Look at the Forza Horizon promo: if you give them a PS3 slim plus 2 games (two new games,by the way), you will pay FH ONLY 30 euro!!
So the value of a PS3 slim+2 games is only 50 euro!!

That is epic.

A 50 poor kids just got excited because now they can play it TODAY!

I Imagine the people at the store will laugh like this if someone actually takes that "offer"

We get similar bullshit 'offers' in the German GameStop. I'm not sure why anyone buys from this joke of a company these days. Every other imaginable retailer is superior to them.

Official Gamestop Fact #4306: Gamestop is the best company in the whole history of the world.

Well Media Markt and Saturn are pretty much the same but they have more special offers that aren't huge rip offs. Gamestop is good for some stuff like used last gen games that they want to get rid of. I also got a used wired 360 controller there for a decent price.

The only retail store that has constant good prices comparable to online prices and sometimes even better is Müller.

When I was living in Germany, I saw that a lot good deals for PC games at Media Markt and Saturn. For example, not so old good games for 10 euro each.

We don't even have gamestop here. =]

Media Markt and Saturn are nowhere near as bad - as you say, at least they have decent offers, and even their standard prices are far superior to GameStop's. The only time I go into GameStop is when I happen to be passing by and check out their (massively overpriced) used PS2 and PSP sections.

I used to go into Müller when I lived in NRW and made regular trips to Hamelin. Don't think we have one around where we are now - the nearest Müller from here is around 50km away. A shame really, because they were really good, especially for blacklisted titles.

Nothing beats Amazon.de for games though. Unless, of course, you happen to be ordering USK 18 games, then it becomes a hassle and you'd be better served just picking it up yourself.

We have Saturn, Media Markt, Karstadt, Real and Famila nearby all offering better prices on PC games, and three independent gaming stores here offering comparable prices and better service.

GameStop's rip-off prices combined with their morally abhorrent trade-in policies mean the day GameSpott dies a horrible death cannot come soon enough. You'd be talking about the Software Pyramide. One of the finest things in retail PC gaming ever, to be sure.

Indeed. And I remember in a big store(I forgot the name but it is one of those stores that sell everything), many years ago in Germany, I saw copies of Doom 3 and Vampire - Bloodlines for sale for less than 8 euro each.

Not even the canadian and Aus equivelant - EB games?

Nope. We have Game Mania.

Don't worry, there is a huge clock above every store counting down to their irrelevance.

Gamestop is one of the reasons that I really don't mind that used games trading is over. Nobody can tell me that Gamestop was a decent business.

Next generation of consoles and they're gone for good.
