Did EB and Gamestop's trade in policy change?

Just so it's clear, the Gamestop I work at in Annapolis, MD does NOT have this crazy store policy of not giving you your credit, nor have I read anything in a company email about it.

Around me in MA they made a law that says that you have to honor it forever :) Too many people bitched because a lot of businesses would have like a 3 month window.

Morphix's list alone, man. I swear the guy is sellin' crack. :lol:

I'm cracking down on my "collection", and trading in shit I don't play anymore, all the while trying to kill that "well I might want to play it later" fix that never comes.

I think I'm doing quite well so far.
