you may know some of this things but am trying to inform people who do not know

The guy seems like he's trying to act like Yahtzee. It's unfortunate that his voice is so boring.

Anyway, I didn't watch all of 'em, but I'm still going to buy from GameStop no matter what because of personal convience.

The guy said he admires Yahtzee. So thats why he did it like this. Yea I never sell my games to gamestop. Only to ebay.

The company makes a crap load of profit for a reason. They know how to turn a profit. If I were in charge of the business and my job was to find ways to turn profit I would be doing the same things.CajunShooter

You can't really blame Gamestop to much though. If I were to shovel cow crap into a box and sell it for $30 and will constantly have people buying it then why wouldnt I keep doing it.

The problem is that the consumers are willing to let Gamestop continue to do this. If customers started being upset with it enough to hurt sales then Gamestop would have to change their ways of doing things.

But lucky for Gamestop 99% of the customers they see now barely know the most basic things about video games so they don't really understand that they are making bad deals.

yeah i just went there last week to see what i would get for Turok and UT3 on the PS3 and I would get 11 bucks cash or 14 bucks store-credit by trading in two games I got for 60 bucks each. I couldnt believe what I heard when he said 11 and 14.

I went to game crazy it and it was a bit better with 14 and 20.

But still, with any games I sell from now on its strickly craiglist/ebay because they just screw you over hard.

When I was younger I was foolish to think that Gamestop giving you $80 for 10 newish games was awesome. I've come to realize that I got wallet raped while they laughed doing it........

My collection is pretty big but I've traded in at least 40-50 games in there. for a total of about $400-450 dollars. I'm glad I stopped sophomore year of high school and realized the beauty of ebay.

How hard is it for some people to say no? Yeah, when I go to buy something at Gamestop they sometimes ask me if I want to make a pre-order, but they're friendly and I just say "no thanks." They smile and send me on my merry way. I think this issue is percieved as a much bigger problem than it really is because the people complaining about it have poor social skills. I never once accidentally pre-ordered a game I didn't want or bought a used game when I wanted a new one just because the casheer asked me if I wanted to.Timstuff

i actualy watched all of those yesterday. i knew they screw u over with trade ins. about two weeks ago i traded in my ds and games. i got a total of $100. it was lik 5 games and ds. i was surpriced i was expecting like 50, i bought ut3 and something i can't think of.

the other day i went to gamestop to buy a wow time card, walmart didn't have any. the guy tries getting me to preorder some games. pritty much everything that is coming out. gears 2, wow: wrath of the litch king, fable 2 mostly anything that i s coming out. i told him no.

**** gamestop

That is all.

Everytime gamespots screws me, i screw them.

What i do:

I buy a brand new game, for example a ps3 game, i open a little bit (just enuff for the cd to come out) of plastic carefully from the opening of the box. Get the CD out without ripping apart the plastic so that i can tape it back with clear tape where i opened it from.

Then i put a fake cd in and tape the opening and return it.

Already done it with 20 games. So i own 20 games for free. If they want to play the game, fine with me!
