So I'm sure evrryone has seen the ads for certian games.. gamestop.. (like the soldiers dancing around for Bad Company 2)..

anyway, is anyone else getting annoyed by them? its bad enough they try to get people to buy games from there store bygiving players some stupid extra weapon code, it makes me mad because IT SHOULD ALREADY BE IN THE GAME!

I also can't stand the guy who does the voice at the end of the ad "Power to the player"... Ugh!!! its so annoying.. Power to the player MY ASS!.. by over pricing games and markingoff 5 bucks off of used games?

I never really paid that much attention to the gamestop ads but I like getting extra free content. Who doesn't like free stuff. As far as the price goes I can't think of any store that has lower prices then gamestop. I heard someone say games are cheaper online but im not sure about that cause I don't really buy games online. I do know that gamestop is the cheapest game retailer I've been to. You also get a better return on used games if you are a card member.

The only time I ever see GameStop ads on TV is around Christmas time.

Why should extra content already be in the game? Its extra, as in not part of the game, and you can get it free exclusively from Gamestop.

The used game prices do lower over time and with lower demand. Straight up economics, regardless of new game price.

And they're just commercials, chill.

Well, when you think about it, both games will play the exact same, so why not get the game for $5 cheaper? Not that I really care, I get old games from half price books for $3 (Original COD, MoHAA, etc etc.)

Well the extra stuff is usually already in the game, and then recently Gamestop has been paying these companies to lock it for only people who pre order it a Gamestop. Pretty shady and annoying if you ask me.

gamestop: power to the players!

gamestop commercials are bad, gamestop is pretty bad, and most of their employees are pretty bad.

I think their motto should be, 'power to the employees' cause they pretty much do what they want and **** over consumers. As of last year I became an avid best buy buyer.

i hate that one, since i watch a lot of vids on gametrailers that one played before every single one of them and i couldn't stand it after a while. Im finally glad the game was released so now its gone for good.

I don't really see what the big deal is. They aren't on tv that much. Mass Effect 2's GameStop ad ran fairly often, but since that one, I haven't seen that many.
