I pre-ordered Aliens CM and the dude at the store told me the game sucks and gave my money back
Turns out he just wanted the power loader that came in the box and I had reserved the last one

I got a ps4 for christmas and it came with the new star wars battlefront. I took it to gamestop in plastic wrap to sell it and the dude busted my balls for it

I actually made a pre-order once. It was for Ace Combat 7.
I don't regret it.

Only instance I had was when I walked in to pick up a copy of MH3U back in 2013. Clerk asked if I had pre-ordered, I said no, then he asked for my number. I told him I didn't have a phone and he stared at me in silence for a bit before ringing up the game.
Haven't bought anything from Gamestop since.
>It took me 17 minutes to sell a brand new battlefront copy at it's release for $15
Bullshit. I sold mine brand new for $35

>want to play galaxy again a few weeks ago >have to break out wii stuff packed away from moving

But do you have a power up rewards card?
This one happened last month, I picked up judgement/judge eyes and mario maker 2 and when the cashier was getting me the judgement copy he practically yelled at me for not pre-ordering it because it was their last copy at the time.
Would you like to preorder any of the hottest upcoming titles?
>used to go to Gamestop all the time in high school
>always had cool older games and hidden gems on the shelf
>go there now
>either the hottest new releases at full price, used for 3 dollars off, or straight up bargain bin garbage
>newest consoles only, no retro anything
>80% of the store is Pop figures and shitty gamer merch plus a haphazard rack of Magic and Pokémon cards
I’m ready for it to go full Blockbuster and just disappear. It’s like watching a corpse rot. Haven’t been to a Gamestop in over a year or more because there are a few cool stores around me that carry vintage games and movies plus new shit so I just shop there
Been a while since I went to Gamestop but here's y last experience:
>at mall with gf, see Gamestop
>decide to grab a random co-op game for later
>see that Dragon's Crown released, gf wants to try it
>lanky, patchy beard problem glasses guy is ringing us up
>looks at my gf and scoffs "yeah this game has some very questionable character designs. Did you see the sorceress? Real women do not look like that."
>gf just responds with "I think she's hot."
>cashier is taken aback, like he expected my gf to agree with him
>starts stuttering and turning red
>starts giving her a bunch of free pokemon download code cards for some shit, gives her like 20 codes
>we don't even play pokemon
>finish paying and leave
FUCKING GAMESTOP
I placed a pick up for a game under a offensive name (can’t remember the name but the game was Dead Space) and when I got there and picked up the game they used my real name...
