A gamestop clerk was annoyed that you were buying used games?

 

You should notify his regional manager. He'll be out on his ass in a minute :P

QFT! Clearly that clerk doesn't understand his job.

This is first, an act of stupidity. The act of fanboyism comes second.



i hate to be an asshole, but you know that you wont make a difference.
its not like the developers going to go bankrupt with just not having your money.

oh btw, I actually am pleasantly surprised about how the employer reacted..without sucking up and working to get the transaction done, he flat out said what was on his mind...

+1 for him/gamestop

you know whats great about stores here is that not many of them are official ones, so the clerks tell you if the game sucks if you ask them that, and also release games before street dates

I guess I understand how some people would see it as "hypocrite", It's just that I can't deny that some really attractive games are 360 and/or PS3 exclusives and I want to play them, It's just that I don't mind waiting a little while for that game to be used and using the edge card to get that extra 10% off, and knowing that the decision they made to not bring that game to my favorite system led me to find a way that I can still enjoy the game but not give them my money.
Now don't get me wrong like someone mentioned here I don't want no one to go bankrupt It's not like I hate 360 or the PS3 It's just that I like my Nintendo sysems much better and since we were the underdog for so long I never felt guilty for this. It's just that being called 'HYPOCRITE" sort of bothered me but you know what my props to gamestop I like their used game policy and at least my local gamestop clerks are cool people.



Mmm, i am a huge Pikmin (a.k.a. Harcore Nintendo Fans)

But i do exactly the opposite as you do, cause i m also supporting Nintendo : S

Games are quite expensive, but i rather buy them new cause i know everyone will get a bit for their work

I only dont buy CLONY, M$ stuff ( i have been temped to do it), cause those companies were very mean with Nintendo in the past and i dont support that kind of war.



I buy games new when I feel like they really deserve my purchase. I buy used games when the game is old enough to where it really doesn't matter anymore. I don't have enough money to buy games that I don't feel like are worth my money >_>



Well, tough I dont agree, and I dont like to buy preowned games for any platform, first and foremost I buy new games for Sony platforms... my reasoning is pretty much the same, the only diference being, that I buy less games for other systems and not preowned ones



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Just to clear some things, I have never bought a used game for a Nintendo system as a matter of fact I always buy them on release date.
