This is not a "Gamestop sucks" rant... most of us are well aware of the many shitty policies courtesy of the corporate parent. We don't have any independent shops in my area so I'm pretty much stuck with Gamestop. Plus most of the employees that I have encountered (lately) have been great.

The bad...

More and more Gamestops are ditching the boxes for NDS games. Great. Now I have discovered a Gamestop where they throw away all the boxes and instructions for the used PSP games. They were still selling boxed (and evidentially sealed) games... but you have to look at a printed list. Fail.

HOWEVER...

I was walking around said Gamestop and noticed a new strategy guide in the trashcan by the counter. I pulled it out and it was for Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. I asked the dude at the counter if they meant to trash it and why. He said the game itself was "obsolete". I asked how much and he said it was free. Sweet!

It just so happened that I bought this same game less than a week ago.
