Re: GameStop Allegedly Selling Used Games At "New" Prices"
Ha! Men in Black!! I for sure would try to run my white ass to mexico if that would happen. Seriously speaking though I am with most of you as a consumer, gamestop will find a way to give it to you like an anal porn star gets it. I don't see game stop going anywhere soon just because those "other" people continue to shop there. Hell I will give you guys a little inside on the company, you really think getting $70 bucks for a DS lite is a rip off. Try buying a game informer subscription for $14.99 and the employees having to say, "you save 10% on game sales and accessories". And when you go buy a game that is new the employee will then tell you it's only on used games, heck even when you think about it 10% off a used game is still a rip off. Now the second part I have is reservations, one half of the people that reserve games or video game systems don't pick up their games and forget about them, that's extra money for the big man. Then the little dumb cons that they put about giving out exclusive things out with reservation. I'm sorry all that stuff is taken by the time the game comes out by all its employees and managers. Oh yeah forgot the other part, guys, if they say a game is going to be sold out everywhere when it comes out, so you best reserve it now. DON'T BELIEVE THEM! Video games don't get sold out... Collectors Editions are a different story but c'mon when's the last time you heard on some gaming site that a video game cannot be created as fast to supply the demand? As it is look at the nintendo wii you can find that crap everywhere now a days. So yes guys i'm on your side as well but you can't flame a company saying they are shitty at what they do. Because the company is a genius at what its doing and that's conning your money. Well now it's off to Game Stop...
To CoFree: Thank you for the information you put. I just had to post something, spice of the forums a bit. Either way I do hope something happens to Game Stop to hurt them a bit not make them close down because then im out of a job lol!

Re: GameStop Allegedly Selling Used Games At "New" Prices"
You BASTERDS! I always wondered why my brother never got a halo 3 helmet with his pre-order my brother has pre-ordered like 8 games and never got the "extra's" that they advertise come with it if you pre-order from them.KingKoopaHN wrote:Then the little dumb cons that they put about giving out exclusive things out with reservation.

Ill let my brother know so next time if he pre-orders and doesnt get the extra thing he is supposed to, to demand a refund so he can go buy the game from future shop, and that they are false advertising etc. Hopefully it will scare those pricks into actually giving away what they should be...
(BTW im talking about EB, the EB by my house that my brother always goes to has never once given him something special for pre-ordering, yet others have gotten things from different ones, and from future shop etc.)
