Only unemployed people shop at GameStop because they trade old games for new ones.

Maybe normal people don't hilariously overreact to being asked if they'd like to buy things in a retail establishment, and just shop there because they want to.

But, I've seen moms in GameStop, recently. Some of them even wearing scrubs.

It's a very lucrative work field.

Because they have what I want and it's nice and simple. Walmart or Target I have to walk all the way to the back of the store, wait for someone to unlock the case and then ring it up. And then walk all the way back and leave the store and then all the way to my car.

GameStop...... Park right out front, walk in, can I get this, the new one please, yup, no thanks, awesome have a good day. And done.

The only other option in my city to buy games is Wal-Mart, so I'd rather go to gamestop where it's usually not full of people and I can quickly get my game and leave.

Also I only buy 3DS games as the rest of games I buy digitally. It's just the 3DS doesn't have great storage for me to want to switch to only digital on 3DS.

This. I rarely keeps games after I've played the crap out of them so why not trade them in and pay less for some games?!

The past year or so Amazon has fucked me over with preorders. Not my first choice for games but it's the most reliable. Helps that the staff at my local one is decent, not too pushy but also like to BS about games and show an interest in the stuff I buy. That being said I go there maybe every 2 or 3 months.

I don't have a credit/debit card yet so I still have to go to a store with cards for Steam/PSN/whatever else. Gamestop is the only one that will always have it though.

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long

Because it's a shop. If Target, Walmart, or any other store in the mall I go to don't have the games I want, then GameStop is my next priority. I just say no to all their shenanigans like any reasonable person would, give them the money, and then leave.

I don't really like waiting for online purchases to arrive, every online pre-order I've ever had took at least 2 weeks after release date to arrive. Or I could just drive 15 minutes to GameStop and have it day 1. Plus, it's located in the only shopping center in this area, which is where I get my groceries from, so it's not even out of the way. The employees are nice, and don't try to push anything on the regular customers. They even sometimes give away extra stuff, I've come out with posters and extras that were supposed to be pre-order only, but they had extras so they gave them to me.

I've only had a couple minor issues, I once bought a used game, but they put the wrong game in the case and I didn't realize it. Another time they gave me cross platform game for the wrong console, but that was fixed right away. I went to buy one game, and even though the case was on the shelf, they were out of stock and then the employee misinformed me to buy a different game, but I think he truly did have it confused with another one.

How much did you end up buying? According to the poll she was certainly upselling.

For people who trade in, very often you can get better value trading in on amazon. Even if the cash value on Amazon is slightly less than the credit value at gamestop (which is often not the case), you make up that value by the games very often being cheaper new than they are used at gamestop

The onky thing I've bought from Gamestop in tge past year was the Alm and Celica amiibo set and only thrn because I had preordered it early on.

I haven't gotten games as gifts from family members that they bought from Gamestop though. The couple times they get a copy that doesn't have it's original case is pretty annoying. Having to see those ugly generic cases...

I go there to browse cheap, used games I've missed out on. Only place in town that carries used games and there really isn't a good system online for browsing used games you haven't played yet (you generally have to already want it and search for it).

Also, being a small town, I know all the workers so it's fun to talk about games and upcoming releases and such since my closer friend circle nowadays aren't gamers.
