Attention GameStop: Enough Already With Those USED Game Stickers!

^ It probably depends on the game at the time of purchase/trade-in.

I know what you mean about Final Fantasy games. I buy them on release date. I can’t wait for them either. =)

I do the same with CD jewel cases when they crack on my favorite ones. I change them with the CDs I don’t care about. =)

I actually rarely buy games from a store. I buy my new/used games online since most of the time they’re cheaper and complete (no beat-up case or missing manual, I hate that). But once in a while Best Buy, Fry’s, and sometimes Gamestop will have better deals than the average online price. And that’s when I encounter the sticker problem. =\

And a comment on greatest hits versions: Ugh! That red label ruins the cover. I like getting first prints, especially if they have a special cover or some bonus.

^ Haha. There’s one more exception. For gamse like Final Fantasy, one like me doesn’t like to wait a couple months for the price to go down and buy’s it new there :X. BUT, I remember scoring new games $10 off at Best buy and Fry’s. Gamestop doesn’t do that kind of thing.

angrytetsuo: How did that happen? Most games are only 2 bucks cheaper used. I mean the games here are 17.99 for greatest hits and 34.99 for a usual 39.99 game and 54.99 for a PS3 game. Offering me 2 bucks for a used version.

And here’s what I do with Out of date, “Can’t sell for shit” Sports titles…Use their cases for other stuff! In case I buy a game with a beat up cover/case I can sacrifice good old NBA Live 08

^ Haha. Didn’t know you could do that, though I’ve never traded in a game before.

I feel the same way about those stickers. Sometimes, I scratch the case by trying to take them off. I really hate that.

And yes, Amazon all the way for me. They’re almost always a few dollars cheaper, no tax (at least in Cali), and no shipping charges over $25. I also like their new incentive coupon bonuses with selected pre-orders. Like Danny, I only go to Gamestop for their bonuses, exclusives, and special limited edition stuff.

I hear that! In the past I have been able to scam them back, meaning that I have bought a used game and cleaned all the stickers off then take it in the next day and say I dont have an account with you will you buy my game, they paid me more than I paid for it! Take that Game Stop!

BTW, I can buy new games, and better condition new games at Amazon 100% of the time vs. Gamestop. The only time I go to gamestop is to get bundles, consoles or special limited editions.

EWW! The used game shit that Gamestop pulls off is criminal. You save 2 dollars off the new price!? And for what, a beat up version of the game? Especially since they mark up the game 1700%

For example: When I was buying Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, i had my PRISTINE copy of Call of Duty 4 with me. I don’t know about you, but I keep the delicate plastic sleeves of the cases even micro scratch free. I knew they’d offer me pennies on the dollar, but I wanted to test them. They said oh you can get $1.50 for it. WTF??#$#$# I wanted to rip out the cashiers throat at the time.

I mean they have a USED copy that looks like a dog ate it and vomited it up for $37.99, which is 3000% more than offer people. So in turn they don’t even care how good the condition is ,”#1.50 they offer” I turned it to Amazon.com and sold my well cared for $22 and my also very pristine copy of Metal gear solid 4 for $20.99. LOL the next day MGs4 went “greatest hits” and went to 19.99 new. So I made out.
