GameStop rips people off so bad.

[Bojangles]

I think it was Loki and myself whom were mostly discussing a topic similar to this before. I'll agree with him, GameStop can be a pretty cool place. They will carry special editions of games and they will hook you up with freebies when you reserve stuff from them. Nothing major at all, but it's still kind of cool. The only freebie I've seen that I actually think is worth it is the Ghostbusters t-shirt you get for reserving the Ghostbusters video game. Who wouldn't want a bad ass shirt like that?

I just think that GameStop rips people off with their trade-in's (sp?). Now, I don't ever trade my games in, nor do I sell them. All the games I buy, I keep. The last time I was talking about GameStop I had went with my buddy as he wanted to trade-in this game which had only been in his Xbox 360 something like two times. It was only a $20 or $30 game, though. Well, he went to GameStop to get some trade-in value for it. They were only going to give him like $2 cash or $3 trade-in value on the game. He did it, but I personally wouldn't have.

Now, another story that's even crazier, in my opinion. I have another buddy who picked up UFC Undisputed. He got bored of it after awhile and I can see where he's coming from on that. It's a great game at first but then it does get boring. There isn't really all that much you can do. I certainly don't play it as much as I used to. I will hold onto it, though. Either way, my friend went to go trade this game in. Keep in mind this game, at the time of this post, is not even a month old. Also, it's a very popular game. They were willing to offer him like $25 trade-in value or $10 cash. If you didn't know, GameStop charges $55 for new games that are USED. For $5 more you could just score an unused brand new copy of the game. So, they were going to give my buddy either $25 trade-in or $10 cash and then turn around and put a $55 price on it. Needless to say, he kept the game.
