They usually do release day shipping which the price is around the same you'd pay for tax if you bought it from a physical store.

The new Powerup stuff has already saved me 30.00 also....
I know their trade stuff is BS but if you wait until the coupons and also use the edge/powerup card you get extra discounts.

So if you do the same thing this year with a pre-order, you might be able to keep your 30 day MLB.TV trial offer while having not given GameStop a cent. This sounds bad I know, but it's all about loyalties to other stores (or away from some).

I just do not agree with Gamestop's used game policies, and how they push their $5 off retail used game
to consumers over the new one, due to them having insane profit margins on them.
It robs the publisher and developer sales, since they see nothing second hand. And that is not healthy for the industry, especially smaller development houses.
Their labor practices and fierce cannibalization is a whole other subject I will not touch on. I just assume avoid them at all costs for personal ethical reasons.
Mom and Pop shops or Amazon for me.

For me, I LOVE buying used as I have 7 days to return it for a full refund.
Game companies/Publishers have no problem releasing trash games a lot and when buying new I'm stuck with it and they got my hard earned money for a crap game.
If the publishers want to guarantee all thier games will be quality and not be turds in a box then ok...That won't happen anytime soon.
I do however totally agree about their labor policies and I've voiced that with more than a few district managers mainly due to having some friends that work there.......

We will just agree to disagree on this as far as what publishers can and can not do.
And they have started taking steps, and those steps are VIP codes for online and free maps and updates in EA games as well as other companies following suit.
There are other methods for you to search out whether a game is poop or not, without having to resort to the mindset that ultimately is not good for ones that do deserve the sale. Rentals, demos, reviews, etc.
The Show will always get my money first hand though! And that yummy controller is calling as well!

Game makers do not have such avenues. It is the physical copy and that is it.
I just find it a concern, when a company gives a customer $10 for a game, then puts it on the shelf for $45-$50, then pushes that to the average Joe, over the new copy, cause they are making 300+% profit. Especially when they offer them peanuts to work, have such "holier than thou" memos always going out, and not providing proper safety for the stores that get robbed and people getting killed. I am just looking at the big picture entirely.
Just frustrates me when I hear Gamestop bragging about billions, and then seeing what they pay, and how they have 1 employee on closing a store, in unsatisfactory neighborhoods. Every week we hear about them getting robbed at gunpoint. And their conditions they provide these employees with improper store layouts, and thinly staffed personnel are a huge cause for them being so easily targeted.
Maybe they should invest some of their insane profits in employee safety, rather than sending them threatening in store memo's for them speaking out about their work conditions.

Don't get me wrong I HATE EB/GS policies towards thier employees and thier trade in values. I guess I just like knowing when I buy used I have a little insurance.
The video game and movie/dvd sales industry get off like champs in this respect as they have no "return if it's junk" problems to worry about.
I guess this is a discussion for another place and time though lol

I can't wait to see when I'll get the game so I can throw in a vacation day or 2 or 3 lol

I put in for my Spring vacation for the week of March 7th thru 11th. 
My boss says, "well I guess I know what day that baseball game comes out." LOL
BTW...why are we discussing the gaming industry as it pertains to the resale of video games and Gamestop's practices in a thread about the Show?

Just for you mentioning Joe buck, I refuse to reason with you. Him and McCarver can stay a million miles away from this series.
Sorry! But yeah.
Matty V is fantastic. The color guys are what needs refreshing, and having Karros will add big to it!
