So the sale prices arnt even listed in store so why even browse there.

I always say im getting the game as a gift to get a sealed one and not get the protection plan and to act totally disinterested in all the offers theyre offering cause hey im just picking up a gift. So they leave me alone. It seems to work.

You dont have to feel intimidated by the employees.

Tell them you dont want what theyre selling.

I just feel bad that their whole gimmick about pro membership takes them so long to explain but I feel rude cutting them off, so I let them get through the whole thing and then I'm like "Nah"

Gamestop sucks in general. They have a big sale going on right now on "new" games, and there's a big thread on CheapAssGamers about how most of the games people are receiving are gutted - missing codes, damaged boxes, generic Gamestop cases, 'Used' stickers, etc..

Last time I was in one, was to get the Zelda game and watch. That was it.

The only time I go to Gamestop these days is to buy a new console.

That's one thing that I don't like getting sent in the mail and much prefer buying it in person.

I shopped there once like 15 years ago and never went back. Selling used games as new games is a shitty business practice.

I got 6 games from that 50-75% sale last weekend and 5 of the 6 new games were "Gamestop New" and several of them had 50 or 75% off stickers on them that leave residue when peeled off. Can't really complain too much because they were like $10 each but it's still annoying. The only one that was still sealed was the Persona 5 Royal SteelBook Edition for PS5.

I got the Far Cry 6 Ultimate Steel Book edition.

There was no steelbook and the ultimate edition code insert is missing lmfao

Fuck GameStop, they need to go out of business already.

Best Buy is still going to sell video games, they are only stopping the sale of physical movies.

I go inside every once in awhile when I'm at the mall, but I don't know when was the last time I bought something at a physical Gamestop store.

It may have been Binding of Isaac for Switch like 6 years ago.

I only check Gamestop to see if they have any interesting collectables (that aren't Funkopops)

Never buy games there

Ive never had a bad experience there and go in whenever I cant find a digital game for sale. Disgaea 6 complete for example was $40 at GS, but is still $60 on PSN.

Last time I went in one was to pick up the Majora's Mask New 3DS XL. Pretty much the only way to pick up that model was to walk into a Gamestop and order it since it sold out online in seconds.

Every month, Funcoland would put out a new leaflet that had both the buy and sell prices for shittons of games. Their upsell was printed right there, and it wasn't really that much a screwjob.

Thats good, you got lucky. Literally nothing I wanted was available within 250 miles for me and that was on the first day of the sale.
