about 3 months i walked into my ebgames readier than ever to purchase a 60gb ps3... i asked the guy if they had any left and he walked into the back came out and said yes we do then said "if i may ask though, why do you want one"... i continued to tell him all of the reasons why i did (but i didnt know i had to haha) and all 3 guys working there continued to bash every freakin thing i said... such as the blu-ray player they said was going to fail and not worth it.. how resistance is the only good game out, and blah blah all that bull... anyways then they asked me if i had a 360 and i said yes i do and they said do you have gears of war and i said yes i have that also.. they said why do you need anything else and i ended up having to hear all 3 of them bash on the system endlessly.. i walked out of the store without a ps3 in my hand.. went back up the next day and purchased it.. now every time i walk into the store to purchase a ps3 game i have to endure dirty looks or them calling my stupid (whenever i dont even know the guys)... is it just me or is there a craaaaapload of people that just want to see sony fail.. i mean cmon guys its sooo dumb.. i have not been disappointed with my purchase at all and i love the system, and if i love the system now when there isnt even alot out yet, just imagine how much we will all love it in the future :D

They didnt give me such a hard time when I was at GameStop trading in my 360 for PS3, but they did asked nicely "May I ask why are you abandoned 360 and now go PS3?"..... I replied"Im tired of noisy fan, and spending money for XboxLive". I did got a good deal out of the trade-in tho..... I think GameStop and EBgames making more percent out of 360 sales or something? They're not only making money off 360systems amd 360games, also more money off XboxLive/points cards, etc.... All I wanted it is to save money just to play some online games, PS3 is FREEonline so. Not to mention PS3 will have better games too.

Do what I do. Don't buy there.   It's not worth the hassle to deal with those people.

Now I can understand if they were attempting to persuade you to purchase another console because they don't hink that PS3 is worth it, I have heard about it many times on these forums, however, what is really unacceptable is them harrassing you about your purchase. If that was me I would have smacked all three of them in their face, they don't know better than you, if you wanted a PS3 you should have gotten a PS3 on that very same day. dahaka_1

 

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Wanna know why EB Games/Gamestop are like this?  Cause it's all fanboys who work there. It's like walking into a comic store, you look around at these people and they have loser written all over thier faces....like live in thier parent's basement like of loser.

I have been to countless EB's, Gamestops, etc and never once have I been attacked by fanboy employees. I for the life of me don't understand why employees of a games store would want to stop people from buying their product...especially the expensive one's that drive the top line revenue of their store. If I was a manager of a game store and saw my associated doing this I would fire them on the spot.

Believe it or not, my EB Games is actually on Sony's side. They actually convinced someone not to get a 360 because of the overheating problems and such. Now Gamestop on the otherhand.....

when i went to go get mine they were bashing it cause the one in the stnad thing was constantly overheating, i continued to tell them "the 360 does that too, but the ps3 is doing it cause its in that little unventilated space, you moron. my friends 360 overheats when its out in the open with a fan on it....explain that." then he said the games suck "well have yoi played them?" (man)"no.." "then shut the ***k up" well that guys fired now, and the manager who rung the ps3 up for me is now like a friend lol.

I think just about everyone on this forum has had their EBGames/Gamestop stories.. It's quite absurd. I even called their corporate headquaters to complain.. Companies should be making money, no matter WHAT product they sell.. and the fact that all those idiots bash the Ps3 is lost revenue for the company.. that's extremely horrible business ethics.

what did the headquaters say to you?

Especially since many sources, including the New York Times predict that HD DVD will be getting the plug pulled on them by the end of this year. Best Buy is supposebly going to stop selling HD DVDs in a few months, got some friends who work there.

The fact that you put up with this deserves a whole other thread. I can't even engage what you said about people wanting Sony to fail. How in the world did you let some dorks push you around like that? Their job is to sell you merchandise. Not offer you their propaganda. Do you know what it is to say "just get me what I asked for before I call your manager and have you fired"? C'mon bro. You give us PS3 owners a BAD name cuz you let some dorks push you around. Next time handle yourself like a man.

i tried getting one at Bestbuy every day after it came out until New Years eve when a Best Buy employee told me that his buddy works at the local Gamestop said they had 8 of them.  I blazed over there and the associate was extremely helpful and an overall cool guy.  He was raving about some of the games coming out (even though I already knew cuz I do my homework).  He even talked me out of buying Blazing Angels and getting RFOM instead.  Idiot me bought it later but this guy didnt try to upsell me or even say anything remotely bad about the system.  He even threw in a free subscrition to Gameinformer which he didnt have to do.  I had a really pleasant experience there.  I ALWAYS buy from BB but if they dont have what i am looking for then I wouldnt hesitate going back there.  I am sure there are loser associates no matter where you shop for stuff, but I had no problems.

Ok if they suck so freaking bad why do you guys continue to give them your money? Take it to Best Buy or Walmart. I refuse to support idiots by not spending money on them. Seriously after all that you went BACK? Why? Is there absolutley no one else you can buy games from? The Gamestop I used to go to refused to turn on their PS3 demo machine, I left and never looked back, screw em! bob_dartagnan
this made me think of a story of one of my friends. He got out of college and landed a job at a good company. His whole young adult life he was salvating over the thought of a new BMW- sure they have their downsides (reliability, cost of parts and service, ect.) but they are also an incredible machine (like the PS3). He walked into a dealership ready to pay for a new one straight up (he had been saving for a while). Being a young guy, the salesman immediately steered him towards a used models without accually asking him what he wanted. He stopped the saleman and said he had to go. Four hours later he came up the lot driving a brand new 6-Series (about $75K worth of car) and waved to the salesman. He had gone to a rival BMW dealership upstate and picked it up. His moral was, tell those who give you ****ty service to **** off. You pay their paychecks, Dont let opinionated salespeople tell you what you want, make the point to go somewhere else and buy it. I dont shop at Gamestop or EB because the salespeople act like their word is god and the last thing I need is some 30 year old geek telling me what I should buy or enjoy. Take your money elseware. I dont need some gaming "expert" telling me that EA is evil just because I like to play TW 07 or Madden. Now I shop at BB almost exclusively. Sorry for the long post, things like this just get me raging haha

nah actually your story makes complete sense that one guy just ticked me off by saying that i gave sony a bad name because i didnt buy the ps3 that day?! whenever i went and bought it the next day.. so im giving ps3 a bad name by spending 600 bucks on their system a day late i guess..

Keyword: THE NEXT DAY. But whatever. You let some 150 pound loser tell you what you should do what your money and challenge you on what you want then fine. That's you. See me, I pay for my gas and time is money. There is no way in the world I would have let them make me leave cuz they have a bad opinion of the PS3.
