  • @siekiersk Since game stop is huge, hundreds of thousands to MILLIONS of used copies of a game will be sold within its launch window. This is a huge problem because that's the time when the game is mainly selling and if that many people are buying used the devs lose a rediculous amount of money to Game stop. Money that couldve been used towards making another great game. If gamestop waited for a few months to take the trade-ins or to sell them it would be all good but theyre not.

  • GREEDY bastards want more money. no other industry in the world tries to make money off something they have all ready sold car company's don't tell used cars dealerships that there losing money cause people are buying used cars. that car company has all ready sold that car and made its profit. what about eBay and Craigslist lets shut them down to right, if you want something go buy it new so the manufacturer can get payed right. no cause those used products have all ready been pay for too.

  • The Fifth Element, yay!

  • ok i pre-ordered MW3 and i was told i was going to get a poster with MW3 if i pre-ordered it well i did and when the game came out i never got it what do you think happened

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know what gamestop you've been going to and I haven't heard of anything about this lawsuit. I am a SGA or third key at Gamestop and it actually work's the exact opposite. When we ring up a copy of a used cop of a game, battlefield 3 for instance, we get a prompt from our POS informing us to inform the customer that this "exclusive" content or online pass has been used and they must purchase the game new or purchase the content seprate from the game to use it.

  • Gamestop only cares bout the money they make and not d consumers. They like 2 be sneaky and dishonest

  • it's just like what microsoft is rumored for the xbox 720...and a game developer came out and said that they want that for the 720...more greedy bastards

  • Well now that you made the point of the "online spot" already being paid for, I'm slightly torn. From that point of view alone it makes the developers seem TOTALLY greedy but when you think about what's really going on you see they are indeed losing money. Gamestop usually only take trade-ins of the newest games toward getting another new game "cheap". Then they go sell that game for $55 when it just launched thus causing the devs to lose money. So the devs aren't being too greedy in the end.

  • @oEXTRA ya but in order to trade in a game its has to of been bought new at some point so the developers have already made there profit from that game. its now second hand why should the developer make there money twice just cause its been sold again. they have sold it its no longer there's. It's yours and if you want you could just cut out game stop an sell it on your own and make all the money for your self. game stop is just a middle man you don't need them they just make it easy.

  • They should tell you at the counter EA games need to be bought brand new.

  • 5th elements XD

    

  • i know that if theres a code or if its game of the year for a used game they USUALLY dont work, u shouldn't pay extra, but onetime i bought cod 4 6 months back for 17.99 it was the GotY and the code was there i thought to try it, and it worked, if you ever get the same thing, try it! just TRYIT!

  • I don't ever remember Gamestop telling me that the exclusive content would come in a pre-owned game. A matter of fact every time I buy a used game that came with exclusive content when it was released, they inform me I will have to get the content from the PSN or XBOX Live. Case in point: Battlefield 3. I have over heard dumbass customers griping about having to pay for multiplayer in Battlefield 3. However I've heard GS employees tell customers that if they but pre-owned they have to pay.

  • You know what im gonna Sly Cooper take jizz under the disk and give it back and tell them its defective. Well see who's laughing then! XD

  • A way to get back at gamestop is NEVER buy new games unless you know for a fact your keeping the game, if not ALWAYS buy used games because within a week you can return it for your FULL money back and re buy it again for an extra week to play and still get your FULL money back within a week your pretty much abusing their system ;)

  • Comment removed

  • This is about console games. For PC games, there are various websites where you can get new games like MW3 and BF3 for $25.

  • Lol @ gamestop.

    Amazon is where it's at.

    Free shipping + no tax ordering from cali.

    New games are 59.99 FLAT.

  • The way they are loosing money is that the people who buy used games aren't going to buy new games, therefore if someone didn't buy a used one he could have bought a new one... thus giving the publisher money.

    Still, they make enough money as it is, they should just stfu.

  • GameStop Sucks

  • well, not necassarily. someone buys a new game, make 200 illegal copies and black markets them. without that code, none of the copies will work. where as if they went and bought a legit copy, then they have the code. so in a sense, the could be losing money by allowing the use of a non-new game.

  • GAMESTOP YOU FUCK FACE RICH SELFISH SON OF A BITCH SUCKING CUNT FUCK WHORE ASSHOLEssss, luckily my gamestop area and the employee are good people...HOPEFULLY!! and I hate the NEW game that are fucking OPEN!!!! I MEAN, FUCKING GAMESTOP, ATLEAST DON'T OPEN THE FUCKING NEW SEALED CASED GAME AND PLACE THE CD IN THE ANOTHER CASE, JUST SHOVE IT IN THE BACK ROOM YOU BITCH ASS FUCKING TARD!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

  • @brandonjasengnou01 You're an idiot that can't even form a coherent sentence. Stop pretending like you know what is going on at gamestop.

  • @AdoreYouInAshXI Wow, you serious? go get a life and stop looking through comment you dumb idiot. Oh and your an idiot for even bringing this up because I don't care! DO YOU UNDERSTAND SIR?

  • @brandonjasengnou01 Lol, gotta love the idiots that can't even use the proper "you're". Also if you don't care you wouldn't have responded. Spend less time making yourself like a fucking twat on youtube and more time learning some basic grammar and maybe people won't think YOU'RE such a worthless piece of shit.

  • @AdoreYouInAshXI oh no wonder your a dumbshit, you have nothing better to do but talk shit. GREAT JOB, YOUR ONE BIG ASSHOLE. NO COMMENT FOR YOUR SHITLESS ATTITUDE. :D

  • @brandonjasengnou01 Lolol... still can't spell it right even after I point it out for you? Shitless attitude? What does that mean? I don't have shit in my attitude? I'm done with you, you have as much wit and intelligence as a can of worms and you can barely speak english. You should spend less time worrying about youtube and my comments and more time learning some proper grammar and basic education.

  • @ThatRealMassacre  who gives a shit

  • i have the same computer and the same keyboard lol. (The one on the right).

  • yeah used games are evil, some games require a code to play online. Alot of games, people apparently don't know how to f'ing clean the damn disks. I dont wanna buy your fingerprinted, scratched, and disgusting used game.

  • Here is another one for ya. Gamestop empolyees have been ordered many times to remove most or all the DLC from new sealed games. I found this out from several Gs employees that are friends of mine ,and they directed me to order it online from several other source other than GS if I want the DLC to come with a new copy.

  • @7thpitbull Never had this issue with my local Gamestop. Every new game that I have purchased from them, the lasted being Skyrim (the collector's edition) , have all come with everything advertised.

  • @7thpitbull Bullshit, I'm a current employee and the only time we ever remove any pieces of paper with codes on them in new games, is when we're forced to gut new copies of games so we have display boxes on the shelves. Further, any removed pieces of paper are placed within the same sleeve the disc is placed in.

  • I have no problems with gamestop. They always remind me, that no used games come with the exclusive content.

  • ya i got saints row2 and it said you can have a ufo and there was no fucking code they are FUCKING ASS HOLES

  • Gamestop sucks!

  • black ops good hahaha that game sucks

  • i buy homefront used for $47.98 right the game new at the time was $50+(i forgot).i get home find out theres no battlecode.the battlecode is $10.00.when i bought this game no one informed me of this.i advise you people not to go to gamestop and just go on amozon.cheaper and you dont get riped off

  • This is off topic, but you should do a review of the retron 3

  • GREED!

    

  • used games only good 4 if u dont buy dlc but fuck no dlc its the best of the games

  • I only buy used ones if they are more than £5 cheaper because I'm a 1st year apprentice electrician on only £170 a week and I really can't afford to keep buying new games except when they are on offer.

  • Fifth Element!!

  • i Think theres nothing wrong with used games becuase its a better price and i think for alot of people price is a big thing

  • MW2 is still fucking 39.99 used. "USED!!!!"

  • makes sense to me....

  • Holy shit :o he looks like the vsauce2 guy

  • I support local game stores

  • well i buy my games from amazon better pre order bonuses, cheaper, same day delivery (e.t.c)

  • this talks for medal of honor

  • Any of the games that have an online pass are priced cheaper used than ones that don't because of that. When they are recent games instead of being $54.99 they are $47.99. It makes them only $2 cheaper than new on most of them if you have to buy the online pass unless you have their discount card. Any games that use an online code and aren't priced cheaper is because there are replacement codes that print on the receipt, aka you don't have to buy it.

  • the title of your video is improper grammar it should be Gamestop is not are

  • I love used games!

  • are you rich or something too many monitors?

  • your just a hater!!!!!

  • 13 people work at gamestop ya i buy from amazon or occasionally vintage stock

  • Hey guns.

    liking the goatee..

    looking smexy as usual

  • i hate EA so much now i really liked battlefield bad co 2 the bf3 beta sucked sooo bad i rented 3 to try b4 i buy ummmm no multiplayer need a code bullshit and for the last 3 weeks you cant even hardly play bbc2 i called EA and their representative told me well we have a new game so were focusing our servers and attention mostly on that bullshit im done with EA btw its just greed good video

  • @1momerat99 just see what is happening with The Sims 3 games. Man you should go to their website there are sooo many bugs that EA don't fix its really ridiculous.

  • @1momerat99 Ever heard of a comma?

  • @frowninclown i get too much ass to worry about commas ,,,,,,,,,,,ever heard of not being a fag with a fisfull of asscock in your mouth?

  • I like gamestop,they have amazing deals on their used games. Like yesterday I got a used copy of oblivion from them and it was all intact, they disc was not scratched at all, and it had the guide and poster inside it (also undamaged)

    And I got it for 5 dollars.

    You should buy from them, but I do agree they rip you off when you sell your stuff. I once tried to sell my ps2 (Perfectly working) and they were about to give me 2 dollars.

    Its better to just sell your games on amazon.com

    :3

  • i miss this intro...

    i'm going to replay it like 600000 times

  • I buy used games all the time. This is an old fight that developers use to try and stop you from buying a game for what it probably should have been in the first place... 10 bucks. Steam is a great example of reducing games. If developers dropped the price on their games to 10 bucks after a certain amount of time I would buy directly from them but when COD4 for PS3 is still 20+ bucks at Gamestop why should I pay that? I'll buy it used for even less and get the SAME experience.

  • I never sell my games cause they all have replay value.

  • just use amazon

  • you dont make money, gamestops freaking retarded you can sell a 50 dollar game after it comes out and then sell it to gamestop, then you get like 2 dollars, soo gayyy

  • Tip

    1. find the new version of the game

    2. take the gamestop exclusive card and put it in the used version of the game :D

  • Fifth Element. Awesome reference!!!

  • gamestops games are horribly over priced but some games are hard to find without going on the internet

  • GameStop is terrified of online game distribution providers like steam ( by the way i've saved so much money buying on steam than i ever did buying from retail stores)

  • All big publishers are greedy and a lot of buisnesses too

  • I once bought ALL Pro Football from gamestop for the ps3 used for 14$. Sold it back to them and got a dollar. Later i saw the game used on the shelf for 17$. Biggest mistakes in gaming i ever made was selling any of my consoles/handhelds. I sold my GameCube and 40 games and got 140$ in cash.

  • @R3LL0323 thats not bad game cubes are cheape nowadays

  • @MacTechnology101 I sold my Game Cube when X-Box 360 came out so they were still at least 100$ in stores but the rip off wasnt from the system, it was from the 40+ games. If i took the full price of each game and cut it in half then multiplied it by the number of games, 140$ still would be nowhere near the amount of money spent on the games. Whats worse is that i could take that new number and cut it in half and i'd still come out with more than 140$. Make sense?

  • lol i caught the fifth element reference. clever.

  • Big publishers like Activision and developer's like treyarch and infinity ward won't get hurt from used game sales but what about the smaller publishers and developers trying to break out?

    multipass=5th element.

  • i've bought a few used games. i got a pre owned MW2 because i really disliked Black Ops.

  • thats y i buy new from other places other than gamespot.

  • FUCKING GAMESTOP buy from amazon

  • @tazerfacial damn right!

  • @tazerfacial no amazon charging taxes some time from now bitch

  • theyre just all about making money. i never trade games to them but i do buy the suded ones cause most of them work just as good as the new ones at sometimes 10 bucks cheaper.

  • "Multi Pass" i love the reference lol from the 5th element

  • I went to trade in a few games in GameStop they offered me £15 I went to GAME (A European shop, I think they're in Germany and France etc) they offered my £32. That's more than twice the price! GameStop sucks big time.

  • And to think that Mila was the firs one to use the Multipass lol

  • @Sandslash37 say like when you preorder a game i will use halo for an example if you preorder it you get recon armor and stuff like that

  • Here's the thing dude.. Gamestop IS the game market. In fact it's a HUGE part of the video game market because it's where most video gamers shop and where most video game companies make MOST of they're sales ( this excludes PC gaming) They make better sales by the use of advertisement such as posters and tv commercials. Gamestop has a dealership with certain game companies that let game companies advertise in they're store for free. So about used games,it doesn't affect anyone but the customer..

  • greed greed D: there greedy little penises

  • only retards buy from gamestop

  • @onlyoneskiez buying from gamestop isnt bad..just selling to them is

  • who gives a shit if ea,activision doesnt get money for the disc?? they already sold that copy, and they expect to make double the money for selling a copy over? fuck that

  • 5th Eliment! MULTIPASS!

  • You have to realize, when you buy a game, you´re not really buying the game. You´re buying a license, a permission to use/play the game, so to speak. You´re not allowed to do with it whatever you want, let alone selling it. Licenses are NOT transferable.

  • @MrSomeDouchebag Unless your allowed like gamestop, bcuz they have a contract/sponsored

  • @UndeadxioN

    EA and other publishers don´t see a dime from these used game sales. They simply had to accept it, since they couldn´t really do much about it.

    When you buy a used game, you´re basically just buying the disk with the game on it, but not the license to play it.

    That´s why EA is able to say: "You want to play online? Well, pay us first. Seems like you haven´t done that yet."

  • I bought Dead Space 2 ( used ) for ps3 from gamestop.

    Both the full Dead Space 2 game and Extraction game was included.

    The only thing that I couldn't do was play online since the online pass was used.

    I think that people should read the back of the game and see what is included and what requires a pass. Because if it requires a pass, it's probably used + gamestop should make it more clear.

  • Great now at the s*it closed because Netflix and Redbox. I liked stores better. except gamestop.

  • best buy is also doing it

  • a guy sells mw2 before coming out in gamestop and the cashier says 20 $

  • I know. We bought a 20 dollar left 4 dead cause I accently broke my new one, and whenever you shoot, it gets all pink, and zombies look like multi color shit. FUCK YOU GAMESTOP!!!! Im still gunna buy games from them tho :3

  • In Australia we have have to pay $100 for a new game and we have the better economy, which is f**ked up, and when we trade in CoD or the likes, we get $10 back. What the hell!?

  • i sold a game 2 gamestop before for $5, i saw it later(my case is kind of messed up) and it was $30 o.o

  • I love this guy, he tells the truth and has great ideas. I think he should be in the video game industry as a corporate executive. I'm just saying.

  • Im friends With Half of the People That work at my local gamestop

  • Used games are nice when you don't have enough money for a new copy. What bothers me is that they (mainly Gamestop) charge way too much for a newer relaese used game. I mean $55, seriously? I would rather pay $5 more for a new copy! Also they hardly give you anything for it! I really miss Game Crazy! They sold the latest used games for $45 and gave yopu more in trade. Come back Game Crazy!

  • I order all my games with Amazon. :D

  • i remember when tony hawks underground 1 came out i beat it and tried to trade it in a month later and offered me 3 dollars i was 7 but i knew that was a stupid offer. the point is fuck gamestop

  • 5th element !

  • Well thing is GameStop refuses to buy back PC games or allow you to return a PC game due to codes. They say since there's a code in them the game is no longer any good.

    So why buy back console games? Most games now a days have some type of code in them. Once used no one else can use them, so GameStop shouldn't be allowed to sell them again.

    A new game cost $59.99, used is $54.99 WOW you save a whole $5 (if that), buy new and make sure you get everything.

  • I never had a problem like discussed in this vid and I got to gamestop... a lot.

  • Stop going to Gamestop, they are the middle man living off scraps.......

    they don't need to be there.

  • i dont have VIP maps for Battlefiled Bad Comapny 2 because the used copy's VIP pass was expired D:

  • I might not get to play the bf3 beta because i got a used limted edition medal of honor disc.

  • lol first time i seen this guy on anything but zombie vids =p

  • dantes inferno divine edition paid 15 more dollars than original and got nothing called them they said its your problem for buying it used guess i could sew for enough to buy that shitstop

  • Wait... Why are people getting mad at gamestop for low prices on returning things? Like, at least you're getting money back...

  • Multipass!!! :)

  • shit i only buy used games

  • I wanted mah recon helmet but no!

    thumbs up if thats what happened 4 you!

  • Comment removed

  • thats why i always buy new games not new ones

  • no

  • Movie Trading Company man.

  • I bought Medal of Honor (2010) for my PS3. It said "Limited Edition" on the cover. So I bought it used because they had no new copies of the limited edition. If the "Limited editions" don't have the codes, why the fuck put them on the shelves when you can buy a regular version new for less than a used limited version. Anyways, fuck Gamestop.

  • 9 people work in gamestop and yes i agree

  • @hbkrock52

    Expecting alot of thumbs ups there hugh? Yeah just because most people who do the dislike bar joke get alot of thumbs ups doesn't mean you will too.

  • 5TH ELEMENT REFERENCE!!!!! :D

  • i bout fable 3 used for 30.00 bucks and it was glitching like crazy

  • GameStop Is shit. I got for christmas a repeated copy of Motorstorm and when I went to GameStop they sell Motorstorm at full price. (where I live is 180$) so I asked how much I would get for the copy I wanted to sell. They told me 10$. I asked why and they said it was because it was an old game. Well apparently not old enough to stop selling it a full price. Fuck GameStop

  • this happaned to me! T-T

  • Because no one wants to pay $60 for a new game, but they have to.

  • Really, that class action lawsuit is stupid. Gamestop isn't putting the labels on games saying "Free DLC" most of the time its on the package. If your buy a preowned game and expect the DLC to be part of it, Then your pretty stupid. I bought Halo Reach used on the bottom is stats "Bonus Spartan Recon Helmet" The manufacture printed that on the package, I knew that it wasn't coming in the box. Sometimes I wonder if people really are that F'ing stupid. Or if they just want easy money.

  • i heard that if you put $5 for lets say bf3 and come to pick it up you'll have to pay the full $60 is this true?

  • @Mega554321 thats not true I put several games on preorder, what ever you put down goes to the cost of the Game. If the game is $60 and you put down lets day $5, when the game comes in you pay $55.

  • why didnt you keep the disk and give it to me?

  • lol my mom has been saying shits and giggles my whole life

  • I got bullshitted out of several things before i stopped buying new games from anywhere. The bad company 2 early unlocks, both the exclusive things from DA:O, I got pissed out of an afterglow and logitech controllers in addition to the ps3 controllers when i bought the bundle, and the dlc when i bought fallout 3, I only shop for new now.

  • gamestop employees love to play unreleased games then reseal the packaging and sell it off to someone else.

    every time i go to gamestop and buy a brand new game i always unbox it inside the store so i can make sure i didnt get a "used" copy. i caught them selling me 4 new games that were used and i fucked them all in the ass for it.

  • @xXPureEvilXx101 0_0 thats bs

  • @Mega554321 every gamestop has the capability to re-package any game in the back of the store.

    how do you think a lot of people have a better start than most other people on multiplayer.

    you cant sell or gift the game before its release, but theres no rule about playing it and re-sealing it.

  • @xXPureEvilXx101 my gamestop doesnt have a back room but i know what you mean

  • lol... Nice beard!

    

  • I'm the CEO of Gamestop and Mwahahahahahahaha, thank you for putting my snot nosed kids through college you gaming nerds. You rant and rave and still come to my store!!!

  • @pointlessfailure your not the ceo.

  • I bought medal of honor for 60$ when it came out and I tried to sell it back a in less than a week and I always take care of my games from scratches so they where offering me 15$ when I had payed 60$. Now I go to the gamestor where they are better and can fix games that are scratched for 5$

  • @SONYElectronic I had a similar experience when I had purchased Homefront from there a day after it came out and I had played it for a few hours when I got bored of it and tried to return it and they said they give me $20 in exchange, I was so pissed!

  • the gamestop that i go to isn't bad, i know some of the guys that work there and they are really cool, when i go to buy a used game they always let me know when i'm about to get screwed over.

  • Comment removed

  • you look like you came out of metallica but yet you talk very complex oh and thanks for the the free netflix trial

  • I was like 14 i wanted to sell my pokemon blue version to get emerald because i was short 5 bucks and i thought "A great game must be worth at least 10$ no matter the age" you know what I got for a game that revolutionized handheld rpg's? 2 fucken dollars. FUCK YOU GAMESTOP. TheGUNNShop you are the video game scene guru.

  • im going to throw a nuke to my game stop and steal whats left

  • @supermonkey328 The nuke would destroy the shop, yourself, along with the entire city and everybody you know and love. Re-think your strategy.

  • fucking game-stop pays 5 dollars for used games from little kids and resell them for 55. there the devil in disguise

  • @josiahfuller1023 I know right when i went to game stop i was gonna trade in my xbox 360 for ps3 but they said that we only pay you 75$ for the xbox 360 slim but i went to gamestop the next day and i saw xbox 360 the old one selling for about 140$ WTF -_- Dont trade in your games or and console they rip you off -_-

  • @zandian08 its called being a buissness get the fuck over it. if you dont like it dont go there
