GameStop does also sell new games, true. But very reluctantly. Any time you ask for a new game the person will suggest a used copy for $1.50 less.
why do people shop from gamestop? :S:S:S:S:S I don't understand it. I've never bought a used game that isn't at least 2/3 the original asking price.
And if the gaming industry find gamestop's policy so bad (which it is, if what I'm reading here is true), they should just sue them, OR band together and stop sending gamestop games. 2-3 high profile releases where they don't have any games to sell and they are dead.
What I find unfair, is that many other retailers that sell used games do so at a much better price (both buying the used game and selling it) and they have the used games in a completely different shelf space than the new ones. So those retailers and their clients shouldn't have to suffer because the gaming industry can't put gamestop in it's place.
As I said sue them, the used product could be inferior, isn't it a form of scamming the way they push the used games?
