one way or the other on Gamestop itself, but at least 4 of it's employees are awesome.

The joys of being friends with the owner of a GameStop. I never get screwed. Infact, even when I didn't preorder Dead Island quick enough to get the limited edition one with the Ripper and Bloodbath Arena, she game me the spare copy they had anyway. :3
Sometimes I really hate the guys at my gamestop, I also work right next to them. But the times I go in there, and have a nice chat make it up as they have yet to royally screw me over...other than making mistakes with selling me the wrong game despite me making sure it was right I just wish they weren't so underpaid so they would actually care.
Maybe it was because it was Gears of War, the brownest game ever made in a sea of brown games?
Jokes aside, yeah, Gamestop is crap. At least here, they consistently put used games up in front of new ones to get a bigger profit.

Yea. I think you?ve been patient enough with them. I?ve only been able to find one Gamestop in the whole NYC area that I can shop at without wanting to leisurely beat the clerk to death with a wiffle ball bat. It?s sad because there?s one about 3 blocks from my house but they are completely useless AND really obnoxious about it.James Cassidy said:
They never robbed me though. THAT you should call the police about. Not 911, just dial the local precinct.
This oh so much. Things are so bad I'm actually going to return my copy of Space Marine when it arrives. Rude and generally shit customer service loses customers. Having said that though, Play.com isn't much better...Daystar Clarion said:
Let me preface this by saying that I realize I am in part to blame here. Should have done my research.
A year or two ago I managed to kick my MMO addiction. Knowing that I'd need an outlet, I finally decided to turn to console gaming. I had a Wii and had played the consoles of my childhood (GameCube, snes, n64, ps1, etc.), but nothing srsbsns. I go into GameStop, explain that I'm interested in a console, have a budget, etc etc. Long story short, I walked out with a refurb black xbox.
I shit you not like a week later the Elite was released. It was almost the exact same price new as what I had purchased.
Now I content myself with trolling GameStop employees, and by trolling I mean I walk into the store and ask them simple questions about games. Usually I get "i don't know" within one or two questions.
