That's quite an interesting statistic that I did not know before, thank you for sharing that Ben.

I really don't see a problem with Gamestop. I've been annoyed a couple times by the sales people. Most noticeably when I went go Gamestop when they first opened to get Xenoblade. We had to wait for a safe or something to unlock so he could get me change. In the ten minutes we waited, he tried to sell me like 5 different games :3

You do realize Wargram we offer usually a 30% bonus on traded in games towards pre-orders.

You can trade in Arkam City in towards a new game and get a minimum of $25 out of it.

Bro thats a game that came out in October over 6 MONTHS ago and pay off almost half a brand new release. That way better than stupid gift card.

But again your overtly biased and way off base with anything you say on the topic. Mostly due to not being remotly educated on the topic. People who say Gamestop only give 5 bucks for games! are almost always wrong, and if we do its because its gonna sell for 20 bucks or less. Get over it dude, honestly.

But again either way I don't care what you, some random dude on the internet says about my company. We'll continue to post record sales and get along with 90% of the gaming community. Disgruntled guys like you can just sit on the computer and complain I could care less.

Yet you continue to reply to the disgruntleted angry gamer on the internet.

and to the top bolded part: Bullshit.

never sell a game at gamestop, they'l give you less than 10 bucks for a brand new game. I sell my games on Amazon or Ebay.

No way Bro! Trade that game in instead and you'll get an extra $3 towards a pre-order. Sweet deal!

These are current pre-order games offering the 30% boost. These are just some of this months offers.

Batman Arkam City's base trade in right now is $17

Add the 30% boost and you get to over $22

If your a powerup member add in another 10% boost on top of that and get to $25 exactly.

You have been completly owned. Any other trade ins / bossts / promotions you would like to discuss with me? I can go all day I do this over 45 hours every week for a living.

True but it's not like you have the option to Pre-Order anything you want. You have a designated window to Pre-Order for a select few games. I'll stick with my $20 credit towards any purchase. Thanks.

Also......i've been owned!

I get it Wargram and I'm not trying to be a dick at all, hell if I see a deal somewhere else thats better than us I buy it. I have no issue with you liking our competitors more than us, that is totally understandable.

The one thing that just drives me crazy though is when people try and say we purposely try to rip people off because we don't, or I should say at least not the majority of us. Just like any other company we have some bad eggs in the batch but the majority of the company really is here to support the gamer.

In terms of getting the most out of trade ins its all about jumping and trading at the right time and getting the most out of the deal. Sure sometimes our trade ins can be low but if you trade in at the right time you can actually get some great credit out of you trades. Hell I just had someone trade in a copy of Battlefield 3, an over 6 month old game as well, towards the new ghost recon and he got 36 dollars for it. Thats half a brand new release paid off right there!

So again I'm not some blind zealot or anything I fully realize our competitors offer some excellent deals all the time, the only thing I take issue with is when people say we are trying to hurt the gamers, because we truely aren't.

My biggest issue that is exclusive (I say as every store has dumb employees. It happens when you employee the people they do) to GameStop is the check-out policy in which they sell games that have been played by employees as still new. I'm sure Ben will say that a small minority check things out or whatever, but I've bought DS games that supposed to be new with save files on them. The incredible number of stupid looks I get when I ask for a sealed copy of a new game is still astounding.
