Saints Row IV Game Of The Generation Edition Announced, Only 5000 Produced - Page 31

I think people hate Gamestop because mostly when you trade in a brand new game that you just finished playing. Let say GTA5, you might get $15 or $20 in store credit if you're a member at GameStop. Then they turn it around and sale that copy for $55.

Most people are like WTF?!

But what most people don't understand is that GameStop is a retailer and is also technically a pawn shop. (That what my boss told me, and he is not a bad manager either. He's definitely the best boss I ever had.)

Since GameStop is a pawn shop of course like with any other pawnshop they'll actually give you less money and charge more for a profit. That's just the way things work.

That why I keep most of my games, I only trade in the ones I hated and only when they're promotion like 50% extra in store credit.

Normally GameStop doesn't oversold but it happen. I shop at amazon and it happened to be once before. Same with Best Buy.

Yeah, I saw the Arkham Origins collector edition for the US.

I think I might cancel my Game of the Generation edition and get a normal copy instead.. I do love saint row, I platinum the 3rd one.

But I gotta pay for splinter cell black list CE and now the Batman CE too. And I'm sorry my Saints, I just love them more.

I know it's limited to only 5000, but I have no use for a dub step gun and a statue of Johnny Gat.

Do you think I should cancel it?

Game are just as bad. I sold my DoA5CE for ?20 to them (with the DLC all used) - they then try to sell it for ?60.

It wouldnt be so bad if they offered a fair trade in value - though at least they now price match other stores trade value.

Well the thing about Game and GameStop (both own by the same company) is that they don't take collector or limited edition into consideration when they buy your game.

To them, all pre-owned games are standard edition. Unless you trade in a "Game of the Year edition" or a special edition like Skyrim legendary edition.

A standard edition with a piece of paper with the DLC code or a game with a steelbook will just count as a standard game.

I have plenty of customers trade in steelbook games before. I just bought a Tomb Raider steelbook game from my store cause some dude traded it in.

So sometimes working at GameStop has it perks when you find special stuff.

Game and Gamestop aren't the same company. Gamestop and EBGames are xx

though saying that - im wondering whether to cancel mine. the CE looks amazing and its not that bad value imo, its just the customs charges are going to piss me off - probably ?30?
