Someone Needs to Save the Souls Working at Gamestop

[QUOTE="LZ71"]I've never understand alot of the hate GS gets. I've never had one bad experience buying a game there, most of the time they're friendly and nice people, who know alot about games. Maybe it's just the ones I go to.LZ71

You should've known by now, GameStop they sold you new games, BUT the thing is they weren't new they were used..... you thought you paid $60 for a new game didn't you? wrong.

Dont be sarcastic, dude.... I meant when you buy their brand new games lots of time they sold you used instead.... but do whatever you want with your money. for all I care.

[QUOTE="LZ71"] What? :? If you're trying to say that they've sold me a used game, then you'd be correct. It's so hard to find a new copy of Beyond Good and Evil.LZ71

Not when you paid $60 for a new one, like lots of people do, and get used instead..... when you buying used games then you would pay for the used prices, then it's okay..... that's my point.

[QUOTE="LZ71"] Your point? I only buy used anyways. What's the difference between used or new games? They all run the same.LJS9502_basic

Right, thankyou. ...that's why I buy games at BestBuy or WalMart now. always get the wrapped ones.

I've never been pushed towards preordering a game from Gamestop/EBgames before.

Yeah one time time this guy told me i couldn't run Crysis Warhead on my laptop... and i told him... "Well The original Crysis plays fine on my laptop."

Most of the time you have a-holes that think they know everything. But I know some cool guys that work at a couple gamestops and i talk to them... But for the most part i just don't go there.

Same thing happened when I bought Fallout 3.

"Are you sure your computer can run this? It's a pretty high end game to run."

"Well it runs Crysis Warhead on Enthusiast just fine."

"Oh... okay then. Thats good then."

I stopped shopping there when I found out those opened "new" copies of games aren't opened because they're display copies but because they allow the employees to take the games home and play them.

What's wrong with that? He asked you if you could run it, then said okay when you said you could. :?LZ71

Don't buy the opened ones then. Problem solved.

And when all they have is the opened copies (or so they claim)?

LJS9502_basic

And when all they have is opened copies (or so they claim)? And that's beyond the point. They sell copies of things marked as new and at full price when they've been opened and used. They don't bother to tell you about it having been used, either. I have no idea how they even get away with it from a legal standpoint.

Still decline to buy and check out Best Buy.Travo_basic

And that's just a waste of time. It would be much easier for me to just go to Best Buy in the first place, which is one of the reasons I don't shop at Gamestop.

I've never had any of these problems at a gamestop. I must get really lucky, out of all the gamestops I've been too in Florida and Georgia, I have not once had any of the clerks push pre-orders or anything on me.

Why did he delete that?:? Yeah then don't buy it there but the problem with Best Buy is they have a much more limited selection. Then too, I sometimes buy used games if I see one I missed the first time around and Best Buy doesn't have those.

LJS9502_basic

I added to my post. If the game is older then I just shop through Amazon. They have older games for just about the same price if not lower and it's new. And real new, not Gamestop's definition of it.

I buy used if it's a game I know I won't find anywhere else.Travo_basic

They have an antane in the back of their neck to make their job easier.

What kind of gamestops do you guys go to? Cause the ones I go to have pretty cool people except for the fact that they wont let me buy rated M games by myself. Just one year away..................

I do feel bad for those guys. It makes me want to pre-order, but I know that something will happen and I may not be able to pick it up that day and then I'll have spent five dollars for nothing.

Anyone else here buy games at best buy? They're great there.. 0Tyler0

Me! All the time, I like the BB Rewards. infact, I go BestBuy every weekend, they have prices from $9 to $69, and they are all brand new!

I... just go to Future Shop. Buy the game I want... leave.

Every so often, the nice guy tells me I'm buying an awesome game.

Once, when i tried to buy FEAR and the cashier wouldn't let me because I'm 14, an awesome guy who worked there said, "Here, give me the money, I'll buy it for you."

That sealed my loyalty.

You had a problem there, but you just didn't know it..)

The people in my local Gamestops are really nice people. They are always helpfull and nice and make you feel good when you leave. They were never pushy or annoying. I don't know, maybe it's just this city or something. Or was EB Games, I alwas get confused.

I did have one occasion with preodering, but it wasn't really annoying:

me"So does The Simpson's Game look any good"

GS"I tried the demo out and it was fun"

me"Are there any other good games coming in the near future?"

GS"Lego Star Wars 2 is coming out, you can preorder it"

me"No thanks"

GS"That's cool man"

That was about it, no issues.

I buy ALL my games at Gamestop, for years, and I've NEVER been once pressured to pre-order something.rockguy92
