    Hi all,
    Got a surprise GameStop gift voucher and was wondering which store would be better to use it in... Parkway or Crescent?

    The voucher should work in either of them if not any GS store in Ireland?

    Depends on if you're looking for first or second hand items.

    If you're looking for a new game or movie, it won't make a difference, but IMO, the Gamestop out in the Crescent has a bigger selection of second hand games and DVD's.

    Agree with the above. The crescent however is a bit mad, it being christmas and all that. If it's something new it may be quieter in the parkway one. Can also be a devil getting out of there too though. :)

    ya i think if your heading to shop just at gamestop go for the parkway
    but if your want to have a look at other shops the cresent is clearly your choice

    was in the cresent today
    too packed to move
    gamestop is no exception
    the mothers pushing their buggies making it impossible to get past would drive you up the wall
    i got as drive thru at burger king at the parkway which was full of cars so the gamestop their could of been packed their to maybe

    Thanks for the replies folks. Yep weekends can definetly get busy so close to Xmas, fortunately i got time off and made my move today.;)

    Made for the Parkway because i've never been to the GameStop there. Not much of a difference between the Crescent and Parkway in terms of offerings for PC gamers. Some few select items like Neverwinter Nights collectors edition at a reasonable high street retail price.

    The interesting part actually happened at the checkout. The person almost accidentally undercharged me by a vast amount (to say the least and thats been generous) until i politely pointed this out. The previous details on the checkout were never cleared out...
    Of course i know plenty of people who would have called me "dumbass" for doing that:rolleyes:, but i think a little honesty can't hurt especially when you have a big gift voucher.
    Incidentally these same people would buy a PC, and if didn't live up to their expectations would return it after stripping it of internal components like the GPU, harddisks etc...:eek:
