Pwend a GameStop ---meecrob--- today.
hypernova:
With a month left to go in preorders on MW3, a coworker was told at Gamestop they were OUT of the hardened edition preorders.
They then proceeded to sell him their "equivalent".
And he's a damned sucker, and took their word for it.
Weeks later, you could still preorder it online (from other retailers AND them).

A point that's patently obvious to everyone but PBJ. ::)

Yeah, hilarious. Except they were shoving warranties and cleaning kits on us 20+ years ago. ::)

20+ we (or at least I) had much more choices. I used to go to this little flea market type shopping center that had TWO video game stores with walls of games you couldn't find anywhere else (like unlicensed NES games). It was a quick transaction - no tax, $50 (ex.) flat and no trying to sell me needless add-ons and reward cards. If anything, they tried to get you out of there as quick as possible so they can go back to playing their game.
Those places are gone now, what was left was replaced by Gamestops. :(
BTW: I'm not really counting the online sources we have nowadays. I do buy my games from them usually (Amazon) but you have to wait a few days for those to arrive. If I want a game today, it's either Gamestop or schlepping down to Best Buy.
