Ok, I just got back from EB Games to get a copy of R6V and this is what happened. I called in yesterday to see if they got R6V in and the guy said they did so I planned to go get it today. So I go up to the counter and he says that all of the copies that they had were pre-ordered. So I'm pretty pissed at this point and then he checks the list of preorders and notices that one of the employees had pre-ordered a copy. He then says, "Screw him, he's the one who probably didn't tell you that they were pre-ordered copies anyway." and he sells it to me! So I'm happy, and then he starts talking about Lair and LBP and he showed me some awesome Rock Band info to boot! It just goes to show you that not all EB/Gamestop employees are PS3 haters! Oh and it was an EB Games in Northeast Kansas if you were wondering!

My EB Games in N.E. Pennsylvania has never been fanboys. They simply ask what console you have and suggest deals they have coming up for that console.

i got my vegas today from eb too. for some reason it was a girl working there which i have never seen and she was actually cute (great a$$). her being cute isn't the wierd part, it was the fact that she was cute, and we had a 15 minute conversation about lair and heavenly sword, she knew everything about them i was impressed, talk about a bomb gf

yeah the dudes at my gamestop here in oregon are pretty chill. whenever i buy a ps3 game they never give me any crap about it, they just tell me to enjoy the game because they can't afford to.

There are some d-bags out there though that are fanboys...

lol. You should have just checked on the internet. In case you still don't know the release date, it's July 3. I've had that game preorded for a while now. I can't remember whether or not I bought the CE or the regular edition. It doesn't really matter though. I'll be happy either way.

I live up by Sandusky ohio (Cedar Point) and I have never had problems with purchasing a PS3 game. There is one fairly good-looking gal up there but by my standards maybe.

all the people at EB up the street from me are 360 fan boys, I rang to ask if the darkness (on ps3) was out, which I was shamed cause they did say the PS3 version was designated to come out today the 29th of june and when I asked if it was out on PS3 he grunted as in like "pfft ps3 whatever" so i'm pretty shamed that I have to go to the EB near me if there going to be die hard 360 fan boys and PS3 haters.

Well it seems like my gamestop isnt the only one. I remeber me and my friend were talking about some rounds we played in resistance and all of a sudden one of the managers walks by and says who ever bought a ps3 is stupid, then trys to correct himself saying that we should have waited till there were more games for it.

That guy is a douche. If I met that guy I would have jammed the corner of the case into his eye or something. I live near Philadelphia and I actually interviewed some employees at a local EB games for an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. They were all nice about it and none of them seem to be fanboys. There should be some background check or something so they can fire those people. No one wants to buy a game and then hear the manager call you a moron.
