Gamestop Mobile

[prowler]

prices start at $20 a month for a pay-as-you-go plan that costs 10 cents per minute or text message, and unlimited talk and text starts at $35 and up, with $45 adding 100MB of data, and $55 getting you 500MB of data. There's also a 1GB data-only plan for $55 a month. None require contracts.

Wait...Wait...Wa-what? Gamestop Mobile...I seriously have no idea how to react.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

You mean Gamestop?

I think Walmart has something like this in the US, so it's not...too surprising.

"Starting next year, Gamestop will begin to develop their own satellites to utilize their new space program."

We all know it's coming.

"$55 getting you 500MB of data"

You mean Gamestop?

whatever

I seriously hate all these "Pay for ____ MB of data" BS. It's the only reason keeping from getting a smartphone.
And all the unlimited plans that are available are just way too overpriced IMO.

Best joke I have heard all day.

500MB for $50 a month? Let me laugh even harder.

At least you're dipping your toes into the pool, Gamestop. I can't say I'm tempted to dive in with you, though.

Silly Gahars, you know Gamestop can't swim.

Oh, but they sure can splash about.

Ugh, GameStop taking in Smartphone trades, Selling Tablets, and doing cellphone Service? Why don't they just call themselves RadioShack 2.0?

Ugh, GameStop taking in Smartphone trades, Selling Tablets, and doing cellphone Service? Why don't they just call themselves BestBuy 0.5.

Fixed. Until Gamestop starts selling musical instruments, PCs, Netbooks, general PC equipment, PC Software, TVs, and other various electronics maybe then we can start talking.

Gamestop's overpriced plans with AT&T. Hopefully it fails but knowing the consumer it won't. Ya, most early versions start small then expand so I think the analogy works. They do sell some PC software but just games.

Ugh, GameStop taking in Smartphone trades, Selling Tablets, and doing cellphone Service? Why don't they just call themselves BestBuy 0.25.

Fixed. Until Gamestop starts selling musical instruments, PCs, Netbooks, general PC equipment, PC Software, TVs, and other various electronics maybe then we can start talking.

Along with washing machines, other appliances, and even furniture in some locations.

Aggh! And I put BestBuy in there at first too.

WOOO! 1,500th POST! I GUESS I REALLY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO!

I gave it a .5 because they both rip their customers off in some way or another, but I suppose a .25 would suffice
