lol neogaf thread.

we would have seen the handout by now if there was any truth to this.

and sure this is always possible and all because ms regulating used is a huge threat to gamestop but still you would think there would be some physical evidence seeing as how it is supposed to be a handout.

people who work for stores that rely on used game sales and hard disc games to be sold will make it their mission to make sure xbox 1 fails. Xbox one is going to be the biggest flop in the history of video gaming. Its sad but this piece of shit system has no good exclusives, a kinnect system that is only useful in large living room spaces lolll.. what about people who live in small apartments. what about people who play in small bed rooms. These rich spoiled pathetic kids will still go out and buy this crock of shit because they think its cool but this will be the biggest fail since dream cast This system alienates hardcore gamers people who work at video game stores, people who play video games in small spaces that cant utilize piece of shit devices like kinnect people who want to trade, sell, borrow thier games people who dont play online conspiracy theorists who paranoid about being spied on people who cant get online,, because of location people who have unreliable connections people who value thier money the poor ' lol who does that leave rich spoiled white kids from the burbs

I assume this is most likely an individual game store thing if it's real.  And if it is, I don't see any issue with it.  Gamestop relies on used game sales.  Not only that, a lot of people who buy systems aren't exactly informed.  If, for example, you live out in the middle of nowhere with some dodgy connection, or maybe a 56k connection, but your kid really wants a next gen system, you should know the Xbox One isn't for you. A lot of parents just don't pay attention and just buy the system.  That's why when we were all kids we would get a Playstation with no memory card... sorry, personal experience!

I could certainly see Gamestop making some moves to protect it's interests in the upcoming console cycle.  Hopefully the gaming press chases this down.  It would be nice to have some corroberating sources.

"Took my kids to Gamestop to spend their allowance.

My kid loves asking questions. He saw the video of how to share games on PS4. I loved his response. "Well dah, of course that's how we share games. That was stupid."

I was kind of embarrassed but the nice rep said you can't do that on Xbox One. That's why it's a big deal. He then looked at me and said dad, I want an PS4 for Christmas.

I just laughed as we have already on pre-order."

:-)

They are really showing that Yoshida video? :lol:

That is hilarious, even though I do not like Gamestop very much. Every time I buy a game there, the employees pester me about preordering a game, or getting a membership, or buying used instead of new because I could save five dollars. I don't go there anymore now. I buy most of my games digitally, and if there is a console game I want Best Buy is fine. The cashiers at Best Buy always let me just quickly buy my item and leave.

Good, regular GameStop customers need to be more informed. When I went to preorder my PS4 today, I almost decked a particularly ignorant (in both ways) Xbox fanboy yelling about how Xbox live was worth paying for to get a better connection.

Same. Went yesterday to preorder GTAV. I saw no fliers. I did see some employees trying to convince some people to preorder the PS4. :P
