"Not to beat on a dead horse, but I went at lunch to grab a copy of GTA IV for my Xbox 360, yes I am hopefully that the DLC will be worth it in the future and hearing that it is already being worked on and could be out as soon as the summer also helped push me over the edge. So I walk into the local Gamestop and my experience goes a little something like this…"
That's a shame, I goto Gamestop to buy pre-valued cards or look for new titles of games to pirate (heh just kidding, I do own copies of the games I play). My personal experience with my local gamestop is they will sell you a copy of a pre-ordered game if they have any spares left.
Perhaps the interest Gamestop gets from pre-orders outweighs selling the game outright to whoever walks in the store. Talk about usury and shit. That's too bad about other people's experiences; Gamestop could be more customer friendly. They already make so much freaking money off us, they could give a little of it back to us in the form of carrying spare stock of games we want to buy and play!
