A new report claims that GameStop learned how to fix it back in 2009, and has been reselling the refurbished consoles ever since.

Same guys who take trade-ins and give you nothing for it and turn around and sell the game at near 90% of the original cost. Same guys who sell dead title at high prices. They didn't like it when I was telling people they could get thier game online for cheaper. Showing them Steam and GOG. Totally dishonest company nobody should shop at. Hate seeing kids in there getting games and just knowing they are getting ripped.

Also if the arguement is used to justify why consoles are better and less expensive than PCs, then haha yeah just sayin...

This is a risk whenever you buy any used system. I don't know why anyone is surprised. You think anyone on ebay that used this method to fix their console advertises it?
