That sounds too good to be true

money well spent

lol what a deal

if a pc gamer cant do that himself , he should be a consolefag

THAT IS THE BEST DEAL EVER!!!

WE MUST ALL PARTAKE OF THESE SERVICES

>>54791520

Will they wipe my ass too?

good thing this service exists. Computers are hard.

Yes, we all know they take advantage of the technologically retarded. Move along now...

>>54791579
Fuck that!

We need to make a competing business !

I want a refund.

How can someone ring this up at the register with a straight face?

>and install your game

I got it done last week. They do a quality job

Fuck it, I'm starting a computer repair business now.

>>54791616
I KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT!

/v/squad!

>>54791520
Maybe while they're at it they can show me how to click icons too.

>We Do Something That Would Take You Maybe 20 Or 30 Minutes For The Money You Earned In 8 Hours At Your Crappy Job

Is this a surprise? This is where moms are lured in when they buy a $1000 computer for their kid to play WoW on.

Bestbuy offers this to everyone.

If I offered that service for 1/tenth of the price, I'd still feel like I ripped the poor guy off.

They installed my DS yesterday it was pretty cool seeing a professional at work

>>54791667
HAHA

OH WOW

I hope they beat the game for me too!

Sounds about right. Software to automatically install drivers costs a lot you know.

Now, you can also be a gamer! - $49.99

>>54791667
>ONLY $129
>instruction booklet tells you how for free
Do people seriously pay for this?

>>54791667
holy shit
129 dollars to set up, your fucking PS3
thats a joke, surely

>>54791667
>>129

What the fuck?

>>54791676

I can just see it play out

>Oh see I am an old lady and I Was wondering if you would be able to set up this Wii and T.V I just bought for my so...

>WII? WAGGLE CASUAL SHIT. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU COME UP TO ME WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT. PLASMA T.V? FUCK YOUR SHIT GRANNY! GET THE FUCK OUT

Holy shit I can make even more money off these dumb faggots? AHAHAHAHA

do they make crysis run at high with my celeron?

>>54791667
....no words

>>54791667
Hmmm geeksquad at home, I'm sure it's the fantasy of many a nerd girl!

>>54791786
They better include that HDMI cable, or else!

>>54791667
OKAY WHAT THE FUCK OP'S PIC WASN'T BAD BUT THIS IS HORSESHIT

>>54791667
what the shit
I think the console walks you through the whole process when you start it up for the first time

What the hell?
I should get a job at Best Buy, I'd be doing jack shit for a decent pay if people really do play out to be this fucking stupid.

>>54791520
>>54791667
Funny about this, because some people are actually STUPID enough to pay for it.

Dumb Americans.

>>54791804
Oh god i can't stop laughing, it's so damn true.

>>54791804

This.

I would actually pay money to just watch /v/ interact with the customers.

>>54791925
>Implying yokels in your countries even know that computers exist.

>>54791965
>>54791958
>>54791804

And then /v/ was legorobot

ITT poorfags that cant afford this quality service and complain

>>54791667
ONE WHOLE ONLINE ACCOUNT??

BRB BEST BUY

>>54791647

Just remember it won't always be like this.

The next generation will know how to do all this stuff.

Word of advice for those thinking this field is easy money... yes it is FOR NOW...

But please don't base your careers on this like so many people I know.

I make a shit ton of money doing this stuff for people at a fraction of the price but I know I'm not going to be able to make money off of it in 15-20 years. That's why I'm in college.

Also to build a decent customer base you need to network your ass off and get people referring you all over the place.

Also if you fuck people's stuff up you HAVE to pay for it. You're liable for fucking it up. So don't try to do anything you're not sure about.

If I'm not confident doing something I just buy a new part and install it instead of fucking around with soldering and getting myself electrocuted.

Got a strange whirring noise in your computer? It might not be very loud, but it sure is annoying!
This annoying sound is caused by the Fan device in your computer. Yes, I know what you're thinking... Why on Earth does my computer have a fan inside?
Well, take it out!

But, unfortunately, the only way you can fix this problem is a complicated and backbreaking procedure of removing the device from inside the computer.

But don't worry! We've got you covered! For only $129.95 we'll remove it for you!

Finally, that whirring will stop, and you can get your important computer work done in PEACE.

>>54791925

Yeah because technologically retarded and gullible people dont exist in other parts of the world.

Fucking god dammit, there is no middle ground to you people, you're either total bros or fucking rock hard arrogant.

This is the kind of thing dumb consolefags do all the time

>>54791520

Dont think that making money off stupid people with more money then intelligence is a new concept (or even a bad one, actually its bad for online players in this case).

Shit Apples empire is fucking built on stupid peoples money...

>>54792088
Don't forget, you'll also be nice and toasty.

>>54792101
Huh, so it IS easy to troll /v/

That's awesome.

129 US DOLLARS

>>54792112

>this is what arrogant basement dwelling PC master race people actually believe

>>54791922
>decent pay

dohohoho

>>54792143
You know the same concept just changes its name over time. Way back when you went to the Shaman to cure your ailments

Then you went to the tonic salesman to cure your kid's dropsy

Now you go to best buy to install drivers that automatically install anyway.

>>54792143
>hurr if you don't build your own pc ur stupid XD
>if u have any opinion but mine ur stupid XD

>>54792215
THAT IS CLEARLY NOT A REACTION IMAGE BUT WHEN I CLICK IT, IT TURNS INTO ONE FUCK YOU GODDAMN NIGGERCUNT

I don't see why you guys are getting so upset over this, just Best Buy making easy cash on some suckers who actually need this sort of shit because they don't know how computers work.

>>54791922

You get paid minimum wage or similar for Geek Squad... I'd only do it to get some work experience.

a coop or an internship is vastly better if you can line one up though.

Start your own business and take the time to go to conferences and other networking opportunities.

Also whore yourself out to your friends/family and give them a discount, they'll tell their friends and businesses they know and you can charge those guys full price.

You now realize that you could offer those same services for half the price, and you'd STILL make a lot of cash.

>Casual fags
but really, there are lazy/stupid people who don't read instruction manuals. I had a job with an electronics company that made loads of money every month setting up HDTVs in peoples houses. Seriously all they did was mount i to the wall and plug in the HDMI.

>>54792314

>>54792349
>mount it to the wall
Some people aren't comfortable using tools.

>>54792065
Hopefully as people get better with technology in the future there will still be things like this that the plebs don't understand and that I can profit off.

>>54792215
How do you do this?

>>54792215

It's funny because everyone that works in tech support is basically relying on people being too stupid to do anything properly.

>>54792215
ARE YOU A WIZARD?

>>54791520
Console fags who try to be a part of the master race need help in the beginning.

Sometimes when two images are posted in different threads at the same time this happens, just a "bug", nothing to see here.

Dumb people deserve to be exploited. Its a business tactic that works quite well and i would do it too if i had the chance.

>soldering and getting electrocuted

wtf is this shit, are you soldering with part with the damn thing plugged in? dumbass

>>54792505

Well yeah basically. But isn't that like any other business?

Engineers invent things because people are too stupid to invent them themselves by your logic.

Financial analysts report data to companies because the existing employees are too stupid to get that data.

Often times people don't have the time to repair bullshit so its easier and more economic to have some guy do it for them.

That's kinda how specialized positions work.. you know something other people don't know... so you're useful.

On the other end, yeah some IT people are just dinguses preying on retards, but there's that in a lot of professions.

>>54792571
>Pic unrelated

Are you sure about that?

>>54792215
hey guise wassup?

>>54792847
Brb, experiencing untold terror

>>54792737

I was referring to two separate things, el trollio.

Its usually cheaper to buy a new PSU for $30 for my customer than get my soldering kit out, take apart the PSU and fix it.

Also I've been slightly zapped while working on a PSU despite specifically discharging it.

That was rather...scary.

Anyway, bravo trolling me enough to get this response out of me.

>>54791578
No, no

They should just stay away from the vida

Tripfriend complaining about being trolled.

>>54792847
'Sup

My dad still get's a computer repair shop to apply the thermal paste to his comps CPU, I explained to him how simple it is and even offered to do it for him but he still pays the store a ridiculous amount to do it for him.

>>54793005
That's just a flat out scam. Nothing has to be installed.

>>54793091

Oh I'm not complaining at all, I love trolls.

They're rather entertaining.

I forgot I had this tripcode on, was for a specific thread.

Oh well I like it anyway.

$50? holy shit I would charge less

When my mom bought my sister her laptop, they offered to update the drivers and windows 7, as well as install and update the anti-virus for $200.

My mom was about to say yes but I stepped in and said that shit can be done in like 10mins for free at home.

My face as I looked at the employee.

>>54793186
Holy shit man, if we started a business doing that kind of shit for half that price, we'd be rolling in money.

>>54793230
oh you.jpg

>>54793230
But how will you do it if you're blind?

>>54791520

I'd do this because I'm too lazy to do it myself.

>>54793230
But you didnt do that, instead you and your mom were far away from the employee and you had read what they were offering from a sign. You said to your mom you can do it for free, and she said no to an employee who offered it.

You aint shit.

>>54793181
They charge you the 28.99 to put an original xbox game into the console and receive the latest update for backwards compatibility

>>54792945

You're an idiot for taking a soldering iron to a component that can hold 240v over a period of months.

>>54793320
I could feel him tremble in rage so I knew grinning was the right action.

>>54793230

"install and update"

what the fuck lol?

YES WE'RE GOING TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSIONS OF YOUR DRIVERS AND ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE AND THEN UPDATE THEM.

I give them kudos for making it sound like more than 20 minutes of labor.

>>54793005
This is why Circuit City went out of business.

They were only charging 30 bucks, and not 130.

I've never seen anything like this in german shops, but there are "computer specialists" in the newspaper ads. You can order them for shitloads of money and they don't know nothing. A friend of mine used to call that guy every few months when he had problems I could have solved in, like, ten minutes.
"NO NO YOU ARE NOT A COMPUTER SPECIALIST"
Stupido.

>>54793230
>My mom was about to say yes

Fucking casual moms

The place I used to work would charge $75 dollars to install ram (not including the price of the ram) and $125 dollars to install and run antivirus software and get it scheduled (not including the price of the software). People will pay anything for computer help because they know nothing. Whenever I help people I charge 20 dollars per hour rounded up plus the cost of materials and it's usually way cheaper than any estimate they can find anywhere else.

>>54793427

Yes, of course I directly soldered things to my PSU.

Have you ever worked on a PSU?

When something breaks you cut the wire and solder the wire to the new part onto it.

Not to mention you can easily ground a PSU if you're not a retard.

DEM TROLLS MAN
