A questions about small gaming stores like game crazy and game stop

[Master Roshi]

I use gamestop a lot for buying new games. Of course if I'm going to buy a game new it's gonna be on release day. So I know I'm getting a new copy regardless. I don't sell my games or trade em in. I also don't buy many games. Probably why I haven't had any issues with gamestop.

hence my point exactly, if a game is sold as "new" it should be new not used, I should not have to pay full price for a used game which is labeled new, its just bad business practice, it should not matter if it is release day or not, new is new and used is used plain and simple so FU gamestop:crash:

forget about buying games in stores, in this age of the internet , I use Amazon and Ebay for all my gaming needs, I never was a fan of gamestop, they have too many bad practices like selling the game as new when in fact it is a used copy, I never go into gamestop anymore, I used to buy alot from them online and they did the same ****, charging me a new game price for a used game, bad business but I guess alot of casual gamers don't care much about this but if you have been gaming for many years then this might bother you

That's exactly right, they cater to people who don't know how to shop for games.

I get extremely nervous when I am buying from Ebay. I have recently just bought Final Fantasy VI for Gameboy Advance off of Ebay because I could not find it close to my area. I would like to buy Breath of Fire also for Gameboy Advance but waiting to see how my purchase with FF VI turns out before I try again.

With Gamestop and other stores in my area that sale used games, I feel better in buying them because I know what I am getting and that I could get a refund if it does not work.

Be careful, that's a slippery slope with Gamestop. If you get a game that doesn't work, they "guarantee" they'll refund you for it. In reality, and if you read the fine print on your recent, all they legally have to do is give you store credit.

I used to go to Gamestop for used games and everything, but in my local area I've found a place called Gamers that has a better price for exchanging games and a much better selection. Gamestop only seems to want to answer questions when I have items in my hand to buy, where Gamers will talk to me about any questions I have from release dates to system issues.

I've always had good conversations with people who work at Gamestop/ebgames. Sometimes we talk about up coming games or random stuff. Today I was talking to a guy about Aion. He's currently beta testing it and says its a great game. He went into great detail about plot and game play - so it must be a good game.
