I think this needs to be a full thread because Gamestop has basically turned into a pawn shop and not worthy of your business.

What prompted me to start this was finding out this

Now for the hundred other reasons to not shop at Gamestop

100. Stickers on new games
99. Stickers on old games
98. Majority of stores in strip mall next to a Walmart
97. You have to be around a lot of Walmart customers
96. Would you like to buy Game Informer Magazine
95. Would you like to buy Game Informer Magazine
94. Would you like to buy Game Informer Magazine
93. Would you like to buy the used copy instead
92. Would you like to buy the used copy instead
91. Would you like to buy the used copy instead
90. Opened games sold as new - gutted copies that in many cases were taken home by employees ans played
89. Selection of new games is very limited and after a year good luck finding a popular title that is new

okay not esactly 100 but I could probably come up with that many. I used to work part time at Ebgames (for employee discount) right after they were bought out by GS and have seen plenty of the shady practices first hand.

STOP giving this company money. You can wait another 12 hours to play Madden for cripes sake. Save yourself some money and buy your EA games at Amazon where you can get $20 off your game and get it on release day for .99 shipping and in most states, no tax.
