All Gamestop has to do is price the used price at something ridiculous like $20 before it even comes out and advertise it. No one will trade the game in anyways since they're just buying them and won't want the bad trade-in value, and Best Buy just took a $40 hit per game on a gigantic release. This is a war Gamestop cannot lose. |
However if you looks at it, GS is actually losing profit. The BB deal will cause GS to lower their used prices even further, then instead of getting $54.99(+tax) from used games, they would get less than that. If it goes well, then, GS will have to lower their prices further causing a gap in their profit. Besides, I would rather buy games at BB than GS
