I'm going to help you out a bit here...you don't need to put the "CODE" tag around YouTube videos. Just post the embeded code right in your post.

Re: How Gamestop is Ripping you off

I don't need YouTube videos to know how Gamestop is ripping people off.

I used to work there.

Re: How Gamestop is Ripping you off

Dont know if i got it all or not but that post sucked and embedding the code in that way probably turned everybody off from the thread.

Re: How Gamestop is Ripping you off

I actually recently got screwed by gamestop. At the end of my purchase they signed me up for something called reservation rewards without telling me. Each month they try to take $12 for you for a "subscription" fee when you don't even know what it is. I saw it on my statement and called the reservation rewards place. They gave me a refund, but it is a major scam.

Was that via their website? Same thing happened to me too - cancelled and got a refund.

It's simple.....places that won't price match or price beat, blow.

Re: How Gamestop is Ripping you off

This is why EA and Sony team up to make games downloadable to reduce shelf space and not get ripped off from used games. It started with Head coach and the next game is burn out paradise.

But then you are stuck with the game, can never sell it or trade it in. I hate that movement.

I feel, if you are a gamer and you want the industry to thrive, you shouldn't want the developer and publisher to be cut off at the knees. I don't mind them putting games up for DL after being on the shelf for a period of time and not selling. Put it in the store at a reduce price to under cut these bastards.

Re: How Gamestop is Ripping you off

im not watching 40 minutes of videos, but is the first one just saying that they are "ripping you off" because people are too stupid to do math and dont spend the time to look for better prices elsewhere?

Then the majority of games that are average, or rentals at best shouldn't cost $60. I'm fine with buying excellent games at $60, or even downloading to own. However, to assume that everyone that buys used games from gamestop are horrible people is wrong, as the thought that a game bought used from Gamestop is a lost sale for a developer is wrong. They're different consumers who obviously don't want to, or most likely can't, enjoy gaming for $60 a pop. There's nothing really wrong with wanting to then trade that game in towards another.

It just sucks that the only real options for trading off a game are gamestop, or ebay...with gamestop being the obviously easier and more convenient choice for most.
