Forums - Microsoft - Gamestop apparently doing all it can to push customers away from Xbox One.

Haha, I'm heading to gs tommarrow to pick up the last of us. I wonder if I can get one of those phamplets if they exist. xD

Wish I had a Gamestop in this damn country :P

Its all under a guise of informing the customer so when they sell consoles they don't have issues. Of course, how its presented by the local employees is what makes the difference. From all accounts its very negative towards MS.

I'm not surprised about that part. Obviously, most people who work at Gamestop are gamers, and the Xbone is none too popular in gaming circles right now. I'd just not expect corporate to do anything too blatant.

i doubt this i corporate, just local employees having their way with the place. ...people can downplay the "core" all they want but we are the early adopters and we are the loudest voice.



This is very true they tried to push both me and my friends to PS4. I had to tell them three times no. They are always pushy at gamestop. That's why I ended up going to Best Buy to change my pre-order. Plus they said only one per household where BestBuy said I can order as many as I want. Plus BestBuy was a 25 pre-order and Gamestop was a $100 pre-order. What a mess. Let the consumer choose.



Wait just noticed, if they are handing out phamplets, doesn't it mean it was approved by corporate? I might be completely wrong though.

According to peeps its been the same from multiple locations on different continents.

Not necessarily. You can make some yourself if you're convinced that the X1 is purely bad.

However, that Gamestop UK FB post is telling. Unless photoshop, of course.
