GameStop — Attraction in Pasadena

You know the dam deal...

This was THE PLACE in the early and late 2000's Gamestop used to be a haven and beacon for gamers young and old. From getting figurines worth wild with a Pre-Order to hosting Halo/Fighting game tourneys. A one stop shop for all things pokemon/yugioh cards to blu-rays and DVD's.

How the mighty has fallen. They have games, yes. But majority of the store is filled with little trinkets and obscure items. What's the demand for Fallout Christmas ornaments in July?

In my opinion, it would be nice to ask if the have the rewards and if we say no the topic ends there unless curiosity about the rewards is...

Came in 08/12/25 after having chipotle to look at used Xbox games. Decided to buy Battlefield 2 Bad Company for $4.99 since the game has been delisted on the Xbox Marketplace for a long time. Liz adds a 1 year warranty for $1. something without asking me If I want to add it. I ask her her to remove it and she emphasizes that without the warranty I only have 7 days to return the game for a refund. I hear her tell her coworker she is going to give me something. I get to my car and inspect the game to the light and it is super scratched. I return to the store for a refund. Waste of 20 minutes buying unplayable games in the hope I return outside of...
