I'm still really mad about this.
I went to game stop to preorder Windwaker to get that sick ass ganon figure. I mentioned it to the guy when I was pre ordering it
>"Yeah it comes with that ganon figure which is pretty cool."
Just making light conversation, but when I go to pick it up he fucking preordered me the Link figma thing. I asked about the ganon thing and he said they didn't have any available.
I just took the figma and left, honestly I'm still pissed about it.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

this was when they were selling their PS2 games away for with a buy 3 for 10€ deal, and they still had good stuff left.

Jewish resellers hoarding the good stuff, normalfags dumping off their sports games, they're all cancer.

kill yourself

Who is this splooch mooch?

Are you memeing or being serious?
I don't think I've ever been suggested a game when I go to gamestop

>go to any gamestop
>ask for any game
>do you want used or new?
>new
>gives me a look like "that's not what you're supposed to say"
fucking pencil dicked nerds.

Why? =(

im being 100% real they do it sporadically.

>"no"

>Recently bought R&C: All 4 One about two weeks ago.
>First week I was stuck with it, not being able to play it.
>Reason? The guy gave me a defective copy

Granted I returned it and got a working copy at the same store but.......FUCKING GAMESTOP

Sure, I can repost the pasta I wrote out a while ago

>walk into EB Games
>wait through lineup and tell clerk I'm there for my FE Fates SE preorder
>he pokes at the computer to confirm my order

>I can see in the drawer, they have 3 copies with pieces of paper horribly stuck on with those round seal sticker things
>he finds my copy
>while standing up, for some reason he throws it spinning directly up
>he seems to lose his balance slightly from the effort of standing...
>he fails to catch my FE Fates SE, it kinda knocks off his hand and flys like 12 feet away
>I stare at him as he walks over picks it up and brings it back to me
>one of the corners is plainly dented in
>I tell him I don't want that copy anymore because he's damaged it
>he says he can't switch it because that piece of paper has my name written on it
>I insist
>he gives in and grabs me a different copy
>after ringing me up I notice him pull my name off my ex-copy
>he's careless about it, as the circular sticker passes a seam it starts tearing the box off, and rips an inch by inch & half chunk of the box art off
>the piece of paper on mine had the name written on with ballpoint pen, which forever indented itself onto my box
>Alexander Chan, I'm sorry your copy got totally fucked up when I tried to pick it up

Well if course nobody wants used copies. I'd rather rot in a garbage dump than get a game in one of those shitty gamestop cases covered in price stickers front and back.

God, I hate seeing those things.

You can probably buy it on eBay at this point

...

>mfw i found tales of vesperia at an EB Games
>only place I could fucking find it for 360

>Leaving the house without your wallet

Life must be so different when your mother drives you everywhere.

Have you done the survey they always shill? One of the question lines is "did they suggest a game and did you buy it". If they don't suggest shit it hurts their survey scores.

Last week I walked into gamestop because my gf was thinking about getting a 3DS.

Im just checking out the toys and figures while she looks at the 3DSs when I over hear a guy complaining.

The gamestop wants to pay 1 cent per N64 game he has and 5 dollars for the N64.

The guy is fed up and leaves, and I chase after him and offer him 20 bucks saying its all I have on me. He says "fuck it" and hands me his bag.

It had 4 controllers, every mario party for the N64, 4 copies of Jet force Gemini, conkers bad fur day, pokemon stadium 1 and 2, rampage 1 and 2, and LOZ OoT and MM gold cart.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

Use the website to find used copies of obscure games. I got a Strange Journey cart a couple years ago for $12 at a slightly out of the way Gamestop.

Life must be so different when I'm driving your mom

>walk into gamestop

F-fucking Gamestop?

>go to gamestop
>shooting the shit while I buy vidya
>guy asks me to please take some free crap because they can't get rid of it
>some some skylander shit and a MH pin
Gamestop employees are pretty cool
There are some qt grills who talk about games and look you in the eye like a normal human being
Except there was this one time I swear this girl was spilling her spaghetti on me

I walked into a GameStop and asked if they had any of those new doom posters left they gave me 20 since not that many people preordered it and now I have 18 posters just lying around.

>The store is called GAMESTOP.COM

>all that fucking clutter blocking the entrance

Why even have shelves? Just throw all the games in a massive fucking pile and have people wade through the shit to get what they want. It would be easier.

>Walk into gamestop with gf
>Nerds all over the place
>Few of them eavesdrop on our conversations and try to talk to my QT 3.14 AZN GAMER GF
>"OH YOU LIKE THAT GAME TOO HAVE YOU TRIED X?!?!?"

Who is this thicc semen demon?

Wat

Oh boy, where to begin...

...

You leave the house without your wallet? You do realize without an ID they can detain you until they figure out who you are right?

DON'T

>go to buy Mario 3D Land
>they're giving customers who buy mario games a mario or tanooki hat because they can't get rid of them
>mention that I can't decide
>they give me one of each

Everything turned out fine

Damn good deal user.

Last time I went to Gamestop was when it was still called Funco land. Went in to buy some Pokemon cards and the cashier berated me for being too old, even though I was only 9 years old.

Lel user they were so alpha that they were hollering at your girl even though you were next to her.

>going to pick up Smash 3DS on release day (yeah I know) before classes at about 10am friday morning

>he asks me if I'm here for smash
>I tell him yes, he asks me if I'm going to the university after I get the game
>I stupidly tell him yes
>he asks me for a ride
>I feel bad for the guy, it's raining pretty hard and he's wearing shorts and sandals about two miles off campus
>he's quiet most of the car ride, but near the end he proclaims he has autism and finds it hard to make friends
>I try to talk my way around becoming friends with this guy "no I don't have a facebook" "no I don't know what my friend codes are"
>drop him off at campus and go sit in the parking lot playing smash for the remaining 20 minutes before my class started

Stop being autistic

There isn't much of a story honestly.
I went to gamestop to pick up some game, the girl behind the counter was stuttering a lot when she was talking and wouldn't look me in the eye.
She kept bringing up games when I was trying to give the signal that I need to leave but she kept going on and on, was a little out of breath and couldn't stop stuttering.

Gamestop can detain you?

Hijacking this thread to make it a Micro Center stories thread

>Walk into Micro Center
>Have 400$ to build a PC with, circa 2012. Already have a case, hard drive, ram
>Ask employees politely for assistance like a normal person
>They give me a discount for being polite and social with them, and the standard deal for buying a CPU and MoBo together
>Walk out of Micro Center with a ASRock 990FX MoBo, FX-6300 AMD processor, and a Radeon R9 270 GFX card and a 450W PSU for less than 350$.

>Finally saved up enough money for a PS3.
>Buy it used, and go over it to make sure it's not covered in grime of sticker residue.
>Realize it only has HDMI ports, and that all my tvs use AV cables.
>Express this concern out loud.
>Clerk throws in a MadCatz HDMI to AV converter free.
FUCKING GAMESTOP.

>Citizen's Arrest
It's a dangerous world out there user

PS3s had AV connections at least my slim version did not sure about the superslim.

You didn't know?

Damn, that's awesome. If that's real, good job.

>Radeon R9 270
Nice story but that card didnt exist in 2012

>break up with my girlfriend recently
>feeling unconfident
>try to go to bank with bag of change to convert it to cash

>Spend the night in Gamestop jail.

I honestly don't know why I still go there.

>walk into gamestop
>store is 90% toys, clothing and collectibles that just happen to be gaming related
>it's not even good stuff - just minecraft and skylanders shit

I mean I know no one but kids and the infortunate parents they drag along with them shop there anymore but still.

Oh, right,

FUCKING GAMESTOP

>tfw GAME doesn't have shops in my country anymore because FUCKING GAMESTOP was taking away its customers

>infortunate

>go in to Ebgames
>looking for #FE since it just came out the day before
>search for a bit then finally find the usual empty case
>go up to the counter and hand it to them so they can get me a new copy like the price sticker indicates
>the guy at the counter just looks at me

>I simply look at him and say "that's fucking bullshit"
>Leave Ebgames and easily find a copy at mom and pop game store

Fucking Ebgames

>If you don't reserve you don't deserve
It's the line they usually give

>You do realize without an ID they can detain you until they figure out who you are right?
Nice land of the free you got there amerifats

That's weird that yours was HDMI only, I bought a superslim a couple years and it came with AV cables and ports, and that shit is the most recent model

You also have to have like $5 on you at all times, or you can get arrested for loitering.

And that's shit since I'm not going to reserve the game at a location in a mall I rarely go to since it takes a while to get there

I walked in to the store
Bought a Game
Played it for about five days
Returned it
Was satisfied

>tfw you remember you bought Raccoon City

Which is a fair point, but also there are some games that they don't send excess of, FE might have been one of them.
I remember reserving rune factory at my local gamestop and they had literally only two copies in stock because two people preordered them

>go to blockbuster to pick up Little big Planet 3 on launch day
>"nah we might get it in 2 weeks"
>go home, check social media cause im bored and have no new vidya
>post from blockbuster about gta v next gen
>nothing but complaints in comments
>apparently despite pushing pre-orders so much in marketing they never get games until 2 weeks later
eventually I just stopped buying retail to avoid the trouble, glad the mexican branch finally went out of business. I also had a wonderful experience at the same store where they gave my english Halo 4 copy to someone else and tried to brush it off, giving the standard "we can't do anything" speech. One call to corporate and suddenly they were able to order a new copy from the provider.

I'm glad that Gamestop is dying, proves that shit service gets you nowhere as a business

>walk into gamestop
>buy game with my discount and have a good chat with my friend the manager when i can
