New Philadelphia GameStop Policy Requires Customer FINGERPRINTS When Trading In Games

Fuck GameStop, Fuck PPD - fuck them all. Tyrannical bastards.

“What GameStop does doesn’t meet any of the elements of the definition in the code, so the pawnbreaker ordinance doesn’t apply to GameStop.”



5stars btw.

They have been taking prints out here in CA for years, but only for consoles.

I thought they all did that.

Know your rights people.

They are setting up a fingerprint system little by little.

First it is by choice, when the majority comply, then it is NO LONGER A CHOICE

I'll burn my fucking games instead. They only give you a few bucks anyway, eat shit you whores.

Because certain groups of people are robbing places of games and trying to sell them off at game stop.

Who cares? That's got nothing to do with everyone else.

They've done it out here because their individual ID #s (consoles, not games) can be tracked for theft if needed, so they had to conform to pawn broker laws for computer systems if the need arrived.

Sell your games on amazon.

All our Game Stops in LA closed.
Quite some time ago

It's not a new policy, every Gamestop in the south has required this for years.

LA as in Los Angeles? Lol, no. They did not.

I never heard of it. I was with my little brother when he traded his, he never had to do this.

I was in a GameStop in the north Texas area recently and a kid and his father were there to trade in some games. The clerk asked if the kid of his Dad had a TX ID or passport. They had just relocated because the dad was in the military. GameStop would not accept his military ID. Me and some other customers called BS on this practice.

I asked what the hell was wrong with accepting military ID instead of a Texas ID or passport. It was then that I was informed that it's not a GameStop policy but rather a township regulation. The reason for this is, GameStop is actually a specialized pawn shop. That is how each of them has to register in the city they open their stores in to be able to buy products from the public. So it's strange practices are not GameStop's corporate policies. It is actually the regulations they have to abide by in whatever township they are in.

SOunds like good grounds for a lawsuit violating our Constitutional rights.

In Florida pawn shops you do a thumbprint as well as have a VALID (current) ID with image on it. I've gotton into a lot of spats with people that had expired driver licenses who cannot pawn stuff.

Thanks for the pin.

gamestop employees are worse than car salesman.

would you like to sign up for a power up card?

would you like a warranty? it's only 3 bucks!

would you like to pre-order this game that comes out in 6 months?

FUCK OFF I JUST WANT TO BUY THIS GAME AND GTFO

This

resale your games on craigslist!

A while back my step child wanted a game...got it and didn't like it. Well we were going to sell it to GameStop and they wanted to give me 75 cents. Forget that...I just gave it away to some kid who couldn't afford games.

Bullshit. I traded in an Xbox 360 console last month with no fingerprinting. But we're in Texas, and I guess they know we won't put up with that shit here.

People still go to the store to purchase games? I can guarantee that I can find any game someone wants to get for at least 1/6th the price on the internet.

Yup.

The amount of people defending this policy in the comment section of the CBS article is SICKENING.

Either the paid trolls have been sent to the site or there really is no hope for humanity.

I really hope it is just trolls.

Yup. Sadly probably half of them aren't trolls or shills.
