Gamestop or Gamefly?

[Zanessa]

There are 4 gamestops where I live. The one that's near Target by me is the best. I had a long conversation with the guys behind the counter about ACNL when I first got it. They're very kind! The other three are terrible. Bad cards, terrible employees, and they don't do things like this one gamestop does.
I'd never use Gamefly. I like having my own copy of a game. My own. No worries about returning it ever.

With Gamefly, you can return it at any time. Or you can purchase it if you decide to keep it, for no extra charge.

Still not the same IMO. I'm just weird like that. :/

Well it's not for everyone I guess. :>

I only shop at Gamestop out of pure convenience of location and the fact that I don't have to wait to get my game. People always say "Support the developers, not Gamestop." Blah blah, people need to hush with that. Any place where you buy something like a video game or a movie from is going to take a percentage of the money so they can continue running their service/establishment. It's not just stores, websites do it too.
Anyway, yeah. Gamestop, not out of preference, but because of location.

I guess Gamestop, since it's more convenient for me.

Gamestop is more convinient to me for these reasons.

1. They allow me to own my games forever
2. They allow me to get my games right away

The gamestop near me is pretty sweet.
They don't really rip us off unless you count the FIFA games (Who wants those, anyway?).

I've had both good and bad experiences with Gamestop. There used to be one on the complete other side of town (and not in a good area). The employees there were jerks who could care less about their job or games. Then Gamestop made a store right in the main shopping center on this side of town. The employees there are true gamers who love their job and will actually try to help you. Some I've even know for a few years now. I've never sold games or game systems. Too many good memories and they all become part of my beloved collection.

I've never tried Gamefly though I have seen the ads. I'm wary of potentially dealing with a customer service that I can't interact with face to face game comes new and somehow broken (has happen to me only twice so far) or never arrives through the mail.

I prefer Gamestop.

Gamestop + Gamestop = non-existent pretty much.

I never tried Gamefly myself since the only console I own technically is my 3DS. I do love Gamefly's PC store very interested in trying out it's download service.

I like owning games rather than renting them, because I will likely play them for the next couple of years. I have never been into finishing a game and never playing it again (unless it was not good).
