Gamestop Making a Move in the RIGHT Direction?

[garagesaleking!!]

thank god its about time, now dumb people wont just throw away their cases and manuals anymore and need to keep them if they ever wanna trade the games in.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Nice move on their part. I approve.

As far as used games, you still won't find a better deal for case & manual condition than Gamefly.

They gut their games of the case & manual for mail-out rental, and when you buy a used one they guarantee that it's sent out with that factory fresh, never been touched (other than the gutting and storage) case & manual which has been in storage while the game has done the rounds in the mail.

Every PS3, Wii and 360 game I've bought from them have had a perfect condition case/manual.

ya gamefly has badass deals, this just in general i think will make more people keep their games complete.

"Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP"

No PS2? Blargh.

I was pretty bummed to see the name of that link and then not link to an announcement that Pogs were back and EB was going to sell them.

I still have two tubes of POGs in my closet complete with my favorite slammers. It's going to come back someday!

OT, good marketing move actually trying to get some higher customer approval for a change. I wonder if the "Love" concept will vary from store to store.

[Therealqtip]

Well that kind of sucks if I have a game with no manual or something BECAUSE of gamestop.

[TonyTheTiger]

Technically, you have no manual because of the person who traded the game TO GameStop.

[HappehLemons]

Game is packed with love

awesome

No PS2? Blargh.

Probably too late in the system's life cycle to guarentee that.

I think Gamestop can do better than that. For every trade-in, deduct the trade in value if the games does not come with complete package. That way people will start to becareful with their games.

[GarrettCRW]

This is a measure to prevent stores from accepting stolen games, I suspect.

NM wrong topic... Damn, that hasn't happened to me in a long while.

They could, but it wouldn't make that much of a difference. They give much less for scratched/damaged games, but people still don't take care of them.

I don't know, sounds like they'll probably redirect complete games to the online store and make it even more impossible to find a complete game in the brick and mortars. I've personally never used the online store to buy anything used. I figure if I'm already buying online, I may as well go to eBay where I can know if I'm getting all the packaging, see an actual picture of what I'm getting, and likely get a better deal. And the one time I used Gamestop.com to order something new, that ended up being a complete disaster too.

[Poofta!]

Took them long enough.

seriously. i havent bought anything from gamestop's website used in over 5 years because of this. i like my games complete? mmkay? the ONLY time i made a used game order was when i need a disk to complete my copy of Megaman x6 for psx, interestingly enough, it arrived complete and mint lol.

anyway, now i can commence ordering the odd game from them now and then.
