Plus 10% off used games from GCU at BBY. The only downside with those is that inventory tends to go quickly, at least online, and my local BBY has a pretty weak selection in-store. But I still managed to load up on 6 3DS games for something like $90 total during this current Best Buy sale by managing to catch it shortly after it went live.

The only remaining advantage I can see is that GameStop will let you return used games within 7 days.. that's still their policy, right?

I would say that in store selection is by far the biggest advantage Gamestop has. There are 6 Best Buys within 15 miles of me and I have rarely seen any games that aren't shovelware or sports games at any of them. Gamestop at least has a decent selection of used games.

It is, but some cashiers will give you shit for it.

Only if you abuse the system and use their return policy like a rental program.

That's very YMMV. One of my friends "rents" games from GS on a weekly basis. No joke. Has been doing it for 2 years now. He's nice to the staff, but they're not friends so it's not like they're doing him a personal favor or turning a blind eye because they know each other. And he doesn't always get the same people so I think that store just doesn't care.

Every single week, he returns 2 games, and picks up 2 other games. Uses it to pad his gamerscore. Almost at 200k now after doing this for 2 years. Meanwhile, I feel guilty returning a brand new game that I only preordered to get the 30% TIV bonus....
