At 16 and 11 months, I just walked into my nearest Gamestop and was told that you had to be 17 to enter the store. Does anyone know if this is a national policy, or just something local to that store?

Probably somebody messing with you. I'd tell you to call their cooperate number:

f you have an issue with a store, please contact the GameStop.com Customer Service Center at 1-800-883-8895. At the menu press 1 to be directed to Store Issues. They will be able to assist you with any issue you may have regarding stores. Hours of operation: Open Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (CST); Saturday - Sunday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (CST) .Gamestop

Your money is still green, regardless of your age. I'm sure they'll listen.

Do they not sell games rated T or E anymore? I think some wiseguy was just pulling your leg.

I work at GameStop and there is no such policy. You should report the offending store.

That's just stupid if you ask me. I understand not letting those under 17 not purchase M rated games, but not letting them into the store is going overboard.

Was it an employee, or just some guy in the store?

I've heard of stores that sell items that minors cannot buy asking that a parent or adult accompany you into that said store if you are under the age of 17, 18 in some stores.

As for Gamestop, that's the most absurd thing I've heard. They were probably messing with you, and all busted out laughing whenever you turned around and walked away.
