[@Brokenlance]

Previous GameStop employee from 2012-2019, so the reason you would get a situation like the Viewtiful Joe game you have is we would very often get people coming in and would trade in the game with the OG case and cover art but the case itself would be a mess like the plastic tearing off etc, so we would put the good cover art in one of our generic cases the company would provide. Also they only have cases now that fit more modern discs so they wouldn’t have any GameCube cases. Also, yes, some people are insane and just chuck the cases and would literally bring in old music cd folders full of their game discs to trade. It made me cry every time lol.

[@newmediadenmark_]

I would also think some people would steal the case and the cover art? GameStop would have the disc behind the desk in a drawer. Then the game would be without a case.

[@Brokenlance]

@ yes that was also really common. But most people (at least in my area) knew that the cases were empty and the games were actually in the drawers behind the counter.

[@BouncingZeus]

Also I remember when I worked at gamestop around 2009 to 2021 and we would throw out cases to save room.....

[@itsonly_JT]

I've had people come in to trade stacks of just discs before. like in one of those 2000s CD holders. 90% of the time, if a game doesn't have a proper case its cuz it never had one to begin with

[@teksupportco]

Another previous GameStop Employee here chiming in with their two cents: People will literally trade in the disc by itself. To my understanding of policy, we would technically just accept only the disc. And I hate to say it but depending on the employee and whether the trade in was with the disc itself/case and game or complete in box, it wouldn't change the value of the games being trading in. So people realistically had no incentive at all to bring everything in. When it comes to actually taking in retro games themselves, depending on if they changed procedure or not, the same rules generally apply. If there are no heavy deep scratches and the game looks playable or in at least good to like new condition, they take the disc in. As a retro gamer myself I get the frustration I really do, but some of these things are out of the hands of the company at least at store level. 9 times out of 10 anything old is sent to the factory and they attempt to do whatever it is they call refurbishing and then call it right there. I have personally ordered retro games online from GameStop at least twice last year.I received games like FF7-9 all came in fully generic cases, and in my case these were the bubble mailer. The reason you're getting as many blank cases most of the time because, we had to provide customers with a case and they couldn't just hand them the game and call it that, we had to make case and cover art just as you recieved games like Splinter Cell Blacklist.

I'm so sorry, Matty 😅 It's painful to watch but your editing and narration smoothes it out. I have all the gamerscore in *Castlevania LoS* and it was absolutely phantastic. The amazing soundtrack by Oscar Araujo won an award as well. There's also a DLC which was great and challenging. I've also played *Prince Of Persia* 2008 and have all the gamerscore in it. It's my favorite POP, for its wonderful narration and esthetics, even though the gameplay is lacking somewhat. I also recently repurchased this on ebay and I'm still a little mad at myself for selling my steelbook special edition back then, which was beautiful. I'm not a collector but a very few olde editions I wish I hadn't sold.

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

I heard about them bringing back their retro program to the stores and got hopeful. Even more hopeful when I learned the store by my house is the main location for the retro games in the whole city. I went in only to see a tiny section on the back wall. It had multiple sections for different consoles but the entire display was so small,. they had like 10-20ish games for each. and most of those were crappy gamestop boxes too. It was really sad. Thankfully i didnt waste too much time. but its a shame they didnt have a way to appeal to retro collectors when they launched the retro program. instead it feels like their last ditch effort to sell warehouse product before all gamestops close down.

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

To anyone that sees these comments, I went back to the same GameStop I had mentioned just yesterday. A day or so after posting my original comment. While the section did get a few feet wider, the majority of the games are all in poor quality GameStop cases. I almost bought Dragon Quest 7, (One of 5 or so games on the whole wall that were of interest personally) but the case was missing. So I didn't have the heart to buy it without the case. Moral of the story is though they're increasing the volume slowly, the overall selection and case quality are very poor.

My sister was one of those psychos that put our shared PS2 and Gamecube games into a binder. She kept the cases though, but of course eventually lost the binder. So now I have about 30 empty PS2/Gamecube cases. It makes me cry every time I see the cases on my gaming shelf. Thankfully I didn't let her put my favorite games in the damn binder. She did it with all her CDs and DVDs too. It was a true compulsion. A am also an old-school God of War fan, when it took place in ancient Greece. Those were the real games IMO. And I have those discs in their original cases!

Honestly, Matty I would just take those games with the receipt to your local GameStop and return them and get your money back and buy them on Mercari or eBay or at Mom and pop retro store in your area because by the time you find the case in manual and pay shipping you’re gonna end up paying more than what the game is most likely worth according to PriceCharting. As a retro Collector myself that’s why I don’t buy retro games from GameStop online because I can’t physically see the item and what I’m getting is a crapshoot.

Pro tip for removing stickers from cover art: Ronsonol/Zippo lighter fluid. You can literally soak it in the stuff and it won't stain. Evaporates super quick and leaves no odor. Dab/soak for a couple minutes and it will be super easy to peel. Just make sure you wipe, don't scrub any adhesive off.

[@xmatoko]

Unfortunately I was someone that got rid of cases and put them in a CD binder. Back then my older gamer cousin who gamed in the 80s always had his old loose cartridges in a box, and his PS1 games in one of those binders. Obviously as a kid I had no say, but to my parents the boxes were a waste of space. So at the end of the day I think most of these kids did it because they didn't know any better at the time, it was more normalized, but it's usually a space concern. Of course nowadays I completely regret it all! I even used to hold on to some manuals as bathroom reading materials as a kid, never understood how important the CIB packaging would come to be growing up. Not even just for resale but for personal nostalgia.

[@theflo1980]

I also like to look at the collector bubble in the USA. But one thing always strikes me - the condition of the games, regardless of the era, is mostly really bad. So many are also sold/bought "loosely", whether in stores or on exchanges. In my small but fine collection of 500 games (from SNES to PS5), condition was and is always the top priority. CIB is a must. But of course it is always a question of your own budget. In any case, it is exciting to see how differently people collect everywhere. Best wishes from good old Germany 👋🏼

I don't know if they also have retro games in-store in the US (because here in the EU it's only ps4-ps5 and switch games, not even ps3, I mean GS is literally shutting down stores here). Anyway my point is that sometimes people just steal the cases, like everyone knows that GS has the actual games back at the counter but you just walk in, snug the case and walk out and resell it on ebay or whatever. For instance I ordered a few new games online from them recently, and well turns out it's gamestop's "new", but the game I ordered might have been the only copy they had left which was at the stand so naturally it won't be sealed yet it's fair to say that it's new. So when that happens you might find yourself with incomplete packaging. I would say, with what I read online from ex-employees, I'm not going to even bother with a return or cause any trouble, you gotta deal with what you have at the end, imagine what the dude was thinking when he packaged that shit lmao. Some transparency when making online purchases would be greatly appreciated tho, I hope the new company to which GS sold their local chain would actually do this like sending a photo of the product or something.

I’m curious about cartridge games. For example Mario all stars on snes is about $25 which sounds about average. Might like to see a video focusing on cartridges sometime

16:52 It’s true, only a psychopath with a desire to commit gaming atrocities right out in public would display the generic Gamestop cases on their collection shelves. When I see that, I flee the home like a wild-man and never return.

Matt, Use a hair dryer to heat up the sticker to make them come off WAY easier.

At least you were able to get games though. Everything I try to find doesn't even have delivery option.

It was me who left the stickers on the games. My heart is full of evil for video game collectors lol… Being serious I hate rolling the dice on GameStop sometimes. I have an order coming hopefully they did me right but…ya never know. That NBA Street 2 looks interesting. I have Lords of Shadow 1 and 2 CIB. 2 took me a little while to find.
