The only thing this doesn't apply to is brand new games which is what the poll is talking about. Because for most people, it's not the most convenient place. Granted, some people by pure odds live closer to a GameStop than a Retail Department store or a Best Buy or an independent game store, but not that many people. Some large chunk of voters are in effect saying that they would go out of their way to pick up a game at GameStop than a more convenient option for the same price.

Haguile 01/15/12 11:28:00 PM #40:	From: thundersheep \| Posted: 1/16/2012 2:14:20 AM \| #033 I just haven't noticed any of the things that people usually complain about with GameStop when shopping there, except for the whole used games thing. But I never buy used unless it's a rare old game anyways. I haven't noticed either, that's why I'm asking! I buy stuff from EB pretty often and I never really had an issue with them. So when people complain about it, I just...don't understand. Unless gamestop and EB games are different for reasons no mortal man is allowed to know. <cite>Haguile posted [p:672771] in Seriously ...

Naomi_Diamond 01/15/12 11:29:00 PM #41:	Generally speaking, I'd wait for a sale. If it's a must-have game for me (every other year), I'd probably go to GameStop. However, in some special cases, I shop from Amazon instead. Like tonight - I pre-ordered ME3 from Amazon because I won't have direct transportation to a GameStop when it comes out, so having it shipped to my house is nicer. And, although I think GameStop can ship games too, I'd prefer Amazon for that stuff. -- ziggie ziggie wop wop <cite>Naomi_Diamond posted [p:672772] in Seriously ...

MrSmartGuy 01/16/12 1:18:00 AM #43:	I used to know the manager until.... he went somewhere. All I know is that the new manager is a guy my age that I've had classes with at ESU. Any time I go in there, we chat about stuff. Sometimes I spend an hour in there, just talking about games. -- Xbox GT/PSN name: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:672774] in Seriously ...

ViviffTheMobile 01/16/12 1:26:00 AM #45:	I try not to support GameStop, but like when I tried to go to Target to get UMvC3, they didn't have it, hadn't heard of it, and continually tried to sell me "Marvel Superhero Squad". Once in a while it's that kind of thing that bites other retailers in the ass, and forces me toward the game store monopoly.

KJH 01/16/12 2:06:00 AM #48:	Well, new games are almost always the same price on amazon, and used games or older niche games generally cost about as much at Gamestop as they do on Amazon. Beats stuff like Best Buy by a huge margin most of the time. Best Buy wanted $40 for El Shaddai plus shipping since they didn't have it in stock. Gamestop had a brand new copy already there for $20. -- I have no idea who you are, but I thank you for arousing me. - Beruga Brawl FC: 3823-8243-5663 <cite>KJH posted [p:672779] in Seriously ...
