If you're going to pick a location to try to turn people away from a GameStop store, it would be right outside that store's front door. Or maybe the big empty wall directly next to it. More »

GameStop Employee Sues For Time Spent Being Checked For Stolen Games
By Chris Morran on November 23, 2011 10:45 AM

Considering that so much of the retail theft that occurs each year is a result of sticky-fingered employees, some stores like GameStop have apparently instituted policies that require staffers to be checked for pilfered product when they go to take a break during the workday. But one employee at the video game chain says these breaks cut into the amount of time allotted for mandatory lunch and rest breaks — and he's suing to get paid for that time. More »
NewEgg Drops The Ball, Gamestop Saves The Day. Wait: Gamestop?

Two months ago, Nathan took advantage of a Newegg promotion for $10 off his pre-order of the collector's edition of the game Dark Souls, which was released on Tuesday. Ordering ahead and getting a discount: points for planning and for shopping prowess. The day before the game was to be released, Newegg (and other retailers, Nathan later learned) had to cancel their pre-orders because they just didn't have enough product. This left him without a collector's edition on release day...unless he could find one in his city, in person. Was such a feat possible? Yes, as it turns out, with some luck and the help of a heroic Gamestop employee. More »

Tablet computers can be many things to many different consumers: An easy way to surf the Web, a portable digital-video player, a color e-book reader, or maybe a lightweight, laptop stand-in. But would you buy a tablet just to play video games? And would you buy one from perennial Worst Company In America contestant GameStop? More »

Apple devices have always been conspicuously absent from GameStop's wares, even as competing electronics trade-in services dealt with the likes of iPods, iPads and iPhones. That's reportedly about to change, with GameStop already accepting trade-ins of the istuff leading up to the rumored October release of the iPhone 5. More »
GameStop Offers $50 Gift Card To Make Up For Swiping Coupons From PC Version Of 'Deus Ex'

Last week, GameStop admitted to telling employees to pull coupon codes out of new copies of the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, then yanked the game from shelves. To make things right with customers who bought the game and didn't get the coupon, the company is reportedly emailing instructions for picking up a $50 gift card and an offer to buy two used games and get a third for free.

Reports: GameStop Pulls PC Version Of 'Deus Ex' Off Shelves After Controversy

As we reported yesterday, GameStop fessed up to ordering employees to pull coupon codes out of new copies of the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The company justified its shady directive by saying the publisher Square Enix didn't let it know the coupon — for a free version of the game from OnLive, which competes against GameStop's digital service — would be included. Now GameStop is reportedly yanking the game off shelves. More »

This news isn't going to garner any love for perennial Worst Company In America contestant GameStop. The video game retailer's Field Operations Manager sent out an e-mail — which has since gone public — demanding that stores open copies of the PC version of the game to remove a coupon containing a code that allows the buyer to play the game for free via the online gaming service OnLive.

My UPS Package Was Delivered, Just Not To Me

UPS claims that it has done its job: Adam's package, a gift that his wife got for him from Gamestop, was "delivered." And it was. Just not to him. Or to his house. Or, as far as he can determine, to anyone in his neighborhood. See, he was home, and a large brown truck is hard to miss. More »

GameStop Pushes Questionable Download Insurance
By Phil Villarreal on May 31, 2011 8:00 AM

GameStop wants to make sure you're taken care of if you buy a PC game from its site, then lose it and need to re-download it. The seller is kind enough to add download insurance to your cart automatically, just in case you forget to pick it up yourself before you check out. Sarcasm aside, the pushy salesmanship is no doubt overlooked by those who just want to click buttons until their game starts to download. More »
