FUCKING GAMESTOP

>pre-ordering games

What's the point? You won't get it any faster. They rarely sell out. You're giving people money for bullshots and stretched truths.

>Go to EB Games
>Trade in my broken black 3DS XL and use it to buy a *New* 3DS for Xenoblade
>Guy's eyes open wide at the 3DS I trade in
>Says he's never seen it in black before
>He excuses himself and gets the New 3DS
>The other staff member comes and they both begin wondering where I got a black 3DS XL from

I bought it from another EB Game store reeee it's not that impressive just give me my new fucking 3DS!

>order games on Amazon and don't have to waste my time and gas getting new(used) games from gamestop
fuck gamestop

As a former employee, cool regulars are the only good part of the job

Well that and the free shit you'd get every couple of months. That is, if your store manager didnt hog it all to themselves.

>Go to gamestop
>Pre-order Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for PS3
>Guy behind the counter is a total Chad who looks like he's high
>Game release day
>Go to gamestop to pick up my copy of the game
>Behind the counter is some fat stupid chick that doesn't know what she's doing
>She forgets to give me the pre-order bonus codes
>Realize this when i'm at home
>Have to go back to gamestop and explain to that stupid fat bitch behind the counter that she forgot something
Gaymstop never EVER again!

>special editions that you will only get if you pre-order
>exclusive DLCs
>ensuring that you actually get a copy

I guarantee you that pre-ordering games was something people were doing before you were born.

>order almost fucking everything from amazon
>it's somehow cheaper most of the time AND gets delivered to you AND you don't have to talk to anyone
As long as you have even the tiniest amount of patience Amazon is almost magical. I did all of last years Christmas shopping in like 3 hours and got everything within 3 days. If I had gone out to buy all that shit I would have been out for at least a week going to several different shops wasting time, money, and gas just to pay more for the same shit.

>years ago
>be me
>walk into gamestop with a bunch of weeb games because I was a poorfag and wanted a new game
>plop like 15 games on the counter
>tell them I want to trade them in
>guy at count says "eh, so your one of those "weebs""

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCKING GAMESTOP!

What the hell is going on in that picture?
Is she shilling her own porno?

>Ayo man, but my sex tape?

It's a music album or some shit.

>pre-ordering

You fool.

>Go to FUCKING GAMESTOP
>Be subhuman no car during the summer so I have to walk and ride bus
>5/10 Female cashier with tri-force tattoo
>Obvious le such a gaymur grill
>Grab what I came for
>Tries to upsell me a bunch of bullshit, shooting me weird smiles, like I'm some kind of desperate beta cuck
>My will is stronger than my dick so I don't go for the bait
>Obvious frustration in her face and looks
>Grab my shit and get out

And I thought the gaymur grill cashier whore was a meme

>go to gamestop
>ask if they have game
>guy chuckles to himself and asks fellow employee if they have game
>he chuckles to and says he doesn't think so
>he smiles smugly as he checks his computer
>says they don't have it
>proceeds to beat me over the head with preorder spiel

>wont sell out
That's actually wrong. Everytime I've decided I wont pre-order something and wait till release, it ended up selling out and I had to go digital.

>Go into gamestop
>Pre-order my Winter haul (Dishonored 2/Gravity Rush 2/The Last Guardian/Final Fantasy XV) all at once to get it done and over with
>Shoot the shit about COD and Battlefield with the cashier as he gets it all settled
>Politely decline the obligatory subscription shilling and such
>Sign-up for a loyalty card to get text message reminders about my pre-orders since it seems handy
>Tell him I hope he has a good day before I leave, he says he hopes I have one too

I still prefer ordering on Amazon though. If not for my student prime subscription ending I'd probably have used it instead.

What about OTHER game

Fire Emblem Fates actually sold out at my local gamestop day 1, I had to go to walmart to buy it. Pre ordering pokemon to avoid this

so you are one of those "weebs" user?
you went to gamestop to sell you're waifu?

>buy three (3) different new DS games on three (3) separate occasions
>they're still in their plastic
>get home and start playing them
>they have at least one save file on them

> looking for some niche game or product
> female on the counter with dyed blue hair
why even bother

all women do this when working at the register, even if they're not gamers. this is why most women are at the register because the managers put them there and know if women do it people might buy more, especially if they are cute or sexy looking.

Because I'll get a phone call when it's available so I know I won't forget it has released

>go to eb games to buy catherine
>two girls working behind the counter
>They're both knowledgeable about the game and tell me something I didn't know about it (the Alcohol facts)

everything went better than expected

>pre order monster hunter 4 ultimate
>we are sold out of the collectors version
>fine ill take the one with the key chain
>pay the extra 5$ for the keychain
>didnt even get the key chain on launch day

>me :hi im looking for a circle pad pro for my 3ds
>employee : a what ?
>me: *describes the fucking thing*
>employee: no we don't sell anything like that
he didn't even check the computer or anything just frowned at me like i was a retard
went home and got one off amazon

>bought pokemon pearl
>one save file
>00:00
>they were at the second town

I believe it. I remember around when the Wii came out I was looking to get a wavebird, the guy working the register didn't know what it was and swore up and down the GC didn't have a wireless controller.

you are a retard. goyimstop doesnt sell that kind of 2nd hand retailer shit

you never work retail? you get paid extra the more useless crap you can talk people into buying. if you're already working full time or can't convince them to give you more shifts it's the only way to get paid more when you're gonna be short on cash that month

"If you would give me 9s and 10s on this survey it would really help me out XD"

>I guarantee you that pre-ordering games was something people were doing before you were born.
Yes, there's been idiots for as long as humans have been around.

>Live in Florida
>Go to the Edison Mall
>There are TWO FUCKING Gamestops

i was talking about GAME, which is the bong equivalent and they have half the shop for 2nd hand shit

It's probably an old mall and one used to be Electronics Boutique or Babbages (superior)

That's easily explained. They have loads of games and decided it'd be profitable to open another store.

>pepperspray white cis scum at gamestop because i felt threatened
>be banned

FUCKING GAMESTOP

>tfw used to do the surveys all the time since I was a poorfag
>keep forgetting to do them now hat I have an actual job
>Gamestop bro slightly upset

Sorry man, I'll do the next one for sure.

They were really fast!

>go to gamestop after work to pre-order SMT IV:A
>they need to see my ID since I look underage

FUCKING GAMESTOP

>go to GameStop
>going to pick up Gears Of War 3 or something along those lines
>girl at the register looks like she wants to quit
>she's busy searching the draws for disc, manual, etc
>one of the employees from the other side of the store say something to tease her
>"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE"
>as she reacts to them, she knocks her boiling hot coffee onto my arm in the process
>arm in serious pain, coffee was that hot
>employees and manager freak out, quickly searching for first aid kit and calling ambulance
>week later after incident was dealt with by lawyer, I received a well written apology letter and $200 GameStop credit
>saved the credits up and used them for the PS4 launch

I still go to that GameStop. I think the woman was either fired, or just left to work elsewhere.

>tell them to not call anybody
>they called the police

REEEEEEE FUCK GAMESTOP

>Wasting money on shit you don't need
>Dlc (usually game breaking items) will be released later in season pass
>You do not have to worry about supply unless you're into niche weeb games.

I'm sorry to hear about your stupidity

Gamestop is so 2006

>girl knocks over coffee
>involve lawyer

People like you are what's wrong with the world.

>being THIS casual he doesn't know the release date of games he wants to play
Holy shit. I work a 70-hour week and I still know that shit, so don't pretend a job is preoccupying you.

Not that user, but at this point why not do it? specially when you know even the employees hate the company.

It would be one thing if you're suing some independent business owner and put him out of business, but it's a soulless corporate shit company we're talking about here, they literally waste tens of million in lawsuit insureance each year so they can be prepared for stuff like this.

>paid his lawyer a couple grand
>but it was worth it because haha I won, I got 200 bucks and an apology! haha i fucking beat them!
you sure did it, champ

Because, for one thing, like said, it's a lot more effort than it's worth. And it was an accident, accidents happen, if you go to court over every little mishap, you're just making life harder for everyone involved, with literally no gain for you.

One caters to a young silly crowd (you)

The other a more sophisticated gamer (me)

you could never be me. pic related is you

user, don't be so foolish. Any lawyer worth his salt will add his costs into the lawsuit itself when it's tiny little shit like this.

what happened is that he went to the lawyer to make sure his medical bills got taken care of by the company, lawyer went to a meeting with their corporate representative that lasted an hour, maybe two. And got away with $5000 he gets to pocket, the medical bills paid and a nice thank you note for his sucker of a client.

user pays nothing, the lawyer gets overpaid, everyone's happy.

Mostly because of E3 rebates and price cuts.

Problem with that way of thinking is that most companies will try to get away with not taking responsability for the ramifications of what their accident has caused.

Sure, this occasion it was just a burn. but there's people wronged by negligence by corporate entities all the time, and when it happens they will try to weasel out of it and not pay for the accident in question. Don't like it? move someplace else faggot.

>medical bills
>for a scald
HOLY SHIT YOU CAN'T FUCKING MAKE THIS SHIT UP LMFAO

JUST RUN IT UNDER A COLD FUCKING TAP

LIKE LITERALLY TAKE YOUR FUCKING SELF TO THE PUBLIC RESTROOM AND FUCKING PLACE YOUR ARM UNDER THE FUCKING AUTOMATIC TAPS FOR A FEW MINUTES

AND YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO RISK A SERIOUS INFECTION BY PRESSING THE TAP PLUNGER LMFAO BECAUSE ALL MALLS AND SUBSIDIZED PUBLIC RESTROOMS HAVE AUTO TAPS BY LAW LOOOOL SO NOW YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY DISINFECTANT FOR YOUR POOR HAND AND ANTIBIOTICS AT $15 A TUB

PHEW, WHAT A RELIEF THAT SHIT IS AUTO!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

MY ARM GOT SCALDED BY SOME CAWFEE BETTER CALL MUH LAYWER AND AMBERLAMPS CUZ SOMEONE CAUSED A LITTLE ACCIDENT LMAO

Why the fuck weren't your parents taken to court over your birth because holy shit that was the biggest mistake ever LOL

A MISCARRIAGE of justice is you ask me

They know me at my gamestop so no one ever asks me to pre order or anything. I do have a power up card or whatever though. That shit pays for itself each year and Ive never spent a dime on it.

I've had a worse experience at FYE. This media store.

>grab this cool star wars mug and head to the check out
>grill cashier "would you like to sign up for our in store card and save 10 percent off?"
>say no because I'm never going to go back into the store since it's so far
>"are you sure you don't want to save ten percent off?"
>yes
>"okay, did you want to get another cup with five dollars off part of an in store deal?"
>no, I didn't want to spend more money.
>"oh, okay."
>she continues to check me out
>"can I get your email address?"
>why?
>"so we can send you coupons and deals for the store."
>no
>she pauses and stares at me for a few seconds, sighs, then says "okay"
>finally pay for the mug and leave

F-FUCKING FYE
I understand pushing out deals to customers is part of your job but shit.

If the game is niche then its guarenteed that they'll only order preorder copies at least this was the case for Odinsphere Leiftraiser for me earlier this year.

Don't sperg all over just cause your autism doesn't let you understand the difference between an example and reality.

We have one of those at my mall and I agree it's fucking dogshit. The only people that work there are those half-weebs that want to talk to you about how they love anime and shit just like you do, but by that they mean they like Pokemom and Miyazaki films, and they get downright judgmental of you if you buy anything more obscure than that. I once got dirty looks from a cashier there for buying a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood DVD. Think about that.

Ausfag here. Back some 8 years ago BIg W sold us a 'brand new' American Wii that didn't even work out of the box.

But, fma brotherhood is good. Why do they have shit taste?

FMAB is considered a "gateway" anime, according to Cred Forums apparently.

they literally get fired if they dont upsell

Hmm long shot but Sarasota Florida?

So?

And?

weebs hate gateway animes.

>$200 gift card
>not sewing them for millions

top kek cuck.

It ain't just selling the things people want to buy to them. Their managers all get down their throats if they're not signing people up for programs, cards or preorders. Managers do this because regional managers get on their cases if their store isn't doing enough of these things. And so on. Most of these people hate having to bother their customers with this shit and would only ever recommend a preorder that seems in line with somebody's tastes if they didn't have to force the shit.

>be me in WV from a slightly affluent area
>everytime I go into GameStop there's always Cletus and a Hamplanet with their spawn waddling around
>people at the counter are always those nu make pseudo-nerds or some gamer grrrl
>I look like a completely normal person, maybe even Chad-mode
>have to make sure no one sees me enter game stop or else it will hurt my social status because normies associate game stop with weird people unless you're buying CoD or the new Madden

Woah

Hey guys

Welcome to EB Games

>just give my my new fucking 3DS!

Copy that

>>be me
Stopped reading there, frogposter.

And?
They really have to think of a better way to push that shit. All it makes me do is not want to go into the store and loath checking out.

What does that even mean?

babbies first animu

>go to G force in union street buy game
>get ambushed by junkies asking for a pound
>I am moral fag I comply

Why do the games shops all have to be on union street in Glasgow? It's the shittiest street in the whole city.

You are right. I am not preordering them any more

Should I get gamestops collectors edition of titanfall 2 or the regular collectors edition everyone else is selling?

Fuck them. They hate it cause that's how they got into it.

Gateway anime is the same as a gateway video game. It a good platform for people to get into a certain hobby. Like how pokemon is a good platform to get into other rpgs.

did you play the beta? It's shit imo.

But if you must buy shit buy regular for god sake don't let Jews fleece you.

>have TWO FUCKING GAMESTOPs in the same area
>whenever there's a pokemon event going on they both give me a shit ton of codes
>sell that shit online to BRs

>Ft. Myers
At least go to the one at coconut fampai

>go to FUCKING BEST BUY with a friend to grab Borderlands: The Handsome Collection since my group I play PS4 games with IRL keep trying to get me to play it and it was only $16 with GCU
>spend 10 minutes looking for a damn copy before realizing it was behind Tales from the Borderlands
>bought it and leave, proceed to instead go up to Long Beach and play D&D all weekend

>walk into game stop
>there's some fat guy floating around the store with a tablet
>apparently an employee, since he makes a beeline straight towards me and asks if I have a gamestop card
>tell him yes and hand it to him
>swipes it in and tells me how many points I have and all kinds of other shit
>tell him I just came in to browse around
>suddenly gets all flustered and tells me to ask if I need anything
>buy my shit then leave
This happened at least twice now, and it was the same guy each time. Does anyone else have these tablet employees around?

Best buy isn't all that bad. Unless you go to one that's in a black neighborhood with employees who will snap and give attitude to customers.

>Fall 20XX

Fucking Gamestop

Since Amazon started their prime discount I've bought maybe one game at Gamestop. Because I didn't want to wait for it to ship. With the prime now thing I may not even need to go for that reason anymore.

Saving $50 on the Titanfall 2 collector's edition feels pretty good. I only wish they could work out some deal where you get preordered games a day early so I song miss the midnight release play with my homies.

Pouring cold water on a burn is bad for it, user. Body temperature or lukewarm water is what you should do.

I played it on the GS expo. It felt better than the beta. Amazon it is then!

I think he might be making this story up, guys.

I'd say the helmet is cooler than the bust. Amazon for sure.

I'm buying both because I go full retard for the series

Gamestop in Cherry Hill New Jersey like 2 years ago had this bro for a manager. I'd walk in there and he'd remember me and say whats up. Every time I was there was for the Pokemon Card shit and he'd slide me two. The one time they had the Gengar and Diancie event back to back and he just said take two, I'll see you later. Got fired in early 2015. GameStop hasnt been the same since

Because I got 3 new releases for half price?
Only reason to pre-order.

>go to gamestop
>waiting in line
>the guy behind the counter is scamming every single person in line with the "extra insurance" and everyone is fucking buying it

>My wife's son said we don't need the extra insurance

>go to FYE and buy some DVD
>cashier is ruthless
>get scammed into signing up for 10 percent off
>3 months later realize FYE has taken about $50 off my card
>the thing they sign you up for is free for the first month but has an auto-renewal after that
>call FYE hq screaming until they return all my money

Never shop there, literally a fucking credit card scam

Fucking GameStop
