"Second, don't attack my intelligence."

"I understand they're a business and need to make money, but there are certain things to be said for customer service and offering an environment that encourages that as opposed to asking me to pre-order every Wii game coming up when buying the game, joining their plan or whatever and grilling me about why I didn't pre-order Metroid. Maybe I didn't because it was there, when I asked, available for purchase? Or maybe it was because I didn't want to give your company 5 dollars to float on while I wait months for the game to come out, only to have lost the receipt and my 5 bucks with it (or had the ink on the paper run, etc)."

I don't have to say anything. Learn to write. Go ahead, take away my free speech, ban me because I challenged you. Ban me because I don't think the same as you. And ban me cause I worked for the company that you hate so much. (Yet shop at apparently)

David,

Listen, to argue with someone through text you should really learn how to write. I'm not saying that I'm an excellent writer, but I don't work for an online blog community. I'm honestly having a hard time trying to convey what you're saying when the sentence is a barrage of miss-punctuation and run-on sentences.

Regardless of all of that.....I'm not sure what reservation sales have anything to do with the original point of discussion. It's simple, they need to make money and most people ARE happy, I'm sorry you're not. Most people ENJOY reserving games, knowing that they don't have to worry about a game selling out, (it does happen, not always but it does). Of course a game like Metroid isn't going to sell out, Nintendo has plenty shipped, they know the demand.


Look, my point is that Gamestop (regardless if I used to work there) is a business. They need to make money, they need your used games. You choose to be insulted by their advertisement for trading in games. You could just as easily say, "Nah, I'm going to keep this one" and pull the tape off of the flyer and throw it in the trash.

What really drives me nuts is that you're just looking for something to write about so you can get paid. It's frustrating to see articles being written with no substantial claims, or relevance, just so you as a freelancer writer can make a few more dollars today.

Who the hell cares? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT A BUSINESS IS? Gamestop is a business, they HAVE to make money, they HAVE to profit in some way or they wouldn't be in operation. I'm not trying to be a dick here, but come the fuck on. Gamestop buys games for nearly, what we pay for them, then they turn around and sell them back to us, they are suppliers. They can't make any money off of this process, that is why they are in the USED GAME BUSINESS! When you sell back your games, they make money, it's the only way they make money. It has nothing to do with the 49.99 dollar game you bought! You can get mad that they advertise for you to sell games back, but it's the ONLY way they make money, AND they wouldn't do it if people didn't respond to it. I worked at gamestop for 3 years. People, mostly 360 owners, turn around and sell their games days, if not weeks after they come out. They are just trying to stay in business. If you didn't trade things in (GOD FORBID), then gamestop wouldn't be there to sell new games to you.

RE4 is an amazing game, and I'm not against it being released to as many systems as possible, BUT....

The PSP doesnt have 2 analogs...fps's (or games styled the same)don't work well on this handheld. If they can make it work, then awesome, but I imagine it would be quite hard to move leon, and shoot at the same time.

Why is this just now being posted here when it appeared on the main site 6 days ago?

Look at the dudeface on the cover, he is gonna mess some stuff up!

Best Box art ever! Even cooler collectors edition!

Gimmie Gimmie!

Give it to me, and I'll give you a hug.

Might have helped if they had a seasoned starcraft player write this review. Giant spider thingies? Come on man.
