While I am not saying this cannot happen, it just does not ring true.

First of all, the price seems really high for what the people traded in. Oversold and sports titles bring in next to nothing, most PS2 games bring a buck and Gamestop stops taking Xbox games next month.

Plus, I find it interesting that the stock picture with the original article from which this post is taken is European (you can't make out much, but I see the Euro symbol after the price) while the prices quoted are in dollars.

Finally, to most people, Logitech is not trash. If they offered a store brand alternative, I could understand. That is what I have seen most clerks do. Someone comes in asking for a controller, they say they have GS brand for $x and console brand for $y (=x+5). They will also tell people if they have something used and what those options are.

I buy at Gamestop so much, I am on a first name basis with store managers in at least three states.

I trust Logitech with mice and keyboards... but you can't beat Sony's products.

What can I say hmmmm I guess only people that fall for these tricks are CASUAL GAMERS and PARENTS lmao if your a hardcore gamer you know right off the bat what is good quality and whats trash

Eh, I would expect them to push what makes them more money.

Dude, shut up. Logitech makes the best gamepads, mice and keyboard in the business. I have way more trust on Logitech's products than Microsoft's or Sony's.

Meh... I don't shop at Gamestop.

Boo Gamestop. Support your local independant game store. Better prices on used, better service.

And I'd rather shop at Best Buy or Wal-Mart than Gamestop, too.

A good number of "independent" stores are gamestops just with the local franchise names IIRC.

I try not to support satan.

I don't see the big deal. He was giving him his options. 3rd party or 1st, your choice.

However, I wouldn't call Logitech a cheap knockoff. It would probably be just as good as the Sony one.

However, I have to admit I never buy 3rd party hardware.
