The Video Game Critic

[QUOTE=johnr]Hi all-

I was thinking about ordering a game or three from gamestop's website (specifically, the Zelda collector's disc for gamecube) b/c there's a discount code you can use (it's AFF25 for a 25% discount!). But, I don't want the game to arrive totally beaten up and without a manual. does anyone have any experience buying games from them from the website?

Be warned, games from that website don't guarentee case and manual.  I have ordered from them and about 70 percent of my games have had cases or manuals.  Just be warned. Its probably best to buy from a gamestop store so you can make sure you get a good case and manual.

But If you want a good site to buy online games, try http://www.gamefly.com/store/  They have awesome deals on used games, and the manual and case always come in perfect condition because they are never used, only the disc is used to mail rented games, so when they sale their games, they keep the manual and case which is in new conditiion.   The games themselves seem to always come in perfect condition.  I have no bad experiences with them.  They have some excellent prices and free shipping check them out.  They are far better than gamestops online service.

I'd go with amazon...they have descriptions and will say if they come with the case and manuel.  It works well (I quit ebay) and I sold Ico for 10x the price if I'd traded it in.
