Welcome, this is the official Facepunch GameStop (which also owns EBGames) thread!
I will update the thread constantly and add new deals, games, and much more as time goes on. If you have any suggestions PM me if need be, also don't be shy to post in the thread if you have any questions.
[highlight]I am not an AdBot, I am not a GameStop employee, I just want to share these deals since most of FPs members are gamers[/highlight]

The PS3 has the best hardware of any mainstream console out there currently (PC is not a console) and can deliver the best graphics available. This section of the OP will contain PS3: games, deals, news, and info from PSN & Sony.\

The PC can either have the most power, or the least power out of all the 'game-machines' listed in this thread, for it has both the best Software & Hardware available to it: you decide! There are many types of PCs unlike other systems, but the best is AlienWare.

The Wii does not have the best software, hardware, graphics, or otherwise. But what it does have is the motion controler. If you like to get fit while playing games, more immersion, this is for you.

[MAspiderface v2]

I only go to gamestop for cheap $5 games in the bargain bin and preorders

[Makol]

[QUOTE=MAspiderface v2;22501815]I only go to gamestop for cheap $5 games in the bargain bin and preorders[/QUOTE]

pretty much this.

[editline]08:17PM[/editline]

or I get the occasional time card for an MMO.

[Flamester67]

Alienware the best? To be honest I think it's overpriced, you can make a desktop just as good as what they have for a lot cheaper.

[coup]

I go there for all of my non-PC games. I wont buy online for a Console game honestly.

[QUOTE=flamester;22501879]Alienware the best? To be honest I think it's overpriced, you can make a desktop just as good as what they have for a lot cheaper.[/QUOTE]

The Best doesn't mean cost-effective. It just means the best.

[venn177]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and call elaborate troll thread, and for that I applaud you, OP.

[QUOTE=venn177;22501920]I'm gonna go out on a limb here and call elaborate troll thread, and for that I applaud you, OP.[/QUOTE]

What? No.

[editline]11:24PM[/editline]

You call every thread a Troll thread.

[Tudd Fudders]

Ugh......

Why not just go to cheapassgamer.com if I wanted this. That way I don't have to deal with retards like you, who think Alienware has the best computers cause they use parts no one else can get.

My computer beats the shit out of Alienware "customs" any day and I only spent nearly half the money.

[DimJim]

i heard you can cheat them out of cd keys

can someone make a guide on how to do this :downs:

[MAspiderface v2]

[QUOTE=DimJim;22502048]i heard you can cheat them out of cd keys

bring a cell phone, go to game case with CD key, open case behind staff's back, take pic, profit

[DemonDog]

[QUOTE=DimJim;22502048]i heard you can cheat them out of cd keys

If I'm not mistaken;

1.) Find the PC game of your choice on the racks
2.) Take the game manual (with the confirmation code on it) out.
3.) Copy the code
4.) Place manual back inside
5.) Free code.

though I can't confirm nor deny if they actually keep the manuals in there.

[editline]10:30PM[/editline]

fucking ninjas

[TheSpy]

GameStop wanted 5 bucks for my mw2 copy since i wanted to get BFBC2 :colbert:

[DeVotchKa]

Xbox 360 has the best community?
*snrk*, 'the hell it does.

I'm talking commercially, of course you can make your own PC that can still do better.

Never heard of that.

[editline]11:39PM[/editline]

What is with all the CD-Key thieves?

[Killer900]

I hate their commercials.

[DimJim]

[QUOTE=Killer900;22502233]I hate their commercials.[/QUOTE]
i hate people who think their commercials are funny

[Amez]

[QUOTE=DimJim;22502319]i hate people who think their commercials are funny[/QUOTE]

A person that sat near me during lunch would always talk about how funny videos like that were, I wanted to throw him.

[G71tc4]

I get my 360 games from there, that's about it.

[Agoat]

That's a pretty snazzy thread banner.

[Mac2468]

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;22501978]What? No.

No he doesn't.

[Shugo]

I only use GameStop if they have a great deal (like when I was able to get 20% off Super Mario Galaxy 2 AND they gave me $20 toward a future purchase) or if they have an exclusive pre-order bonus.

Otherwise they can sod off. I hate how they shove their shit in my face every time I walk into their store and ALL the clerks at the many GameStops around my area are assholes. And trust me, there are a lot; one of the roads around here has [b]four fucking GameStops within a few miles from each other[/b]. The only good part of GameStop is their online store, and that's only when they have good deals.

Otherwise I usually support the superior store Game Crazy, but now GameStop has run the only Game Crazy in my area out of business. I'm pissed. The clerks there were super nice.

[FlintWest]

I get most of my games there, mainly 360.

Were the fuck do you live? Here in Florida I'm friends with all the clerks, all very nice people who go th extra-mile to actually help you. Thats why I made this thread, I thought other people had experiences like me.

[Dr Nick]

Never make a thread again.

[PyromanDan]

gamestop is a shitty fat cat scheme and it always has been. I mean they wanted to buy my pokemon silver a year ago for 75 CENTS. I mean good god hell no
if you looked at the gbc games they were selling it was marked up like 10000%, literally

[QUOTE=op] but the best is AlienWare.[/QUOTE]

Haha oh god hold on I think Im choking.

[Killerjc]

console bashing in paragraph two
new record

[Makol]

why are the images really stretched out? they look awful.

[Tudd Fudders]

I actually go out of my way to get games at frys

[Makol]

Frys never lowers their prices.

[Tudd Fudders]

[QUOTE=Makol;22503497]Frys never lowers their prices.[/QUOTE]

I got 3d dot game heroes for 35$ when it was only out for a week.
