Gamestop is strange

Is this a common practice over there?
I went to look up their price on a game and this is the result I get.

No, it's definitely a misprint.  Some jackass probably got mixed up.

Would not put it past them

I see that every so often at the EB's (Canadjun Gamestops) around here. It's pretty ridonculous.

A few years ago, the used copies of Final Fantasy 10 were selling for the exact same price as the new copies.  I wouldn't be surprised.

Time to buy some preowned overpriced games! This reminds me of how on steam sometimes bundles cost as much as just the main game does.

That happens all the time. I was looking for some Gamecube game and it was like $35 used even though it was a greatest hits game. They also seem to have jacked up the price on Halo Wars since I bought it in January for like 15 or 20 bucks.

I only buy new games at gamestop, and only for preorder bonuses. The used games are a ripoff but i have no problem buying new from them.

I actually went by Blockbuster today where they had a used copy of Super Street Fighter 4 on sale for $4.99 but Street Fighter 4 was on sale for $19.99. Needless to say it was blockbuster so the person working did not understand my confusion.

I saw something similar on Amazon a while back. I lol'd.

Why didn't you include the rest of the picture? "Trade in your copy of Halo Wars today for $2 store credit!"

Rip-off con artists.

I assume the new version recently had a price cut, and they haven't yet reduced the used game price yet in line with it. That's usually how price oddity's like that come about.

This usually happens when theres some kind of promotion where they discount the new price as an incentive to purchase that over used. On rare occasions this can bleed into the actual store pricing as well, but mostly its only for the online shops.

Maybe their preowned copies were owned by a celebrity, thus raising the value. :P 
 
On a serious note, I think MattyFTM is probably right.

I hate Gamestop so much.  Always trying to cheat people out of there fucking money.

Happens all the time. New games go on sale and the used price stays the same. Also just go on ebay. You can pick it up for about $15.

No...this is common for them.

Why? I am opposed to supporting them at all because other game stores are so much better. "
