hey i heard that eb games was bought by gamestop in a 1.4 billion dollar deal. is is a rumor?

Nope, it's true. It kinda sucks, though, because GameStop doesn't buy or sell used games; EB did. It'll be stupid if GameStop doesn't start the trend.

Yep, gamestop does buy and sell used games. If you look on their site, they even sell used games online as well.

All GameStops (that I know of) buy and sell used games, and so does EBgames. It says right on the bags that you get when you buy something ''We buy and sell used games. Bring yours' in today!''
That must be just your store. Are you sure though?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! My brother hates the living hell out of GameStop! They tried to force him to buy games from them! Like the stupid salesperson at a car dealership!

The companies of video games lose money by the used games that have the stores

1. Used games sometimes don't even have the game
2. Who would want to buy a game if it had a dude's booger or doodoo stains on it?
3. "You get what you pay for"
