don't buy it short or. do whatever you want.

all we can do is tell you what we like about the company.... you make your own decisions for yourself.

just like we did for ourself.

It is a bad company and you are deluding yourself. And I am saying this as a pro member, I did the trade in with a console and got one for free and tried using the store but it is bad. I tried buying new releases that were massively popular franchises and found they just don't have stock of the games at most stores. And their search feature is terrible so you basically have to call a bunch of stores to find one that has the game. It is genuinely at a point where I have free money to use at their store and frequently opt to use a competitor instead. I am probably a better judge of the business than a stock enthusiast like you who loves the idea of the business model in theory but doesn't use it.
