Yeah, GameStop employees can be pretty awesome. Last time I had an issue was when an employee told me that Wii games have no replay value. I just nodded my head and bought the Wii game anyways.
And before that there was the guy who told me to buy a PSP because "it had better graphics", right after I asked him if I could purchase a DS.
Ah well, I heard that GameStop employees from Louisiana are pretty cool, so all is not lost.
