Home Depot or major Hardware, paint stores. I like Liftoff 2 better then Goo Gone, personal preference.

Now see, never turn a video game collector loose in a retail store selling video games, keeps buying and buying .........

Glad you got that writing out, didn't belong to that kid anymore anyways.

Having a bitch of a time with that sticker on Chip N Dale :evil: :twisted:

EDIT: Man that took a lot of work. I ended up getting frustrated and scratching what was left off with a nickle. I did more damage then i would have liked :cry: . There is some light scratching that you can't really see in the pic.

+1 for cleanliness and trying to keep your stuff all neat and tidy. I'm that way too.

If you are a purist or maybe OCD like me set of colored pencils, really I do this!

Black sharpie works great on glossy ps2 price tag tears.

Don't you hate Gamestop yellow stickers? What a pain to clean. Why plaster so many, for used games cover the bar code only. Even on new games instead of white Gamestop UPC sticker why not just use existing bar code. At least they quit putting that goofy clear round game case tape years ago. I think the meaning was if the seal was broke you couldn't return the game. Didn't make sense, if game was defective. Whenever I bought a game, the store associate would try slap one of those stupid hard to clean glue case closure stickers. Over my loud OCD Game Collector protests, they would relent stating no refund. Didn't plan on refund thats why I'm buying the game! At least now a lot more liberal, on used games you have 7 days to try and refund. Handy when one loses track of which games owned already.

Yes, I hate the stickers. Gamestop is handy but some of the crap they pull makes you wonder.

You'll feel good about this then:

Starting in April GameStop will no longer be stickering games on their spines due to the overwhelmingly negative response to the practice.

Finally people can be a little less pissed off at GS and I'll stop getting in trouble for not stickering spines on anything but sports games. :D

THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU! (paste 100 more times)

Easier for Gamestop Employees too.
Okay, I'll bite, why Sports games, not your favorite Genre?
