Bought PS3 game today. Gamestop rep says,

"Man you need to get a PS4 so you can play all the new games!"

I wanted to ask him if he realized his fricking company sold Super Nintendo games on their website.

Why are their employees always such douches?

A guy trying to sell you shite at a shop set you off? I'm not the biggest fan of Gamestop but that's pretty common.

I don't think I've ever had a positive experience in that store.

I walk into a video game store to buy a video game. They work for a company that sells Sega Genesis games all the way through to current gen. Why automatically assume I don't own a PS4 just because I bought a PS3 game? If I bought a Gameboy Color game, would they try to sell me a 3DS?

Does he not realize that especially these days, people play video games irrespective of the date they were released?

Even so, how is telling me I can play "new games" on the "new system" selling me anything? No shite the new games are released on the newest consoles.

I need to buy more games off Amazon Prime, but I feel guilty every time I ship a package to my office.

I wouldn't go that far, but I have encountered some incredible douches though.

What the hell are you guys doing?

I have never had a single poor experience at a Gamestop.

This is the lamest Gamestop hate thread I have ever seen.

GameStop I used to go to had a guy that tried to convince me to trade in my Xbox One for a PS4 almost every time I went in. I eventually just asked him "Why would I downgrade to a system with worse graphics?"

I thought he was going to have a stroke.

This was thing I hated most about gamestop

If I ever go to a store to buy anything related to games I just go to bestbuy.

Was the employee supposed to read your mind and find out you have other consoles

You seem to be releasing some personal frustrations on this GS employee. Happens to all of us at some point.

For a while I hated on gamestop. It bothers me when companies try to force old models rather than adapt.

Every game i have is digital and it is awesome. I have no clue why someone would want a physical disc. Gamestop stance made me look forward to the day they go out of business so i could laugh.

I softened though when they gave me a free copy of a game (that i gave away because it was a disc) and a controller for getting the elite bundle. Still it would have probably come out about the same had i ordered off amazon, no tax and all

I don't get the whole preordering thing when the day it is released you can walk in to any store that sells video games and get a copy.

I don't know if that's always true. Both local Gamestops only received enough copies of Dragonball Xenoverse to cover pre-orders and nothing more. Got lucky with 1 out of 3 Wal Mart stores having it in stock. The other two hadn't even put it on display yet.

My Gamestop also seems to hate the Wii U. I never see new Wii U titles for sale or behind the counter like you see PS4 and Xbox One.

That's because they don't sell as much, less consumers less stock.

So you might want to pre-order unless you're picking up something like CoD or Assassin's Creed.
