Well, I used to keep forgetting things like what the Edge card works on, and whenever we get a console we always look kinda stupid with all our saved up money on the table. >.> Then the guys at my local GameStop are mean and demeaning, although people at the other GameStops are usually really nice. Otherwise, there aren't really that many problems aside from them being a bit too small.
No real problems, although sometimes their prices are out of whack. I've seeing used games going there for more than a new copy would go for in some other stores.
O.O Serious? That doesn't happen at any of our stores. Unless you're talking about Sears and Walmart 'cause those are not so good games that just come in packs...
I don't have any problems with my GameStop because I only go there when I want to preorder games. If I want to make money off of my old or used games (which I hardly ever do) I use eBay.
Psh. I'm not even allowed to use the Internet for buying or selling anything. Stupid parents think someone might steal their social security or something. :roll:

What are some of the problems you've had at your local GameStop?DonatelloToAll
For me I would say lack of selection would be my biggest issue. The only other problem I have had is 7 years ago I bought a copy of Warcraft II Battlechest which was used and the disc inside was a burned copy.

But they do fix them, they said it themselvesÂ
Company policy when I worked at EB Games was to not accept scratched discs for trade in. Even if we could fix the disc we were instructed not to take them in. They were just doing their job.

Yeah I was disapointed big time because they didn't have a replacement copy for me, I had to take store credit. There were 2 discs in the box but one was disc 1 and one was a burned copy of disc 1. Had it been a burned copy of disc 2 I would of just kept it.

I wonder why Gamestop would accept them in the first place...
I don't know if they look sometimes. GS wouldn't accept my friends disc one time because of a minor scratch, so he took it home, broke it some more, and took it back some time later. The guy there that day didn't check it out apparently :P

Policy may have been different or the Manager may have instructed his staff to be more lemnient. I can only speak for my store when I worked there for the short time I did. I turned several people down for trade ins for that reason.

It might have been, because there was a sign that stood there and it said they take in games scatched or notÂ
I've had similar experiences at work. I've had my store management try to get me to go against policy in regards to returns where I currently work but I have the return policy on a poster next to where I stand so it would be stupid of me and the store to try to change policy that is on a 3 foot tall poster next to me at all times. Customers would call me out on it every time.

I don't see why that employee thought it was worth his time to argue with you but I guess we would have to have been in his skin to fully understand it. I agree with you that with that sign being there they should have accepted the trade in.

oh well, i won't do that same mistake twice. The sad thing is that there isn't anywhere else i can trade my used games inÂ

I'm lucky because there are a couple pawn shop type stores near me that buy used games. I don't have any games to sell right now as I mainly game on PC though.

i have some that i want to sell, but that's the only shop hereÂ
I haven't shopped at Gamestop in forever, really don't like them. They sell opened games as new, and several times I've bought used games there that look like the discs were rubbed with sandpaper and had to return because they wouldn't work.Â

Never heard of any of that before, ever.
You haven't heard much about Gamestop then because new games being opened and sold as new is pretty common. Sandpaper is a little overexaggerated probably but there were in really bad condition. Not sure why anyone would accept trade-ins like that. I even remember the two games they were: Final Fantasy X and Uncharted 2. I would give them a pass on that though if not for the other things I don't like about them. I should say though, this applies to the brick and motor stores I've been to. I've never had any problems with the online store so if there is an exclusive I'll order online from them. (otherwise I prefer Amazon or Newegg because they always have free shipping and don't charge tax)
One thing I did really like about them though is the return policy(can return a used game within 7 days for any reason). Â

No, they open games to remove the contents so they can put the case on the display self in a lot of stores. I've never seen them reseal, they just put a sticker on the case that says new.
I've also heard of brand new games being opened and played by employees but I've never seen that myself.Â
Sometimes opened mistakenly such as the employee put the wrong empty box on the shelf for display or sometimes the package just got torn.

It's quite nice, actually. A certain one I go to has a great manger.ShadowofSonic

That is actually why I regard my short time with EB Games as the most fun I have ever had at a job. The store manager and assistant store manager were both great leaders who made a really fun working environment. Â It was just part time though, 1 or 2 shifts a week, and I found a full-time job. I would have stayed if I could of gotten full-time hours even though I make more money where I am now.
