So I went to EB games today...

Just to preorder DMC4 for the 360. I wanted that limited edition they had. So I go up to the counter and tell him that I wanna preorder. As he is at his computer typing, he asks if I have a PS3. I tell him yeah. All of a sudden he tells me that its better to get it for the PS3 because thats were the series started. I tell him no because I like the 360s controls better.

So he keeps trying to convince me that the PS3 version is better and all this bullcrap. And I'm like I dont care. The guy still wouldnt let me preorder it and starts saying how it is tupid of me to get it on the 360, and then he starts saying if Halo was on playsation people would still buy it for the xbox, Which had nothing to do with what was happening.

At this point I am losing my patience. I start yelling at him to stfu and just let me preorder. And then the guy says that they have run out of 360 versions of DMC4. I know he was lying. So then I grab his tie and pull him towards my face and say that If he doesnt do his job right I would land a punch on his nose. At that point security came in and kicked me out. Yeah that sucked.

I mean, why do people who work at EB/ Gamestop have to be such jerks just because they are hardcore fanboys.

Worst of all I didnt get my preorder limited edition. EB is the only place I know that has it, and I don't want to go back with that a$$hole in there.

Fanboys can crawl out from anywhere. I have had EB assistants telling me the ps2 has "all the polyLONS"??!! and to not buy a wii cuz the ps3 is out and has "better motion Rumble"...

If only guns were readily available in UK.

hmmmm.. you pulled his tie?...

Are you sure you're not making all this up?

Yea...and Bill Gates is at my house right now, telling me about how Microsoft will be dissasembled the day he leaves and all the money will go to Charity right away. that's why they're selling all their gaming divisions...in March Windows will be sold to Apple...and in June EA will buy the gaming division. I pulled Mr. Gates tie and asking him "WHY?"...he said because of fanboys.

Whatever.Hoobinator

The fact is fanboys infest game stores. I cant think of another product where you get so much hassle from assistants if you dont buy the console/game they want you to. Half the time they know nothing about games, release dates, formats, history of gaming (i.e that Playstation was not the first console made.) pc tech, periferals, latest happenings in the gaming world..........

so is mine...guess u bought that 360 for no reason and you're the reason ms is imploding on itself

Personally if I was ether a customer or a employee and someone did that I would beat the crap out of them, personally that guy could press charges if you did "assault" him and you could see jail time or a hefty fine.Ballroompirate

I know. Its just that i got real pissed at him. It really was none of his business.

This all sounds a bit.... exaggerated - no offense.

You seriously believe that story? I for one have never seen a employee at a game store wear a tie in the first place. I know it's not the same everywhere, but this story is full of bs.

and its was none of your business grabbing his tie, actually to come and think of it I've never seen a EB or Gamestop employee wearing a tie...and I've shopped there for video games for 6 years.

Just to buy various frozen meats for the oven. I wanted that Double Beef Blend they had. So I go up to the counter and tell him that I wanna buy. As he is at his register typing, he asks if I have a barbeque. I tell him yeah. All of a sudden he tells me that its better to get it for the barbeque because thats were the cooking started. I tell him no because I like the oven's controls better.

So he keeps trying to convince me that the barbeque version is better and all this bullcrap. And I'm like I dont care. The guy still wouldnt let me buy it and starts saying how it is stupid of me to get it for the oven, and then he starts saying if pork was for the oven people would still buy it for the oven, Which had nothing to do with what was happening.

At this point I am losing my patience. I start yelling at him to stfu and just let me buy my various frozen meats. And then the guy says that they have run out of barbeque versions of meat.

Yeah that sucked.

I mean, why do people who work at the butchers have to be such jerks just because they are hardcore fanboys.

Worst of all I didnt get my various frozen meats. Foodtown is the only place I know that has it, and I don't want to go back with that a$$hole in there.

Wait what? :|

Funny how a lot of the people servicing game departments or stores don't know much about games. Funny and annoying.

Best part of your story is that he was right.......ha ha ha.

Had a dude at a K-Mart tell a buddy of mine that a 80GB PS3 wouldn't play any PS1/PS2 games and wouldn't play some of the PS3 titles. Wha, wha, what?!?! What a moron.

Its bound to happen. Walk out your front door, grab a rock, and throw it. I bet you'll hit someone without any knowledge of games. And I think that's pretty much how GameStop hires people.

TC must've felt like a real macho man pulling the nerdy employee's tie. I wonder what the size of this employee was. I never put my hands on anyone unless I have to. majadamus

Yeah, I started wondering the truth behind the story at this point. Sounds a lot like that nerdy kid at school who would come back from spring break talking about how he got with some girl from another country. Knowing he could say whatever he wanted because we weren't there.

SOUnds like a story that is only %10 based in reality. I have no doubt you went to preorder and they guy made some stupid comments. It seems to be what EB employees do.

Everything after that is clearly BS.

You should order the PS3 versionHeil68

and its was none of your business grabbing his tie, actually to come and think of it I've never seen a EB or Gamestop employee wearing a tie...and I've shopped there for video games for 6 years.

Ballroompirate

Yeah me either. I think the TC is making up the story.

Listen you guys this story is true. Its not like i'm gonna go through all that trouble writing a fake story for no reason.

dragon_master11

Yea somhow I dont believe that story, for one EB employees are minimum wage kids who dont wear ties. Number two, these people keep their jobs based off of how many preorders they make. They would take your preorder for SSB on the PS3 if they could just to keep their jobs.

Interesting story, but although they are quite fanboyish because they are of SW age, this story sounds bogus.
