Used Splinter Cell: Double Agent available on GameStop?

This is amazing! GameStop has used copies of Splinter Cell: Double Agent on back order! For any that have heard of the game, you'll also know that the title won't be released until September of this year. Nothing wrong with planning for the future, GameStop, but this has gotta stop. The game doesn't even have a rating yet.

[Thanks, joe]

Nothing special about that. Just a place holder. At least this way you can pre-order a used copy (but at only a few dollars less, you have to wonder why someone would do it).

Pre-ordering for things like this is so bizarre. I suppose there's nothing wrong with it, but where's the motive? People just have too much time on their hands.

You know what has to stop? Pointless filler posts.

Yep, I went there.

It's pretty smart business! It's gettin money in advance that they can use for purchasing otha products.

The days when a person could order used games with stackable discounts and the guarantee of a case and manual are gone. So are the days of only listing games that are in stock. EB Games lost those perks when they were absorbed into the Borg.

I suspect that with the resulting coercive monopoly that has arisen from the GameStop/EB Games merger we're going to see more transgressions that had previously been kept in check by a competitive marketplace.

Well, enough about that, I've got to hurry up and preorder the PS4 bundle and see if they've got any used copies of Duke Nukem Forever is stock (it may not include a case or manual).

Hey I am still waiting for my used copy of Twilight Princess that was supposed to ship sometime in May.

How in the hell can someone "have" something that's on "back order"? "Back order" just means they don't have it.

And no, you can't order it, either. Notice the lack of an "add to cart" button.
