GameStop to close 120 stores

[-Dark Mark-]

We could stand to lose one or two here, still won't be any harm done. There are three I can drive to right now.

I have three Gamestops near my area hopefully the one closest to me isn't closing

They really aren't. Yeah you have your stores that are full of assholes and they try to make you pre-order shit all the time, but generally the workers are respectful and semi-knowledgeable about video games.

But just like gamers, the actions of the minority make the majority look like idiots and then people start to generalize a whole community based off the actions of a few idiots.

if thats true you yanks have it lucky - you should see some of the seepage that staffs the uk game stores (called 'Game') - if you ever want to feel like you chose the wrong hobby just look at/listen to the cretinous ♥s that 'work' there for 10 minutes. "NO I DONT WANT TO PREORDER BODYCOUNT! NOT I DONT WANT A GUIDE! NOT I WILL NOT BUY A USED COPY! OH GOD, PLEASE, I PROMISE, ILL NEVER GAME AGAIN IF YOU JUST LET ME OUT OF THIS HELL!!"

EDIT: um, okay..... why does this site not censor the f-word but does censor the c-word? Thats kinda racist against the UK!

SLY! I thought you were from the UK?!

I buy quite a few games there, some games are a little over priced depending on the demand but they do have some pretty good deals as well.

My only real complaint is that that sometimes if you buy a "new" game they give you an already opened game that they've already taken the plastic off and kept the disc in storage because they put the case on shelf.
Not a really big deal for most people but if I pay full price for a new game I like to have a new unopened game.

They've tried to do that to me before and I politely tell them that if the plastic is off I believe it is a used game and they can either give me the game for the price of a used one, or they can get me a brand new copy. I've never had an employee argue about it, in fact the manager apologized to me.

give them 30 games and they're like ''we can give you 2 dollars''

Meh., GS was odd to me I went in and bought $80 worth of Psn cards and they gave me weird looks that and they kept asking for my info even after I said no once., felt like I was talking to a website that wants you to register.

 

And Coryn up here our pawn shops allow two for one game trade in's I love it usually can find high end retail games and grab em with no regrets.

 

I never do shop trade ins ebay wanted to give me a whooping 10 dollars for all 12 of my games.
