FUCK Gamestop!!!

by Pariah on Feb.24, 2009, under Annoyances, Gaming

does anybody else loathe Gamestop? I have nothing but trouble whenever I need to go there, on about 4 occasions now I got “sorry, we ran out of the preorder gifts”, would help to not give them to friends I guess, I also hate getting charged full price for the open copy of the game, just happened yet again today, I understand it’s the shelf copy, and supposedly not played, but everyone knows once something is opened the price drops, the copy of Baroque (Wii) I got today was a shelf copy but hard to find so I took it anyways, get halfway home and realize the back of the case is slashed with a razor destroying the case and sleeve, have to turn around and go all the way back because you can only return something like that to the store you got it from it seems, one occasion they took my preorder money and decided not to list it as a preorder so didn’t get the gift, still trying to find the Okami Buddha Board preorder gift for the fiancee, fiancee went there once and got me Jet Set Radio Future again, she asked them if they had it and they said they were too busy to look for the case and gave her just the game disc, so today, luckily, I found another copy and bought that just for the damn case (it’s the non dual case), it annoys me when a game goes out of print and the value rises above market price and every sealed copy Gamestop has suddenly becomes an open used copy with a price jack, how convenient, and finally, I’m tired of them doing ebay prices on used games, saw a used game in the xbox bin for $90, think it was Marvel vs Capcom, can’t remember exactly, I understand that ebayers get that much and thats why we hate ebayers for gouging prices and buying all the games to turn a profit, and now the store does it before them, doesn’t make it any better
