Gamestop's back on track boys

Wow, a free piece of plastic you can buy on Amazon for $2 and is already waning in popularity

Are they /ourguys/ once again?

You can trade in ANY game though, even Fifa 2002

>not even orange
What's the fucking point?

The gas money spent on driving there would be enough to buy a fidget spinner. The trade in prices are already a joke, but they will most likely only become lower during this promotion.

>free

Why won't gamestop just die already
The physical stores are a seething puddle of cancer and the online store is just a bad version of Amazon
They should not exist

Do you think they'll accept old SNES games like Earthbound?

stop

>Can't use coupons online
Even their online store is stuck in 2007

Only with the original box

what are the chances of that game coming to other platforms?

f-free!?

>2012
>used to see gamestop ads everywehere, after every commercial and on billboards
>2017
never seen a single gamestop ad, not even online ads
what happened? have they lost so much money they can't even afford to advertise anymore?

>ireland

Sony won, boys.

Pretty much. Go into any of them these days and half the story is just Funko Pops and nerd apparel. They're hanging by a thread.

this is what is holding me back. I heard the console version is going to be limited to 30 fps. I just can't accept that in the current year

I get my copy on Friday, can't wait.

Why are they losing money anyways? Digital distribution? I go to a game store now and half the place is filled with toys or board games. Pop toys are what I think they're called.

Are you retarded?! Those games still have far greater value than anything GameStop would offer.

Yeah because the original Crash totally ran at 60,

Just like how OoT totally didn't run at 14fps

okay numbers douche

Wasn't the original 30 fps? I'd imagine playing this in 60 frames would make the platforming more difficult.

>Sony fans
>literal autism
Sounds about right.

A free fidget nigger!?

But why?

its not a numbers thing, its an objectively inferior experience. This is coming from someone who replayed GTA Vice City/SA in 144 fps. jesus what a ride compared to the PS2 shitshow.

and yes the original crash ran like shit it was also 1995 you colossal faggot. Do you still run with windows 95?

What the fuck?
Why does the word nigger auto-correct to nigger?

Fidget nigger
FIDGET NIGGER
Fidget s p i n n e r

Digital distribution is certainly a factor, plus there's Amazon for buying cheaper vidya and ebay for selling your older games for a better price than Gamestop would ever give you.

At this point, Gamestop's got no real ace up their sleeve, since everything they do is being done better elsewhere, and the only demographic keeping them afloat is dumbasses who either have no credit card or knowledge of the internet beyond hooking up to XBL.

Don't tell me what to do you fat cunt

why do you tell him the truth? He shouldve learned the hard way

If you type something enough on a phone it will add it to the autocorrect list.

dumb phone posters

Yeah fuck man I can't wait for the rerelease of Citizen Kane in 144 fps!

Spanner spenner sponner nigger

wtf

>mfw some family member of yours could try to type spinner on your phone and get nigger

Technically they could make Citizen Kane run at 144FPS with enough frame blend.

NIGGER MIDGET
works just fine

Endless bad decisions and consumer unfriendly practices, which ultimately hurt their business. Best Buy/Amazon's 20% off membership deals absolutely killed GameStop's income.

The dumbass demographic is a strong one though.

not fat

your post just like your life is fucked

reported

>If you trade in any game that we'll sell back for at LEAST 5 bucks you get this 2 dollars piece of shit for FREE!
WOAH! FREE!

>i settle for mediocrity like the shitbag person I am

I bet you're the type of faggot that does cross-fit and then brags to his friends about how much more healthy he has become.

I think it has to do with people getting lazier actually, I went to Gamestop the other day and they had Vanquish for like, $5 and MGR for $2 not on sale while they're $20 and $11 respectively on Amazon

But can we get Super Kitizen Cane Turbo: VR Edition?

hello, reddit!

I don't even know what these things are. Are they like yo-yos?

i have never been more proud to be irish, can't wait to add this fidget spinner to my collection

f.a.g.g.o.t.

they're toys ment for kids with autism
so they're perfect for the sony audience

Why this fidget spinner dumb shit is soo popular?

No I just don't eat food.

Literally a meme

>All the GameStops in my area are independently owned
>They never honor online prices or promotions
I feel sorry for all those kids that will be asked "What's a fidget spinner".

>people buy memes these days
nani the fuck

>ever paying for memes
>not pirating your memes

you wouldn't download a meme

dont ever reply to me again

I'm crying and laughing.

What the fuck is a fidget spinner

Craghing?

>giving anyone my phone

k

Also has to do with their shitty open case practices.
When people buy a new game they want a NEW unopened game. Why would I go to a store that smells worse than death to get a shitty possibly used/damaged version of a game when I could NOT and get a brand new copy.

It happens all the time. Just look at Nier: Automata.

I still go to gamestop when I'm at the mall to see what used games they have. Sometimes I do find some nice stuff like a used Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom for $15

People will say online but the real killer is big names like Walmart and Target allowing video games to be part of regular sales. For the longest time, sales used to exclude the electronics department. Now most stores have better deals than Gamestop on a daily basis

>Gamestop in Donaghmede
>still remember years ago buying a ton of great used PS2 games cheap once seventh gen started
>go around to it now
>half the shop is taken up by shitty gamer 'loot', Minecraft props and overpriced epic gamer t-shirts

Just end it all lads

test
spinner

roorah pls

>Gamestop used to be a good place to find classic used vidya from most generations
>they decided to change their entire business model to pawn shop bullshit and trashed everything older than a year from the store

...

Only thing worse are the "vintage" shops that sell old vidya at gouging prices. Seriously, who's honestly willing to pay $50 in 2017 for a copy of Morrowind on the Xbox?

>Europe
it makes more sense everyday now.

Real gamers go to CEX anyway

I literally just saw one of those in a store yesterday.

>Store is a mess to find things
>Inventory is god awful, nothing ever stocked
>WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY X MAGAZINE
>HOW ABOUT A REWARDS CARD
>WOULD YOU LIKE TO PREORDER X, IF NOT I WILL BE FIRED
>Games ripped out of their box for "display purposes"
>Trade in value is dogshit
You could walk to a walmart/best buy/target and deal with none of the bullshit and honest to get they have an actual inventory.

Gamestops full retard "we have no room for the latest game because we need to stop 800 copies of 3 year old used madden" destroyed them

>poor management
>poor business practices
>opening the fucking products
>being such a notoriously shitty employer that nobody wants to deal with them
>completely blown the fuck out by online shopping in both prices and service

Fuck lad, I'm in Ireland too and this is exactly what it's like for me.
What faggots are actually buying this shit?

Stop bitching

no

>see a new 'retro' game store pop up in my town and decide to give it a look out of novelty if nothing else.
>Prices are insane, boxless, torn label, common NES games listed at 30 dollars each. Systems priced at one hundred and fifty and look like they haven't even been cleaned
Fuck, I thought that a store specializing in retro games would need to know the first thing about them, but I'm sure idiots have eaten it up.

autistic bs but let babbies have some fun Sup Forums ffs stop acting like old bitter assholes

Perfect match

I hope you are just kidding.

It's disappointing because I really want to support these sorts of places but the pricing on anything outside of brand-new games that are the same everywhere (and even these you can get discounts on recently) is always comically bad.

>Fidget spinner
Bitch please, china is way ahead of us.
edition.cnn.com/2017/06/23/china/china-toothpick-crossbow/index.html

Now that's a toy.

yeah. what are you, poor

>M.T. Denton takes the stealthy approach.jpg

Why does Ireland have Gamestop and not England?

...

>company is so based they give you a free trinket
>OMG Y R THEY NOT DED YET UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH

Fuck this board I'm out ya'll better kys soon because this shit is fucking pathetic. SAGE MOTHA FUCKAS!

>crossbow
crossbow are for fags, call me when they make a mini trebouchet or a catault

There people on Sup Forums who still trade their games in, pennies for the dollar

Who's willing to pay that much for Starcraft or C&C on the N64 in any year?
