A store where you can't just go in, buy a game and leave without being harrassed about other stuff.
Customer: Hi, I'd just like to buy Gears of War 2.
GameStop Employee: Alright. Would you like to get the regular version, or the special limited edition with the cool artwork and the metal box and the holographic trading cards and the extra DVD included for $10 more?
Customer: The regular version is fine.
GameStop Employee: Would you like to get the used version for $54.99 instead of $59.99?
Customer: Well... no, not really.
GameStop Employee: Would you like to get the strategy guide for $19.99?
Customer: No thank you.
GameStop Employee: Do you have an Edge card?
Customer: No.
GameStop Employee: Good, because you can sign up for an Edge card for $19.99. You can use the Edge card to get more store credit for your trade-ins. You can use it to get discounts when you buy used games. Plus it comes with Game Informer magazine, which is the best magazine ever.
Customer: No thanks, not right now.
GameStop Employee: We're also now taking pre-order reservations for Halo Wars, Street Fighter IV, Madden 2010, Resident Evil 5, and a bunch of other games that come out 2 years from now. For $5 down.
Customer: NO!
GameStop Employee: But it guarantees you a copy on the day the game is released.
Customer: I've bought plenty of games on the day it came out without reserving. Unless it's something like Halo, chances are the game will be available. Can I just buy my game?
GameStop Employee: Do you want to add a warranty to the game for $5 in case anything happens to it?
Customer: Do you want to shut the fuck up? I just want to buy the fucking game.
GameStop Employee: Do you have any used games to trade in for this purchase?
Customer: NO, MOTHERFUCKER!
GameStop Employee: Want any free 6-month subscriptions to any of the following magazines? You can pick two.
Customer: JUST CHARGE ME FOR THIS SHIT SO I CAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
GameStop Employee: Okay, here you go. Oh, and one more thing, at the bottom of your receipt is a website you can visit where you can enter to win a free game system of your choice.

Going to GameStop with the intention of simply buying a game and leaving without being stopped, harrassed, threatened, and asked a bunch of questions, is about as realistic as going to an airport wearing a turban with a beard with the intention of getting on a plane without being stopped, harrassed, threatened, and asked a bunch of questions.

A videogame store where at least one under qualified female is hired per store as by law. Not for their knowledge of video games but their bra size and Hooters experience. Most games that they are aware of start with NBA or WWF and are hired in the masses by the lonely, lonely Store Managers. See EBgames or Dumb Blonde

Gamestop is a rundown store that is usually based in America. They sell video games and other video game merchandise to people. They have a secret though, they're actually Illuminati. Gamestop takes your used games for about $5 dollars per game which you payed $60 dollars for. They then put them back on the shelves for $54.99. They call it a butt fucking. They also will hound you when you go into their stores and tell you to sign up for their member slapping rewards program. Usually when you sign up, the clerk will get up and slap you with their dick. You're now their bitch.
I went into Gamestop and this man who works there kept on telling me to sign up to join their member slapping rewards program, so they can spam fuck my emails with their "amazing deals".
