Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[TEKTORO]

Okay now im slightly impressed and particularly confused,

Gamestops Power Up Rewards now has a Retro Games Vault!?
Where you save up your points to get some old school Atari,Nes,Snes and I even think I saw Coleco games in there too.

But anyways now can you see my confusion

PS Those Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street Pint Glasses are PIMP as hell

Yeah, that's pretty freaking awesome! But they cost soooooo many points. I'm not sure what you're confused about though.

I also only see 3 SNES games, and 3 NES games: Spy Hunter, 1942, and Mario Bros. (original) on NES, and Super Star Wars, Killer Instinct, and Mortal Kombat on SNES.

There are a bunch more under Coming Soon.
Im confused to as why they decide to do this and if the games are reprints or old stock?

And I wouldnt spend my points for any of them but a cool incentive non the less.

I'm pretty sure every retail store has a similar policy man.

EDIT: for instance Amazon's policy...

Computer and video games purchased from Amazon.com and most sellers are easily returned within 30 days of receipt of shipment. These items must be unopened and still in their plastic wrap.

and after 30 days

Been holding on to something past its return date? You can sell it online at Amazon.com! To list a book, CD, cassette, DVD, video, or video game for sale, find its exact match on our site and click the "Sell yours here" button. It's easy.

Indeed, some places it is 15 days. Why did you sit on it for a month?

Yeah, seriously - i've got a ton of sealed stuff - alot of us do. But Vlame, w/your logic - you buy a game, hold it as long as you like - if it goes up in value, sell on ebay - if it goes down in value, bring it back to the store? There has to be a line. For most stores, that line is 30 days.

One solution is to return it to Walmart without a receipt and get store credit.

Or just sell it yourself (Amazon, GameGavel, eBay) for a small loss.

Right, abuse the system and screw it up for honest people.

I thought mods were around to help keep threads on topic.

[mjmjr25]

Pointless / baiting comments like ^that are the reason mods get tired of being mods. You have a knack for that, Zing.

Knacks aren't always good things.
