I was just told GameStop is raising price of pro membership to $20 and you no longer save 10% on used items. Instead you get a $5 voucher each month which expires at the end of the month so you can't stack it. What sort of bullshit is that? Is this true?

I no longer shop at gamestop and haven't in years, but this is stupid if it's true.

Actually no it was just this past Saturday.

Pro Day Sale they called it. Had a ton of AAA games at really good prices. Oh well.

I heard about that and more. I think they are getting rid of the physical Game Informer magazine and only let you get the online version of it.

They'll be out of business before you know it. They're trying to make as much $ as they can before that happens. It's pretty straightforward.

what I heard is the company is already doomed and corporate knows it. they are just struggling to stay above water for as long as possible to cash out before they all go under

It's all because of digital sales. The numbers have basically flipped in the last 10-15 years. Physical sales were about 69% vs digital's 30% back then. Today digital sales are over 70% vs 20 something % physical sales.

I guess I was wrong in saying 10-15 years wnen it was 2009 and I was quoting the 2010 stats as the starting stats of 69% - 31%, when it was 80%-20% and it's now 20%-80%. Physical-digital sales respectively.

I liked EB Games more than Gamestop. It's a shame that after the merger, they got rid of all the EBs in the US.

Same here.I went to the cookout at EBGames during the GTA San Andreas release in Dallas.

They struggling enough as is.

It's just going to get worse and worse. PlayStation Now, EA Access and Game Pass is going to get more and more popular.

The hardware launches next year might give them some life support but I have no idea what else they can really do to stay afloat. It's like having a retail chain dedicated to just selling DVD's. Sure people still buy them but you're certainly not going to have any growth from it.

The only reason I ever go in there anymore is to pick the carrion out of the clearance section, so a flat $5 coupon each month is pretty cool.
