- Oktober, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bootleg GBA and DS games? Probably yeah, bootleg disc-based games? almost certainly not.
Other than some sort of fuzzy nintendo-feeling, there's no difference, really. Bootlegs work just as well as originals, and Nintendo doesn't make money off of used game sales anyway. - Ravenlock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What the hell? "The crap we sell is the crap you (the public) trade in." Yes. Of course it is - nobody's accusing Gamestop of intentionally putting bootlegs into the market. The point is that people are trading in bootlegs (and why wouldn't they? They get full trade-in credit for a scam copy of a game), and that even when they are notified that the cartridges are fakes, Gamestop leaves them on the shelf. I guess that's not surprising - after all, Gamestop got scammed first by buying the counterfeit copy from the guy who traded it in - but it is disappointing.
Oh, and if you really do work for Gamestop, you might want to know that your company has allegedly threatened to fire you for making posts like that, or any posts referencing store policy for that matter.

But hey, who knows, maybe you had your manager's approval. ;-) - Farodek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there's a big difference between an employee knowingly selling a bootleg game and the company knowingly selling them.
- KatGamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oktober - they do not work as well. There are numerous reports around the Internet of bootlegs eating your game saves because the battery inside dies.
- NervClaX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The answer is ZERO. If it came out that Gamestop was excercising "willful negligence" they would be in such hot water they might not recover. To say Gamestop distributes bootlegs is to say McDonald's includes a dime bag with their Value Meals.
In the next generation, don't be surprised if you're made to "register" your new game or companies might just switch to downloads exclusively, leaving Gamestop out in the cold. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hard to see how "at least one that we know of" equals "zero."
But you did answer one question I've always wondered about:
Q.: Why do retail businesses conduct themselves with scrupulous honesty?
A.: To stay out of hot water, of course! - Jeebus01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0You people are retards. I work for Gamestop and couldn't help but laugh aloud at the absurdity of this article and its responses. The crap we sell is the crap you (the public) trade in. The only thing counterfeit that comes into Gamestop is that photoshopped picture of you with a girl you claim is your girlfriend that you carry around in your wallet.
