10 Gamestop MISTAKES They Want You To Forget

GameStop is still pushing there rewards program hard on a daily basis. I told the guy I buy 90% of my games digitally and they still tried to sell me the rewards things for the last 10 mins I was in there store.

When I was young I had a ps2 and hundreds of games for it. Family rented out space at a flea market and I was gonna sell my games. Went to gamestop to write down prices they were selling the games I had for used (didn’t have internet access). I was like 12. Manager asks what I’m doing, I explain to him how I am going to sell my games for half of what they would and still triple my resale value based on their trade in values. The manger kicked me out of the store and banned me from coming back. The store closed a few months later.

God you’re my favorite falcon. The amount of passive aggressive hatred you are putting out toward GameStop is truly beautiful.

It’s March 2005, I’m on my way home in the car as a 15 year old holding my brand new copy of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory still wrapped in plastic. I can still remember the way the light reflected off of the wet pavement as the rain continued to fall. I tear open the plastic with such joy and fervor, I open the case and my soul broke into a hundred pieces as I see no discs inside. “But how can this be?” I say as I turn to my dad in the drivers seat. I stare at the case in disbelief that my new precious game case could be empty even though it had been sealed just as the ancient Pharaohs of old sealed themselves in their tombs. A tear rolled down my cheek at that moment just as it does now as I type this. When the thought passes through my mind all these years later I still get shivers that run up my spine, I’ll never be free of that terrible night

There was a short period (a few weeks) several years ago where one of their used game purchase price was lower than the game could be purchased new. I bought around 15 copies of that game and sold them back as used for a few dollars profit per game (learned that the wrapping must be removed to sell the game to them). Also for years I have been abusing their 7 day return policy for used games to play games for free.
