I stopped shopping in pretty much all B&M stores with the advent of Amazon Prime (pretty much the best business move a retailer has made in the past decade and the best one ever by an online-only one), but I will say that I had given up on GameStop much earlier than that.

Due to their asinine pre-order policy (not being able to actually walk in and purchase a game on the first day of availability without a pre-order) was the final nail in that particular chain's coffin (abetted by the constant Game Informer/strategy guide sales push).

And now they've taken it one step further and decided to sell those pre-orders to others because you didnt' get there fast enough? Tell me: why does anyone shop there at all?
