Yeah, dude, I wanna agree with what you are saying, but I can't! I can't understand you!

Ever heard of grammar and punctuation? You might wanna try them next time, it's how people communicate!

Eh give and take with all employees of a company I say.  Everyone has an opinion jus like bumholes, they all stink y'know.  But he may not be far off on exclusive stuff.  Remember how PS3 fanboys were laffin themselves to death that assassin's creed would be a ps3 exclusive, only to have it blow up in there face.  I mean don't get me wrong Metal Gear will come to ps3 no doubt, but exclusive is a tough word to say nowadays.  Especially if Sony isn't the publisher, it's Konami.  They won't jump ship on the ps3, but it's all about money it'll be a cross console game sooner or later.

lol yea. i went to eb games to buy a ps3 on sunday (there was only one left btw, i checked online). i approached the clerk after searching the store for the last ps3 unit (it was hidden in the corner under a burnt out light near the ceiling), and asked him if they had any 60gb ps3's in stock. he paused for a moment, and then finally said that there was one left. i told him that i wanted to buy it, and he said "ok." he then proceded to walk into the back room to get a ladder. while walking there he said, "dude, get a 360 instead." knowing that i was going to get asked this question before entering the store, i already knew what i was going to say. so i quickly responded with "naw man, i already have one," and he replied with "good answer." btw i dont have a 360. so in case you run into somebody like this in an eb games or gamestop, you know what to say to avoid the insuing hail of questions as to why you want a ps3 instead of 360, and avoid the douchebag employees.

LAWL *pts on anti-eb/gstop hat* LETS SPREAD THE JOY/HATE!!!!

Seriously though...either I agree most of them are dumbasses but my EBs is great
KaptainKernal

MAN THEY ARE LOSERS! I swear, they only work their just because they can get the job easy, nothing else. They tarnish the image of video games...they really do. They are suppose to act as representatives on behalf of teh gaming industry, but they are, as u said, DUMBA$$ES! No doubt. 30 year old geeks who still live with their moms, or ppl who dress as bums. Either way, their appearance sorely stands out in the gaming scene.

I remember returning my first game at EB, it was the first Knights of teh Old republic. That game was decent, but man, I didn't like the Star Wars universe and the gameplay was boring AND tedious...anyways, when I returned it, the guy who was exchanging it had a big goofy smile on his face and started to reminisce about how this game was SO GREAT and how he "spent weeks ANd weeks with it"...wat a...wat a...wat a -dare I say it- NOOB! Seriously, just....ARGGHHH lol WAT A NOOB THAT GUY WAS! Lol The whole time he was talking I was just rolling my eyes...I seriously thought that guy was out of his mind. Man, if he thought THAT game was so good, he obviously didn't try World of Warcraft (iunno prolly wasnt out yet maybe lol) or MGS2/3...ARGGHHH lol. I was still an early teen back then...and what was he? 25? I even had better taste then THAT GUY! lol *waves hand like swatting a fly* Ughh...

Anyways...EBGAMES/GAMESTOP=GOOD QUANTITY IN GAMES, BUT BAD QUALITY IN SERVICE.

Even the employees in the electronic section at my local London Drugs act much more professional then the employees at EB...and come to think of it, London Drugs has much better quanitity than they do, too! I actually found a SIXAXIS there the other day, while in Futureshop, EB, and in BestBuy they're all sold out.

The "gaming" industry needs better representatives in order for it to really flourish as a source of mainstream entertainment. That, unfortunately, can be said with confidence and with disgust.

So that makes his point less valid? If a drug dealer thinks you have a drug problem, that doesn't mean he's wrong, if anything, that makes it even worse for the person being told there's a problem.

So a guy liked Knights of the Old Republic, talked about it, and that makes him a noob? Guess I and perhaps another few million people are noobs. Awesome how you mention WOW and MGS 2/3, but not any of their predecessors though.

I had the same experience at a local EB games....they told me all this junk about how ps3 sucks and why did i buy the ps3......no exclusives.....same crap.........they said ps3 hasnt worked out the buggs yet...i bought the warrenty i dont care what happens to it....ill exchange it twenty times if i have to........everything that comes out new for the first time is wanted by everyone......everyone wants the new stuff...they want to be up to date........why are they acting like its a big deal.......if noone cared about having new stuff or that exclusive garbage,,,,,,the whole world would have a ps2 almost all the games out there are for ps2 as well.....so noone would need an xb0x or a ps3.....

 Yea but a EB games employee shouldn't try an boycott PS3 through lieing about a lack of exclusives ...

 Assassian's Creed was annouced for 360 first and the devs. refused to call it exclusive for PS3 after for a reason ... 

Also MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive at the time and if it is annouced for 360 it'll still be a PS3 timed exclusive -- and the 360 version will need to be majorily downgraded ( no motion controls - content removed to fit it on 2 - 3 DVD9's ( currently MGS4 will use require a full 50gb Blu-ray disk ... which would be 6 DVD9's ... ) so yea MGS4 is preety much a PS3 exclusive no matter what ...

Well, truth be told, as of now, the PS3 does in fact, not have that many exlusives. Yes, later in the year the library will more then likely encompass a larger number of titles, but for right now, the bigger ones are still a slight ways off. And I didn't know the EB employee was attempting a boycott of any kind.

I work at a GameStop as a game advisor, and as a die-hard Sony fan am just as shocked and aphauled as you must feel. Just joking kid, although I really do work at a GameStop. I have an assistant manager who's just a little fart and I hear him talk about how the PS3 sucks too. I hate it when he does that because I think the system rocks. So here's what I want you to do, go back into the store and ask to speak to the Head Manager and only the Head Manager, they usually work during the mornings and early afternoons during the work week. If he ain't there just call them during those times. And tell that guy, or gal, what you overheard and how you're pissed off at that specific game advisor. Mention the fact that the PS3 is in its infancy and as such must be nurtured and cared for, not left out in the cold. Mention the fact that this game advisor, I assume, believes MGS4 is coming out for 360 which is complete bullcrap. And finally hit him where it hurts by saying that misinformation like the one his employee is spreading will not only hurt sales but tarnish the respectability of his store. That should almost get him to fire this guy! And too all you other haters out there who think all people who work at game stores suck, you're just plain wrong. Who do think got game stores like Funcoland to start the policy of buying back your 'near' worthless games for in-store credit, and then cash! Who do think has to prosess, clean and then retrieve your used games whenever you come into our stores. Who are the people that inform you of money-saving promotions going on in the store that you didn't know jack about. All you haters out there, if you still feel we do a lousy job then complain to our managers and get some results for yourself for a change.

Actually I am correct. It is called suspension points. I could not remember how many off the top of my head. It is supposed to be 4 at the end of the sentence not the 5 or 6 I used.

That should almost get him to fire this guy! And too all you other haters out there who think all people who work at game stores suck, you're just plain wrong. Who do think got game stores like Funcoland to start the policy of buying back your 'near' worthless games for in-store credit, and then cash! Who do think has to prosess, clean and then retrieve your used games whenever you come into our stores. Who are the people that inform you of money-saving promotions going on in the store that you didn't know jack about. All you haters out there, if you still feel we do a lousy job then complain to our managers and get some results for yourself for a change. victorgonzalez
I respected the first half of your comments, but then when you turned around and began to discuss the virtues of in-store credit, I wanted to gag, as Gamespot/EB is notorious for their pricing, both for buying and selling. Right here is where I mention that there are video game trading sites, where you can trade straight accross with other people, 'tis a much better deal.

So then the use of your multiple "periods" would be a contradiction then.

No.....

Now you're just being silly. And I love it.

Actually I am correct. It is called suspension points. I could not remember how many off the top of my head. It is supposed to be 4 at the end of the sentence not the 5 or 6 I used

... Fine then, you get no love.

All i know is, at my Gamestop, in Iowa, they pay minimum wage ($5.15/hr) and give employees 10-15 hrs/week. i know cause i interviewed there back in high school and decided i'd rather work at Micky D's for way more pay and hours lol. It's no wonder with that pay their employees are rude and too opinionated when all you want to do is buy something and not have a debate about everything you want to buy. This i why i go to Wal-mart, always no debate and they don't always ask if you want a magazine subscription, ALWAYS. lol

Side note - Anyone remember back when gamestop/eb used to sell new games $5 more expensive than the retail stores? They probably did thinking people would think there used games were better value or people now know what they should pay for a new game...either way i feel sorry for the chumps that bought new games from them back then.

Oh and snyper1983, you especially suck for believing that the "representatives" of the gaming industry need changing.  We, yes I work as a "game advisor", are not representatives like you think we are.  We're low paid employee's of a system that's simply created to drain you of your assests so that their's can get bigger.  GameStop, the company that owns EB, made record profits, like somewhere in the billions, off of you and your mother's stupidity for buying videogames in the first place to satisfy some ridiculous and growing American need to be entertained at the push of a button.  Now I know that all this sounds hypocritical of me considering that I work for a video game store and I freaking love video games like Resistance and MGS4, but as hypocritical as it might sound my statements don't detract from the truth that I'm just another ant in the colony, as are you.  So the next time you come into our store's, don't expect us to hold you by the hand while "you" ask questions like what kind of Pokemon games are out for the SP or whats the difference between the PS3 and the 360.  Be a good little consumer and find out for yourself by going online and visiting a user-friendly website like this one to find out what you want to know and then trek it to the store to pick up your merchandise.  Till then inform yourself and stop expecting people to hold your hands through life's toughfies like blue pill or red pill.  :D

Listen guys, I can't speak for the industry or even for other employees, but I know we seem a bit pushy, persistant and opinionated and even cranky at times.  And theres not much excuse for it, but if you really want change you gotta voice your opinion.  Like telling us you find it offensive when we give out shoddy info that you know is wrong or that you find it overly persistant when an employee always asks you to sign up for the magazine, which for Christ's sake is only $14.99 and offers you a host of different ammenities for an entire year including the mag, 10% off used games and 10% more for trade-in's.  It practically pays for itself in a few months with enough trade in's and purchases.  But all joking aside I love gaming and "freedom" and Mickey D's, the whole shebang.  But I will forever hate the system that basically forces us to make those choices without too many other viable "healthy" alternatives.  I know I'm ranting right about now but I'll always feel its important to reach the youth of America and tell them that they themselves can change any aspect of their life they don't agree with.  Including getting people to stop trying to sell you magazines and finally getting industry in general to listen to the consumer.

If you fully read my responce to the forum question or statement you would see that I tried to convince that kid to get that employee and I quote " almost fired "... No one should put up with misinformation, especially when its that stupid!

In the Gamestop/Ebgames interview process you have to check which console you hate the most and then rate out of ten how much you hate that console. The people who say PS3 and 11 (or higher) out of ten get the job.

Why did you even mention my name? Not one thing you said is relevant to anything I have posted in this thread. So next time before you make yourself out to be an idiot, make sure you are calling out the right person....

It wouldn't matter as there are OTHER car dealerships. And just because that ONE salesman is like that it doesn't mean others are.

Either way, you can complain about Gamestop/EB on a message board and try to start some Boycotting Revolution OR you can go to Wal-Mart / Target / some other store where they don't give a damn about video games.

The employees are individuals, they're obviously going to have their opinion on video games / and systems since it's something they deal with EVERY DAY.

Personally, even reading just this website with the news of Sony talking about a price drop if there was a PS3 fence sitter saying, "Well...I dunno..." and I worked at an EB or GS video game store I would tell them to wait for the price to drop.

Now as an employee for a business are you going to just let said customer walk out the door? Or would you try to suggest another system for them to play while they wait for the "newsworthy PS3 price drop"? Which system would you suggest? The Wii? Which you don't have in stock. Or the PS3s direct rival? The 360.

Not as a video game player remember.... No no no. As an emplyee for a business.

Obviously, if the consumer is a PS fan then heck yeah, let em eat the cost, but someone just thinking about getting one? I don't think so, not with the talk of the price drop.

now with all the systems (ps3, wii, 360) having one year warranty's out of the box...Gamestop and eb games warranty doesn't kick in till the year after your purchase till then you have to deal with the system manufactuer.

Also my eb doesn't have the problem with un informed advisors...you have to study to sale the reserves. which game is hot...what good about it. yada yada yada. Matter of fact I can't seem to recall myself ever having a problem at eb. Guess I've been lucky.

too many 360 fanboys working at those game stores tsk tsk that leads to bad customer service. they should be a little professional on selling what the customer wants not what they expect the customers to buy.

Thats how those employees get there hours...the stores are based off a few key things...this is how employees get raises, more hours, etc...

First the stores are based off of comp and used comp Percentage

Then there rated on GI's, Reserves and Customer service.

Employees are rated off of GI's, Reserves and Customer service precentages. The better the numbers the more hours for the store and therefore the more hours for the employee.

[QUOTE="KaptainKernal"]LAWL *pts on anti-eb/gstop hat* LETS SPREAD THE JOY/HATE!!!!

Seriously though...either I agree most of them are dumbasses but my EBs is great
glitch2424

MAN THEY ARE LOSERS! I swear, they only work their just because they can get the job easy, nothing else. They tarnish the image of video games...they really do. They are suppose to act as representatives on behalf of teh gaming industry, but they are, as u said, DUMBA$$ES! No doubt. 30 year old geeks who still live with their moms, or ppl who dress as bums. Either way, their appearance sorely stands out in the gaming scene.

I remember returning my first game at EB, it was the first Knights of teh Old republic. That game was decent, but man, I didn't like the Star Wars universe and the gameplay was boring AND tedious...anyways, when I returned it, the guy who was exchanging it had a big goofy smile on his face and started to reminisce about how this game was SO GREAT and how he "spent weeks ANd weeks with it"...wat a...wat a...wat a -dare I say it- NOOB! Seriously, just....ARGGHHH lol WAT A NOOB THAT GUY WAS! Lol The whole time he was talking I was just rolling my eyes...I seriously thought that guy was out of his mind. Man, if he thought THAT game was so good, he obviously didn't try World of Warcraft (iunno prolly wasnt out yet maybe lol) or MGS2/3...ARGGHHH lol. I was still an early teen back then...and what was he? 25? I even had better taste then THAT GUY! lol *waves hand like swatting a fly* Ughh...



How could you not like KOTOR?  That's seriously one of the best RPGs ever made.  I mean if you don't like the Star Wars universe......why would you buy STAR WARS KOTOR (it's plainly on the cover) in the first place?
