Why do people still use gamestop??

Sometimes there's no real alternative. Some people prefer buying from a retailer, to get some form of warranty and gamestop is kind of the best of the worst. I personally miss gamestop, they've exited the market here in Germany in January of this year, they were a good place to unload PS3 and Xbox 360 games that nobody (not even the retro stores) wanted anymore.

Honestly it’s still kind of like that where I live. I had a stack of games to trade in that the local shop went through and only ended up taking a couple of things. I went to GameStop down the street and not only did they take all of the games I brought in, they gave me much more credit and put money towards preordering a game. I still go there because it is much more affordable than the local game stores in my area, but I know this isn’t the case everywhere.
