GameStop Uses Air Fresheners to Promote Trades
by Chris Faylor, Jun 10, 2008 7:57am PDT
Continuing this week's delightfully odd nature, retailer GameStop just sent Shacknews a series of Lavender-scented air fresheners.
The package, which was sent via UPS Next Day Air, contained a letter from "Edgar, the Gaming Ogre" in which he asked us to "please accept this air freshener as a reminder that you can trade in your old, funky-smelling games toward new titles with that new-game smell."
While game makers have oft-criticized the sale of used titles as none of that revenue is passed back to the publisher or developer, used sales made up 49% of GameStop's Q1 2008 profit despite only accounting for 23.9% of total sales.

That and their PC Game section quite literally gets smaller every time I visit the place, it was a wall, then it was half a wall, then a section of the wall, then a double sided freestanding shelf, then the corner, then a single sided free standing shelf, now it's a pole in the center of the room (a roof support), with a few shelves circling it.
Screw Gamestop.
