Are Gamestops really this bad in the Yanks?
There's a single GS in my town, and I got there fairly often, but they have never, ever tried to get me to subscribe to, or reserve anything. I once bought a PS2 there (with their "bring in 5 old games to get 100€ off a new console"), and they asked if I wanted an extended warranty, but didn't ask twice when I said I wasn't interested.
Of course I'd never buy a new console game there, since there's a nice local store that has new games for 5-10€ cheaper, and usually a few days before the official release date. Also, games in Gamestop often have the manuals and such only in Swedish, which is a huge insult for us Finns. =P
Their saving graceto me is the very nice PC shelf with a surprisingly wide array of games at very reasonable prices. Heck, I found a brand spanking new copy of Psycho-motherfucking-nauts for just 10€, and their "buy 3, pay for 2" deal for PC games under 15€ is very nice.
Actually, I was surprised by how the guy says Gamestop ignores PC games, since the one near me devotes around a quarter of the store to PC games. Not that much compared to consoles in general, but still more than any single console. Of course this is in Europe, where PC gaming is supposedly much more popular.
