Dystopian reality: GameStop now taking your fingerprints before you can trade in used games
If you plan on trading in used games at GameStop stores in Philadelphia, be prepared to be treated like a criminal. Stores in the city of brotherly love are now requiring fingerprint scans of everyone trading in their used games. Even worse, the GameStop Corporation apparently implemented these outlandish anti-theft measures voluntarily. It's official: we're now living in the dystopian future dreamed of in 20th century sci-fi novels.
