If everything you said was applied to the Gamestops in my area (7 stores), the only thing that WOULDN'T be a lie is SOME of the statements about pricing. Yes, the Classic Collection was overpriced, but when people came to the store to buy it I told people to go get it elsewhere until our price dropped. The games being $19.99 new and used is a non-statement, as you would have to be incredibly lucky to walk into one of the stores and find a new copy anyways. It's been out of stock for about 6 months. Haven't seen a Used one in about 5, either.
And BTW it's $5 for the discount card, so after $50 in used purchases you start saving. Most gamers spend a LOT more than $50 on games in a year. Just saying.
I understand that there are a lot of horror stories about people shopping at Gamestop, but there are also lots for other stores as well. My main issue with this, and what I am seeing from the replies thus far, is that the company isn't very reputable in the United States. I apologize for calling you a liar, but some of the things you were saying ARE lies when taking ALL the stores (Canada Included) into account. It seems we do things differently here in Canada. Go ahead and bash US Gamestops, but don't just bash the company as a whole when policies are different in different countries.
Once again, sorry about the "liar" remark, but context seems to be important on this issue. Apparently VERY important. Doesn't help that I was already pissed off at something else when I wrote that post.
@Old8oy - Personally, our employees have to abide by Street Dates. I couldn't even crack open my OoT for 3DS when I was on break. I had to wait and buy my copy on Sunday when it came out. And I know about the new release games because I buy a lot of them. I have 6 games pre-ordered for next month alone.
