This boycott has my support. I'm picking up some PS3 and Nintendo systems from them, but they make no profit on those anyway so it's all good.

I used to work as a manager for Gamestop from 2003-2005 and can confrim they don't care about PC gaming very much (or employees for that matter).

Highest potential profit is what they care about and that means used (pre-owned) console and handheld games.

I expect no less from a publicly traded company. Reduce benefits, raise prices and replace low margin product with high margin product. All to increase profit! profit! profit!

Only Gamestop does it with NO class at all.
