EB: Why it sucks
my store we kept a lot of those pre-owned consoles in the restroom. Do you know how nasty it was to see some Gamecubes, PS2s and XBOXs sitting in a plastic bag near the toilet with dried piss on them? And guess what? Lots of those pissy Gamecubes, PS2s, and XBOXs got quickly wiped off and sold to customers...at X-mas time. Little Tommy wakes up on X-mas morning and plays with his PissBOX, PeeS2, or Toiletcube and everything is just great in the world.
With Gamestop and EB merging into a new hyper corporation, it'll be safe to assume that customer service like this will be the par for the upcoming future. It's too bad that there isn't many indie gaming shops like record or movie shops. That would be some fierce shit.

Actually, I find a lot of the indie used music stores have exapnded to include DVDs and games as well, so that helps. And in a city of significant size, there are at least a few indie game stores. Salt Lake has two that I know of.

And despite EB's problems, in my experience they are still leagues better than GameStop.

Here in PG, we have two or three EBs. The service is alright, but I'm not keen on their game trading policy. I picked up a shitload of used games at a garage sale and I was hoping to sell them back to the store at 5 bucks a pop, earning me a good profit. Unfortunately, they were all sports games and thanks to EB's policies, you can't get shit for the games. Very disapointing
