gamestop stores are a fucking ripoff!!!

John F. Kerry · 10-01-2009, 05:36 PM

ok i just have to say this because every single time i deal with this store i realize what asshole cheats they are and how no one should ever ever EVER shop their. but then i dont know who to tell so noone ever finds out and this asshole stores stay in business.

so check this out- guitar hero world tour - the old one right? so u cant even buy a guitar and game combo at gamestop - they dont have it at any of the stores- because they only one they have is the BRAND NEW guitar hero 5 and guitar combo for 100 bucks....

its the exact same guitar but for some reason they have to charge way more for it just because it comes with a new game- this would be fine- if you could get the old game and guitar- but they explicitly make sure they dont have that version anymore.

so i go on amazon.com and get a guitar hero world tour and guitar combo- instead of 100 bucks guess what amazon has it for ? 64.99! almost HALF OFF- then u can buy the new game for 59.99 at GAMESTOP (or 49.99 on amazon.com) and u can have the exact guitar and both games for almost no more than it would cost you to buy the one game and guitar just in the new packaging.

so thats not the only reason gamestop sucks-

their trade in policy is fucking bulshit- first off they will never tell u trade in prices on the phone- even if u ask them like 3 questions first then they will be like oh sorry its too busy i cant look that up - ITS JUST A BS LINE SO THEY CAN JUDGE HOW STUPID U LOOK WHEN U WALK IN AND FUCK YOU ACCORDINGLY!

so in addition to all that shit- i buy a new ps2 game for 50 bucks, about a week later i want to buy the wii version of the game so i try to trade it in- the trade in value ? 12 bucks!!!! and then i asked how much it was sellling for used the girl goes- um 39.99 .... so they take a brand new game put it back on the shelf and charge someone else almost the new priace over again after giving the other person 10 fucking bucks.

so basically my advice is NEVER EVER BUY FROM THEM-

in the last 3 years every game ive ever wanted ive been able to get on amazon.com for CHEAPER, AND if not quicker, very quick nonetheless even with normal shipping and if u pay a few bucks extra which is still usually less than it costs at gamestop u get it the next day delivered.

and in some cases u get a thing that would retail for 99 at gamestop on amazon.com for like 55 or less!

so my psa and angry rant have come to an end but heed my advice FUCK GAMESTOP AND GET YOUR SHIT FROM AMAZON.com!

Sometimes I feel really bad for your ability to be behind the times so fucking far in nearly every aspect of life as we know it. But then I just laugh.

tedkennedy · 10-01-2009, 07:47 PM

i just bought aion for 33 dollars on ebay, my friend just paid 50$ at gamestop.

i never buy anything without investigating what im buying and whether or not im getting lowest price. if you are gonna buy from a store, most big stores have printable coupons, i dunno about gamestop but at most places you can print out a 10%-40% coupon off one item and save big dollars.

if you have to sit on frozen peas everytime you come home from there, why would you go back? it's your own fault.

go to the used video stores that also store porno and old kung fu movies. that's the funnest way to get games!

_tyranT · 10-02-2009, 10:36 AM

Gamestop is essentially a gamer's pawn shop, so of course it's a scam financially speaking. All pawn shops are, no matter what type.

Terry · 10-02-2009, 02:53 PM

Gamestop is bullshit because I got two used games but they had no cases, and I was charged the same price, it was whack.

But it's the only store we got.

*high five*

*even if you were mocking me*

Seriously though, even the mom and pop owned Movie Village 20 minutes from my place buys MINT condition PS3 games for like under 20 bucks. Pawn shops work the same way, it's really the only way for them to make money off of second hand games. As for the rest of the shit, fuck gamestop wal-mart got me covered for ma gaming needs
