oh please. Lot of people troll on ps3 at n4g too and I'm sure there at least few members from here there as well, but without using the same name doing it. Doesn't mean it's right or even relevant to this thread. This is just like any other thread about a shop trying to force something down the throat of a customer, nothing more nothing less. Taking personal hits is not needed and derails the thread as it has already. What people do or say in other sites is not something we need to discuss in THIS site, what matters is what people do say here and stickign to the topic as much as possible. So no, before people point fingers or before people side with those who do so, they should think a bit more. Again taking personal shots is just wrong, two mods have been in this thread and yet not one of them have tried to stop the situation yet they add to it..this is just wrong conduct in my view.

@Bolded:  I disagree.  In the real world if a friend talks crap about you behind your back to another person and you find out about it, are you gonna let it slide because he said it to someone else?  No.  Your going to confront that person.  The internet is no different.  If you don't want to be labeled as a troll, then don't troll.  If more people are made accountable for what they say, maybe people will be more rational and think about what they type.

yeah let's compare RL to Internet now lol

and no if a friend talks crap and you find out you bring up to him/her face to face, 'personally' You don't get on a stage and bitch about it. If you apply the same here, then he would just post it on her profile or PM her about it and confront her, or at least bring it up in a thread/topic/post about trolling accusations to others. Again that was uncalled for imo. Just a random post that derailed the thread, flamed a user, from one of the least people who can point fingers at others.

Again a thread about (possible) unethical behavior in game shops, this is absolutely not needed. I do not approve of such things, what next. Go on a thread about how someone thinks Halo is good and point out he/she has been baised when it comes to xbox games in the past in this site and other sites? give me a break. ANywho that's my pov, I really don't want to help the derailing any longer. So please feel free to bring arguments on it to my profile and I'll be more than happy to respond to it.

Oddly enough most people in this thread commenting about what jnuel has said on other sites/threads have made similar comments on this site about other consoles.   Plus all those things do not take away the validity of her current comment anyway.  Since this is a standard procedure for these types of stores.


Pretty much...this is no different from the threads about gamestop. These personal attacks are just sad. and  the people pointing the finger too LOLOLOLOL ironic much

People here talk a lot of crap but nobody says things like jneul was saying on n4g without getting banned, that's the difference.  If she said those kind of things here she would be (rightly) banned in a heartbeat.

I never said people here or there don't troll the PS3...

It doesn't matter what site they're on and what console they're trolling, comments like those are ridiculous and the person making comments like those deserve to be banned regardless of which console they're talking about.

Sure but what does that have anything to do with this thread or this site? It's a personal attack, simple as that and it was uncalled for and such actions should get them banned as well.

I think it has plenty to do and I wouldn't call that a personal attack.  Simply quoting someone word for word isn't a personal attack, it's showing their posting history.  If they don't people to see what they think, don't post shit like that.

It also has everything to do with this thread as it shows that the OP really doesn't care about the Kinect and is trying to do some stealth trolling by implying that if Kinect sales are high, it's only because retailers want high numbers.  It's nothing I would ever ban or warn anything for, but it definately puts her motives right in the spotlight.

It's the same thing if another site if I said I hated all music games for whatever reason and then game here and then posted something implying a negative about Rock Band 3.  If people didn't know about my biased comments on another site, they might take my argument as logical and give me some credit which is obviously wrong.

-edit-

I will add I absolutely believe her that Game is pushing Kinect sales, it's just the quotes from her n4g account REALLY question her motive.

You do realize that they mean 300 pre-orders in just that one small store, right?  For reference, in the US each GameStop in my area had a goal of 300-400 pre-orders per store of CoD MW2 and Halo Reach.  Kinect is a hardware device costing nearly 3x the amount of a game and they want the same amount of preorders per store!  That shows an insane demand for a hardware peripheral!

Guess what I talked to one of the guys that worked there today and after he told me Kinect was great it's going to be a whole new experience and I should get it, I said I would not like to, I asked him later why he had asked me such a question and apparently they only have 150 pre-orders for Kinect and the upper management want at least 300 before November Kinect release comes along, I never remember being asked to buy move, so it must be a massive push for Kinect from none other than MS themselves



SO sales as usual, good you put a article about how sales work.  Thank you I did not know.

Oh I get i,t since this is kinect it deserves some sort of attention. All stores try to upsell what they now there going to make cash off of. give me a break.

Your comparing a friend saying something about you to someone saying something about an inanimate object, a piece of hardware?  Really??  If you are as attached to your console as you are to your friends, then you've got major issues.

And yet preorders are only ~140k.  So something doesn't quite calculate.
