IMO Gamestop and EB are the worst places to buy games. The guys that work there are the biggest nerds ever who try to push shit on you the entire time you are there. Second you can buy all that crap at Best Buy why, even bother with them. Third they want to buy your games back for like $5 then turn around and sell them used for $55. I say tell them to go F themselves!

it's all about supply and demand. when best buy only has a bit over 1,000 stores nationwide and EB/GS have 4,000, the supplies of games are a bit more spread out. as one of those "nerds" i think it's funny as hell when u see someone say u can find something anywhere and yet get those same people who've driven to multiple stores trying to find said item when all they had to do to save on all the gas they just wasted driving around was do a simple thing like but $5 down on something. I personally reserve my and my family's games just cuz I like to know my stuff is taken care of and I do the same with my movies online and at different stores. some people like that thrill of the hunt type feeling in my expirience and I have no problem with people not reserving cuz thats a personal choice, but those same people who don't reserve the game then turn around and complain the most about going to multiple places trying to find a whatever it is they r looking for.
I'm not gonna get into the trade prices, but its a whole more complex than we just wanna rip people off like a lot of people think. I'm also not saying its fair or unfair just it is what it is. it's all about finding the right deal like I got an extra $45 on my trades today. but what works for some is not necesarrily what works for everyone.
