Kagari said:I don't care if people hate on the company. Truth be told, some of the policies are really stupid (not to mention some of the employees). I'm actually third-key manager at the one I work at now and generally have good enough input that people aren't as mis-informed as some of the employees of other stores in the company.
Pai Pai Master said:There are some really great stores out there with well-informed and skilled employees. I think hating Gamestop is just "the cool thing to do" because there are some shitty stores out there, but it's like that with every retail company.
And that sucks about the midnight launch...hopefully that's just 'cuz Mariokart's only a month away. If MGS4 doesn't get a midnight launch it's going to be a damn shame.

GAZERK said:All the experiences I've had with Gamestop stores have been absolutely horrible.
Linkzg said:I have the normal one preordered, I guess ill go tomorrow or when I go to pick up NGDS, FF7CC, and Dark Sector. Also, I am a little confused at the Gamestop hate, the one I go to is really good and the workers are really nice and know things about games. Like, sometimes I want to preorder something that was just announced yesterday and they know what im talking about, but it isnt in the system yet...also, I never actually would except them to preorder a game when it was just announced, that is be exaggerating things.
GAZERK said:That's laughable. All the experiences I've had with Gamestop stores have been absolutely horrible. From preordering a 360 six months before release and then getting it 2 months after release to awful trading policy and many instances of retarded employees. The only think I can't complain about is GS's website. It's organized and sometimes offers some good deals.
Anyways, I'd love to see a good GS store run by a competent person, but I've yet to see one. Give me a GS store run by personalities like Kagari, Mangod, Garnett, or Fragile Eagle where I live and I'd totally go. Until then, I'm taking my business elsewhere, and with good reason.

Pai Pai Master said:This isn't about the preorder bonus, this is about the actual limited edition version of the game.
Ninja Kn1ght said:I doubt it'll be out on April 1st but the pre-order bonus DVD, Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2 will be available in April. The LE comes with another bonus disc.
Dot50Cal said:Yes I know, but I seen some other people commenting on it. Anyway, whats the general consensus? Should I preorder the game now, and keep bugging them with phone calls if they get the DVD in, or preorder when I know its there?
Kagari said:Do it now so you can be guaranteed a DVD. As mentioned before, the first I heard of us getting in said DVDs, GAF will know
f_elz said:cant wait to preorder this.
Dot50Cal said:Thanks dude. Heading out tomorrow. Any idea how many stores are getting in so I dont get hosed? Will it be on a first come first serve basis again?
Not play? :lol
Deadly Monk said:Our reserve numbers for this game are so low. I highly doubt we'll do a midnight opening for this even though it's one of Sony's biggest games.
I can send Beta keys to anyone as soon as we get them if you don't feel like reserving. I'm sure our store will get plenty.
Working tomorrow is going to be so nice though. No one is going to show up and the person im working with is going to bring dinner.

Cynar said:Hope your district rep finds out eventually
seriously, that's not very nice. I mean, its one thing if you guys get box-loads that don't disappear for a month, but its another thing if you're taking so much that the customers don't get any D:Cynar said:Hope your district rep finds out eventually
neojubei said:Better hope your customer isnt a member of a forum like GAF with speed dial to the corporate office of EB.

I've come across my share of gamestop managers that don't know about GAF, so I'm not surprised to hear coworkers that never heard of GAF.Deadly Monk said:I've met one person who's ever heard of Gaf at work. My co-workers still don't believe me when I tell them I get the latest news from here. They just sigh at me. : (
Adamrogo said:Oh you don't even want to know, her incompetence is mindboggling.
Don't worry, only the really cool bonuses are snatched up by staff, the Pokemon DS cases went to the kids!
