Shady Business, Grrrr.

you know, now that I look back at it gamestop, the biggest chain of video game distributers, have a very shady business plan. Many times I have shopped there and many times i have some problems. Here are some examples of some problems I had with gamestop. I remember when I was just geting into PC gameing and I was going to buy Unreal tournement 04 from them. I bought a used copy ( this was before I knew about the CD keys and stuff. ) And after I bought it I noticed that and installation disk was missing. I was distrought, especially after the guy put those disks into the box, later I returned it and bought a new copy elsewhere. Another example is when my friend wanted to buy "Need for Speed underground 2" for his nephew. He eventually found a copy but there was a big sticker on the top right of it blocking the end of the logo. He asked the guy at the counter if the game was NFSU2 and the guy said yeah, at the time I was loking at other games. Later still unsure he asked be if it was the game and one look at the cover and I knew it wasn't (I have Underground 2). So I told him that he in fact bought the first. Other crap tactics that gamestop uses are hiring collage students who always give attitude and dont care, and selling games that clearly state NEW but when you bring the case to the counter they whip out a disk and put it into the display case to brought up, and overprice the games defult price buy up to $10. Clearly from what I've seen gamestop needs to get its act together. Unfortunately they are one of the only stores around here that sells used games and they have some pretty rare games. But I will now only shop their as a last resort.
