Gamestop irritates me

[Tokiopop]

The most I've been asked at Game (UK video game store) is would I like an accidental warranty... thing. They don't bug you or anything, and there's this nice lady who tells you of some cool offers, which I don't mind since they're normally quite good offers.

Yay England

TBH the regular American Gamestop guy is some nerd who is completely uninterested and non-responsive to anything you ask him unless it relates to World of Warcraft/other nerdy game. Although the guy I saw on Tuesday when I was gonna pick up The Conduit was nice and told me that Tuesday was the ship and not the street date. Otherwise, they lack a friendly face.

Google "Gamestop rant", you will get all the hate you can stand.

Request banning on all 4chan material. Some people just don't seem to understand that GBAtemp doesn't want that shit. Really, if you're into "teh lulz", just get the hell out.

I just don't get how gamestop can buy games for like $1 a piece and get away with it......

I worked for a while at Target. Great place to work, but if you're a normal cashier, you need to sell these target visa cards. Sure you can get 10% off everything for a day (or more depending on if you use it), but it's got 35% interest on it. I died a little every time I got someone to sign up.

I gust went in today and they had this buy 2 used get 1 free and it said that the free one had to be equal or lesser value I walk in and go to buy 3 games and they tell me that the cheapest one is free and the one that is 50 dollars will have to be paid the cheapest being 20 dollars and the other one being 35 so even though there making more than 100% profit off used games they still want to rip me off cheap bastards

gamestop epic lulz

Uhhmm. That isn't a Rip-Off. Every store does that. It's a standard.

Gamestop sucks.

I went in to buy a used PSP about a year ago and I asked the employee if he knew about the firmware level (or w/e) on 'em.
"What, for hacking?"
I lied and said I didn't have net access and was just curious if I'd have to update the fw, and the fucker just shook his head and walked away from me.

I haven't gone back since. Treating me like I'm some sort of damn dirty criminal....

They let me turn it on and stuff when I bought a refurb. I just looked at the FW very quickly

But the best way is to look at the serial number, but that was in the Pandora days. Now no one cares because of chickHEN

In the last 5 or 6 yrs gamestop has become very big here where i live,& yes they rip you off BIG time if you sell to them so the simple answer is DONT SELL to them

 

[SkankyYankee]

8 bucks they gave me for Bioshock 3 months after the release. Greedy bastards.

I wouldn't feel that bad, any sensible person will abuse the system by using the card and paying it off strait away.

yeah always happens in store happens less online unless ur in a live chat its not like u could do the leave a message 24 hours layyer no thing would'nt work

 

[DSGamer64]

So, they ARE still pulling that $5 more than everywhere else crap for new games eh? Pathetic.

At what point would stuff like that be considered price gouging? That IS supposed to be illegal....

Maybe in the USA, but games cost the same price everywhere here in Canada, however we get fucked royally if you want any kind of game cards for WoW, Wii/DSi and Xbox points cards are all a fucking ripoff. We are paying over 40 dollars after taxes for WoW cards, 24.99 plus tax for a Nintendo Shop card when it's a 20 dollar product in the USA, you can't say we aren't getting screwed because we are.

 

[Jimbobjoee]

I would ave just took the DSi, paid the money and ran like hell!
