Haha!  That will probably change, now the cat's out of the bag.  Everyone will be doing it, gobbling away the real preorders.

Seriously, fuck Gamestop.  This place fucks over so many people it is obvious the only reason they survive is because they have a ridiculous profit margin on their products, essentially raping the idiots that choose to shop there.

I'll admit, I've gone through my game collection multiple times recently to find games to trade in.  But after checking the trade in amounts on Cheap Ass Gamer it's not even remotely worth it to part with them.

But hey, there are people that don't care.  They see the $2.50 they'd get for a game as fine and good since it's just sitting there anyway.

I've done my share of hating on people like that.  They are Gamestop's backbone.
