Gamestop is crap...

In store they don't give you your preorder items, on the internet they cancel your orders... Shame on them, I hope they fall apart like Blockbuster...

And I like how you don't back up those claims. It can happen with any company for a number of legit reasons.

So. Let me get this straight. Because you haven't gotten your toys once or twice, you wish unemployment on thousands of people in some of the worst economic times the United States has ever seen...

Pretty selfish and extremist for a "Lamb of God."

Please tell me you are 13 and don't know any better. Please.

i notice that for a while now :|

Gamestop does suck. I've know that for years. I usually buy from Gogamer, Amazon or Steam.

We all know Gamestop is crap.

Glad I'm not the only one that hates Gamestop, wanted to see if I was or not... Thanks for all contributions to my thread...

There way overpriced, but the people in store are usually very friendly and they do a lot of promotions for the games which helps the industry as a whole...sooo...I don't want them to dissolve.

Most of the time it's not the store's fault that the pre-order bonuses don't get handed out. The people who were handling it during shipping could have screwed up the shipping and lost it. It's not like it matters too much either. You're getting the game at least!

I have not had a problem with them and preorder but one time they have me a PC instead of the x-box code so I went back and they change for no problem.

Another store have "Free rental" with a preorder and I never got that.

gamestop sucks

EB is the same are they not? and I have no probablys with them

Actually, I love GameStop. If they still had Xbox games, I would be buying them all the time.muthsera666

Gamestop is not too bad. It all depends really on which store you go to. I haven't really had any problems with them, recently that is.

The greed of shops like GameStop that make a binge-eating Hutt look like a Milan model. Their industry-breaking "Trade fifteen games you bought last week for one this week" scam allows them to resell games at "second hand prices". A leading team of scientists and economists are hoping to measure the difference between second hand prices and the regular retail price using a microscope, a supercomputer and five precisely calibrated millionths of a dime.

This racket allows them to make up to 400% profit on every title (because you can sell the same used game over and over again), which we think is slightly more profit than you're allowed to make without being technically considered a racketeering outfit. Total sales last year were seven billion dollars, otherwise known as "Holy ****ing ****" money, and of the money made on used games, approximately zero of it went back to the people who actually make the games.

Cracked

I'll just leave this right here (Scroll down to #2 "Video Games On Disc"). I also hate how they give you $15 for a used, new game, and sell it for $15 less than market value. And I'll add this.

Shut yer face. GameStop is awesome.

I've never had a problem with Gamestop in the past.

Every time I pre-ordered a game, I would always get the game I wanted the day it came out. The one and only time that happened was for a game I wanted and did the "Pick Me Up" service - Legends Of Wrestlemania, if I remember correctly. Man that game was terrible!

I agree Gamestop is crap. Prices are way too high, piss poor trade in values, & will cheat you at every turn.

There is literally no reason at all to pre-order from gamestop.

Strange, I've never had a bad experience with gamestop. Maybe some go to gamestop for the wrong reasons? I go there if I need a system or controller, and sometimes you can find old games for next to nothing. I picked up a copy of ICO the other day for five dollars. If I need a game that is not considered "mainstream" I use the internet.

I love my local gamestop. Paying 35 bucks for a used (and working fine) copy of God of War 3 there is a lot better than paying 60 bucks at Target. I don't sell games, but if you don't like the price they're willing to pay, why not sell them somewhere else?

Buying from Gamestop is just fine. They do not cancel orders, And always give the pre-order bonuses. In fact, I've gotten pre-order bonuses even when I didn't pre-order it, because they always have tons of extras. Staff always know what they're talking about, and are friendly.

Trade-ins there are awful though.

i dont see why people complainif you dont like it got to target where you can get cod 4 for 40 dollars, but instead i chose tto get it at gamestop for 15

I love gamestop it's awesome.

I have a good store near me, Gamestop can be really good if you know your way around the system.

-for one, NEVER trade in unless you need to get rid of older games in bulk that have a low-demand for online sites like Ebay.

-2) Keep an eye out for trade-in offers, or sales like the one right now.

-3) Their used games have a "garunteed to play" policy, they are FAR more reliable than many online sellers.

-4) BE SMART, USE COMMON SENSE. Don't like the price? Don't buy it. "Deals" don't always mean a good price.

-5) pre-order only if you are positive the game will be good, always keep the online reciept...

Just a few.
