Seems pretty unethical to me.  I never liked buying their opened boxes even though they were new, but taking stuff out that is part of the package?

Absolutely ridiculous. You honestly couldn't pay me to shop at that store. If I was one of those customers, I'd report them to the BBB immediately.

"It appears that GameStop has a guilty conscience. They are offering a $50 gift certificate to any person who bought the new Deus Ex at GameStop. You may recall that GameStop has admitted to removing the OnLive codes good for one free game from new, unopened copies of the game. From GameStop's email: 'For your inconvenience, we would like to offer you a free $50 GameStop gift card and a Buy 2 Get 1 Free pre-owned purchase. We want to earn back your trust and confidence in the GameStop experience. Please bring in this email and your store receipt or order confirmation from GameStop.com and present it to a Game Advisor.'"
