[quote name='dmorr']So am I a bit slow, or do they not accept gift cards on their website? If they don't, that's pretty asinine.[/quote]
They claim they will be able to accept them online for the holiday season, but I'm pretty sure they had the same page up last year. They make more money by restricting the cards to in-store use, so even though it's crappy for consumers it makes sense for them financially.
And for the millionth time, I have ordered from GS.com many times and have always gotten complete games with no damage. It's all a matter of preference, but keep in mind that they are a major enough online retailer that they're going to guarantee your purchase as much as possible. Yes, there is a chance that you might not get a booklet or cover, but everyone has different tastes. All I care about it a disc that lets me play the game. I can't remember the last time I bothered to crack open an instruction manual.
