yeah 99% of all gamestop employees where I live NY/NJ are all brain dead xbots, ironically 99% of guys who work at regular games stores (not gamestop/ebgames) are mostly pro ps3

Yeah at my Gamestop (granted I have not been there in after Move release)

Me: hey so you guys are taking pre orders for Kienct and Move already huh?

GS: Yes we are

Me: so how is it? Is the dmand good

GS: Yeah Move pre orders are piling up and a lot of people are asking about it. Can't say the same for Kinect tho.

But it should be noted I think he hates Kinect overall, so his response miight be biased

Gamestop knows there are so many fanboys who want to pitch their systems of choice that they pay minimum wage for a reason.  Downside is YMMV opinions depending on the Gamestop.

I can't stand Gamestops customer service.  When Halo Reach came out, I went in to pick up my preorder and the lady at the front of the line was mentioning that they we're thinking of buying the Halo Reach console bundle so that she could play Halo with her son, to which the employee flatly told her "buy a ps3 instead, you can watch bluray movies and games like Killzone and Resistance are just as good, if not better, than Halo Reach will ever be."  Needless to say, she wasn't sold on his fanboyism and simply walked off.

I can understand having opinions on which console is your console of choice, and which games you might view to be better than another, but when a person is clearly thinking about dropping $399.99 on a product in your store, do not let your fanboyism come inbetween you and a sale!  I am quite positive that anyone who is considering getting a console, let alone a premium version of one, has done enough research that they are more looking for someone to agree with the high dollar purchase, not tell them they are wrong and shouldn't make one.

I guess really, I just think that Gamestop is great if you know exactly what you want and do not want to talk to anyone their about games, otherwise it's pure crap. /rant

1000% THIS. why the fuck did he/she let his/her fanboyism destroy a chance to sell a $399.99 product!? WTF. if i was the manager of that place, i'd have fired him/her just as soon as i knew about this.

At my local Gamestop they are bashing the Move, and bless the Kinect.

I want to see a Kevin Butler spot where he throws a game advisor though glass who does that, while yelling out PEW PEW!  and I am pro-360 even.

Im glad the Gamestop in near 42nd in NY stays busy enough that employees dont have time to try to shove their fanboyism down your throat

I saw a gamestop employee actively disuading someone from buying a move, telling them to wait for kinect instead. They got the move since that what they wanted, but I was amazed at how unprofessional the employee was.

On what planet does professionalism come at minimum wage?  If Gamestop could, they would pay less than minimum wage, likely have fanboys volunteer for no pay.  I quit a Gamestop seasonal job to spend more hours doing Hickory Farms seasonal booth work.  They paid more and I got discounts on their food.  The work was more enjoyable.... this coming from someone huge into games



Ouch at some people making up fake convos, damn that's just sad ...

They may, but I am sure Gamestops are like this.
