My sentiments entirely. I'm absolutely never in the store other than to use the $5 coupon (if I remember)...the place just sickens me.

I think most adults are capable of caring for stuff, but a lot of things take precedent in life over the care of less important things. (i.e. a game is more useful than the original container it came in) Things get lost and damaged in life, and when it comes to games, the case is the first...

Ending World Hunger...or Games with Original Cases. 🤔

I made quite a few phone calls about this issue. I was ultimately told that I could not trade in a non-working system, as to accept the PS5, they have to be able to turn on the unit. I did not try actually trading it in, so it may be possible. In the end, I bought an HDMI repair off of EBay...

Their website is a complete mess. Was trying to find the PS5 trade in bonus listed anywhere, and never could find anything about it. Glad I walked into the store and found the signage. Traded in two OG PS5s (one had the HDMI repaired through EBay) and walked out after a couple trade-ins with...

Is the $25 bonus on PS5 trades still valid? Not seeing it on the website.

The signs have been bad for Gamestop for about a decade now. They've an antiquated business and their attempts to restructure have only hurt the business even more. Their pivot towards filling the stores with cheap toys has damaged their brand in all of my friends' minds. None of us have a...

You must've missed the piece of tape that they placed over the edge of your case. Clearly your copy has been opened!

It's definitely financially worth it, depending on what you buy. I just have no interest in monitoring my Gamestop account to ensure that I've physically walked into the store every month, just to save $5 on a pack of cards, or something else minor. The increased shipping cost/minimum purchase...

Went in last week and was told my membership was expiring. My rejection was met with silence. I think this will ultimately start a downward spiral that the company isn't likely to pull themselves out of. The employees know a $25 membership is an impossible sell, and that's a LOT of lost...

That sounds awful!

Does anyone know if these promotions will overlap with the current $50 Extra Trade Credit on new systems traded in and the 10% extra with Pro. Specifically hoping to add another extra 10% Pro Trade Credit...as that would be awesome for ditching my wife's broken PS5.

It never fails, it takes about 2-5 minutes every time they sucker me into browsing their website, before I'm so frustrated with it that I just refuse to buy anything.

I'll still go into Gamestop going forward, but I'm also completely disgusted by the recent changes. Stupidly decided to exchange points for the $10 Digital credit over the weekend. Didn't want to spend much...but then noticed the shipping charge. I thought I had figured out a way around it by...
