I hate them for their shady business tactics and how they treat their employees. Again, maybe Pat's GameStop is a good store... it seems totally unlike any GameStop I've ever been in. I almost wonder if it's a privately owned GameStop?
Again, no offense Pat... your store seems cool. But I was jerked around TO much by that stinking company. Whatever bad press they get, they deserve.
Ah yes, back when EB straight up went by Electronics Boutique... no stupid abbreviations. Yup, they were great, I miss that kind of store.
Was it an extra 5 dollars? Or was it a down payment?
Also I was the only one in the store. It was like 11 in the morning. You're telling me they didn't buy any non pre-order copies?
Maybe there was a midnight release? PC games dont generally sell as well anymore so I wouldnt be surprised if they simply didnt have alot shipped to them. I dont know what the inventory was at your store or how they were supplied but trust me, they are in the business of making money. They WANT your money. If they could sell it to you, they would.Was it an extra 5 dollars? Or was it a down payment?

Im not defending GS as a company, out of the major retail chains iv worked for, they treat their employees the worst. But the shopping experience there isn't much different than any where else. Best Buy can be just as bad, as can Target. Iv had just as many poor experiences there as i have at GS.
I'm not sure but I don't think so. Just seems like a bad policy when you're located right next to Wal Mart.
Is the pre-order only strategy profitable with all the walk outs they get? I can't see it being a good thing.

What bad policy? To not sell you a game they don't have?Im assuming they didn't sell you a copy of the game because all they had were preorder copies and you aren't supposed to sell someones preorder copy before the 48 hours hold.
Yes. GameStop Corp is Darth Sidious, disgustingly evil and power hungry..but a genius at the same time...
No. Not to purchase copies for retail.
My stupid manager would hold a preorder for a friggin' week... but if she got the chance to sell one of ours before we came to pick it up she would.
Man I can't stand that thing.
Never cared for gamestop, one time my wife needed a Wii gamefor her sister for a birthday gift so we found one there, the new mario game at the time. Well they go to hand her a copy and shocker it was open and the manual inside looked like a dog got a hold of it and bent it in the process. The associate tried to pass it off as new and tried to charge her $50 for it. I demanded to speak to a manager and he told me they can open games to use the case for display purposes if they only have one copy. I said then fine sell it new to me used for $20 and they said no its new so I said goodbye. Shady tactics like this eventually lead to the out of business line and I will be there the day them and blockbuster close up shop. Blockbuster is even worse selling used blurays for $16 when there brand new on amazon for $10.
