Cause they took over EB Games and act like they're all that and never have what you want or have it in a different color

THEY. NEVAR. HAVE. ANYTHING.


Plus, they pulled a "We're displaying the box, but WE DON'T HAVE IT" with a USED X-BOX. So much for me getting Halo... (Btw, we can't get a 360... not enough money... but I'm seriously considering it; well, I WOULD, but my stupid little brother wastes ALL of his money on LEGOS... and I'm NOT letting him freeload ANOTHER console...)

Anyways...

Funcoland? I like it, a local mall has one. Coincidentally, that's the same mall with the gamestop that we ALMOST got an X-Box at...

Funcoland didn't have one either, but they didn't LIE about it...  >:(

GameStop has a reputation for bad employees.  I have never witnessed this, and I'm lucky.

I've never had issue with them.  If anything I've seen worse customer service when EB was still on its own.

My local gamestop is really good with customers. They never lie, and are just cool. Mabye its just the employees. I remember one time I was looking for SCIII and this guy said they didnt have it, but he was new. 3 days later, I go back and this guy I know who works there says they've had a used copy of it for about a week. It still works btw.

Gamestop refused to let me sell games to them... But only because they said to come back with my gamestop card so that I would get 30% more money.

So I have no idea. I love my gamestop.

gamestop and EB Games both are ok. But the employees are, most of the time, people who dont know poop about games. I also hate it when everytime I buy something, they pester me to preorder a game for them.

Anyone remember Babbage's?

Another place eaten up by Gamestop.

I used to go there and laugh at the people buying N-Gages. :D

Well, they were around until like late 2004 at least, because they sold the N-Gage.

(I also stupidly sold my NES there. :( )
