tell us about it

My surrounding GameStops are privately owned. They do not price match online prices (even GameStop.com) and do not match the buyback prices. Completely worthless.

I accidentally showed up 30 minutes earlier to meet someone at a resturant, so I went to the gamestop across the plaza to kill time. checked for any good normal sized new 3DSs, or amiibos. I kinda want a sheik. they had none of it, so I looked at the ps4 wall, saw NMS for $60 and chuckled, and left the store.

This past Friday when i bought Cold Steel 2. I told the guy at the counter what I wanted. He informed me all they had left was the open copy they use to display on the shelf and I told him that was fine. He went and grabbed it and rang me up. I politely declined his upsells, he thanked me for my business, and I went about the rest of my day. Fucking Gamestop am I right guys?

I Went two days ago to pre order one of the new pokemon games, and they had PS4 VR and they kept asking if I wanted to play but I was in a rush to buy lunch and get home so I kindly declined and preordered pokemon sun. Later that night at home I look at the receipts and the guy made a mistake and made it moon instead of sun, which to me is not that bad but do you think they will change it to sun??

Went to pick up a game for my console fag friend last year. Fat neckbeard that was friends with the guy at the register cut everyone in line. I said no to all questions and fucked off.

i went there a few days ago to pick up a wow time card because the credit card i use for my subscription was recently lost and i cancelled it. i walked up to the counter, used my little brother reward card so he can use them for whatever, chatted with the cute girl running the register about wow for a few minutes (this was the thursday after legion was released) and left.

No PC games. I turned 360 degrees and walked away.

cont.?

I went in to buy a used ps4 game for about $20 for the weekend. Notice all the games I wanted to play are either more expensive than the xbone versions or cost $40 used. Said fuck it and left with no game.

are you really this autistic or are you joking

B2G1 sale. Bought about 12 games total from one and another 9 from the other. Only played 2 of them.

Why do faggots bitch about buying from Gamestop again? I get the selling scam, but buying is easy and simple.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

Too bad Gamestop isnt a company that does/allows that. Theyre just jews if thats the case. GG

>being this incredibly new

What? For having bad internet that's capped?

i walked in to buy a steam link and they had it discounted to 30$, i bought it and i left.

>nearby GameStop has a THICC qt with glasses that are always sitting too low on the bridge of her nose and an approachably attractive redhead
>other GameStop nearby has a petite pale qt with curly brown hair
>different GameStop from the other 2 has another pale qt, but her hair is dyed jet black and she has arm tattoos

why can't I go to a GameStop without there being qts there

They all probably have bf's so just treat them like the boring fucks they are. Honestly the best way to go through life is to assume every single attractive female you might have the slightest interest in has a boyfriend and suddenly it's much easier to interact with them.

GameStop BTFO

You sound like a repulsive neet with no friends

going tomorrow to preorder FFXV and gravity rush

I bought Project Diva X on launch day and there was the greasy fedoralord in line behind me.

Paid for game and left.

I actually had a girl so interested she invited me to an anime convention. I said no because I was worried about taking a day off of work.

forgot about this thread, sorry

To pick up Project Diva X because I forgot about it coming out until the day before. Half the store was filled with those POP! dolls and they wanted $20 for most PS3/360 games.

I don't know what happens at all your guys' GameStops but all my visits to them end really nicely.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

you sound like a fucking cunt

are you a girl?

>KEKED. THE POST

I work at one, so I was there today. Some mother came in with her son and told us she was dropping him off because she had to go shopping. This child proceeded to talk about how MOBAs shouldn't have MLG tournaments because you can't quickshot in them but Minecraft should, FNAF shouldn't be popular, cringe videos are great, how furries are a thing and he is one, how me and my coworker are weeaboos, how upset he is about the new Pokemon games changing Raichu specifically, and how his friend told him all about hentai. 9/11 happened again in my store today. Because the future of this country is now threatened.

You should have kicked him out and laughed in the moms face when she came back trying to get angry at you for not being a day care.

I walk past one fairly regularly but I understand that they're pretty rare in my country.

No. I'm a 270lb fat dude but all you need to do to get treated nice by girls is to JUST B URSELF! :^)

>a friend of mine recently moved back in with a family friend of his, since he couldn't afford to pay his rent at the place he was previously living because his boss was a dick and paid him late, and then let him go

It was ok.

there was a pretty epic copypasta on this

i don't remember, one of the lines was like

>bought belts and zippers xiii

im sure one of you has it from a best of Sup Forums thread

>when to GS
>pre ordered world of FF

FUCKING GAMESTOP

most of mine end up pretty OK, too

there's a QT girl i usually have small chitchat with. the guys who work there are pretty funny, too. they aren't that pushy (they ask me if there's anything i want to preorder, and don't press any further if i say "no"), let me know if i need anything (if i'm just looking around), and let me on my way

pretty boring, yet friendly, affair

>I have Best Buy GCU
>I have Amazon Prime
>mfw literally the only time I go to GameStop now is when I'm tagging along with someone else, or I'm specifically looking to get a game used

There was a guy who worked at my local GS that was really hot and I had a thing for.

I would go there and buy something to try and talk to him, but after 3 or 4 times I learned he was just a huge dick.

That was about 2 years ago.

I have both but GCU just isn't worth it. The lack of free shipping on low cost orders invalidates the whole deal.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

Yeah I really don't understand why people have bad experiences at GameStop. It's just like any other store when you know what you want and know if they have it or not.

I usually buy enough shit by the end of the year to get Elite My Best Buy shit, so that's not a problem for me - there's always free shipping.

Honestly, Best Buy has been having some killer fucking deals this year. Just a month or so ago they had a bunch of Wii U games on sale for $30 before GCU (Star Fox Zero, Yoshi's Wooly World, Super Mario Maker, Xenoblade X)

I didn't buy any, but even though they might have less games they sell compared to Amazon, they've still got some really damn good deals sometimes.

When Metal Gear Solid: V came out and they couldn't secure my collector's edition because they miscounted how many they were supposed to get. It was the last straw.

I got an amazon prime subscription and I haven't looked back since. Fuck gamestop.

>Several friends gushing over the Monster Hunter Generations demo

I'm currently HR 7+ something and all of my friends are still HR2 or HR3.

>Got impatient and bought the digital version at midnight

I haven't been back since then

December of last year?
They were pretty alright, they had some discount mtg packs in which is why I stopped in, honestly. Me and the guy at the counter talked a bit about magic and some vg bullshit.
Oh wait...January this year, too. Friend gave me their gift card. Went to one in the mall. Was not spoken to once, got scoffed at for asking a question to one of the employees. Everyone was dudebro.
Usually don't have issues with the stand alone stores, but the mall stores are ass.

barring things like idiot employees and honest mistakes, it's weird how many people seem to have bad experiences with Gamestop

i mean, the company isn't perfect, but you don't enter the 8th gate of hell whenever you walk through GS's doors

I called gamestop and asked them if they had Senran Kagura Estival Versus. Had to repeat it a couple of times before the guy said they had it.

Then called the mom n pop video game store by me and all i said was Senran before the guy on the phone was like "oh, the latest one? yeah we got it, want me to hold a copy for you?"

Turns out they were selling the preorder version too. Go the artbook, ost, and trading cards without pre-ordering.

today i had some gift card there bought god of war collection with the 5 games, two i have to download. i bought a $20 gift card too.

beautiful

There aren't any GS in here but when I've gone to Orlando the people treat you nicely and they seem to know what they're talking about.

gotta get that China somehow

I buyed 4 ps4 games at 200$

>ps4 games
wut

...

I went to buy a game. I picked it off the shelf, paid for it, talked about an upcoming release and my doubts about it with the clerk, and left.

>Bought sonic 06 for 50 cents
>good chat with the only employee in the shop
>had a kek playing it for awhile

pretty nice actually.

>For having bad internet that's capped?
Why is it legal in the US to get capped by ISP? that's fucking insane

I went in looking for Vita games.

I found a case full of the cases. And since I wasn't interested in the fighting and JRPG games there, I had left.

I did spot a case for Murasama: Rebirth. But since I had the game, I didn't buy it.

That's fake and transgender, the staff that accepts the returns always have to check the disc before accepting the return

Did a site to store for Persona 4 Golden. Waited in line for 30 minutes while the one GA tried to reset/remember his password for the register. Boss comes out sees line and goes into the backroom to hide.

I never run into this shit with my mailbox.

Many years ago, I think my little brother wanted some Pokemon they were giving out on their wifi or something for Diamond version since he always wanted to catch em all.
