I made a thread predicting this might happen. It seemed that everyone disagreed with me. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=162227&page=1#14

GameStop stands to make a higher profit if there are more ps4s on the market than x1s

Now people care about Gamestop? I'm going to pre-order mine from there and get the 12month live card with it. Lol

I wonder what BenV will say since he works at Gamestop o.o.

Today he mentioned that everything has so far had a big time impact on the XBone. He also stated on his wall that he thinks PS4 might beat out XBone in the US this holiday.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

I'm brought more people in today to pre-order Xbox one. The guy was a total dick. So I decided to bring in all my friends and push them to pre-order from the same dude. I left my pre-order their as well, Along with my 2 at BestBuy. If the condition is right I will pick up the 3rd one for ebay. Always a rich guy slacking on pre-ordering his kid a gift.

So far two multiple GAF peeps have reported that their local gamestops are playing and focusing on PS4 no DRM stuff on their inner store TVs as well as handing out pamplets on Xbox One DRM policies.

Guess mass game consumer will find out. ;)

Good, the more people steered away from MS's anti-consumer policies, the better for gamers.

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.


I agree about stores, Gamestop rubs me the wrong way.  I like how BestBuy works for the customer and makes it easy with options rather than trying to get me to sign up for stuff or reserve stuff all the time.  Gamestop just sees a consumer, and why I don't go there to buy games anymore.

Also, classic slap sig.

I want to hear BenV's input on this.


There is no bias from corporate for either console......at least currently.

There was no instruction from corporate for employees to hand out pamphlets.

Gamestop TV does however highlight the........differences.......both consoles have 

Gamestop of course supports both PS4 and X1.

Of course you would say this.

Hey! where you the one trying to push me over? Be honest. J/k

However it did push me to bring my sister and more friends in. At it stands we are at 12 people with a pre-order. I got my cousing going up and all my friends are pushing others to go. See the employee pissed us off and now we like to look at him when we come in with more people. Have a laugh.

They better make sure everything in the pamphlet is true. Over wise mscould sue for false advertising

Well the Gamestop/EBgames employees in all the locations in my city are all 360 fans. I actually just came back from one and overheard them talking about how stupid Sony is. So there's still some employees not pushing consumers towards the PS4. If these stores goes pro Sony then I hope the employees here will actually know something about Sony's games and products. They seem to know nothing about games that isn't MS related which really sucks when I'm looking for help sometimes.
