I don't know if you guys remember the old post I put up where I went to this particular gamestop and asked them about whether they had any 60gigs left and when the 40gig was coming in. That manager or sales rep said that since the 40gig was not here yet, that I should go ahead and get the 360. I was like huh? I never asked anything about the 360. So a funny thing happened today Nov 3. Since the 40gig arrived, I called that same gamestop and asked them whether they had any available. The rep tells me to wait while he asks the manager. Then the rep tells me "that yes we had them in stock, but the street date releaseis not until tuesday or some crap like that". He said that is what the manager told him. I was like "REALLY?" because all along I thought we can start buying as of Nov 2. So this is the same gamestop location that told me to get a 360 and now they are trying to delay me in getting a PS3, LOL FANBOYISM evidence to the max, that managerlost my business.So I called another gamestop location just down a few more blocks, asked them if they were available, they said YES, and yes I got mine on Nov 3. Can't wait to play my games!

I honestly can't understand why their doing that. They must be getting paid off. Not with money but with swag.

Would n't they lose a lot of money if they try to sell something the customer doesn't want.

Iremember when I had my PS3 pre-ordered at EB. They called me to advise the releasewas being delayed and asked if I wanted to purchase a 360in the meantime at a "special price".

I politely said no thank you, but immediately thought it was some kind ofstrange sales strategy.

Ah well, maybe not fanboyism on thier part but definitely on mine.

I don't know how true this is but I heard microsoft has some stock in GS/EB,that may be the reason for the fanboyism at some of the stores.

I heard they get incentives or some kind of bonus for pushing 360's.

You call them retards, but cannot correctly use the word "there" in a sentence. Interesting.
