Why can't EB go to a system like Toys R Us used to have, where they put up a wall of flaps with the front and back cover of the games on them? That way, none of the games would get out of order, you'd know what was in stock, and there'd be no need to gut anything.

Seriously, that was my favorite system of doing things. They'd never have to worry about anything etting stolen, and we still get all the info that we would get as if we were holding the box ourselves. It's a win-win situation.
As for how Gamestop is now, I just don't buy many new games from there anymore. And when I actually do, about 90% of the time it's a game I preordered so it's not gonna be gutted. On the off chance that I do buy a new game and it's gutted, I just inspect as much as I would a used game to make sure there's no scrathes, the box is in good condition, and the manual is there and intact. As long as it passes those standards, I have no problem buying it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
