As a former gamestop employee, I'm preeeeeety sure the 7 day return policy and the 10% discount both apply to only used games. The margin on new games is already pretty slim at retail, I'd be surprised if EB would take a 10% discount on new games and consoles, especially for a measly $15 sign-up fee. I could be wrong and EB could have totally different policies, but I highly doubt it.
Also, it should be noted that store associates are under extreme pressure to get a certain number of membership subscriptions per shift. Sometimes their jobs are even in jeopardy. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if the associate you talked to made it sound better than it is or even fibbed a little in order to get her quota. Shitty, but that's sometimes how it goes I guess.
Really great article, Patrick! It does my heart good to know that people can still enjoy a game that means so much to me. Hell, it was my motivation for this list http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/terradelu/lists/games-with-personal-meaning/30067
Tapatio hot sauce will make shitty pizza slightly less shitty. This is a lesson I learned when I went to school in Florida, where all the pizza is shitty.
