Go GameStop! Whoever thought of this is a genius and I bet real modest, too. ;-)

Hey Darkslime, Sounds like a reasonable request. ;) Having worked for EB/GS for a few decades, I would admit to running into an occasional bad egg, but the folks at my local GameStop are very friendly and helpful. Can't speak for yours, but the guys and gals at my local GS are great. I...

Trikip, March 22 is a Sunday. IMHO, your best best is to pre-order online at GameStop.com and pick up in your local store. Disclaimer: I work for said GameStop and might be a bit biased. ;-) Best, Retro

Hey Cheapest, Good to hear from you again! The "it'll come complete" coupon is under development and will be available soon. Feel free to make as many Photoshop copies of this coupon as you like. ;) Hope you have a better weekend! Warm Regards, Retro

Hi Emie, Ooops! The SAVER coupon expired. This has been corrected. Thanks for the heads up. Best Regards, Retro

Hi All, Correct. Edge Members receive a 10% discount on used games, used accessories and strategy guides. Members also receive a 10% bonus trade credit on games and accessories. I'll make sure GameStop.com is updated with the correct information. Thanks for the heads up. Best, Retro

Guardian, This is another teeth gnasher. We actually removed this feature last year as it was causing some unintended harm. The rarer the game, the bigger the problem. What happened was thousands of folks would sign up to be notified on individual rare games, while we typically only receive...

Hey Rainking, Ooops, that's not right. Our system is always supposed to notify you when an order is cancelled. Shoot me your order number via a private message and I will ask our merchandisers to research the issue so this doesn't happen again. Thanks for the heads up. Best, Retro

Yeah, providing both quality types online would be an issue. We use the manufacturer UPC as the primary identifier and when there are two different SKUs for the same UPC our fulfillment/return process starts to fall apart. Best we will be able to do online in the medium term is to filter out...

Hi JT, Thanks for the feedback. We agree completely and understand this is our biggest problem to fix. Our plan is to guarantee boxes and instructions for all next-gen product starting in Spring 2009. We unfortunatly don't have a way to keep our used inventory separate from the store...

All, A little off-topic, but what content source would you prefer we include on the site for the full-text professional reviews/previews? Do you like IGN, GameSpot or GameInformer content better? Why or why not? Our access to GameInformer content is currently limited, but they've been adding...

Hey Public, Yeah, we gnash our teeth over this one quite a bit. Ultimately, we decided that we really want people to read the body of the professional and customer generated reviews/ratings, which focus on specific features and benefits, as opposed to just relying on a score and potentially...

Guardian, Cool idea--wish we had more space for another databox, without adding another row. I can get you there in two clicks though. Option 1: Click the used tab found in the top navigation bar and then click the "Shop all used games" link. The results will be displayed in bestseller...

Hi All, Everyone agree? Adding this setting to the long-term cookie would be doable and we might even be able to get this change in this year. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for the feedback, Kain! Best, Retro

Hey Demolition, But why stop there... How about a site-wide pop-up for a lifetime Madden subscription? Then you'll NEVER have to worry about us running out or miss out on the amazing "Madden for gerbils" feature to be announced in 2025. Heck, we'll even deliver copies to you after you're dead...
