I have a butt load of store credit at gamestop. Its just built up over time, mostly because ive been slowly trading my 360 games. Im using my PS3 more, and im buying all my multi-platform games for the PS3 now.

Anyways I have a lot of store credit and really dont know what to do with it. Games i am keeping my eyes on are Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, and BiA: Hells Highway

You shouldn't ever sell them games, my mom gets $10 for crappy ds games on ebay, when gamestop only gives about $1. Just buy games I guess, save at least $120 for later. Get your little brother a game, if you have one.

Buy what you want you have 200 bucks.The way I see things is this.Don't pre-order any of the new games unless your really,REALLy want them.When I have a ton a of store credit I just buy games that are cheap that I have never played.That way I am playing new games and I am getting more for my money.All you have to do is remember this.At one point those 60 dollar games will be 30-40 bucks.You just need to have the patience.So buy some of the older PS3 titles that you wanted to play and then maybe save some of the store credit for another time.But in the end it is up to you.

I say look at your wish list, get 2 brand new games, such as Fable 2 and Gear of War 2 that you said you wanted, then with the leftover money buy a few used games. You can find some pretty decent used games at gamestop for cheap believe it or not, just browse around and buy some games you've always wanted to play in the past but never had, and get those along with 2 brand new games like I said earlier.

Or you could actually use gamestop as a sort of rental service. Go get some used game, play it for 5 days and then return it and get full price back. I believe you have to return it in 7 days. So just do this for any game you feel like playing and you're good to go. Just don't forget to return the game.

put some of that towards one or two of the new releases coming out and pick up a couple older titles that you might have had your eye on? and save some for a later date when something else good comes out that you might not have enough money for?

I'd recommend Hells Highway now that its out. I own it and the campaign is quite addicting, if you've played previous BIA games then you know what you're getting. If you've never played the series, then I suggest downloading the demo first as its not your typical run & gun FPS. Also Gears 2 will be a no brainer.

...why the hate? I have found some real gems at Gamestop, although I feel their pre-order service is kinda broken.

I think you should just decide for yourself. For one thing we can't recommend games that hasn't come out yet. So you're in the same boat as everyone else.

ask if you can buy all the cardboard cutouts and empty Wii and PS3 boxes on display.
