I both love and absolutely hate GameStop. I despise that they persist and pester people about pre-ordering games when there hasn't been a shortage of retail copies of games in my memory since Wind Waker at launch.

But what really grinds my gears is when they make up release dates and refuse to accept that they're wrong. Also, their accessories are overpriced and many people who go in there without a lot of knowledge of video games are going to be swindled and taken advantage of. They do the same thing as Best Buy, but at GameStop it's magnified by 10 because people who walk into GameStop assume the employees are all-knowing experts, and they're the furthest thing from it. I regularly correct GameStop employees about release dates or just random information that they're no up to speed on.
