28 Reasons I Don’t Shop at GameStop
If your store needs a 5 page long confession including tips on how to properly shop there, something is wrong. I’d rather just waltz into Best Buy and get what I want, or if it isn’t an impulse buy, get it online.
In reality though, I don’t trust other people to take care of their discs, so used copies don’t hold much interest for me. I’m certainly not willing to buy a used copy to save a meager $5 off of the new price.
Tips 21 and 22 are pretty good, but I would change them to “Don’t buy third-party peripherals ever.” I worked at an independent used game store through high school. The third-party stuff always feels cheap and breaks quickly.

Employees can take home shrinkwrapped titles, and then put that back on the shelf selling it at retail price? Absurd!
