Used games have no guarantee of coming with anything except the game itself, so keep that in mind. |

I'm sure there are multiple threads in which this is already discussed at length, but I'll give you a brief rundown of the pros and cons of Gamestop. Pros: - They have ample stock, so provided you're looking for a current-gen game that's easy to come by, they're unlikely to be out of stock. - Convenience. Gamestop/EB Games is a huge chain with locations all over the place. Unless you live out in the boondocks, you should easily be able to find one. - Occasional sales, such as "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" are a good value. Cons: - They usually discount used games $5 below full retail, which isn't a good value. - Titles sold as "New" are often opened and the cases usually have stickers on them. - Gamestop covers game case with stickers; front, back and spine. Very annoying. - As KingJames pointed out, used games aren't guaranteed to come with manuals and cover art. |

My GS is ginr. Depends on who works were. But they are also crazy about stickers which on some cases will piss you off. Ases aren't always in great shape but they're fine. |

I would like to thank all of you for taking some time to help me out :). I decided to buy the game from there, cause it sounds like it's safe enough, from what you guys say :o)

I never have an awful expierence at gamestop, but the employees don't care about you at all. I've only been to one or two that the service was really bad but usually it's alright. My recent poor quality expierence was when I went to pick up my 3DS. I pre-ordered the black one awhile back so I came to pick it up. The guy scans the blue one and I politely say, "Excuse me, I ordered the black one." The man gives a death stare look and goes, " No you ordered the blue one." With the most monotone voice ever. I kept saying I ordered the black one and eventually he gave up I guess. Then, he doesn't say anything else. I pay and then leave. When I write my story it doesn't sound too bad but I guess if you saw it in person and heard his voice you'd understand. I usually get OK service at that place but this one frickin' dude pissed me off. |

The EB Games near me is hit and miss Pros - A couple decent people to talk to - I get promo codes and beta codes since I go in there enough Cons - Manager is a huge dick - Most employees know very little about games - Selection is crap and used games are in poor condition - No strategy guides - Pre-order bonuses do not come with the games I would shop online but alas I have no credit card |

I am pretty much hating on Gamestop. But it was because of an experience I had. For a few weeks I had been seeing a copy of Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force 3 there used for 17.99 and every week I would keep seeing it until I finally bought it (the game was not released in the US). Not even five seconds after exiting the store I realize it had a copy of Tag Force 2 inside. So I went back in to see if by some chance they put the wrong game in. No. They were just selling Tag Force 2 in a 3 case. Quite annoying. |

It is the best store of all time. Customer service is immaculate and they are always professional. |

It's only good if you have a guy that actually know what the difference between the Ataris 2600 5200 7800 are look the more nerdy the clerk is the more service you will get but if they are like "G4" gamers then they suck |

I wouldn't say the more nerdy they look the more they know about games. One of my neighbors knows a ton about games and doesn't look nerdy at all. |

different experience for me then cause i had this one guy who looks almost like Keith Apicary and he knows his stuff and there is a guy that all he plays is halo cod and racing games but I guess because maybe your right as well because my brother does not come off as a gamer and he has a pretty big collection of ps3 and genesis games so maybe not the look but the way they talk perhaps |

Generally speaking most people who play Call of Duty don't know anything about games from my experience |
