What do you save on bundles? How do they benifit the customer?
Pretty much saw this exact same set up at mine today. But on top of that, was greeted by an overly anxious employee who insisted on telling every person who came in the store that they have Xbox Ones in stock and most of the games are discounted (by $10...) On top of that, the employees inside made sure I was aware of its availability, even though I had to tell 3 of them that I already owned one.

Is this for real?
Just think of how many Xbones are sitting there. Right now.
They have both sold over 2 million.Considering one of the highest selling seasons of the year just finished, yeah, I'd consider remaining stock of 'high demand' items to be overstock.

that shitty little cheap fuckin sign leads me to believe that is a case of a store manager who happens to be a microsoft fanboy and is trying to take matters into his own hands. I can't imagine corporate sanctioned something that shitty.
2 plungers, somebody likes to be prepared for anything.
Store wants to sell new product. Must be agenda.

Having stock now is bad and is considered "overstocked" and "not selling" now, reading some of these posts.
Gamestop is pushing new hardware they want to sell, don't see what's so surprising.

Now, would you rather have your console never be in stock except once ever week (if that), or always be available on demand?
This is exactly what Microsoft wanted. They want their system to be ready in any stores for people who didn't pre-order. You don't know their stock numbers, you don't know their sales number, aside from both selling millions and being the fastest selling systems we've seen so far. To take a guess saying it's overstocked, not selling, etc is very pessimistic.
Well Gamestop pays MS, that's how retail works.Wouldn't be surprised at all if they're being paid by MS.
Don't see that as necessarily a bad thing though. Same as any other advertisement.
I worked for GameStop for two fucking years. Yes, consoles are stored in the bathroom. Yes, they are in close proximity to the toilet. Yes, I'm sure piss and ass particles probably found themselves on merchandise you bought. GameStop is aware of this and no, they do not care. This only happens in stores with limited or no back room. My store was like that. Saganator's post is tame. I've seen muuuuuuch worse with my own two eyes.
Hell, we had DS Lites fall in our toilet a few times, lol
You're just wasting your energy. Just wait until the December NPDs come out and the xbone sells more then there will be lots of crow eaten.
whats worse is the used roll is lying there in the filth it absorbed....thats fucking nasty.
Makes me really tempted to go best buy with that 20% off the next 2 years
The toilet picture and past/current GS employee testimonials in this thread makes me happy that I have not bought anything from GS in a decade.
My manager would take huge dumps, turn off the fan, turn on the heat and close the door. He'd leave that bitch on for hours in hopes one of us was foolish enough to enter. Yeah...meanwhile consoles baked in residual shit particles in high temperatures for quite a while from time to time.
I ain't kidding. This happened onm a regular basis. None of this is bullshit
The hand-made sign is really bizarre.
Is this for real?
Those balance boards could be put to good use....
Wii Squat.
WHAT.THE.FUCK.
Im sorry, but that shit made me laugh so hard!
Did you ever ask him why he did it? Was it just to be a giant dick?
My manager would take huge dumps, turn off the fan, crank up the heat and close the door. He'd leave that bitch on for hours in hopes one of us was foolish enough to enter. Yeah...meanwhile consoles baked in residual shit particles in high temperatures for quite a while.

Because Microsoft has overloaded every store with units. And demand is not as high as expected.
Wait, you're telling me a company wants to sell one of their high ticket items? Get the fuck out.
He's actually a really nice guy. He likes to pull pranks and fuck with people. Still friends with him even though I don't work there anymore.
It was funny and horrible. Our back room stunk of shit from our bathroom and rotten food from the Subway next door. Customers had no idea.
Probably want to move stock. I went to Best Buy today and they had a huge pallet of XB1 systems in the middle of the aisle looking lonely.
Promotion a negative thing?That's exactly what I was getting at. I don't see how some people can see constant advertising and promotion of a product as a negative thing. Is it unfathomable that perhaps the console is selling and that maybe Microsoft is just pushing out systems faster than Sony? That's not to say that the demand is the same, because while I've found a few PS4s, they always sell out and the demand is high.
The Best Buy in my city has had an XBox rep there every weekend all day demoing the XB1 and talking it up to customers. The Best Buy Assoc. said he tells customers the XB1 has the same power as PS4.
