    Rumor: GameStop Simplifying Trade-in Process but is it Better?

    In some supposedly leaked documents from GameStop that were obtained by Kotaku, the retail chain may soon overhaul their trade-in system, perhaps for the better in some instances. According to the rumor, August 18 will mark the start of a more simplified trade-in program at GameStop. This system seems to streamline a lot of the payment options and removes a lot of the bonus options that used to exist. Take the following chart as an example of what this new plan will do. ...
