Does anyone see the close relationship between the matters of GameSpot's huge 360 fanbase/PS3 bias and GameStop's huge 360 fanbase/PS3 bias?

:P

I hate gamestop too.

Yeah, those guys are really annoying sometimes, they are right sometimes, but who cares, most gamers already know what they want before they start there car to walk in the store so maybe they should just keep there comments to themselves.

Yep. Remember that some of these fanboys were Sega/Xbox1 fans. So, they have a vendetta against Sony. They are "fair and balanced" like FOX NEWS!

I used to see this at other stores and at one GameSpot downtown. The GameSpot closer to where I live though (I just found it the other day) actually is a big PS3 pusher. They were all over the PS3 today when I bought FolkLore. Two of the employees (one of them the manager) are PS3 owners, so that may have something to do with it.

at the gamestop i work at, were anti nintendo. lol which is is easy to be when every week were recieving 50 new absolute trash shovelware ds and wii titles. im the only ps3 owner on staff,but we have legitimate debates on the systems. were not hardcore fanboys.we realize a good game is a good game no matter what the system.if weve played a game well offer a coustomer our opinion but weve never hassled them. even if theyre buying trash, that bad game purchase is paying my paycheck, so who would insult or infuriate a customer? yea it kicks ass working at a game store but its a business first and foremost, so fanboyism has no place. theyre lucky for your business cuz im sure you could have just bought the game at walmart or something and enjoyed a stress free trip.

Bestbuy sales guys are little bit(just a little bit) pushy, on all platform. When they see you approach a system and start thinking and looking around, often they'll come up and offer assistance. But I've never heard them bashing any other system to sell the one you seem to be interested in or to pursuade you into buying the other ones. So I do consider BB to be a much better place for shopping games(usually a much bigger parking lot for much easier parking also). They just don't have as many stores as GS/EB

Ok I see... and wow he is a serious troll. Did you look at his reviews in his profile? he rated multiplat games either 10 or 1.0 based on if it was on the 360 or PS3. example NBA live 08 PS3 score: 1.0, and NBA Live 08 360score: 10. lol, this guy really needs a life.

It's his money, and it's up to him to get whichever version he wants. Not like he hired that guy to be his financial advisor. And no need to ask him to get a life, this is his life. Total dedication to his one console.

Well, i am from Singapore and i glad this never happens in any of the game shops here. All i can say is, more Amercians love the 360 than the PS3. So.....it's pointless listening to them, just buy the game and get the hell out of the store. And the Thread Starter, you had done a great job. :)

I'm in my local GS quite often and have never seen the salespeople try to sway a customer one way or another. Why would you let some cashier's opinion affect your purchasing decision?

I just bought a PS3 from Gamestop and they were trying to hard to get me to keep my 360 and I couldn't help but laugh at them trying to turn down business just because I prefer the PS3 to the 360.

I don't think they're fanboys so much as just jerks.

I've recieved attitude for such things as trading in games, asking if they had any demo discs, asking if they had any used memory cards, buying controller extention cables.

basically they think they're smarter than you and cant wait to belitte anything you're doing.

I kinda have a similar story. I went to gamestop one time to purchase rainbow six. the game was just launched so I asked the guy if the game was selling well, he told me flat out that "PS3 owners need something to play". I was shocked to hear that. At the time I was pretty happy playing Resistance and MotorStorm. Why do they have to make such stupid comments?

yeah most of the xbox fanboys are the same ones that play the first person

shooter games all the time and put bogus code in to cheat on-line

just so they feel good about them selves i think 360 is just a cheap Pc

myself just think about it most of the games for 360 come out on

the pc with bettter add ons most of the time better graphics on the PC too..

Because, like all fanboys, they like pissing off the people that don't worship the ground they walk on and only play exactly what they play. That's why.

I would like to say something but the mods like to run me over when it comes to me making "the other box" comments on the PS3 board. That's why I've hopped on the official playstation forums, very comfortable there. I just thought this thread was a little interesting but my comments stop there.Ya'll are freely talking about "the other box" but I'm sure a mod will notice sooner or later. So All I'm going to say is before I go...

I just don't get it, everyone says this and yet gamestop has done nothing to remedy, someone needs to get the BBB. (ithink)

Anyways achievements are cool, however if you are not into them it's not really a plus.

RahKayne
When you start playing for achievments you lose focus on the original game. 2 thumbs down. I went into Gamestop last week to prebuy Haze and Uncharted and the idiot behind the counter was like " FOR the X_BOX360?". Stuff just blows my mind.

You guys are morons yourselves if you really think ALL GS/EB employees are biased. I've been a to couple of those stores that promoted the PS3 and pushed it on me. Did I think they were biased? No, I just figured that it was something they were trying to sell or that they were big fans of. Why does it concern you? Do you think that $ony is losing money because of GS/EB being biased? The answer is no. Try not to get your panties tied too tight--relax. If they are trying to sell you something you don't like, then just say no. It's really that simple.

It doesn't matter what a person behind the desk thinks is a right thing.

When I walk into the store to buy PS3 game I don't need anyone to persuade me otherwise. If someone is giving you a problem, kindly ask for his manager to speak with.

You will see how the table changes.

Though I have yet to encounter a person trying very hard to sell me X360 in EB store I have had few good arguments, but nothing serious.

You have to understand that not every EB/Gamespot or other gaming store is the same. People who work could be a fan of particular system, the could talk to you about it, have a little joke or conversation. It's natural and you don't have to talk to them if you don't want to.

Try not to take things to serious, in the end it's your money and your purchase. I always try to have good time when buying a game.

Wow! guy seems like yout theonewho has hispanties in bunch, insulting people here. perhaps you just need a hug or something. In regards to Eb and GS, in the store i go to I have the best of both worlds. The employees are split down the middle btw PS and MS. I like going there to instigate a argument btw them by asking which one is better or which has a better version ofparticulargame.

You have to admit, though, that the Achievements on the 360 are a fun addition. Sometimes I find myself playing a game longer than I normally would just for a few extra Achievements. Hopefully Sony gets Home and the Trophies together soon.

There are a lot of vulnerable consumers that get easily persuaded this way.

Maybe Microsoft gives them bonuses... I'm joking but yet I wouldn't be surprised if that was ever true.

i think it just depends on the gamestop you go to.... unfortunately, they dont pay their people too well so a majority are high school fanboys. The one near me is pretty good. The manager has all systems and likes them all so he keeps his people in line. Once and a while I'll get a comment about ds vs psp or something like that but never any pressure to only buy one console versus another. I think they are smart and realize that any money coming into the store is a good thing, regardless of platform. As a salesman, if you try to push one format over the other you risk pissing off a fanboy or unbiased person who may decide to never go back to that store...

Wow, someone without a life---you go to EB/GS just toinstigate an argument. That's the lamest thing I've ever heard of. I don't think you should be the one talking about other people. Thanks for the laugh. Please reply again, unless you're too busy instigating at EB/GS. :)
