Best Buy price matching New Games at Gamestop's Used Game prices

Read Here

Interesting: Whatever happens, the customer will most likely win in this scenario. As of right now, Bestbuy is testing this in a few retail locations. Will have to wait and see if this becomes nationwide policy.

Bye bye Gamestop, hello Best Buy :D

Gamestop is great though how you can return any used game for refund even if the only reason is you did not like the game.rybe1025

Honest to God, first time I've ever heard anyone utter gamespot and something positive in the same sentence lol.

O well I will still use Gamestop and Gamecrazy. Mainly because in the town I live there is a Gamecrazy and I can do Gamestop online. The nearest Best Buy is an hour drive away.

This probably won't last long.OreoMilkshake

We'll see how Gamestop responds. If they shrug this off, Bestbuy probably ahs more to gain from this then lose.

I know I'd rather buy New than used.

The only reason why Gamestop might not be affected dramatically is that most people trade in games to buy new games. But Best Buy is looking into that as well...

This is true, they had a good sale though last weekend for 25 percent off all used games. Also if you know some discount codes you can get some good deals online. I never buy from Gamestop online without using the CAG16 code and the Saver coupon code. 16 percent off used games + free shipping combined add's up fast.

This is why I love the free market and competition. I win. Plain and simple.

Don'g get too excited, it's only in West Jordan, Utah. We don't know if this will actually roll out nationwide.

lol and what store is that. I work at best buy, and those kind of things are completely at manager discretion. If they want they can say yes or no to price matching used games, they will most likely not agree to it, but for things like PS2 games or if the difference is a few dollars, they most likely won't care, so I see it happening though.

And I would rather get a new game than used @ gamestop, their used game look like dirt (most of them do).

Meh, don't really care too much. Online is always gonna be cheaper.

Doesn't the Wal-Mart supercenter already do this. :?

New games are priced at $54.99 there when they first come out.

this is good news, I only go to gamestop to buy special editions of games, or if they have some sort of promotion going on.

Best Buy only sells extremely popular games, gamespot has some not popular games for a few games before they disappear.

Thus, I like gamespot more.

I've always been more a fan of gamecrazy. The people and prices are unmatched, and honestly I get more for used games I dont need.

Hillarious aprt is some Bestbuys are right next to Gamestops.

Best Buy DOES NOT have a LARGE AMOUNT of RARE games that can support this new offer. That's the Big Difference.

I don't see how this works, since Best Buy is basically catered to the average everyday consumer, not gamers. Gamers, many of which, are still buying USED games that are hard to find.

Where can i find a used copy of Twisted Metal Black? or Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast? or Gran Turismo 3? orL oZ WW? or Wipeout Fusion?All this can be found at Gamestop. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of Gamestop, but they do offer variety.

If BB are gonna compete, they've better damn well have a LARGE SELECTION of used games to choose from.

Did I say I didn't understand anything? No?

Since you couldn't follow, I'll explain it to you. I was referring to the popular opinion that gamestop sucks.

All caught up now?

[QUOTE="Chutebox"]

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] There is a seven day return policy on used games, meaning you can play them for 7 days, and if you don't like them, you can return them. Are you following now? But, yes, hail Best Buy. Hail Best Buy. Kill the devil Gamestop. That place is ruining the industry, IMHO. They price gouge to hell and back on their used games, the only reason most people buy them is for the aforementioned warranty.Brownesque

You quoted and responded directly to me, at least the first portion.

Edit: I hate when I'm rude to people even if I feel they deserved it, so I deleted that post lol.
