>We didn't need gaming stores back then
Were you born a few years ago?

Went into eb games today. Pretty sad sight. No selection of games just funkos. Also how come people keep their funkos in the box? I can't imagine those things ever increasing in value.

I still buy used games there sometimes, they have a sale almost every week on used games, but every time I go in half the store is those black replacement game cases. I'm not buying one of those. Every single time I take a chance, bring the game up to the counter and ask if they have one with a real case in a drawer, they usually say no of course, but then they are absolutely shit shocked when I say I'll put it back and look for a different game. Doesn't matter what store, doesn't matter what employee, I get the same goofy ass look like I just murdered a baby. I swear to god, they must be instructed to act that way. Stop taking games with no case you fucking gamestop.

Support your local business, usually where I live, suburbs of nyc on the nj side, densely populated Hispanic area there are actually quite a few game shops here and their selling new games before the release date and a lot of retro game shops that’ll host game tournaments.

Feels good man but shitty roach infested city

We have one local game shop here, and the guy who owns it is a literal jew and still charges 40 bucks for games gamestop sells for 15

Are you implying Gamestop wasn't a megajew who kickstarted some if not nearly all of the most predatory business practices seen in the industry today?

They used to be based, when they let u return new games 3 times on the same receipt

Golly, I wonder if it has anything to do with charging full price for a used game and being harassed about their "rewards" program everytime you buy something?

I finally watched that fucking video that's been on my YouTube recommended so much as of late of that one guy who worked there for 11 years and threw some serious dirt on them. Turns out GameStop truly was a shithole of a company.

How hard is it to say no?

yeah less compition is never a win for consumers. you ever wonder why digital sales are cheaper? they can afford them to be, theres no middleman now, nor physical shipping or production. you idiots celebrating games stops fall can have fun getting fucked by ms and sony buying 3 year old games at twice the price they are now.

i think their end will be the start of the next crash desu. i just hope it happens after my preorders have gone through.

>mfw I preordered Death Stranding from GameStop because I thought they'd still be around by November.

Don't anybody lynch me for this, but r*ddit has a sub exclusively for employees, and I remember just reading their posts about the "circle of life" program and how no one would get any work hours at all, or they'd be fired if they didn't meet used game sale quotas, or Premium Memberships for the month. They got compared to all the other stores in the area, their store got a score, I think it was called a "QOL" score or some shit, and the employees were stressed out over it, lying to customers, telling them they had no new copies of a new game so they could sell used copies, so they could up their score. I mean, it sounded like a fuycking nightmare for like 15-20 hours a week. They treated their employees as disposable.

How the fuck do you spend over a decade wasting away in a Gamestop uniform?

I used to work at Sears. We had our retarded rewards program shit that every fucking store has/had. We were seriously grilled if we didn't meet our quota/metrics of sign-ups. How the FUCK is it fair that if a customer doesn't want to sign up for some bullshit, I get penalized and reprimanded for it? I remember one time, some guy who didn't know a lick of English came in and had no idea what I was saying. He was paying for his stuff but then out of nowhere, the cunt manager comes out and makes me actually take the poor fucking guy to one of our computers and sign him up for the rewards garbage. I felt so ill.

Doesn't surprise me GameStop does the same shit.

>cool have fun paying 60 for ur indie shit, that you would normally play 20 for.
Indie games have a competitive market.
They aren't all about to collectively agree to start charging 60 bucks a piece for indie games.
Some asshole would charge 40 to stand out
Then another would be 30 to stand out more
Then another goes 15 to undercut a bit more
and so on

I suspect gameshops policy of having their employees aggressively push preorder has backfired with people no longer wishing to go there just to avoid the spiel
Digital didn't kill gamestop, greed did.

Yikes if true

Very true, dunno what to do at this point

because people are young and like to go out and have fun, and fun costs money. You don't think of the future when you're 19 years old.

Americans are poorly educated which leads to low general intelligence and poorly paid, its a killer combination.

Why do you think the guy who pushed them to do that got to buy the company at bargain bin prices.

They'll eventually sell your debt to a credit collection agency, who will at some point in the future offer you a discounted rate to pay it all off. Your credit score will be affected until then. I mean, it's a problem, but don't kill yourself stressing over it. Just handle it when you can and don't forget,.

If it's just you, go full poverty mode for a while.
Cheap food, cheap entertainment, cut down on utility usage, etc.

I worked at sears when I was like 18, and they made me try to sell the cards to people and shit, I told the manager how can i force someone to sign up for a card they dont want? Shit is so dumb

That's what happens when you cut funding to schools to the point where teachers need to pay for all supplies out of their own underpaid pockets.

Big box stores provide more competition in terms of physical sales than Gamestop does, who try to buy the minimum amount of new copies from publishers and then encourage their customer base to sell their copies back to them as quickly as possible so they can create their own predatory ecosystem of 5% off used games.

I'm pretty sure the majority of jobs are in service, of which retail is a subset. It's not like 6/10 people in the workforce are register monkeys and stockers.

I fucking hate /pol/ shit, especially when it's in places where it shouldn't be but I swear if I ever ran for mayor or Senate or something, I'd improve the American education system so much. Okay, that's all I'm gonna say. Don't wanna get off topic.

That's exactly why I know they don't care if you only trade in the disc, with no case. I go to my local used game store, they would tell you to fuck off if you brought in a book of nothing but game discs. But not gamestop. In their minds, they'll take your disc, throw it in a black case, sell it, and then that person will trade it back in to rinse and repeat. Doesn't seem like it's paying off for them. If they were smart, they would try to cater to physical game collectors, because that's all that's gonna be left if hard drives keep getting bigger and faster.

Because it allows them to gauge how many people you can actually force to add things onto their bill just because they refuse to accept their card, also allows them to gauge metrics, but if you piss enough people off with it, eventually your metrics end up skewed the worst way.

Teachers are fucking spoiled though and work nearly half as much as other jobs do for their level of pay. Teaching sucks because our whole system sucks and is designed to make unthinking lever pullers.

It's a collectors item for the extremely casual collector. It's the same shit like with beanie babies and not taking the tags off. If you want to get shit that will net you a large profit, you have to go for items that are rare. Do your research. I made over 2 grand on a signed basketball I got because a college near me (Duke) had a player signing day. Sold that shit after one of the players got the biggest shoe deal in rookie nba history. I dont know shit about sports, but I know what to snatch up. If you havent already and can find it, preorder cyberpunk the collectors edition. Even IF you dont end up being able to flip it for twice its value or more, most places have a 30 day money back guarantee. Just dont open the shit and theyll take it back no questions asked. I love scalping. Thanks for reading my blog

You can see the veins

MUH DICK.

USA is in the top 10 for spending per student. Our schools are shit because of forced integration. No matter how much money you spend on nigs they will never learn and will do everything at their disposal to drag everyone else down with them. NYC spends an obscene amount of money compared to Maine, but has far less effective schools.

>teachers are spoiled
Holy shit, do you get all your information from fucking facebook posts or something? How the fuck are they spoiled when many are so underpaid and the fact that tenure only matters for the assholes who are in their 60s and about to retire. And lets not forget how many states force their teachers to pay into the state pension, but allow other government workers to exempt themselves and pay nothing into it, then while suffering budget shortfalls literally steal all that money and never pay the teachers back for any of it. Also you seem to think they get all of summer off like the kids when they have to attend classes for new teaching techniques or re-certifications and other shit that costs time and money.

yeah but you got that little peepee tho

It worked for a while when the games console industry was at a perfect zenith of technology and cost, and the primary method of gameplaying was from a disc. When people just really wanted to play the new Halo or COD, and new digital ecosystems and sellers weren't yet exposing Gamestop as the frauds they are.

Ironically their fate is very closely matching that of Blockbuster, who gets romanticized by modern day Hollywood propaganda, but in reality was the gamestop of the 90's, poaching independent video stores and building a monopoly on the rental industry. And then when a bigger fish came to swallow them, there was nothing to save the video rental industry, because the ecosystem of that industry had no diversity within it and Blockbuster killed all the alternatives.

Please do.

Dude get a fucking job and you could have that shit paid off in a few months easily. 2k is a chunk of change, but shit man I had nearly 36k in student debt that I paid off and like 30k is the norm for college grads with debt. 2k is laughably small to complain about.

So what every county should have a regular school then a prison school that’s everything should of putting shackles on kids?

>legit looks like my friend from the back

Shame his mom is hispanic as fuck and short as hell. Not blonde at all.

I went to Gamestop to buy Fire Emblem. They said they had no copies without a preorder and I'd have tough luck finding one. Due to their retarded planning I went to a second Gamestop less than half a mile away. I got the same line. I went to a Best Buy down the road and bought the game no problem. Fuck Gamestop.

>new digital ecosystems and sellers weren't yet exposing Gamestop as the frauds they are
Yeah, because digital rentals that cost the same as their physical counterparts and strip away consumer rights while reserving the right to revoke the privilege to play at any time is totally great, and other sellers like Amazon aren't doing the same shady, anti-consumer bullshit you're chastising Gamestop for doing but worse.

>because the ecosystem of that industry had no diversity within it and Blockbuster killed all the alternatives
Physical rental stores would have gone out of business regardless of how many there were, it would not have mattered if there were two dozen national chains or one.

They wanted you to buy the game used and only sell preorders so they can sell the minimum amount of new copies.

>dude, just bring back segregation

Why do people work shit jobs like that? When I was a neet for 6 months I placed sports bets to get by and it was awesome . I have a good job now but anyone who works at McDonald's and general retail I assume they are slightly retarded.

>Yeah, because digital rentals that cost the same as their physical counterparts and strip away consumer rights while reserving the right to revoke the privilege to play at any time is totally great, and other sellers like Amazon aren't doing the same shady, anti-consumer bullshit you're chastising Gamestop for doing but worse.
Digital dealers on average objectively give a better deal than Gamestop. I wasn't making some sweeping endorsement by pointing this out, so get that sand out of your vagina.
>Physical rental stores would have gone out of business regardless of how many there were, it would not have mattered if there were two dozen national chains or one.
The difference is that they wouldn't have all crashed at once like the end of Independence Day, and local communities would have still had the power to determine the financial viability of their video stores without worrying about the corporate mothership blowing up. The same way I still have local games sellers near me and Gamestop's end won't spell their end.

>NYC spends an obscene amount of money
Because Maine is so much more populous than NYC, are you just brain damaged or do you not understand how fucking averages work? Also the main issue is the fact that teachers were forced to teach kids to take tests instead of helping them learn and become interested in learning by themselves because No Child Left Behind literally incentivized schools kicking out mentally deficient students as they harmed test score averages.

It's nothing to do with niggers retard. American education sucks because the government wants it to suck, stupid people are easier to oppress.

That's why niggers are so violent as well, keep them savage so that the country is distracted by racial issues as you fuck the people sideways.

Why not? Statistically, blacks have gained nothing from desegregation, in terms of wealth, standard of living, marriage retention or even jail time. In fact they have become per capita poorer all around, and their neighborhoods are in complete disarray. Meanwhile whites lose their rights to voluntary association, and many other rights as well.

Also, school performance was better across the board. We didn't even have a department of education until the 80's and our education has been getting worse for decades. The spending has gone up and the quality has gone down for decades.

>Anyone who makes an honest living is retarded

>walked into a mall gamestop yesterday for the first time in years

Gamestop should have died years ago. And I'm a former SGA.

I just say that I am not interested in anything no warranty no edge card just the game. Amazon is the future and thank fuck it is.

Because for some people they either lack options or have low willpower and go for the lowest hanging fruit to satisfy the minimum requirements of employment. Many gamestop employees are practically pseudo-neets who just work to fuel their video game and anime lifestyle, or some other sort of low effort retail position.

>quality has gone down for decades.
Nothing to do with blacks, the quality has gone down because the government wants the people to be poorly educated, the spending is so they don't notice what the government is doing.
And the blacks haven't improved because the government likes them be be like that because it distracts people from real issues.

>The difference is that they wouldn't have all crashed at once like the end of Independence Day, and local communities would have still had the power to determine the financial viability of their video stores without worrying about the corporate mothership blowing up
Yes, they would have. People didn't stop going to blockbuster and mom-and-pop video rental stores because there was no alternative and muh big bad corporation :(((( they stopped because digital rentals/streaming was more convenient and readily accessible. Physical rentals offered nothing that digital streaming/rentals didn't offer more easily and conveniently, and services like Netflix also made renting physical media more convenient for those that still wanted it.

>The same way I still have local games sellers near me and Gamestop's end won't spell their end.
Mom-and-pop game retailers aren't going out of business because people still buy physical video games. Their market didn't literally disappear. And Gamestop's end will spell the end for many of them too once digital distribution makes up the majority of game purchases.

Your timeline is fucked, Blockbuster was assuming a monopoly on the video industry before video streaming was even a commercial option, years ahead of it. And then Blockbuster started getting dropped when Netflix came into prominence in the early 2000's.

failed men were taking the brunt of the hatred from feminists because attractive and capable men still have value.

I don't actually disagree on this, I just hate when people leave out parts of the equation. Blacks would unironically do better in racially homogeneous communities, policed by their own kind and with businesses ran by black people. God has also done a lot for them, whether it's Islam or Christ.

I saw a young dude in a Gamestop a few weeks ago, obviously a new guy and getting trained up, I'm standing in line and someone in front of me is asking about Metal Gear Solid 5, so new guy starts looking through the computer, and I heard him say "Is that one... is that one called phantom..uh, phantom pa-" and the person was like "yeah it's called the Phantom Pain". And it just dawned on me that maybe some of them don't even know that much about video games, maybe they just really needed a job and took it because it was offered. Like, how don't you know MGS5?

So when are they going under? Will it be before or after Doom Eternal? I want my helmet.

My dude, I'm sorry, but physical rentals were going away regardless of whether or not Blockbuster had strangled out competitors. Physical game sales are not the same animal, people still value ownership and buying physical goods, but for rentals it doesn't matter. Physical rentals do nothing but offer inconvenience over renting/streaming digitally. The market would have disappeared in largely the same manner regardless, it wasn't a matter of how competitors behaved within the market the technology and market itself just changed.

Why shop at gamestop when you can buy from literally anywhere else? There's nothing appealing about gamestop in [current year] and hasnt been for a few years now especially with the amazon domination pretty much shits on them.

They're gonna be dead in a year or two.

The one that still makes me chuckle to myself is when they give you a 20 second spiel about putting a "warranty for your game disc that's only a dollar". Think about what they're doing. Switch is all cartridges, PS4 and Xbone are hardened blu-ray discs that are almost impossible to scratch. They are still operating on Wii and 360 game warranty systems. They haven't evolved. They are so desperate for that dollar, they are gambling on every customer, in the hopes that they get one clueless dude who doesn't know his game disc is virtually indestructible now.

There are chains besides Gamestop (I have a Disc Replay and a local comics store that also sells games near me) and of course you can order anything online.

Don't you have this idea that people who work at a Gamestop are really avid video game players? I know I do. We aren't talking about Namco Museum Mega-mix for the Wii he doesn't know about. MGS5 was the biggest, most anticipated game for 2015. If you are even peripherally aware of video games, you probably know at least the fucking title of the game, no?

I feel happy i got out of being a virgin and getting pussy it feels good.

Physical media has literally already died. You get a shelf placebo but that won't matter when the servers are offline to get the patches.

With the sixth generation and back, you have the entire game on the disc. You literally have the whole game.

I'm not saying you will lose your games, I'm saying the shelf aspect is pointless. You can already install patches on jailbroken PS3s. I have a PS2 loaded with 200 game isos on the internal hard drive. I'm not spending $100 for Echo Night Beyond or $300 for Rule of Rose or whatever, and you won't either in the future just to "really own your games". You will get the patched isos like everyone else.

There are other physical stores besides the shitstain that is Gamestop. Fuck off, bootlicker.

I'm surprised they didn't just sell you somebody's pre-order copy hoping one of them wouldn't come in for it until restocks, that's usual schisterstop policy in my experience.

Can you speak in layman's terms? I don't understand any of that business jargon you just said.

is that a tranny...?

>you probably know at least the fucking title of the game, no?

Obviously not, not everyone keeps up on it, there's 7 billion people on the planet, not all of them are going to know about MGS5.

If I get a job at Home Depot it doesn't mean I know anything about power tools or home improvement or that I'm informed about the hot new line of weed whackers that everyone's abuzz about, its just a job.

I'm black and blonde, tan bitches are always the thirstiest

I had some asshole manager transferred in to the Gamestop I used to shop in try to argue with some dude into buying a 'protection plan' for a game purchase for various reasons such as "if the game has glitches"
The new manager is a complete scumbag according to both his former employees and a friend of mine who happens to manage another location, so I'm not surprised he's badgering people into shit they don't need AND allegedly tacking protection plans onto transactions without the customer's consent.

You better hope physical media never dies completely, because if it does, then the only way to get a game will be digitally, so in theory they could keep the price of the game at $60 forever. Don't like it? Well fuck you, if you wanna play this game, pay what I'm asking for it. You don't have a choice. Go look up the price of Call of Duty BLOPS 2 on Steam, and the check the price for the PS3 version from Gamestop. Which price would you rather pay.

>They haven't evolved. They are so desperate for that dollar, they are gambling on every customer, in the hopes that they get one clueless dude who doesn't know his game disc is virtually indestructible now. You stagnate, you die.

To give them at least a little bit of credit, it's not the same plan they offered 6 years ago. They used to be sticklers about exactly what it covered - shit like cracks in the disc, burns, basically if it was any kind of damage that wasn't some kind of scratch they refused to replace it.

They changed the scope of coverage, basically so long as you have something to bring back to them that is obviously what they bought (and have the label or receipt), you're covered. Granted that it doesn't change the fact that you have to TRY to cause serious damage to the product to actually need to replace it, but on the other hand they'll replace stuff that doesn't even have visible damage - just get a fresh copy every year if you want.

Calm down reseller try dropping Rayearth a couple hundred.

Really? I didn't know how any of it worked. Interesting. So what is it, like a lifetime warranty now?

implying it wont get shipped back to corporate overnight and wholesaled to amazon or someshit without any of the employees even knowing

when gamestop closes the employees are going to come in fully expecting their job to be there and the doors will just be locked

>so in theory they could keep the price of the game at $60 forever. Don't like it? Well fuck you
>expecting game prices to stay at $60 even with digital distribution taking over

You do know that a greater degree of control over the market means inflation of prices, right? They can start saying "Fuck you, $100 is the price for a AAA game and if you don't like it you don't get it."

Not saying they'll jump right to that but you better believe publishers will start experimenting with price ranges to see what the new consumer base will find acceptable for something they think they still "own". Actually, they've already started covertly doing that with "deluxe" editions that are $70-80 instead. Won't be long before there's nothing deluxe about them.

The only way to get a game is ALREADY digital!! The day one patch!!

It's still 1 year like always, but practically speaking you can claim the product is defective and demand a replacement, basically anything except asking for a replacement with nothing to return to them in exchange is allowed.

Just don't be an asshole and abuse common sense, even corporate isn't going to take your side if they have a record of you replacing the same game for 4 years straight.

With how GameStop operates, I expect it will be exactly this. Or a Livestream of all the games being dumped into an incinerator and with the CEO pushes the button.

Customers aren't getting shit.

I wanna see fatty and shaggy double team the blonde.
Still interested in the above as long as it hasn't mutilated it's genitals.

honestly would be surprised if they did any kind of sale with how gamestop operates. Probably just store shit in a warehouse and never dip in price or just sell wholesale to amazon

>t. brainlet
The PS store drops prices if you’re willing to wait a few months. eShop is the only one that offers shit prices, and Nintendo sells far more physical than digital.

How would he know until he went there?

This. The last game I bought from GS was the Witcher 2. They asked me at checkout and I said no. Simple.

While I have no problem with trans in general (do w/e the fuck you want as long as it's not actively hurting anyone else is my life philosophy) faggots like this piss me off. That dude must be off his estrogen meds to lose his shit like that for something as inconsequential as someone addressing you that way.

Except we pump money into schools in DC like crazy and the grades still suck. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

>tfw local gamestop just closed down out of nowhere after 15 years
It's a bittersweet feeling since they're such a shitty corporation that's fucked over a lot of small businesses though I have good memories of visiting the place back in high school (felt like a totally different store in 2007-2010).

The thing that did them in for me was when they sent me my Smash Ultimate collector edition in a shittily packaged box and it was all dented up. Now I cant wait to see them go under. Let someone else lead the charge for physical media.

Shit, pay me and I'll make better lessons than any I got throughout K12, aside from a couple AP classes.

Is Disc Replay still doing good?
They're the only one of these vidya chains I kind of like.

Starting my first day at Gamestop tomorrow. Feels good to be a parttimefag so I don't have to worry if I get fired.

This implies repetition, that it isn't the first time he went in looking for a sealed copy and instead getting the gutted display case.

After the second time, why even go to that store anymore? Especially when the competition began to get pretty serious and beat out GameStop's deals. Best Buy's in particular was stupid good for the price.

Maybe I'm just spoiled because I live in a city where there are tons of other local options to buy stuff, and it's usually either cheaper or way more pleasant. Going to GameStop these days is just depressing.

To be fair, no president would. It's too easy of a scapegoat. Boomers left and right would roar at any president for that.
Cash for clunkers? Even the red state neck boomers love Obama now!

My condolences
you should apply to a costco or something if you're doing part time, you can get $15 an hour starting

Cars have very little margins compared to extended warranty, doesn't mean dealerships don't realise why you're her in the first place.

Or, there's caring about stuff you're spending money on. Japan has a social contract in place where you get more money the better condition your item is in. It's not a lot, but showing you actually care for the stuff you buy does have its rewards.

Here, it's all one flat rate, so it defeats having to keep a complete set, so it doesn't matter when you trade back something complete. It still costs the same as the scratched up disc Jamal traded in after stealing it from someone's binder.

kek

game stop actually throws away the actual cases, when the game was brought in it most likely had the legit case, the dumpsters behind the store always have game cases and manuals in them.

From experience shopping at similar stores that went out of business you aren’t getting very good deals. The good products are getting bought by insiders and other companies to resell before they end up on the store floor for us. Anything that is listed in the out of business sale is what the buyers didn’t want, so unless you want random ass old games good luck

The one where I used to live started branching out like crazy and started selling books. Other than that they seem to be doing alright.

You will all miss it when its gone

over in Japan if a game console works just fine but is missing a video cable or power cable it is sold as broken or spare parts, you get real cheap PS2s that way.

>The good products are getting bought by insiders and other companies to resell

Can confirm. Worked at a Blockbuster before the company began to shutter in 2013. My store closed, and when we got the word, we were told to pack up the games to ship them to other stores, as well as the newer movies. Everything else was fair game, so we employees took first dibs on what was left. After we had our shit hoarded, everything else went to the venture vultures that like to come in to pick clean the store.

I got a PS3 for $35 that way.

It's the "TRANS RIGHTS!" thing that pisses me off.
What basic human rights are they denied that the rest of us have? Why make a new flag when the entire purpose of the rainbow flag was to be inclusive of literally everyone?
Do some of them get assualted by shitbags because they can't pass? Maybe, and that sucks. I got my ass beat for living in a white male in a black ghetto. Shit happens. Hopefully we will all learn to get along eventually, but easier said than done.
Also, I still think they are mentally ill on the level of body identity integrity disorder. I don't think mutilating their dick is the answer, the same as amputating someone's arm as treatment for them wanting their arm amputated.

Not really after seeing what it's become the past 4 or 5 years, I mean it was already a shitty business but they went WAY downhill during this console gen.

No don't it's a complete waste, you're better off just selling your games on craigslist or ebay.

enjoy when amazon throws its hat in and becomes the official digital distributor

or you can sell it on eBay? Gamestop will literally give you pennies for your shit.

Theyre selling thinkgeek shit when they SHOULD be expanding to PC gaming and even streaming products since that shit is trending higher than ever. Pay more for qualified personnel who can run basic PC building/console repairs for full shifts and build the reputation back up as the one-stop shop for anything and everything videogame related.

Don't compete with best buy, rather compete with their geek squad

Nah, they are really shit and predatory. You feel no love for the medium from their venues and they are unironically worse for the games industry than any basic big box seller. Best buy does more for video games than Gamestop.

If I wasn't able to get free funbucks from them, I wouldn't shop there. As it stands, I'm OK with them. Pic related is one of three cards I have above 200.

Not after they got rid of there gamer club thing

They've already been the top one for the past decade slowpoke, I'm a physicalfag but I'll be damned if I'm going to support Gamestop.

I have a few near me and it’s exactly the same thing and the retro games they sell are normally 4 or 5 times the price of the game on amazon. There were two other local game stores near me but they both closed this last year.

>I used to work at Sears. We had our retarded rewards program
AHHHHHHHH, Did they push the "Its not a customer its a member" bs on you too?. I worked on just stocking around the store, cool co workers but the bullshit coming from corporate was amazing. Also, from what mattress department told me, the sales in mattresses are all bullshit. The sale price is the regular price except they change the color on the tops slightly so it qualifies as a different product to get around the fact that you cant have a sale forever.

jews gonna jew

>Fuckers kept trying to sell me "new" games that aren't sealed
is this something that only GameStops in low income areas do? My GameStop always keeps the games sealed.

how do you have so much in "free" gift cards? rewards program?

What a bitch

really makes ur noggin joggin

Shill post incoming but I like Disc Replay too. Mainly because of how easy it is to make purchases and returns, but something that really stuck me is how clean and high quality their game consoles are. Cleaned inside and out and in the case of the slim PS2 I bought a new laser assembly had been installed.

Maybe if they'd sell actual games and not faggoty "geek" memorabilia they'd probably start making money. They sell retro games online but won't sell them in store? Wtf? They even throw the cases away for used DS/3DS so they can make room for fucking Funko pop and pickle rick plush dolls. I've literally never seen anyone buy that in store, not even the faggots that frequent those shit holes would demean them selves with a purchase like that. What the fuck is gamestop even doing?
I miss funcoland.

I quit shopping in store when they started tearing the shrink wrap off, taking the game out of the box and still trying to sell it to me 'new'.
I still ordered a few collector's editions online here and there since they dont do it to those, but other than that, fuck that shithole and fuck jannies.

Their stupid policy of opening "new" games was especially ridiculous for DS/Wii/3DS/WiiU games since they would ALWAYS fucking "lose" the pack in pamphlets with club nintendo codes on them.

Also good value purchasing a a new game with scratches on it because they opened it to put the disc in a fucking slip case.

Buy low, sell high. Common merchant stuff.

good. i pre-ordered the 20th anniversary digivices like a month ago, heard no word from them, found out i would be able to pick the colors, so i just ordered them on Amazon instead.

walked into the store to cancel my "preorder" to find out they had them out on the shelves for days and we're nearly sold out. the two they held for me weren't even the fucking colors i wanted. he was so mad about the cancellation too. not my fucking fault you never called me you fucking faggot.

>Make their own lesson plans
You mean do work once every few years when the school buys new books? I actually remember having to do a career path project in high school and my english teacher telling us it was a myth that teachers didn't make any money, that she made over 90k a year. I definitely did not live in a rich city either

there was only one local game store besides GameStop near me and they are gone now, my only option once GameStop closes is Best Buy or Walmart and they don’t get a game stocked on shelf until about a month after it releases, it sucks.

It depends on the store, but if you want to buy a copy of a game, and it's the last one they have in stock, chances are it's their display unit. I do agree that a display title should have a small discount for the inconvenience (about 5-10% off)

hahaha the local mom and pop game store in my town was like that too, their prices were worse than eBay. They’re gone now.

You people disgust me in your disregard for actual gamers. This is the typical gamer from 00 to 2010. This is what you faggots constantly lament about being uprooted by the SJWs and libtards. You act like gamers used to be just a bunch of body builders with 200k a year jobs but it was never that. It was fedora wearing, game shirt wearing, neckbeard having, socially inept, either skinny or fat, unwashed people like this. You act like nintendo didn't exist before 2016 because all the bing bing wahoo and labo memes convinced you that nintendo was some new toy company, not a staple of gaming. this is what you wanted from gaming.

Well she was being loyal. Or I was beaten with an ugly stick and there was no way she’d fuck me

Gutted/opened games is the reason I stopped shopping there as well.

Several reasons
>doctors/psychologists who would rather get money prescribing hrt and surgery than deal with the mental issues these people have to feel so uncomfortable in their own bodies
>Oppression olympics. People on the left will act as the saviors/champions of any 'oppressed' group, and constantly push trans as being normal so they can look/feel good online
Though the biggest reason
>You cannot openly be against trans without risk coming to your career/reputation
The sentence "I believe a man is a man and a woman is a woman" will get the lefty hatemob to riot and try everything within their power to get you fired. That's why not many people actually speak up about trans is just a mental illness irl or on any internet forum with accounts that can be tied back to your real identity

It's worth noting that their "gutted" new games aren't new at all. Not only have they been opened and stuffed in a paper sleeve for the box to go on the shelf, those are the copies that employees take home to play

Sports games are the once place dlc would make good sense, but you still buy a new game every year.

aww yes
I would totally love to buy me some games with stickers everywhere and nutshack box art

One time I had this young Korean girl employee come over to the game rack where I was browsing, and she just posted up and started talking to me, and wouldn't stop. I thought she was just being a friendly employee at first, then I realized she was talking about a Sony 3D tv they had in the back, then talking about their rewards program, I mean this shit went on for over 5 minutes straight. I couldn't even concentrate on the games. I have been in there when it has been criminally insane the shit they try to sell you. You'd think they were selling BMW's or Cadillacs. She was just a kid too.

Yes, you're so oppressed, these evil trannies are all out to get you, you poor, poor thing

In my experience going out of business sales are almost always shitty. They just use the fact that they are going out of business to draw in last minute customers who are expecting a deal, and most likely buy something since they made the trip
>grocery store went under had a going out of business sale because they were retards and charging almost double the prices of other nearby stores and went under
>Booze was 10-20% off
>Still more expensive than if you just went to another store down the road

>hardware store had going out of business sale
>none of the big things were on a decent sale at all, only shit like nails/bolts got big discounts

>blockbuster near me had a going out of business sale
>games were still around $30-50 if they were relatively new
>movies were $10
There was also a poster store at the mall that claimed to be going out of business and having a massive sale, but a year later I saw that they were still there, and still having the 'going out of business' sale

See that's the thing, new versions of those games basically ARE dlc, but it is actually more profitable to sell the entire package plus the new models or whatever all over again and call it a new game.
People who buy those games ARE actually THAT retarded.

Illinois here, even our upscale areas gut the copies and stick them in paper cases. It's standard practice to gut display copies which is why you should never buy new at Gamestop.

I hope you're just trying to troll him, because nothing you said has anything to do with what he said.

Dilate.

I actively avoid it as well, I honestly believe they wouldn't be in as shitty a spot as they are if they weren't so fucking keen on making the process of shopping there as annoying as possible.

There is a gamestop a 5 minute walk from my house, and I would still rather go to the target or even the fucking walmart to buy physical games, both of which are much farther away.

They really have only themselves to blame, honestly.

wait, you're telling me to dilate? Hmm...

Attached: 1512772808671.jpg (540x527, 28K)

consoles make fuck all and you'll be lucky if people buy two launch titles on release. considering the state of backwards compatibility some people might not buy any games and just play their last gen games until something good comes out.

I'm someone who likes physical games and hates in when amazon delays my delivery, or even just delivers it on time but late in the day.

I would love it if there was a store I could walk into on release day and buy a game without having to hunt down some walmart employee to open the glass for me.

A store where I could do that without being harassed for a warranty, pre-orders on other games, rewards cards, magazine subscriptions, or anything else like that.

All gamestop has to do is be that store. People can blame their failing on digital games, but even for purely physical games they can't do it right.

Preaching to the choir, but I appreciate you expounding on my post.

You think that's what it was? I think I might've been like the only person in the store, so I always imagined her manager like elbowing her and nodding his head in my direction. Like "store's empty. Go work on that guy over there."

The ones who aren't independently wealthy work summer teaching jobs. What kind of smooth brain have you been cursed with that you think because SCHOOL'S OUT that they suddenly don't need to pay bills? Have you ever been around a group of kids as an adult? They're pretty insufferable. Now imagine you're responsible for them when they're locked in some shit classroom doing work they hate.

You sound like you're in high school.

According to you Amerimutts wall women are because your only contact with women are your BLACKED videos.

Yes, millennials are not doing anything at all, right?

>wall women

you just outed yourself you serial killer psychopath.

The manager was probably doing so as well. But Asians encourage that "salaryman" mindset which would make her try her hardest even if she doesn't even get commission.
Again, I actually kind of respect that. I wish my dad had lit a bigger, more redneck style fire under my ass. I'd probably be more productive.
Except chinks. They'll cut every corner they can.

Have sex after dilating.

they definitely arent allowed to do it but can get away with it easily if they are friends with the manager who is also doing that.
my brother was a manager at GameStop for years and basically cleaned the place out every month.

>used gamea at gamestop

No, they really didn't

It's the Best Buy thing. Best Buy stays in business where Circuit City crashed and burned due to heavily shilling a shitty warranty and suckers buying it. The Circuit City warranty was actually pretty decent, which is why all the executives fled to Car Max to shill a Best Buy shitty warranty on used cars and make tons of money off idiots. Gamestop tried to do the same thing, but no one in their right mind is gonna join a "gamers' club" or whatever the fuck it was. I haven't stepped foot in a Gamestop since the n3DS released.

buy high sell low, right? Never change, /biz/

I'm not sure if they still do it, but they used to sell the codes separately too

One of life's greatest pleasures is bumping into your old retail manager and the cunt is still working retail or some shit job and you've moved on to bigger andd better things.

Best Buy has been shit about customer service for almost 20 years, to my knowledge.
On a similar note, Sony has sold some fucking garbage and gotten away with it (here's a stereo boombox, oh wait, it's fucking mono but dumb murrican niggers won't know) alongside their constant format war bullshit, which they finally won.
If sony perished, I honestly wouldn't care, as much as I loved the ps2.

MY AD REVENUEEEEEEEEE

There is a Gamestop near my place that actually keeps new copies in a locked shelf still wrapped in original plastic wrap. That is the best Gamestop I ever did business with.

I predicted Gamestop would implode with digital distribution having grown and currently is my number one method of buying games. Plus, other stores have the same products for about the same price unless there is a big sale.

I got a free copy of BF3, some WoW expansions, and some other assorted crap. I bet most of those games ended up being destroyed anyway, since barely anyone bought PC games even back when I was working for them.

This, mom'n'pop shops are a fucking meme. They price match with the most expensive listing on Amazon and Ebay.

I used to work there as a seasonal employee, they force you to uptalk the fucking people and worse they want you to walk around the shop asking and harassing people into buying shit. This autistic mestizo I used to work with would literally harass and ramble about his games to everyone, even regular ass rocker dads who were obviously just buying a game for their son. Such a shitty corporation

I have $100+ in gift cards lying around but I really don't want to drive down there and use them

>becoming tranny just to go after lesbians
Not an isolated case sadly. There's this one autistic fuckup I knew a decade ago that went this route after a pussy free college life. Luckily being a tranny was frowned upon here, as was being an autistic fuckup, so a lot of people were eager to tell him he's a mentally ill faggot.

Essentially an oxymoron. You have to really suck at being able to close the deal for this to happen. They literally put you in COED DORMS. LIKE ANIME! GET DRUNK WITH HERE! (Or is that rape now?)
If you fuck it up at that point, it's becoming increasingly hopeless.

Honestly, it won't be as good as when radio shack died. It was probably more profitable to sell iphone cases and cat-5 cable at 90% off than it was to wholesale it. Video games, especially games that held their value like Nintendo first-parties, not so much. Expect to there to be plenty of fucking plushies, broken third-party controllers, and Zelda puzzles, though.

Is your car nice? Hope might yet not be dead.

You know, someone's going to buy all those Gamestop credit card debts for pennies on the dollar and then fucking call your house at 3AM every night for months looking for that money.

>don't answer
Wa la. But yeah, his credit is fucked.

Based Gamestop trying to prevent you from wasting your money

I don't even shop at EB games, and they don't try to upsell you. Brick and mortar stores are just unpleasant experiences and I doubt they're going to last much longer.

In regards to everything, not just games. I honestly think in 10 years even grocery stores are going to be dying out as people just order their shit online. Shits going the way of assisted gasoline pumps or serviced checkouts.

A co worker of mine told me he got the Gamestop credit card. I told him he was a retard. A week later he was giving somebody some shitty lecture about "bad decisions", he was being really condescending, I said "I don't think mr Gamestop credit card is in the position to give anybody advice on life choices". You should have seen him ree. Beautiful. Smash that bell.

This happened for Awakening, went to Gamestop, got that line, went to Target, instant pristine copy

There are still many stores where you can buy physical that are better than fucking gamestop.

Suprised brick and mortar game stores even still exist. Why are people pre-ordering physical copies of games when nearly everything can be downloaded? The only reason I can think of is tech-ignorant parents buying presents for their kids or pre-order/collector's editon physical bonus stuff, but if you're buying that shit in 2019 you're probably too young to be posting here anyway so what does your opinion even matter anway?

Realistically speaking, what would happen if gamestop actually gets shut down and people have already paid some preorder games at them? Are they still tied to get those games to people or are they tied to return the money back at people?

"Trans" is the new forced counter-culture. 98% of these "muh pronouns, muh gender" people are just doing it to get a rise out of people and artificially create discourse because having shouting matches with people is the only meaningful human interaction these garbage humans can get. The other 2% is either very low confidence or mentally ill.

usually if you ask they'll give you a sealed one, only time i had trouble with them is when it was the only "new" copy left

Maybe because they wanted to keep their shitty job?
Either way, its dumb business practice and one of the reasons why they won't be around for much longer.

>Paying money for DRM
Have fun with being locked out of your games when the license expires.

Everyone loses their money.

Yeah this. Look at her fedora son, that's pure mutt.

This will literally never happen. About as likely as a company sending a gestapo-esq squad to your house to confiscate your disc.

That’s a tranny? Looks more like a frat boy who lost a bet. I could feel the testosterone overflowing from that video.

I was a district manager and getting constant orders to push for more sales on funko pop and merch as opposed to games, as well as a large removal of games to put in MORE fucking merch was an actual trackable metric for how hard the stores I ran failed. Thank god I was mostly immune from the blowback because it's happening nationwide but I wish I could have told everyone to fuck off because I know a store run by a private franchisee that's still doing fantastic, he totally dodged all the merch and just does games, pretty much my entire customerbase went there.

You won't get any.
What's going to happen, much like with toys r us is:
>Anything valuable is shipped back to the warehouse for your area
>It's then put up for sale online, because gamestop's online store can run with a team of under 15 people
>the shit left in store is 850 copies of madden '11 and hannah montannah for wii that they still have marked up because of the cfw thing.

Their warehouses are basically as poorly managed as their loose games drawer.

Unless they want a class action civil suite, which is a whole 'nother can of worms.

So how likely it is that GS actually gets shut down? And how quickly would that happen? Havent their stocks gone downhill for pretty long time already? I don't understand how these things work, but if their stokcs just keeps dropping they cant honestly hang around much longer right`?

his dog died in pearl harbor, hes getting revenge

nintendo did this to someone with an early copy of a pokemon game. take two will also send gestapo if you make a mod they don't like, but i don't believe they've confiscated games.

This is what happens when your business model is based on upselling customers on shit they don't want and trying to pressure them. They stop coming to your store because they don't want to be harassed

I can't wait until they go under, that will be the only time you'll ever get deals at GameStop.

Didn't have any money when Blockbuster went out of business, I'm stocking up for the used game feeding frenzy when GS finally closes

Good point. They could have made a pretty penny selling pre-builts, repairing PCs, or even offering consultation on custom builds and selling parts. But that would conflict with their business model of paying their staff absolutely fucking nothing.

>bailing out a videogame retailer is not equivalent to baling out the entire banking system that you told you you were going to insure all their loans anyway.

its the exact opposite, physical copies get more expensive and digital just get cheaper and cheaper.

You would have a window between the announced shutdown and closing to get your money back. After that you lose it.
There be no lawsuit look at boarders and TRU lawsuits over gift cards. Both cases the customers lost to the companies.

Bud you are just dumb in general if at fucking 23 and you drown yourself in debt

This was what we were taught to do when I worked as a Christmas Casual for a big retail business back in 2017. I honestly don't know why people thinks this legitimately works, as most of the time when I did this (had to do it when the store or regional manager was in-store), people would get really shitty with you. Meanwhile, in the part-time position I had from early 2018 to end-of-March this year, I found it was much better to just give people space. Give potential customers a 'hello' or something after they've sepnt a minute in-store to let them know a member of staff was present and available, but outside of that just leave them to their own devices. I found I was making way more sales that way than constantly pestering them.

To spilt hairs it’s a supply demand thing, for awhile new AAA PC games were 12% cheaper than console but then the PC boom of 2014 turn that on its head and now they are just as pricey. Same thing here, demand and people’s stupidity will effect outcomes of cost.

>gaijin

Hmm, let's compare the experience of buying a video game from GameStop vs Best Buy.

GameStop:
>walk in, store smells, it's humid
>unorganized merchandise everywhere
>t-shirts about unfunny gamer culture crap
>walls covered in Funko Pop garbage
>mystery box toys everywhere
>what the fuck even is this place anymore.jpg
>you get asked a trillion questions upon checking out (warranty, rewards card, credit card, pre-order, strategy guide)
>ffs

Best Buy:
>enter nice, air-conditioned store with cool ass tech
>get to wander around a little bit if you wish
>game section surprisingly organized and neat
>go to checkout, worker scans item, you pay, have a good day
>Best buy also offers free store pickup, too

your honest living is basically self torture. i can think of a lot of other menial jobs that pay better with better benefits and don't have as much stress and hassle as working at gamestop or fast food

this is the correct answer.
blacks that made it out of the ghettos are able to function well in the civilized world
never give people a crutch when both their legs work

The only reason I even go to it is because Nintendo won't stop giving them Pokemon event cards, and because they stock Totaku from time to time. Actually buying games at Gamestop is the worst experience imaginable.

>Can someone remind me as to why is this being pushed as normal again?

They need to start putting retro games in stores. That Spawnwave fucker is right, I have no reason to go to a GameStop, I basically know exactly what will be there. If they had retro games it's untelling what would be there, and I would have a reason to go, maybe even to multiple GameStops a day.

I doubt he got in much trouble for it, but it's still funny

the only good ones left are smallish franchises that carry literally everything from every gen of console, dvd/vhs media, and do repairs. most game stop stores that have space are converted to half games and half merchandise which there can not be that much demand for.

It would be cool to see a resurgence of mom and pop stores. I have shopped at gamestop maybe 3 times in the last 3 years and i buy pretty frequently

I don't know about you user but anytime I've been to Best Buy in the last 3-5 years I'm annoyingly harassed by employees every 2 minutes asking if I need help with anything. Gamestop employees legit don't care where I'm from.

>no floor people, their cashiers more than make up for it by being doubly obnoxious and thensome
I still shop at BestBuy when I have to buy console games. It's simple enough to just skip the floor and go ask for the game at the cashier since they keep the news ones locked up up there anyways. Skip all the bullshit and get straight to my items-per-minute regulated, no-loyalty-program-speech-having qt azn spinner cashier.

I guess it's YMMV but the Gamestop folks around me give two shits less. I've gone with friends a few times who want to pick things up and it's generally pretty laid back. I definitely have a prejudice againt GameStop, they illegally terminated me on my birthday after working there for 6 years, so if I can say something nice it speaks volumes.

>>no more browsing the isles of video rental stores and blindly picking what looks cool just from the images on the back of the box

I didn't know what the hell Freedom Fighters was, all that it looked cool. So when I got my folks to rent it for me in 2004, it blew my mind. Now when I go to the Red Box to rent games, I already know all the games and what they're about and such thanks to the internet.
