ICO was selling for $4.99 a year or two ago, now is $34.99 at Gamestop
They are vultures.

Its simple supply and demand. Free market system at its best. No reason to be mad at Gamestop!

I'm always mad at gamestop. They bug you when enter the store, like if they have to see your face and what game are you looking for. Why can't I just browse through games to see what other games I may have interest or just forgotten. It not like I can steal from gamestop considering they there no games on shelf only at the register and their backdoor. Need for Speed hot pursuit Ps2 went up in price, I thought it was dirt cheap now. Gamestop is like becoming Starbucks. I hate Starbucks and I can't believe their drinks are expensive just for one.

You're right, they have the right to behave this way. But at the same time, as a consumer who's not entirely thrilled with the company's behavior, I have the right to take my business elsewhere and criticize their policies.

My other biggest complain with gamestop is the used games. It feels like a maze finding what you want.

Exactly. I'm tired of countless threads bitching about gamestop. They are not perfect by any means. They do many things that are just plain stupid. Instead of bitching about gamestop bring your dollars elsewhere.

Oh we do bring our dollars elsewhere, we're just hoping a few other folks read our whining and decide to take their money elsewhere as well.
