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.

what i hate is that "new" is often times not new. they always break the packaging on games which is something i like to do so they take that from me compared to any other store. they tell me they are selling me a new game but frankly i don't always believe them because somethings the packaging looks pretty damn beat up for a new game. i think they are lying to be honest.
...when i got rockband the game came with a code good for a free download of some songs. when i got my "new" game home the code was already used and i never got my songs. i even contacted EA and they said they couldn't do anything for me because someone redeemed the code already. i've never been back to gamestop.
anyways,. i buy full digital now so i doesn't even matter but i moved to amazon for all my gaming needs for quite a while.

That's probably because of the widely known rumor that the employees are able to borrow the games and play them if they return them in the same condition.

I once got a Fire Emblem Awakening copy from Gamestop that they claimed was brand new, but it was out of the plastic wrap and had the slide scratch marks on it, showing that it had been used significantly. I got them to give me one with the wrapping, but it's such bullshit how they thought they could get away with it.
