yeah, I was trying to bait him into explain his stuff, I knew he has no clue what he's talking about. lol

I love the "Microsoft created Samus", I probably hit the person too. ;)

@Sensei: Do you mean UT3 is not out on 360 yet or not coming out at all? If you mean at all then http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/746/746631.html it's coming out and GameStop has those boxes out so people will preorder the game, if he thought it was out already he probably got PS3 and 360 confused.

On topic: My store is so-so our manager is really dumb about games, I specialize in Wii along with action, puzzle, strategy, adventure, and fighting games, the assistant manager knows a lot about PS3, RPGs, action, adventure, and just about any nitch title you can think of, and 3rd in line knows a lot about 360, sports, FPS, fighting, and just about anything you can have a competition with, the rest of them only know a little and are the ones that work there for a little while and eventually quit.

I once had an argument about Metroid Prime with a Gamestop employee. He insisted that Metroid Prime was going to appear on Xbox and that Microsoft made Samus. I almost hit him seriously...

That me remind me of a Metroid Prime 3 story. I had pre-ordered the game, and called the day after it shipped, to see if they had got it in, and if they didn't, when they expected it. He's like "Metroid Prime 3....what's that coming out on, the xbox?" I just hung up. I didn't have the energy to argue. Turns out it came later that day, and the guy working there, at that time, knew exactly what I was talking about.

pretty knowledgable. the only thing ive ever heard somebody say that i wanted to hit them was a gamestop employee told me that the ps3 could not output HD because Sony was "stupid" and put the wrong cables in the box. I told him i was running my ps3 via HDMI, he had no clue what HDMI was, and I said its a High Definition cable, he asked me if it came in my ps3 box, i told him no, and he told me that i just voided my warrenty then and he had no clue what i was doing using different cables that didn't come in the box.



kingofwale on 13 February 2008

not knowing HDMI is pretty dumb, enough my mom (who knows nothing about anything) surprised me the other day when she told me she knew what cable I use for my PS3.

Their ok.... Most of them seem to be pro Sony and MS. They do nothing but bash the wii. It also seems no matter what their age is, they all still live with their parents.

@Soriku

or.. they are all fanboys/girls but choose to remain professional?

I can't think of anybody not being biased in any way. Trust me, TV guys are biased toward Sony and Sumsung and Cellphone guys are toward Nokia. lol

 wow, way to lose your credibility in 1 post.

 do you actually expect us to believe you went and asked their living arrangement?

On the whole they're alright, but I overheard an employee at my local Best Buy telling his customer that the 40gb ps3 only plays Blu-Ray, and not DVD. :|

The customer still bought one, too!



chriscox1121 on 13 February 2008

Why so serious..... Just an assumption... Notice the text that i typed "seemed". But, now that you mentioned it...I talk to quite a few of them, which are really nice guys. And yes, they have mentioned it in their conversation at some point, about their "living arrangements" as you call it.
