Just got back from trading in games for the first time ever. They were just games that had been sitting around and I had no interest in playing.
First was Madden '08 for the X-Box. I waited too long and it dropped from $10 to $9, but hey... I got it for free from Pepsi last winter (and a free Eagles cap) and it was way too confusing for me to even try anything besides some running back camps with Westbrook.
Then I traded in some Dragon Ball-Z game for the GBA since they gave me $1.50 for it. I only bought it because some kid was selling it for .50 along with Quad Fury.
So I was up $10 in store credit.
I then turned around and bought Def Jam: Fight For New York as I dug playing it at my friends when he rented it along with Amped 2 ($1.99) and the Midway Arcade Treasures 2. (Rampage World Tour? HELLZ YEAH) I really need to get the first one now as well, though.

I've been tempted to pick up some blu-ray this way but the selection is usually pretty scant. Too bad they don't do this online also. Their dvds are buy 2 get 3 free... I picked up: Fantasic Four Daredevil: The Directors Cut Star Wars: Clone Wars vol. 1 & 2 Fever Pitch (for my wife)

I love stupid GameStop employees. I went to trade in PGR4, which got about 30 bucks. The guy gives me my money, AND the game back. This happened 2 other times. With the same game. Wow.

As someone who used to be a Gamestop employee (worked at an EB during the time the Wii came out)...I can easily say that the company is run by morons.
The manager at the time I was there had the mentality of a college frat boy.

The manager at the time I was there had the mentality of a college frat boy. Our District Manager right now is completely daft. She knows next to nothing about anything we sell. For example, she had asked me what game coming out soon I'm most looking forward to. I responded "GRID" ans she asks, "Oh, that new shooter game?" I said "No, it's a racing game." It was also funny listening to my manager's story about how he had to explain the Soulja Boy song to her because she had said her 2 kids love that song (her kids are both under 12). Manager: "Do you even know what 'Superman that hoe' means?" Her: "What? They say that in that song?"

i loathe gamestop employees... you can in to buy a game and they gotta be like "Well would u like to preorder anything".... and im always like no thank you...."Well this game is going to be awesome you better preorder it"..and i always reply, no thank you, i dont want to pre order anything and im not into games like that
"WELL YOU BETTER ORDER IT CAUSE I WILL LOVE IT".... f*** them
I also cant stand how they act like they are the only place in the world that has games..."O well you wont be able to get it if u dont preorder it first from here"....which sometimes they do sell out of games, but theres a damn walmart next door which always has copies
f*** them

Might be total dorks(excluding my awesomeness of course), but everyone's smart and knows most of the material. The one down the city is full of dickheads.

Thank you. All I do is ask once. If they say "no" I won't press the issue. My store has gotten a few compliments from regulars saying we're less "pushy" than other GameStops, yet we do good in our preorder numbers. Many GameStop stores are hit-and-miss as to how the customer service is. I'll admit, most of them suck (I've been a victim of crappy customer service myself multiple times, but never a perpetrator .

HELLZ YEAH) I really need to get the first one now as well, though. I have 1 and 2 now. I got Midway Arcade Treasures 2 first a few years ago though. I remember skipping class for about 3 days to go to the store, pick that up and play it. It's ok, I was passing the class with flying colors anyway. I just had to get my hands on an arcade perfect version of Mortal Kombat 2. Midway Arcade Treasures 1 has Paperboy on it! Paperboy!! Seriously, go get it, now.

I must've missed the funny part.
Also, I would hate to see how fast gamers would run a company into the ground.
