Gamestop, SMH

[blues rocker]

makes me wonder if EA pays gamestop and tells them to have their employees bad mouth 2k to make EA look good. the whole thing sounds fishy...why would a bunch of random Gamestop employees just badmouth 2k for no reason?

most people working at Gamestop are complete tools. they are the scum of the earth.

I just left my local gamestop and the guy had nothing good to say about elite lol I guess not all are that bad, heck when I was staying in Phoenix last year the guys would look at you as if you was crazy if you wanted to buy NBA Live over 2K and I'm talking about the employees that worked there not customers lol

Tell us how you really feel. They aren't as well versed about games as they should be, but that's not new. Saying they're paid off is laughable, though.

I have a bad feeling that EA is really going to take some action. But it's not like I wasn't expecting it. We'll see...

I had the opposite. The guy was laughing about Elite and talking to me about how crazy it was elite delayed there game so close to launch.

On another note. i hate how pushy gamestop employees are.

Somebody needs to report Gamestop for this, for the past 3-4 years, ive heard people say that gamestop employees are telling people that this is the last year for 2K basketball, and how EA sports is buying them out. Those gamestop droids get on my nerves, I remember one year me and a friend of mines went to go pick NBA2K8 or NBA2K9 and the gamestop employee said to use that, we should've bought NBA Live and how its much better than 2Kbasketball. Without hesitation my friend looked back at the employee as we started walking out the store and told the employee to shut the **** up and gone with that BS, and kept walking. I about died laughing when he did that. My friend is very passionate about 2K basketball.... anyway these gamestop employees are corny.

This is kinda sad...I get wanting to bump pre-orders and purchases but flat out lying is wrong.

Anyway, I'm kinda in with some of the Gamestop guys where I go, not "hook me up with an early copy" tight, but they know me as a long-time customer and we usually chat for a bit when I'm in there. One time, the guy was trying to get me to roll my NCAA pre-order over to Madden. He wasn't real pushy and it didn't surprise him that I said no but he told me that he had to ask because he would get some bonus or prize if he had the most "rollovers" in the store. Heck, that honesty alone made me change my mind (I was pretty sure I was getting Madden anyway) but he had already finished ringing me up.
