Up until last year we had 4 within a 10 min drive from my house. 3 of then were actually on the same street if you drove a lil further. They closed one last year.

Means nothing. Gamestop has over 5,000 stores worldwide. They could close two stores in every state and damn near do this. fukk em as a company but they ain't going anywhere

Original story:
Their buyback options for mobile devices are just as shytty, but I guess its better than all the BS haggling people do on craigslist. my problem with stores trying to go digital is, you cant test the product out without going in the store, it may be cheaper but you have to wait until you have already paid for it then wait a few days to get it. :manny: I am about done with trade ins tho so fukk em

complaining about gamestop's trade-in value got old 15 years ago.

they offer a service. use it or don't.

personally, i do not :mjpls:

but i'd rather see a gamestop in a strip mall than another karate studio :shaq2:


I complain because they pretty much baught out the competition. They took over on some drug dealer type shyt, there are like 4 Gamestops within 15 min of my house!! The last straw was when i went there to trade in a game, they offered me like 5 dollars for it, i went looking around and saw the same game they were offering me 5 for sale for about 30 bucks!!! From then on i dont trade my shyts in, i just keep em, and i buy alot from Amazon.

Bought FFX/X-2 HD remake from Rape Stop because it was $40 compared to $52 on Amazon which almost never happens.

Only reason I go to a brick & mortar is if I want a game day of or I have a gift card. Otherwise the better deals are usually online. Good riddance to these fukkboys tho. I hate being asked all this extra bullsh1t about preorders and subscriptions when I know exactly what I want.

I'd download more games if the sh1t would install faster.
Thats a third party on amazon.

I agree. The PS2/ GC/ X Box days of prosperity been over. More and more 3rd party companies are folding to astronomical costs of gaming budgets while more FPS games took over the Japanese RPG. Lack of diversification and the bullshyt Gamestop did is now biting them in the ass. I fear that the worst is yet to come.

Gamestop closing many of their locations is just the beginning. The chickens come home to roost and they will make sure that it will eat up all the scam shyt.
