I've been in there a few times and every time it just seems like the most backwards games shop in the world, good deals are few and far between, prices are a constant high, they get iffy about trade ins and the staff look really depressed. If it is the same in the USA I don't blame you for quitting. |
GAME FTW!
I think Gamespot is a horrible company too. I only sell games there, since they seem to give me more than my other option, 3D Games. But I only buy games with my credit at Gamestop because 3D Games sells their used games cheaper and I'd rather buy new games from them to give Gamestop more competition.
They rip you off if you try to sell them games. They offer something as low as 25% of the original price at times. Buying from them is very convenient though. There's nothing like buying a game for 10 dollars that works perfectly. I'd buy online but the damn shipping charges add up.
GS can go to hell. They terminated me in early 2008 and didn't tell me I was a seasonal only. I was going for a BFA in Game Design at the time two and helped take Hispanic orders *in Spanish*!
This thread reminds me of the Zero Originality series that was on Youtube & Gametrailers. Watch it when you can. It's about why working in Gamestop is hell.
If you don't like shopping at Gamestop, then why don't you shop at independent video game stores instead if there's some near you?

| d21lewis said: *takes deep breath* So, about a month ago, I came into some extra money and decided I wanted to buy a portable console. I go to the Gamestop in the Augusta Ga mall and look at the PSP games. I see a store clerk who I recognized has worked there for probably a decade. He HAS to know his stuff......right? Anyway, I never considered owning a PSP until that night, and I had no time to do any research. So I ask the clerk. I say I'm debating whether or not I should buy a DSi or a PSP. DSi, he says, and his eyes light up. "Well, how good is the DSi web browser?", I ask. "Oh! It's the best, there is!", He says. "Is it better than the PSP? I want to go online and watch Youtube, at least." "No. The PSP doesn't even go online. For Youtube and stuff, you gotta get a DSi! For my money, it's the best there is.", he tells me. "But......I already own FOUR DS's. And the PSP does go online. It's right here on the box! And I do have a PS3 at home. If the DSi online is as good as you say, I may have to go with it, though. I want to go on the internet at my new job. DVD players and laptops aren't allowed, but video games and iPods are!", I explain. "Well, if you wanna browse the net, you're going to have to get the DSi. The PSP lets you play online, but it sucks." And so, I call my PSP owning friend on my cell phone. He tells me about downloading movies from the net to the PSP. He tells me about the browser. He tells me about "remote play". He tells me that, without Remote Play, NEITHER portable can show online video. Pisses me off that the guy who has worked at Gamestop for a decade (I remember him from early in my relationship. He has a unique/strange face.) doesn't at least know the basics about 50% of the portable market. It makes me wonder if he was getting commission for selling DSi's or something. I bought a PSP from Wal-Mart. |
woooow. i will admit i am somewhat of a nintendo fanboy i guess. the ds and wii are my favorite video game systems this gen, and i generally pushed people in that direction when they asked about it, but i would never outright lie and say the psp doesnt go online.
basically i presented it to people as the ds is more of a fun little video game system and the psp is more of a multimedia device. but whatever. it seems like the dsi kind of filled in those gaps and is more of a multimedia device than before, which in my opinion, makes it the obvious choice.

He didn't speak English and I don't own GS. Otherwise I would have an English only sign out front
