I've never really had a bad experience with Gamestop. Other than their batshit insane prices on used games, I never have trouble with them. I guess it helps that the one guy that works there somehow knew me by name. Apparently, we worked in the same office building for a while (Gamestop was a part-time side job) only on different floors. I only ever saw him there once, but he still recognizes me as a coworker and treats me as an equal when I go to Gamestop. Even went out of his way to when I bought my 360 used to make sure I got the one that another gamestop employee just traded in. The thing was in damn near perfect condition. Even the used controller felt like new. It was a special edition Halo controller too.
It seems like everyone at that store is fairly knowledgeable. And they don't deny that their prices on used games and trade-ins are horrid. The girl that works there even brought her own 3DS in to let customers play before they got there in-store display set up.
It's because they want you to buy the new copy. Everything is pretty much only 10% less for used.Originally Posted by tayls
The employees make any store. Usually they are grumpy/dickish/dumb at Gamestop. Plus, if I was working there I know I wouldn't give an eff.Originally Posted by tayls
One of the people at a local place I go to was in a pissy mood today. I trolled after making my purchase.
I've never really had a ton of bad experiences with Gamestop in the past, although the one I used to frequent was nice because my cousin knew everyone who worked there so they were always pretty nice to me. The prices are ridiculous and what not so i stopped going there and started doing everything through online retailers. I feel bad because that one I used to go to got shut down, and everyone was fired, and they were generally nice people. But life sucks =(, just gotta deal with it.
So shit, I was rereading this thread for w/e reason and was reminded of GREAT RAGE. One time when I was looking for an NISA game (it was AT or MK I can't remember which) Gamestop had a used copy. So of course just the case is out, I ask if it has the bonus contents and the guy tells me with a straight face that they throw that stuff out when they get it with a used copy. GO DIE ASSHOLE.
That's absolutely pathetic... I recently spotted some CE version of a 360 game that was unusually cheap. I brought it up and the clerk was like "oh, we knocked a few bucks off that because it's missing it's bonus disc". I didn't even know that was possible within their pricing system
You're clearly the reason they're going bankrupt
*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here
He wasn't going to be wrong about it either. Wish I had a camera with me for his face.
Most places I know won't take a CE like the DMC4 tin if it's missing the bonus disc and if they do they take it as disc only and toss the tin.
