Sometimes. Most of the times I see stupid good bargains (BF:BC for 10$?!) and whip out a 20 and my ID.
What do you think of Gamestop's selection?

They can have a couple dozen good console games, but if you go in looking for a disk copy of Mass Effect PC, you're shit outta luck.
My gamestop has at least 70-80 different titles for each main system, except pc but that's what steam is for. I always buy from gamestop if I buy new (which is all the time since 90% of my purchases are actually pre-orders).
Short of trying to get one of the latest MMOs or PC version of shooters, I'd never try to get PC games there. That's always an online buy for me.Soviet Heavy said:
Their trade-in deals I always love, especially when I get really good deals for something silly. Liiike...I put 5 down on BF3 and got an extra 40%. It's really nice.zombiesinc said:
Also, awesome avi. FLCL ftw.
With tongue firmly in cheek, I must say that you should have pre-ordered it.mireko said:
That is, if that's possible in Norway(?).
Perhaps it's because I live in the middle of the USA, but i haven't had any problems with the selection at my local stores (there are five within a reasonable distance from me and seven more if I want to take a drive).
I love my gamestop its employees are actual gamers instead of just people looking for a job and they are actually willing to help you out or give you a break if they can.
They usually have a pretty good selection where I live. I picked up Okami on PS2 there a while ago. Just a few days ago, I got Fallout 3: GOTY Edition and Fallout: New Vegas pre-owned for $40 total. No scratches on either game, boxes in mint condition... a sweet deal.
They usually have what I'm looking for, and offer a pretty great deal with it. And the preorder bonuses, while occasionally a little trite, are pretty awesome. And if they don't have it, well, just check back later, or hit up Amazon. Plus, the interconnectivity between the stores, where they can tell you if one of the other locations in the city has what you're looking for is really handy.
I expletively love your avatar.zombiesinc said:
Yeah ok, everything about Gamestop is great except for when you're trading games. They rip off the prices and (of course in Winnipeg only) you're only allowed to trade in 1 game towards 1 game, not 15 games towards 1 game. So for me Gamestop sucks unless I go to a different city.
Was there not some guy who blew the whistle on Gamestop's business practices? Zero Originality was the series title, mostly because the art is based off of Zero Punctuation.
Can't say I know about it. What were their main complaint points?vietfighter said:
Ouch. That's just awful. I can't complain about that here. They let you gather as much store credit as you want, and considering I just got $37 for Black Ops when MW3 is due later this year(Of which I have no intention of getting), I'd say I got a pretty good deal.InfectedStar said:
They still sell games in physical stores? Wow. Where have I been? Oh, that's right, using the Internets to save a lot of money by getting everything from whoever's willing to sell it to me cheapest. The last time I accidentally wandered into a Gamestop, their selection seemed a bit inferior to the Internet's, too. Heh.
Ther ok a lot of the used games are popular titles but occasionally they have something good, now my local used game store while usually lacking any current games has a great selection of the older stuff and quite a few of the harder to find games. Still wondering what the local movie rental places did with all their Nes and Ps1 games mab they had some great games I would have bought.
Absolutly terrible, all they sell is the top 10 games.
Quick question why do you have to fill 3 shelves with the same game case? And also their pc selection has been getting worse and worse.
Last week, and this is no joke, all the local gamestop had in it's PC section was WoW + expansions, The Sims + expansions and football manager 2011.
Staff in every gamestop i've ever been in have been dicks too.

The times I had to go in there, mostly to pick up a WoW time-card when I still still playing World of Warcraft, I tried browsing their game sections and found their PC game section to be slightly non-existent. Well, outside of Blizzard games and what ever flavor of the week MMO was coming out.
Since I prefer PC over consoles, this was a problem for me.
It was kind of sad that they had more shelf space dedicated to old, used Gamecubes and used games for them than they did for current PC games.

Yea, Gamestop is hands down one of the worst places to rely on for a PC gamer. I assume they just don't like getting too involved in that area due to their trade-in program. It doesn't work with PC games.Caffeine Rage said:
