Well when I put Killzone 2 on reserve I had a gamestop employee ask me "for which system?" so maybe you had a uninformed employee as well??

You should have said "GameBoy Advance" and watched him flounder around for a while.

It's currently listed in our system as 360/pc. The guy was probably just a clueless idiot that assumed it was multiplat.

When asked about reserving InFamous, this chick at my store responded with "ps3 or 360?" despite every other employee at the store having talked about the game rather often for the ~2 months prior.

Some people are just idiots.

Neither.

I tend to find GS employees mostly don't know ish about games. Just the uber popular ones.

GS doesn't have a focus on making their employees informed about gaming news. Just how to stock, key the register, etc.

Most likely a mistake. At some point, this rumour has to go the way of the MGS4/360 one. If we hear nothing by GDC people should just stop talking about it.

I was just at Gamestop putting money down on Metroid Prime Trilogy, and I asked if they were taking preorders for Mass Effect 2, he said that they were, so I told him to throw some money on there for me. He looks at his screen and says "For 360 or PS3?" WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!? Gamestop computer system confused confirmed or do they know something we don't?

The computers at Gamestop tend to make mistakes. They don't always make mistakes, but they do. Mass Effect 2 was confirmed at console exclusive for the 360.
