  1. I was a defender of Gamestop. It has been years since I have gone there. I renewed my Gameinformer subscription and two years in a row they took my money and did not send the magazines. Gamestop is trash and no one should shop there. Get yourself a Microsoft Store or Playstation Store card and buy some digital games. The deals are absolutely crazy. Or, just buy from somewhere else if you are looking for physical games.

  2. FYI;
    The only games that shipped from a warehouse to you are the N64 games. The rest came from different stores.

    Employees are generally required to peel the price stickers off of games they’re shipping in case it’s a gift for someone. If the price stickers are still on there, they aren’t doing their job right. Also, the receipt for the first order should be attached to the shipping label on the front of the envelope

    Unfortunately, because the games get shipped from the stores, there are employees that don’t care about what they’re shipping out and won’t check 100% or even try to make sure that somebody gets a good product, plus shipping stuff out is currently a very big deal and stores get in trouble if they don’t send an order so some staff would rather ship out bad product than get dinged.

    Probably why Doom and “Halo” showed up like they did. And the “Halo” was probably a trade in that a new employee (or one that didn’t care) just didn’t look out when they took it in, and then it never got moved out of inventory like it should’ve. Doom will most likely work on your Xbox one if you’ve got one, because it only acts as a license and just downloads the game.

    DS & 3DS games almost never get traded in with the cases, because for some reason, people throw them away. alternatively people keep the cases when they trade in the games and then resell just the cases online. I’ve seen people do that. Because of that, You are almost never going to get an actual case for DS games. I’d say one out of 10 at best. Trust me, I’ve tried. And Just Return Pearl; average for a complete copy on eBay is $60. Get it there. Also, the contacts on the Sonic Rush are corroding. Reorder it.

    Hunter the Reckoning and Pokémon (Mario lol) battle Revolution are refurbished discs, I would honestly return and re-order at least PBR, Hunter is unlikely to come any other way. The gunk in the middle is the glue separating and the solution they use getting in between the cracks from being overdone on a disk resurfacing machine. The writing on the back was most definitely some kid using that case art for their copy of GTA5. I’ve seen that before too. The big black sticker is covering up a sticker that says defective because the game got sold to them non-functional, and they sent it to get refurbished. And The warehouse doesn’t bother removing stickers, it’s up to the store that receives and ships it to care.

    Revelations 2 was a former Redbox rental disc. That’s what the sticker in the center is. Those stickers are evil. That’ll Someone rented that, never brought it back to Redbox, and sold it to GameStop. Never had a case.

    My final note for you is a bit of advice you hopefully may have already taken: Honestly just take every problem game to your local store and if they don’t fix it up for you, go to a further one. Someone will be happy to help and be angry for/alongside you. But I wouldn’t bother calling support yourself.

  3. not sure if anyone else mentioned, but they sometimes put the receipt with the shipping papers that are taped up in front of the package. Its hidden behind those papers.

  4. Recently picked up a cheap game from GS and they sent me the lmited edition Hard case instead with all the collectable stuff included… worked in reverse for once.

  5. Hunter the Reckoning is actually a really fun 4 player co-op game! Played it back in the day on my OG Xbox. Maybe nostalgia is clouding my judgment but I really enjoyed it.

  6. Man a just recently started collecting ps3 games and man I'm telling you some price that I saw for some games is ridiculous. I'm from Jamaica and I just started me gaming channel I'm the first jamaican collector. Nice to meet u

  7. buying ds and 3ds games from gamestop is just asking to be disappointed since for a while they had the bright idea to throw away cases to save space but now they still charge full cib prices for most of them

  8. You also have to watch with lamestop because they dont check games so people have been getting Mario and higher end games that end up being like nfl qb club or mlb baseball boards inside. seen it way too much. Banjo is my favorite N64 title, and Rare replay is literally one of the best collections ever made. I mean you got some killer nes and snes titles and then n64 like conker and both banjos etc. Cobra triangle is a fantastic game from the nes, its on rare replay so check it out!
