Why do I hate Gamestop so?

I dislike that game stop will seel you "new" games that have no case or manual.

I also hate when I'll wait a while to buy a game I might be interested in, and then the only copy they have left is the beat up shelf copy that's been pawed by way too many 8 year olds. I suppose that's my own fault for waiting though.

But, most of all, WTH is with all the stickers they feel the need to slap all over used game boxes. Then I end up trying to peel them off when I get home (they just look too dang ugly), only to leave nasty sticky residue or leave half the backing if I'm not careful enough. Especially the older ones. Couldn't they at least use less sticky stickers? ><

 

Amen to that!! So many of the posters in this thread hit on some Amen worthy comments. But I just HAD to co-sign on this one.

The staff just doesn't give a damn for the most part. I think most of the old Rhino's employees who stayed past the changeover have moved on to better jobs (graduated college or moved to higher paying job) and this new staff here are just people picking up a paycheck. They probably know little about games.

I refuse to buy a new game without a case and manual. I can understand if a trade-in didn't have it especially for really old games or portables but there's no excuse for that with new games.

And I hate that generic GameStop packaging that replaces the original game cover art work. They made that art work for a reason. Might be a symptom of this downloadable age. Even in music industry, people forget about the importance of the "album". Physical media and its presentation will always be important.

How hard is it to get the actual case art? Whew. I just HATE that store.

Damn you Blockbuster's!! You caused this to happen!!

P.S.: I never fall for that preorder stuff nor that extended warranty BS from other major retailers. Money grubbing jabronies.
