I'm planning to buy the Dec 2010 cover poster.
I actually got this last week as a reward. I had it mounted on a board and it came out really nice.
I was thinking about doing the same thing. Show us some photos d00d

It seems like a lot of you have Gamestop issues.... I guess of all depends on where you are and who you know... I've made good friends with the Manager or Assistant Manager at 3 of the 5 we have here in town. It makes a difference if you know the staff I guess. Well to me it does.
On topic, I've picked up some beanies, a wallet and a few other non game items.

After finding out that all those remote controlled Halo toys were marked down last night, I may buy those. Just to get them out of the store.

LOL. I don't see any books about ponies...
@x Jedi Dad x: That's true. My gamestop's guys are pretty awesome and they always give me pre-order stuff even for games I don't even have.

I checked three different places and the cheapest was $160. Hence why its not framed lol.
@Rev The ponies are on a different book case next to Butterflies of the World. LOL
Psh, who needs a frame when you have double sided tape or those cheap double sided sticky tabs?

I try to stay away from the place. They are generally expensive, and the corporate attitude seems to be to screw the consumer. They have a buy 2 get one free deal every now and again that I will check out, but I normally steer clear.
Normally I would agree. I've had several bad experiences with Gamestop employees from other stores in my area. (Namely one who wanted to have an attitude when I told him I prefernot to buy used games) However, there is one place near my house where the people are actually pretty cool. I've been going there exclusively for almost 2 years now. (It also helps when I show up in uniform lol) one time I went in (out of uniform) and got a game that had been out for a few weeks. The manager gave me a day one code for an exclusive gun or something like that. My attitude about that particular store is the exception though.

The sad thing was that this particular guy was the manager. I said that don't like buying used games. His response was: "You don't like saving money?" My response to that was: "I also don't like pushy sales jerks." After that I walked out.
