Why in the world would they do that?



I mean, don't new games sell for more than used games? Why is GameStop decreasing its margins? Click to expand...

Actually, no one makes money off of new games. Like literally no one. The retail margins are pathetic.Also, GameStop took the new SKU for the game out of their computers long ago. They aren't keen on putting those back in. I worked there for 8 years and there's plenty of times we've ripped plastic off (well, were instructed to at least) because we were to sell new games as used.And unfortunately as others have stated, they can charge whatever they want for used games. Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade went for a far higher price before these reprints. Luckily they brought them back down. And luckily you can get discounts and promotions on used games (I think I bought my reprint for around $30 using a bunch of coupons during the first round of reprints).Right now it's at MSRP. Just no shrink wrap. Also I doubt they're ripping the shrink wrap off of these since it's their game to sell. They probably just never shrink wrapped the games in the first place.
