It's now all about the Benjamin's and it's all about the fact that so many thieves were selling stolen merchandise.
I personally got burned once doing a trade in where I traded in a popular game and got $0.25 for it. Thanks GameStop. Now of course my dumb ass keeps wandering over there because it has a used game section and I can use my card, yes I've been suckered into getting the magazine, and get the discount (which actually puts the games at a price where they should be).
My true beef is their definition of new. I can't see how I have to pay full price for a game that may not have ever been played but is out of the case and has to be inserted back in for me to purchase. As soon as the seal is broken, to me that's a used game. Of course to GameStop as soon as the game leaves the store no matter what, its a used game if you try to return it.

Because that is pretty much a requirement to purchase a used game in Gamestop these days.
WTF Gamestop. Why did you have to buy EB with your evil money and seep hatred and dispair into it's soul?!?
I remember the glory days of entering an EB to get a respectable $35 credit for a popular new release game trade in($50.00 NEW at those times you young whipper snappers). The cherry on top of that $35.00 credit sundae was the $40.00 or less used game pricing for new releases.
Fast forward through a few trubulant years of corporate takeovers, sorry I meant "friendly" mergers...............
The arrival of Ganondor.........eh I mean Gamestop is here. First a competitor and now the overlord. Let's see what this world is like now shall we.............
Skit based on real events. All likenesses between Gamestop and an evil overlord of the dead are in fact the true believe of the author, but for legal purposess are only allegedly true.
The German : Hey Mr. Gamestop, how much store credit may I have for my 2 day old copy of Gears of War 2?
Gamestop: MUWAHAHAHAHA WELL WELL WELL WHAT HAVE WE HERE? I DONT SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A MEMBERSHIP CARD WITH MANDATORY GAMESTOP MAGAZIN.......EH....I MEAN OUR ADVERTISING FLYER.....DAMN THIS IS HARD............ I REALLY MEANT GAMEINFORMER MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION DO YOU? DIDNT THINK SO, DONT WORRY WE CAN TAKE THAT SUPER LOW $15.00 FEE RIGHT OUT OF YOUR $15.00 STORE CREDIT FOR GEARS 2.
The German: But it's only 2 days old. With Book, Case and 0 scratches!
Gamestop: YOU HAVE A VALID POINT MOST "VALUED" CONSUMER......HAHAHAHA.....TELL YOU WHAT. WHY DON'T I CUT YOU A KILLER DEAL ON SOME NEW RELEASE USED GAMES?
The German: Wow that would be cool! Thanks! I know just what I want too!
Gamestop: GOOD.......GOOD.........EXCELLENT! *SCAN - BEEP*.........THAT WILL BE $55.00 PLUS TAX!
