GS employee here. Fuck you. We know the company is just like any other, shiftless and cruel, but for the most part we aren't in there even promoting the product replacement plans, and you guys buy the damn accessories on your own, IN DROVES. We reccomend good games, you guys choose in the end.

Good work, I give you a 9/10, you had me up until that line!

>>24384104

You speak only for your store, though.

I have 3 Gamestops within walking distance (seriously guys space the fuck out will ya you are suffocating me). Only 1 I shop at because they don't jam stuff up your butt.

>>24384104
If you aren't promoting the plans, you aren't actually doing your job.
You can't really argue about this, dude. You are an employee, so you are just doing what you have to, and that is fine. But GS as a company is pretty shitty if you are a consumer. I'm sure it is no picnic being employed by them, either

Fixed that for you

I don't seem to have the angst regular /v/igins have towards GS, but I still hate the place because you don't even see if the used products are functional.

play 'n trade was here
gamestop is a loser

>>24384172
Actually, no, the company doesn't promote US to promote the replacement plans to YOU. They don't give nearly half as much of a shit about those as they do about preorders and subscriptions, which we really only need a few a week, as a store, to gt by.

Thats what the 7 day return policy is for. I have even abused it a few times for "rentals".

>>24384231
You have no stock... ever.

GameStation > GameStop.

>>24384225
7 day return policy. You guys bring us so many game as it is, we don't have time to do anything but eyeball them to see if they are ok looking. If they even remotely look fucked, we throw them in the shit bin and ship them off. If we tested all the shit you bring us we would not have time for anything else.

No kidding, I wonder if that one mall near me still has both a "EB Games" and a Gamestop in it... Which was even dumber when there was another Gamestop a few blocks away.

At least they closed that one, but for some stupid reason still kept the other two.

>>24384304

Any used store > Gamestop.

Support mom n pop shops if you can.

do you live in upper new jersey? cause that basically describes the video game situation here.

>>24384175
Actually, we don't really push the used all that much. Most our sales are people buying new, recently released games, not your old copy of gauntlet for ps2.

>>24384225

Common sense to ask to look at the disc & see yourself if it has scratches AT THE COUNTER BEFORE BUYING. The neckbeard at Gamestop isn't gonna waste his time checking it for scratches when you could just ask.

GameStop fails for having a single shelf of old GC games but mountains of PS2 and XBox games.

So you don't even get it in time for the holiday...

>>24384443

I have gotten discs that were in fucking MINT condition that didn't load.

DISCLAIMER: This only happens on 360 inb4 console war

>>24384347
Hell yeah, I do Allied Records in Toledo/Oregon Ohio that place kicks ass.

>>24384443
games are checked for scratches when they are brought in.

Software Etc and FuncoLand Merged = GS then they got Babbages... then EB. This all happened under 10 years which means many of the leases haven't run out, so now you have a bunch of stores who were once something else close together. As long as they all stay profitable, they will stay there even after the leases run out.

The stores around Washingtons PS aren't so bad. The ones in my area don't push so much about crap, though I do miss Funcoland for imports...
