GameStop Diaries:Gave 360 a chance.... Pt.1

[forevercloud3000]

Ok so I let a good friend talk me into checking out a game from gamestop.  The only problem is we cannot decide on a game that we both can enjoy. I own a PS3 and he a 360. I would have much rathered to get something for my console (seeing as I am the one with the hook up) but he insisted that I check out a game on 360 from Gamestop. I finally give in after hrs of hounding and allow him to get a game for 360 this ONE time. He goes and finds a game, luck would have it he would want me to borrow a new game. Now Gamestop allows employees to borrow new games but they must come back in PERFECT condition. So I check it out, all is well.

Me and the same friend come back the nxt day or so, returning the game to the store as he was not that enthused with it. I place it on the counter for my boss to check the game back in the store. While loligagging with my associates for a moment my boss calls me over. Apparently the new game that I had borrowed had come back with a few gashes. Not nearly enough to be in operable, yet enough that the game could no longer be classified as "New". This in turn meant that I had to PURCHASE this game FOR A SYSTEM THAT I DONT EVEN HAVE!

You see, I dont blame my friend, I am the one who let him talk me into it. I more so blame the suckbox...oops....I mean xbox 360. I was there the whole time with my friend while it was in his possesion. He did not miss treat it in any way. He stayed in his 360,flat on the ground, for the entire period till we returned it. And to top it off he had only played it I would say for a total of 6 hrs.

Just one more reason why I dont like MS's machine.....
