No Tyrone, "the Mario" is not on Xbox

No Tyrone, "the Mario" is not on Xbox.

No Tyrone, I don't care what your girlfriend said, "the Mario" is not on Xbox.

No Tyrone, I can't accept two duplicates of the exact same game for trade-ins. There should be no reason for you to have more than one copy of the same fucking game. If one was for PS4 and one was for Xbox, I could do it, but they're both on Xbox, so I can't. Actually, even if that were the case, I still can't because they're both sealed and unopened. What kind of fucking idiot do you take me for?

>mfw cricket wireless retailer in a gamestop, times are tough for GS

i wanted to like gamestop, i really did.

but it just didn't work out. maybe we can work something out in the future? a blowjob? analsex? who knows? one thing's for sure, the game continues until gamestop fixes up.

>There should be no reason for you to have more than one copy of the same fucking game.

If I like a game enough I'll actually buy it on all the platforms it's on. Sometimes I'll just do it to see if there are any differences even if slight between the releases of the games. One time I even bought a game on Xbox (despite already having it on PS4) just because I liked the button prompts more than on the PS4's.

Quit talking to your imaginary pet black guy

>Tyrone

I don't know man, when I used to work at Gamestop the "Tyrone's" were all undercover RPG dorks and knew more about games than a lot of the skinny white critters whose parents would drop them off.

Did you even read the rest of the post?

What if you already had the game on one system AND you knew you liked the button prompts on it better, would you still buy the game on the system with perceived inferior button prompting?

>pet black guy

Literally read the rest of the post.

I own a sealed copy of Meteos on DS in addition to an opened one.
I got it on sale so I just bought it even though I'll never need it. Roughly for $1.

op meant the nigger walked in, grabbed two games off a shelf, and tried to trade them in for cash

>seasonal hours
>get out at midnight on Saturdays

Good question. It depends. For collection reasons or for the sake to see any differences between the two I may.

Fucking EB Games.

>It's never been used.

Can you prove the game has been played before? Gutting =/= used. Also it's not even "used" anymore, the term is "pre-owned".

Kek

you always post this in every gamestop/eb games thread.

Sue me. Faggot.

Fuck me. Hoe.

What is it like?

Your story is kinda shit m8. Is it even true?

no u

>yes, i repaired your DS lite for under $30
>yes, it took less than a day because i had everything I need
>yes, you've never caused problems for me
>BUT YOUR $1200 BRAND NEW SMARTPHONE IS NOT GOING TO BE $30 AND LESS THAN A DAY TO FIX THE GLASS, DIGITIZER, AND LCD YOU ADMIT TO SMASHING WHEN YOU WERE "DRUNK AS SHIT"

people are fucking buffoons and this recent trend of "admitting wrong means i get special treatment" has completely fucking gutted my soul from my body

I don't get it

Can't sue you unless I get your full name. Is Faggot your first or last name?

...

Wow, had no idea people like you existed. What do you do for a living that you have so much money you can waste is like this?

a regular customer of mine insisted i fix his brand new iPhone 7+ display for the same price as his old-ass DS hinge, as he insisted it's "basically the same thing"

And in the middle of this debate he brought up how he broke it when he threw it while drunk, as if this was some kind of point of argument that would sway me to his side. I've witnessed loads of people doing this, flat out admitting some serious lapse of judgement and sense like it's going to win them sympathy for being such an emotional destructive fuckstain.

I don't know what you aren't getting so forgive me if I haven't exactly clarified on the point of confusion.

What's funny is you assume cashcows like him work for their money

Hate this bullshit. Only reason I ever go into EB games is if every other store is out of whatever I want to pick up. What a shitty store. If you pull this shit, they want to give you a buck fifty for your never played game.

It's worth repeating. This is unacceptable.

you have issues with the english language

I just had this discussion the other day with a boon. They're so goddamn stupid and will believe anything. Not to mention the idiot kids that want GTA mods on the xbox and think that they exist.

Like holy shit. Niggers and nigger children are some of the dumbest animals on the planet. They're effectively not human.

Are they born into money? Or what? I don't get it. When I worked full time I didn't even have enough money for a a PS3. I assumed everybody just went into debt for shit. I can't even pay off my student or tax debt, barely able to survive.

>Man, they better not put out titty rpg for me on the display to see that they have it!

>WHERE THE FUCK IS TITTY RPG!!!

>THEY MUST NOT HAVE IT FUCK GAMESTOP

your anal anger about us having to have a display copy out is hilarious because I know you'd react exactly how I posed if we didn't have a display copy.

It has never been played. It's been gutted. Meaning i put it in my drawer and you get to see we have the game. autistic shit

>going to gamestop

>No Tyrone, I can't accept two duplicates of the exact same game for trade-ins.

What the actual fuck? Is this a real thing? Stores won't take in multiple copies of a game for trade-in? I'd absolutely love to hear the backwards ass logic on this shit. It sounds even more backwards than the rule that they can't buy games with shrinkwrap on it. But I can at least understand why there might be some legal reason for that. But not being able to buy multiple copies of a game? Let's hear the retarded ass reason for THAT one.

Because you fucking stole those copies you dirty ass nigger. If they're the same game but on different systems, it's fine, you might have some bullshit weasel logic there, but not same game exact same system, no excuse. We don't want your ill-gotten gains sweetie

>Buy game
>Friend gifts same game
>Uncle gifts same game again
>Out of town for a week and addiction settles in, buy game again
>New girlfriend buys same game again

Now I have 5 copies of the same again, all bought legitimately, and you're telling me a valid business is going to mistrust me and label me as guilty before innocent, and not allow me to simply use their services? That's pretty fucked up and hateful.

I think it's just your lack of reading skills playing a part you stupid nigger

Bring them in at different days with them open problem solved faggot

Get out of my store.

What do you expect from a store that guts new copies to display the cover on store shelves out of fear that their customers will steal from them? I'm surprised they don't put all games in giant plastic cases. Well, that would be an improvement over selling used copies as new.

Really? Because the last time I ran into a black guy at Gamestop he wouldn't shut up about NBA 2kxx...

>that guts new copies to display the cover on store shelves out of fear that their customers will steal from them
>out of fear

Gamestop is shit but come on, COME ON. "Fear"?

i'm ESL and i understood both his posts perfectly, you should get back to school

They used to accept duplicates back in the early 2000s before they found out that Niggers were stealing 10+ copies of the same game from Walmart and trying to turn them in for store credit.

I used to work at EBgames in 1999-2003 and used to see some retarded shit. OP is literally correct.

Okay, paranoia. That better?

Mexicans used to steal empty game jewel cases from Gamestop here in WA and resell shitty bootleg games in them at flea markets.

kek do burgers really say "the Mario"?

I've had black people say "the mario game" probably because they can't pronounce odyssey

They live 100% rent free with their parents.
They have ZERO obligations and no costs of living.

They likely get disability around $2200 a month for some bullshit illness or injury or mental problem which doesn't actually prevent them from working, but their doctors literally do not give a shit and just want them to stop coming in twice a week to demand one, so they'll gladly write them a recommendation to get rid of them.
Then they apply for SSDI and get autismbux for life.

Where I'm at, they steal display boxes, then put stolen redbox discs in them and shrink-wrap them as "new".
It's amazing. They don't even remove the redbox label off the disc. Apparently, they have a few guys and they rent 1 or 2 games a week, and put back photocopied disc back, then cancel their account, and a second guy rents the same game, and reports it. The first guy gets burned, but he's an illegal with false info, so it doesn't matter. He'll have a new credit card within a week.

>there are people born after portal 2 released that have played it

you're a complete moron.

>I can't accept two duplicates of the exact same game for trade-ins

I don't think they would refuse this.

They would, and have.

t. employee

Every other fucking store in the world manages to not gut their games. Go into a target, toysrus, walmart, anything and they will have sealed copies of the games. Most behind glass cases but a few in the clearance bins. Don't tell me Gamestop NEEDs to gut game cases for display.

Fixing phone screens is so easy, even the digitizer

Stop attracting niggers to your store then

Literally all of these problems go away if you stop going to stores in shady black areas.

It's a different system that requires GameStop to display more games in a smaller space. Also, if everything were locked behind glass, it would take longer for the employee to walk to that part of the store, unlock the shit, and bring the game back to the front. I really don't understand why you'd be so buttfrustrated by this

Ok fuckers I got one

I had weird and good moments working there.

Sorry i'm a little confused here, is this guy defending selling Used games for New price?

display cases are empty

The adoption gags are the only reason I'd be hesitant to give that game to a young child

your point being?

>pet black guy
where to cop?

>bmx xxx

oldfag here.
it's actually not that hard, user.
all you need to have is a decent job and very shitty monetary priorities.

>what do you do for a living
>a decent job

thanks for the assistance user. Real helpful.

They did this to my parents last year when they were looking for a gift to give my cousin, I don't know what made them think it was acceptable

youtube.com/watch?v=JdOOBoCAlgs

The only blacks I ever see stop in to Gamespot are weeb nerds. Chadwick "Dudebro" McWhitersen is the common retard who comes in to our store asking if we heard anything about the new Call of Duty and other lame shit.

>black weebs

My fuckin nigga, literally the only likable kind.

>guy brings in two dualshock 4 controllers for trade.
>wants cash.
>has already traded in six, two a week.

"yeah i just don't need these controllers they were gifts"

right. right.

you're welcome.

He's saying it's not hard to afford video games of all platforms if you have poor priorities in what to spend on. How did you not understand that?

if i buy a new game at my local gamestop i take the display case to the counter and the clerk gives me a sealed copy from the back, is this a regional thing? i fully understand not wanting to buy an unsealed game as new

>So much money
Thats...not that expensive a habit...
I do this as well. I have no student debt because I said Fuck college and landed a job that now pays me $30+ an hour/automatic overtime on sundays with 2 decent bonuses a year. Plus I nabbed a sweet little home I pay next to nothing for with a wife that halves the bills with me.
I spend money like I'm dying tomorrow because Fuck it I might.

The bigger shock is that you were willing to pay 60 bucks for the censored version of BMX XXX. Even the GameCube version had titties.

Jealous. My biggest regret is falling for the college meme

I'm saying it was a stupid answer to an easy question asked ages ago.

Had the question been "how does he afford video games of all platforms", that answer would be perfectly fine, but there was a specific question directed at that specific user and any asshole can say "it just takes a decent job" because you aren't actually saying anything.

Hence my sarcastic remark.

I’m not a burger, but I am a britbong and have worked at GAME for 2 years during Uni.

I like my sheen megoomi tensei and the like user.

I didn't know it was an esrb E10. Should probably have been a T. It's a 12 here which is about right in my opinion.

Based Dad. At least his son won't be another spoiled cunt

it got an E10 because there's no blood unlike the first. they milked the shit out of it to advertise the game on disney and the like. it sounds harmless but it probably attracted a lot of normalfags that strictly go by ESRB ratings and didn't know how edgy portal is.

>didn't even read the post
kys

That's because you never had ambition in the first place, you just followed the pack. College isn't just an access card to a better life, you actually have to put some effort in beyond your schooling.

Right, and it's the ESRB's fault. Parents shouldn't have to perform intensive background research into every little thing they let their offspring watch/play/whatever. A rating shouldn't be based on strict metrics like whether blood is shown, but rather on overall suitability.

I would actually rather let a 10yo play a violent shooter like CoD (without voice chat) than Portal 2.

I'm an SGA at gamestop. ask me anything.

But that's wrong. I've wanted to get involved in that line of work since childhood and interned with several different agencies all through college. I've spent weeks and hundreds of dollars getting required certifications too.

That's another part of the joke, by the way. Why the fuck don't colleges offer certifications that are essentially required for the jobs your degree is for?

>”YOU WON’T BE GETTING A WII U, YOU’LL BE GETTING A SMACK AROUND THE HEAD”
>the dad smacks him around the head

I wish I had a mic so I could Vocaroo this.

When someone tries to sell me sealed new releases one of the most common crap excuses I hear is "I got doubles on my birthday and couldn't return them".

Why?
