GameStop’s used game market is big business. As such, they need a hub of activity for testing the traded-in consoles, games, and various other objects. What does it look like inside?

Well, a series of photos taken by the Dallas Morning News shows us exactly that. The warehouse is full of consoles being tested in huge batches, as well as plenty of scratched-up discs.

It’s an interesting look into the business of selling second hand items. It seems to be a fairly rigorous process, ..read the full article

It wasn’t that long ago that GameStop reassured us the digital download market wouldn’t hurt their brick-and-mortar business, but now not only have they changed their tune, they’re looking to embrace the ways of the future.

The company’s website has already started offering digital downloads for all sorts of games but that seems to be just the start, as the company has been looking at Netflix to see what works, according to CEO Paul Raines.

When I pre-ordered Scribblenauts for the DS last year, the game came with an awesome bonus; a rooster hat similar to the one Max wears in-game. I love that hat- I still wear it periodically, even. When I go in to GameStop next week to preorder Sonic Colors, the Sonic wig they gave me will surely go nicely with my hat.

I’m not a hat connoisseur by any means, but this seems like another pre-0rder bonus that I can’t pass up. ..read the full article

Of course none of us can predict with absolute certainty that anything in life will be great prior to its “moment of truth.” That said it’s still funny to see the price people will pay to be a part of something even remotely exclusive after they realize they like it.
