I work at a Gamestop myself. While no company is perfect, sometimes I just don't understand the hatred for GameStop. Yes there are some stuff about GameStop that I dislike too. But not most of it is bad.
I preordered my copy of the Game of the Generation edition the moment it went live in store. I had my coworker rang me up. And I haven't receive a cancellation email yet. But I'll keep you guys updated. |

Really/ is it that bad over there for Gametop? i'll admit gamestop are not my preferred cup of tea atm, but i will getoverit, and that will pass. EB Games here in NZ are well enough liked. Sure they go thru a hell of a lot of GOOD staff and they are mostly good, friendly, helpful folk, but they don't seem to treat them the best from what I see and hear because they leave;you get to know them and then they gone, otherwise these folk would not be getting snapped up by other retail outlets that need such folk.
I'm majorly pissed-off that they did this to us(I'm not blaming at you, nor ranting don't worry I will getoverit). It took them over a week to list the product even after EB Canada had it, and now this. Mebe you still have yours(I think you still should, you do work there and I would expect mine to be still there if I worked there to, that's even if they know you work there, I'm not moaning about you being stayed on the list cos you work there, I think its'a a perk of the job to be kept on lists like this for such as you whom work there) So I rilly still want this SR4 GotGedition but I'm transfering my love and want points to Arkham origins new CE(with Joker sitting with 20 TVs behind him statue. Its $200 and ITS AWEEEESOME But I CANT FIND WHERE TO PREORDER IT... I wanna know if its NA exclusive. looks like it is, they get all the good stuff, we in AU/NZ get the dregs that fall down the world.I hope those who preordered first get reinstated cos tbh thats the one who really ought to still be listed.

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. |

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. |
