After the used game debacle I'm sure Gamestop is pro-Sony.

Really, this again?

The "used game debacle" would have made GameStop one of a select few exclusive venues for used games. That would have made them more Pro-Microsoft more than anything because it guarantees return business on that system.

But since that is not happening anymore, no point in bringing it up. I just wanted to clarify your flawed logic.


That doesn't make any sense. Micrsoft was pushing the digital era with the original Xbox One plan. They were trying their hardest to lean people off of retail and buy and share games through the "cloud". Also wIth the Xbox One used game sales would have taken a big hit since most people wouldn't want to pay the fees associated with it. Gamestop wanted things to stay exactly the same and that's what they got with the PS4. I'm sure they would pushed that console far more than the Xbone. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

have you had a bad experience working there?

Not personally, but I know enough folks who've worked there to realize that not a single one of them liked the experience.


Who would? All those sweaty, neckbeard nerds frantically storming the stores when the new Halo 7 or Uncharted: Wings of Atlantis or Super Mario Bros: Just take the bitch already, come out. Who wants to deal with those people?!

Damn Sony fans, right?

Reminds me of when Sony got sued for giving Clear Channel employees free gifts to play Sony BMG songs more on the radio.

True! Only one GS employee I talked to was getting the X1 as a secondary console for zumba fitness type games...
