I see it quite often on forums that people dislike Gamestop. Even today I saw a member here post that they would rather give their money and buy a digital game instead of a physical copy because they hate Gamestop.

I don't see where this all comes from. Walmart has a new game, $59.97. Target, Sears, Bestbuy, K-Mart, Costco, etc... have a new game, $59.99.

Gamestop has a new game, $59.99.

 

Gamestop was the one retailer who offered a trade-up program for TLoUR, while Sony and every other retailer just wanted your $50 or offered $10-$15 for a used copy of TLOU (PS3), Gamestop is giving you $25.

Bestbuy: $10

Amazon: $9.84

 

So seriously, why the hate? Is it because it's the cool thing to do these days? You know, hate on stores dedicated to the hobby you love.

Why the Gamestop hate? I'll answer that with an actual scenario that I experienced awhile back when I HAD to go there to buy Xenoblade.

Me "I'd like a copy of Xenoblade."

Gamestop guy "Ok, would you like to apply for..."

Me "No, I just want the game."

Gamestop guy "But, if you sign up you can save money on this purchase right no..."

Me "No thank you, I just want the game. I'm good."

Gamestop guy (extremely sarastic tone) "What, you don't like saving money?"

Yeah...f' Gamestop.
