It's a voidable transaction but not automatically void. The parents could sue Gamestop but unless you do it in small claims court the cost of litigation (which you won't recover) would easily exceed your potential damages.

Also, keep in mind that this $500 game system may have sold for that much new, but if it's not new, and especially if it's not in the current generation of game systems, it's not worth nearly what you think it is.
