Straight from the regional DM's mouth. EB has been absorbed into Gamestop corporation in a buyout. Thats 3,800 locations. I think that makes Gamestop a world power officially. So if you hated Gamestop, your really gonna hate em now. You heard it here first folks.

I'm torn between the two. I dislike the obnoxious mall parking to get to Gamestop, and generally dislike the quite smelly staff, only one decent fellow seems to avoid the employee culling the store recieves pretty often...

On the other hand, EB put fucking promo stickers for any and every promotion all over my Digital Devil Saga slipcover.

While defacing said box is a far worse crime, I feel the need to mention that my used copy of Riddick for Xbox I purchased from them looked like it was consumed, defacated and then placed lovingly for sale on the rack by the sticker monster.

Seriously these fucks have less self control with a roll of stickers than an 11 year old girl with a clean binder.

So it's either a choice of:

Gamestop; bad parking, unpleasant stench.

Was it opened? I fucking hate EB's gutted games policy. They open the games, plop the case on the shelf, then when you buy it, shove these awful stickers on them, which are sure to tear the case and leave gunk on it when you try to remove them. Fuckers.

Use gasoline on the sticker residue.

Yeah, new gutted game. Yknow, a price tag is fine, I'm not such a whiny person. But it'd be nice if I didn't partially feel like I was investing in a $54.99 billboard. "TRADE IN GAMES, INSURE YOUR GAMES, BUY YOUR GAMES CUTE MATCHING T-SHIRTS, WANNA SEE HOT GAME ON GAME ACTION?"

You just know there's some suit locking his fingers and laughing somewhere as you sobbingly try to pick the stickers off.

Great, now there's no alternative to GameStop and their false pre-order incentives.
