GameStop is slowly dying because they refuse to compete. Amazon, best but all of them have better programs and higher trade in values and more gameon sale

Best Buy shits all over Amazon.
20% off any game outside of black friday sales. Yes, any normal sale price on a game outside of blackfriday. Not just some 2 week bullshit Amazon tried to pull.
Not to mention Best Buy usually gets orders to you the day before release, and Amazon has been struggling to fulfill orders at all recently. Amazon has not had good PR going for it in the games dep so far this year. Nioh, Zelda, Switches, and Persona 5 all had fulfillment issues.

The bigger problem I have with Amazon is them hiding Switch preorders behind Prime membership. I know they pay for it, but it just doesn't sit right with me. They already get free shipping and get to have the stuff on release day as part of that free shipping. Isn't that enough of a benefit? I think the stock should be fair game.
Girls are a hoax created by the Japanese anime industry to scam otaku out of their money.
Even worse, they weren't able to fulfill all their switch preorders yet had them available on prime now in most major cities night of release.
My wife worked a season position for amazon, and short story if you're not a prime member they don't give a rats ass about you. If you're prime member then a CS has to go above and beyond to please you.

Why would anyone who uses Amazon with any kind of regularity NOT want to have a Prime Membership? It saves you a shit ton of money in shipping fees if you order very much stuff through there at all. And Two Day shipping on top of that? Not to mention the benefits of Amazon Video, Perks with Twitch.tv, etc. $100 may be a lot to some piss poor people, but for the average Joe, it's pretty damn well worth it if you ask me.
Amazon as a company is awful, they fail at every game pre-order, they treat their employee's like shit unless you work in Seattle, the average span of a job employee at a fulfillment center is 6months, they have on call ER there for the summer. The call centers are treated like slaves, they get no time off and if your sick if you dont have time because of things that are out of your control you are fired. Its one of the worst companies to work for unless you are a Seattle person or a HR person in most of their buildings.
Finally was able to snag a Switch. Best Buy has them in stock now in the US via the website (Sunday 8am pacific time) if anyone is still looking.
Amazon Prime is mandatory as far as I'm concerned. It may be a shitty company but which one isn't?
Amazon's horrible work conditions are pretty widely reported on -

It's got the reputation for what appears to be a pretty good reason.
Thanks for the links. I just wasn't going to take Nmkyungri on their word alone. Still, I've never even heard of that shit until just now, which is odd because you'd think the information would be pretty widespread on the internet considering how big and important Amazon has become (as is, it'd jump out at people who aren't specifically looking for it). Maybe I've just somehow completely missed any and all reports on it up until now.
There is a massive Amazon Warehouse near here, and by massive I mean the place is like a town. Every christmas they massively increase the workforce for the temporary period so you always hear stories from people who worked for them during that time as a bit of quick cash and it's meant to be a living nightmare to workthere, they work you hard and you're not treated well, the turnover in workforce is meant to be huge there.
That said, I still use Amazon frequently for business, and have an Amazon prime membership.

This is not a drill Nintendo Direct on April 12th at 3pm PDT. Will have 3DS and Switch games but will be focusing mostly on Splatoon 2 and ARMS.

Apparently GAME has them back in stock, hopefully i can find one now.
*he probably wouldn't though
I'm not sure if GameFreak will announce a Pokemon game during this Direct, especially with the hints recently of gen 4 remakes instead of a third version (Munchlax as a Sun/Moon gift, lack of gen 4 Pokemon in Sun and Moon, Ash's new traveling companions in the new movie having the two biggest Pokrmon out of gen 4).
It would be a bombshell.
Still going to be a 3DS game though.
