Well that sucks. I guess there really isn't anything left to say in Gamestop's defence. Amazon is a great choice to shop from since they have those daily deals and free shipping on videogames! (from what I've seen at least)

Gamestop doesn't treat you nice, they treat you like a mark.

If you treat them like garbage, then the relationship is excellent. They respect you more. They can't exactly spit in your game, now can they.

Here is why I do, and I'm dead serious:



Them: You want this gamestop card, it'll save you...

Me: Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, no dice bro.

Them: /Smile /embarassed.


Them: Preorder Fable 2.

Me: lol, what are you trying to do man?

Them: /anger


Me: Give me The World Ends With You.

Them: /Gives me an open box with game from slip case

Me: No, I want a new copy.

Them: This is a new copy.

Me: No smart guy. I want an unopened copy. It hasn't been new since you opened it.

Them: Take a hike buddy.

Me: Walmart has better service than this dump. Was gonna buy RockBand, but nah.

Me upon getting home: Call the guy in to the gamestop home office.



You see, this way I always win, and gamestop employees get what they give to kids in return. I've never met one who knew half of the stuff they should be required to know about videogames anyway. They always resort to their little release list. Too bad they don't know what I'm talking about when I say Persona 3. I gotta tell them, Shin Megama Tensai Persona 3 FES.

Nothing against gamestop employees. Just the ones around where I live are godaweful at their jobs, and are also a pack of a-holes trying to hock you stuff to get your money.

Sorry to hear what happened to you, hopefully you'll get your game soon. I've learned not to shop at GameStop, or EB Games anymore. They want to much for a lot of games,or you buy the game, it's scratched up and doesn't work and they don't wanna take it back.....I've had a lot of problems with them so I won't shop there anymore. Now I buy my games from Amazon.com, GameCrazy, or this game store that just moved into my town called Game Traders Club.

People at Gamestop do not make much money. To most of them, their job is not one of the most important things in their life. Don't expect much from them. It's best if you know what you want.

I enjoy shopping for games at Gamestop, Bestbuy, Toys R Us, Hastings...from time to time. Amazon.com is my favorite place to buy games because I don't have to pay sales tax and part of the money goes to support a program I like (for example VGChartz). Please buy your games from the Amazon via the VGChartz store :)

I've stopped shopping at Gamestop. I just don't like them.

Why not try the VG Chartz Store?

That sucks crumas, the only thing gamestop is good for is their used games.

whether they tried to call you and if they have always had that policy is irrelevent. If they are gonna have a blanket policy against all preorders they should display it in writing in the shop and give it to you in writing on the receipt or something.

They more than likely hide this point away thus only telling people verbally so it doesn't act as a deterrent when getting the business from you and leaving them to hide behind these pathetic "we did try to call you" lines. Bad customer service IMO as they have annoyed the shopper who trusted Gamestop when planning in advance and may have been more loyal in the future than a random person walking in and buying it off the cuff.

In terms of annoying and losing your potential loyal customerbase for instinvtive fad shoppers - Gamestop just pulled a Ubisoft.

Did you pay for it, or did you just put down a deposit? That must have been totally annoying since those MGS LEs are genuine collectables on the secondary market.

Now *that* is an excellent idea.
