i asked the gamestop where i preorder my dragon age and they said they were not doing a midnight realease, i hope the blight consume them.......................... after i get dragon age origins from them

[trope]

The best gamestop I know of is on Broadway and 8th street in NY, NY. The manager there is a big bioware fan... he's the one who turned me on to KOTOR when it came out... what's it like 4 or 5 years ago now. He's still there... it can be thankless job but he's great.

The gamestop I got to have gone form good to bad to worse to so-so to good depending on who is there. And has about a rack of PC games which is irritating but not unexspected.

I know three people who work at my local gamestop they all went to my highschool so that pretty cool

[BluesMan1956]

I have always found the kids at Gamestops both knowledgable(sp) and helpful. And I have been to quite a few in the area. Now, RADIO SHACK is a whole 'nother story....

Ya I don't particularly like Gamestop either, I've actually had better experiences as far as employees go with Gamecrazy, but they aren't doing too well financially anymore, but ya most Gamestop employee's have surprisingly little actual knowledge about games outside of Halo or Call of Duty, which is sad.

i hope Best buy has a midnight release for me :/ lol

[Hammyofdoom]

I remember there were alienware computers advertised in a local newspaper at bestbuy for like 800 bucks. It was around the holidays, so both my mother and I thought it was a special deal. We go there, and they had put the alienware stats and picture next an HP price tag. i was miffed and was talking to one of the guys working there about it, and he said in the most condesending tone I've ever heard

"Well sir, this is what we like to call an ALIENWARE..."

that was my worst expirance in a electronics store ever. I just replied "I know, I have one at home" and walked off on him, lest I beat his brain in

no mines in Fl.

It makes me sad that GameStop keeps rejecting my applications due to lack of retail experience (really, year and a half not good enough? )... when my knowledge of gaming is pretty robust. If nothing else, I wouldn't make the kinds of stupid mistakes I've read about here.

Read what I wrote in the end of page one of this thread? I wrote that my local gamestop no longer allows Pre-orders of Ce's, because they do not know how many copies they get until they get them. They just settle it the old school "first come-first serve"  style.
You're just ignorant.

 

So, you knew that there was no way the guy could tell you, but you asked him anyway? I assume just so you could have another 'lol gamespot employee sucks' comment to add.
 

Actually, I only wanted to know the price.

Yep, kids lol. I remember walking into a Gamestop (it was Babbage's back then) and ALL they had were PC games with a small section of N64 and PS1.

HEY ! I remember Babbages ! 

Doh ! I'm old.

Uhm .. if you have a relative working at Gamestop ... and he gives you the game before it's officially released...... (can he physically do that?) what kinda trouble does he get in?

So, after leaving out information, you resort to calling other forum members ignorant.

You're just a barrel of laughs, huh?

Hell, I can remember walking into an EB less than 4 years ago and this being the case. Anyone who says PC gaming isn't dying obviously hasn't bought their games in hardcopy for a good half decade.

Piddly little 2-sided rack, Pff.

I don't think any PC fan would disagree that PC gaming retail is certainly shrinking. The internet and DD has changed the way PC games get their games. Its unfortunate imo, but that doesn't mean the PC is dying. There used to also be stores that carried nothing but PC software, games only a part of that. Remember Egghead? lol I think stores such as Best Buy and the Internet have put an end to that, Best Buy does still carry a big PC section.

the store can get fined/he will get fired, or something else depending on the game.
if stores in Australia sold DJ Hero before the release date they wouldn't give the whole store franchise Modern Warfare 2.

As a rule, I don't buy anything from Gamestop. Both for Philosophical reasons and also because I've received absolutely horribile service from them in the past.

[Veyt]

Wow...you're just buying a game, it's not as if it's a five star restaurant where you expect to get great service. :/

[TuringPoint]

I remember trying to return a game that didn't work, and they wouldn't take it back. That's a fairly ridiculous policy, I had paid 50 bucks for it.

So the manager comes out and acts really intimidating and snotty to me, after I push the issue a little, as if I were a criminal for wanting to return a product that didn't work. That's gamestop for you; Selfish bastards first!

Yeah, so it's just a gamestore.  I know that of the gaming geeks out there, there are plenty who are better people than that; why do the people who work retail in gamestores and technology stores always act like jerks?

Because most of the customers are jerks to people in retail game stores. Speaking from experience, you have no idea how condescending and holier-than-thou people can be when they come in and either think that they are god's gift to gaming, or gaming is below them and they are just there for their 5 year old.

I don't care if you're in MLG!

I don't care that you think gaming is a waste of time. On a related manner, do you realize you just insulted me?

I asked specifically for the CE but it doesn't say so on my receipt. I'm hoping that they ordered that version for me.

[Avoozl]

Ditto.
