"Dear Mister Gamestop employee"

I'm a 25 year old guy who would like to buy a new HD system.. I already have a Nintendo Wii.
I would like to play the best FPS, Jrpg's and the best racegames.. and I want the best games now.. I don't want a machine where I have to wait 2 years for the games to come out.. I don't really care about movies and multimedia capabilities because I still have a huge DVD collection (over 300 titles) I want to buy a Gameconsole..

Which console would you recommend??



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

Because it's not worth the price and there is only one game that interests me...



Former something....

I never buy a videogame because of one game.

 

ITS SAD THAT THIS IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMMENTED WITH A VALID ARGUMENT IN LIKE THE LAST 300 POSTS!!!!!!

He simply doesnt like the PS3's line up and favors 360 more, VALID! This guy actually has a brain unlike sum of u!

@Hawk

Here is victim number 2 of the retard club.

Ok, ppl on this board have seemingly run out of any real argumentative material and resort to pointing out grammatical and spelling errors in my posts. If that is the way u wish to play it so be it but I'm just going to shoot u down from ur high hopes yet again...

So what, I use AOL lingo online, but then again, its not really AOL language, its interweb lingo in general. Unless I am not aware of some kind of global phenomenon THIS IS THE INTERWEB!!! So I use corresponding language . You apparently know what "U" and "PPL" mean so what is the real issue? It is the same as when we abbreviate Game names on forums. GOW(God of War),MS(Microsoft),OP(original Poster) are all interweb speak that you wouldn't normally use in real life of course but this is not exactly "Real Life" now is it? And I never pretended to know more than everyone else, but I do apparently know more than you bucuz sum of u repeatedly come at me with nuances that are completely off topic.

Secondly you insult my job, like i really care. It is just something I do on the side to make a little money (and for the discount). Im in school for game design so having access to millions of games doesnt hurt. It is not the best of jobs in the world but it does give me little insight on the gaming world that folk such as urself do not have access too. You wouldnt walk up to Bill Gates and pretend to kno more about Windows and PCs than him simply becuz u have one.

 

Yes, obviously we're pointing out the spelling and grammatical errors in your posts because we want to ignore the magnificent, unique, and inspired content therein. Of course it's not because that content simply doesn't exist. Nope. Not at all. You are the argument master, Good Sir, and I bow down to your obvious prowess over me.

Also, that is the most terrible analogy I've ever heard. Bill Gates designed Windows and practically invented modern computing. You swindle people into purchasing preorders and stock shelves. Mr. Gates is a genius who rode his knowledge of OS design to a multi-billion-dollar career. You study "game design," whatever that is, meaning that you've never even made a single game, let alone a commercially successful or even well-known one. You are not Bill Gates. You're some kid who thinks he's so much more bloody intelligent than the rest of us because he holds a menial retail job and is studying for a fake degree.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Let me make something very clear here. Whenever you try to tout yourself as maintaining some sort of superiority to others, logical intelligent people will be quick to point out your flaws. My comments are not an attack on you personally, but an attack on the way you are presenting yourself and your side of the argument.

Secondly, making a statement, having it refuted and then claiming things WITHING YOUR ACTUAL POST were never said as fodder for an attack on someone's intelligence is not the way to get your point across.

Thirdly, you can't complain about a lack of valid arguments when you refuse to address all the valid ones presented to you, so please stop whining.

Finally, STOP SAYING INTERWEBS! It is not a word, but a made up term used commonly as a satirical device when presenting the less than technically knowledgeable.

Wait... it could also that the lineup for the 360 is different?? Some people prefer the xbox360 line-up??? So they don't buy a PS3???

I thought it was about the $$$$$$

what my OP is basically saying is it is all becuz of price. No matter how u spin it. It is basically becuz of how costly the PS3 is, or at least how it SEEMS, compared to the 360 that ppl choose one over the other. Not to offend anyone, but consumers are STUPID(at least the average one is). If u dangle a small price tag in front of them they are like a cat with a ball of yarn. Yet they always look over the all inclusive deals. I see quite a few ignorant ppl ( in the litteral sense) walk in my store with no clue what the PS3 has to offer for such a hefty price and just feel "They are just tryin to TAKE MY MONAY!"

 

And the reason I used the bottom one cuz its the cheapest. Yet even if I did use the Pro SKU it still comes out to more than the PS3 standards as u probably already know. Only further proves my point

I would sell u the 360 system obviously. But what u just did was complete DESCRIBED the 360 to me. Most customers dont position themselves like that. There is usually one thing that is most important to them and that one thing will trump all else.

Mostly it is price and best deal offered

Sometimes it is capability

Sometimes it is Future  Potential

Now if they say FPS is what they like, I mention all but tell them that is 360's strong point. If they ask for JRPGs I can only give them my personal opinion and tell them that from all my experience with RPGs the ones on the 360 pale in comparison to the ones on PS2 so I sway them that way. Racing games also goes to PS systems becuz GT sells more than the lot combined. No other racing game have I heard to sell like 10mill copies. If they want short bursts of fun and something more interactive I recomend the Wii as it is seen as the ultimate party piece.

Again, posts go ignored, points go unnoticed.

Might I add that working in the Retail Space hardly qualifies you as gleaming some great insight in to the game industry, just like someone who stocks shelves at Shop right has no great knowledge about advertising, farming, or product distribution.

The vast majority of the people in this forum have much greater experience and insight in the industry (myself included,) so your "Access to millions of games" impresses no one.

Ok, Its me Again, Bringing my knowledge from your neigborhood game stop :D! I just like to get some of my experiences from my job off my chest. I tend to get into alot of "Gaming" arguments with friends and patrons as they love to challenge my Gaming Intellect(SP?). Ok So I'm sitting in my store and a friend comes in to harrass me as usual while Im tending to a customer. Here is what went down...

Customer: Which of the two are better? PS3 or 360?

Friend: Dont bet a PS3!!! IT SUCX BIG TIME!

ME: Why is that?

Friend: It has no games!

Me: it has fewer games.

Friend: 360 has Halo, Cod4, Bioshock,Madden,Blue Dragon, Bad Company, UT3, etc...

Me: Ok...Mediocre,MultiPlat,MultiPlat,MultiPlat,Mediocre,MultiPlat,MultiPlat,etc...

Me:And PS3 has MGS4, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword, when It comes to exclusives PS3 is unmatched really.

Friend:PS3 Costs MORE!

Me:Sigh! Ok,PS3 is $400-500, right? and the bottom 360 is 270.

for a bottom teir 360 for 300 u dont get a harddrive which means...

120 for a 20GB hardrive

Seeing as the PS3 has BluRay, to match that u need HDDVD....

another 200 bucks, but i dont advise seeing as HDDVD has already LOST!

and dont forget ur controllers use batteries....

So expect to shell out 5 bucks every so often or buy the Play and Charge kit for 30 bones

Lastly in order to play online it costs 50 bucks a yr, meaning if u had it for at LEAST 2 yrs it comes to 100 bucks. and another 100 for a wifi adapter if so need it.

Total for a 360 bundle that rivals the PS3's package, roughly in the 800 range.

Friend: So?

Me: The Fact that the PS3 comes with a built in Wifi, rechargable controllers, Blu Ray player to make it future proof, and free online gaming all for a substatially lower price point than what Microsoft in actuallity is charging? Priceless!

Friend:.........

Customer:Um....Can I get a PS3 then?

 

 

 

 Sorry....who are you?

Exactly what I thought as soon as I started to read the OP lol.
