That is why I wont go near a GameStop. If I were to walk into one I might as well just bend over and spread 'em... b/c that's what happens there.

[mitsu_chan]

Yeah. That's what everyone says that comes in too. :P Yet.... they still keep shopping. Figure that one out. o__o

[carson10us]

Actually... if its a new game and I know I won't be able to get it anywhere else, then I will preorder it there: same price as anywhere else that way.

BUT I've never been one to sell my old games anyways. I still have all of the games from my PS1 up.

I'm also the geek that bought MGS4 even though I still don't own a PS3... figure that out =P

[carson10us]

But... to thier defense:

The markup on new games sucks... Consoles and games are sold at near-cost. The money is made on the accessories and (in gamestop's case) used game resale.

And yet they charge $80 for it- USED! Assholes. This is why I use them ONLY for reserves for games coming out that I want- which at this point isn't much. If I want to buy or sell used, I will go to BullMoose here in Mine. It's one of the things this area has over the NYC area believe it or not. ;) I got Uncharted with all the inserts, etc used and in mint condition (literally), for $40. Far less then the crappy quality $55 used copy GameStop rapes you for.

Sorry, mini rant there. Occasionally they have a good deal. OCCASIONALLY. :P

[mitsu_chan]

Sometimes, yeah. You just gotta keep an eye out for the deals.

I hate our policies. :P

getting 19 for fes isn't bad since brand new it's 30. I'll never give mine up, but, not bad at all.

[mitsu_chan]

Yeah, but otherwise....

Once it's over a month old you're not getting crap for it.

Apparently they won't give you the time of day for a rare game like that. LoL Damn that's crazy.
