Gamestop takes your used gears 2 copy for around $20 (probably less) and sells if off for $54.99, even almost a year after the game releases, but you can get this game brand spanking new off of other websites.

I dont want to get banned for advertising, so I won't post those sites, but they are not that hard to find...

Yep, that's why they just posted 8 BILLION DOLLARS last year.

It's a business, that's how it works.Don't like it, shop elsewhere, I know I do.

Plus, supporting developers, rather than money hungry retail outlets, makes me feel good inside. :)

I haven't traded in anything for a while there since I started with eBay, but still have to shop there sometimes, specially when they give you something good when pre-ordering, getting inFamous from them.

That why you have to be smart about what you buy and shop around. I love gamestop...The people there know me and I can talk chop for half an hour or so. Then pick up a game for a good deal and move on. If a game is going to cost me the same no matter where I get it, then I will buy it at gamestop.

I never got why people shop @ gamestop. I hate them and their practices but people everyday just casually walk in there and do stupid **** with their money and games. Oh well I don't understand but all I can do is not go there and give them my $$$

EDIT: If you want to get rid of a game there are better ways to get rid of it then trading it in @ gamestop. Ebay and craigslist are both good choices and you'll get back so much more in real money, not fake "can only use it a Gamestop money"

It's the only game store I know and basically the only way I can get games unless I shop online or use Wal-Mart or Best Buy. Shopping online takes to long ( Well and the fact I'm paranoid I might get ripped) and Walmart has worse prices and less games than Gamestop. I'm forced with gamestop or a 30 mile VG store.

You have to shop around many places to discover the best deals. Sometimes small shops have the best deal on a given game, sometimes Amazon does, sometimes Best Buy does, sometimes GameStop does. You just gotta be willing to look.

Quick point, I bought Valkyria Chronicles new from GameStop yesterday for $30. Thats half the cost of it almost anywhere else ATM, so like I said, sometimes you have to shop around for great deals.
