Gamestop is not that bad if you are careful with what you buy from them. You can stop yourself from getting "newsed" (last copy display case games) games if you simply refuse to buy them. Of course that only applies for you as it seems that most game buyers going to GS have no issue with such things.

As for me I'm more of a clearance game buyer and always have been. I can count on one hand the number of titles I've bought at launch in these past two gens. Everything else has been clearance or otherwise low price buys from Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Target, Toys R Us, Gamestop and a bunch of Amazon Warehouse Deals pre-owned stuff. Couple those with the former Gamer's Club Unlocked coupons from Best Buy's now defunct program and that was at one point another good place to grab cheap stuff.

There's far, far too many deal sites out there that you can check on to find deals on these things to ever end up paying full price or putting up with the policies of companies which have NO reason to change them due to so many of their customers just not giving a damn how their products they buy look.

I'm not loyal to any company or brand, especially the Cult Of Houser(GTA games) or Sony(PS3/PS4/etc). Defending corporations is absurd.
