GameStop Diaries:Gave 360 a chance.... Pt.1

[forevercloud3000]

Ok so this thread has completely steered towards the point that gamestop allows me to borrow "new" games. Ok, whatever. I mean really, how "NEW" is a games that has been sitting in packaging for umpteen months? No one seems to complain when Gamestop takes brand new games that have set around for too long and set them out with a USED sku. A game that is still completely sealed can  become damaged if it displaces itself from the thingy inside that holds it in place. I have seen that particularly happen to PS2,PSP, and 360 games because of the way their cases are. The only one that is completely secure is the DS cases really.

 

And Gamestop DOES kinda sux, no arguing with that. I just work there. I sit behind a counter, listening to hundreds of ppl's issues with this or that for a living. I think some of u are just RLY paranoid. SERIOUSLY what are the chances of you getting that game that was opened. It is for the last person to ask for it, if he/she doesnt like it, dont buy it, go to another store if you want.

 

Gamestop has its flaws, but this aint one of them. Checking out NEW games is not really the NORM, it is for used tho. I would have gone that route but there were none of the game my friend wanted for used. And as the OP said, the store did not take it back because of like ONE LITTLE SCRATCH! The game wasnt severely damaged or anything, it just did not represent new anymore. Just becuz the plastic is not on the game doesnt mean it has been used by employees either, that gut is placed securely behind the counter to ward off theft.

U guys can try and make Gamestop to be somekind of "WALMART" like super villain but it is not. Yea everything is not negotiable like in a ma and pop shop but it is still better quality than most of them. What do you think those shops do with most of the games they possess? They DONT have a huge conglom breathing in their ear.
