    Re: Whats your "crazy EB Games\Gamestop experience"?

    I worked in a push sales environment and it sucks. Granted my push sales was Rental Insurance for rental cars. Man, everyone knows they don't want that crap but I gotta convince people to pay for something they don't want?

    Guh. I get it for those Gamestop guys. Some of them are cool about it. They'll say it once because they have to and then they'll move on. A lot of them will say, "Hey, I understand why you don't want to preorder." The ones that push like crazy just get a laugh from me.

    Luckily I'm not in Gamestop enough to really flip.
    "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

        Mine was this week. It was complete wack and makes me want to NEVER deal with EB/Gamestop again.

        Monday - I called EB/Gamestop, Circuit city, Best buy, Wal-mart, Target. All said the truck never showed up and must have lost the shipment to call back the next day.

        Tuesday - I called EB/Game stop - How conversation went

        EB - Thanks for calling EB this is james
        Me - Hey man did you all get COD4 in yet?
        EB - Yea man, did you pre-order it?
        Me - No
        EB - Ok after 2pm we can start selling regular copies.
        Me - All good man, I don't get off till 5 anyway. See you then
        EB - Alright, thanks

        Tuesday - 6:00pm - I walk into EB(which is a block away from my house) and walk to the back where the PC copies are. But could not find any, so I walked to the counter and told the guy. "Hey man I need a copy of COD4 for PC". This is the same guy I talked to couple hours before. He then tells me that they have ZERO copies. That they have not arrived yet.

        I was pissed and said, "I pre-ordered it". He then turns and walks to the back and grabs me a copy. I then told him "Naw man keep it I am going to best buy."

        So I then drove to best buy and bought a copy with out any of the BS. Plus I got to flirt with a pretty hot cashier. So it was a win win.

        EB has really gone down the drain the last couple of years. I used to love EB until gamestop bought them out. Now it is the same piece of crap as gamestop has always been.

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)
