Yeah, I'm going to call bullshit on this story.

I absolutely believe the person telling it that the Gamestop person badgered them about the warranty, I don't believe the bit about them telling them all that wrong information (and this coming from someone who considered the average Gamestop employee dumber than a rock).

-edit-

Just to clarify, I totally don't put it past the typical Gamestop employee trying to push an unecessary warranty on the customer, I also assume the customer might be wrong in thinking it costs money to send the console to Microsoft, I expect the employee to tell them the console will probably break, I just don't believe the employee seriously telling them MS sends a code to all consoles a few months after purchase to break the console and only the Gamestop warranty can fix it.

This story reeks of someone just trying to villainize Gamestop or is just trying to make a story worse so gullable people will post it all over internet forums.  In either case, the person who told the story is likely a giant tool.

Yeah dude I agree, especially that part about "I used to work at gamestop- which is why I hate them". Hate them enough to write a BS story on the famously anonymous internets?
