That sort of happened to my friend the one time. He broke my Saints Row copy and I told him to get me F.E.A.R and I would give him the difference. He goes to the store and its had it new for $44.99. Then I got the $25 from him and went to another Gamestop and the price was about $36. To avoid previous problems I usually pre-order games but I understand where you are coming from.

Yeah, I would suggest Best Buy if you can go there. I don't think I've ever had a problem there.

TC, You're making a big deal out of nothing. I think that the thing on their website includes pre-orders so you should always call ahead anyways. Plus, it's not like it's such a huge deal that you might have to wait a few days. Why don't you go to some other store? Personally, I never buy a game on the first day of its release without pre-ordering it. In fact, that's the only reason I shop at Gamestop is if I want a game bad enough to pre-order it. You're blowing this way out of porportion.

Maybe you should reserve a game you want next time? You reserve, you are guaranteed a copy. If you don't plan to get it anymore, cancel the preorder.

exactly. reserve it for $5 and if they don't get it, go to bestbuy or wherever and get your $5 back from gamestop. simple.

i swear, some people just don't know how to buy games. "they only order enough so people will preorder them"....well then, gee einstein, why not preorder the games?

whatever you put down is as good as store credit, so if you put $5 down on 4 games, that's $20 that you've given to gamespot, doesn't matter if you buy the game you preordered or not, that's YOUR money that they are holding on for you.

you don't HAVE to buy the game(s) you preorder. if you find it somewhere else before gamespot gets it when they say they will, then get it, and tell gamestop to refund your store credit OR put that money toward another game...it's really not rocket science.

if you didn't preorder it, and they don't have it for you, it's your own fault.

Also, I wouldn't expect gamestop or any other chain to update their online systems every other minute. that's just stupid.

Edit: Please make sure you always keep the receipts they give youfor your trade-in or preorder value. keep them in your wallet, or somewherethey won't get lost. that way you have proof if they "lose" your money.

just to let you all know. I just got the Darkness at Circuit City for 49.99 minus a 20 dollar coupon. Paid 31.49. They have the best price.

Just don't go there anymore. Gamestop and Ebgames has always been known for ripping people off and stuff. I personally still go there, but just to sometimes buy used games.

The people at my GS are dix. I try to shop elsewhere as much as possible. They have ripped me off more than once. They constantly badger me to reserve this and to buy that after I buy a game, my thought is "fu** you give me my game and let me go". I remember the manager actually got angry with me for not reserving Splinter Cell: DA. He made me so mad I flipped him the finger out the door.

Well if you read the thing on top you would know better, it says:

"Important: Please call store quickly to confirm availability..."

Is Gamestop you guys only option?

I recomend Best Buy. I have had nothing but good experiences at Best Buy with games. If you go Release day, they are usually never out of stock.

The place to avoid is Circuit City, they have the worst Game department in the Business. Only when CC sells a game for $10 cheaper should you ever shop there.

CC?
