i just got the call from gamestop about Crysis: Warhead. not sure if i'm gonna keep the order though because i've been slacking off at school and i need to get caught up.


It's funny, when I went to Gamestop to get both games the guy there seemed like he had no idea what games were, he had to check in the system to see if they had them (it is somewhat understandable for Warhead, but not for Force Unleashed, they just had a midnight deal for it). They didn't have Warhead in stock until tomorrow and he tried to get me to preorder it, saying they probably wouldn't have any extra without a preorder (right...) Gamestop is ridiculous and I don't know why I buy anything from them.

i can't answer that for you because all I'll buy from them is used games. walmart never lets me down. :D

Yes. Gamestop is a f$%#ing sad joke of a store.
 
They had a couple of the figures you're supposed to get with the game if you PO but the guy goes yeah those are for us. :lol

of course...the average employee (except for the cute girl that works at my gamestop) doesn't know their arse from a hole in the ground. i was in gamestop sometime last week asking when the STALKER expansion was coming out. the two employees said they'd never heard of it or when it was coming out...i happened to be standing in front of the small PC shelf and alas, it was on the bottom shelf.
 
I don't mind Gamestop. It's just like any other retail chain brick and mortar store. People always have complaints - Gamestop this week, Walmart the next, Best Buy thereafter...so forth, so on.

I called Gamestop before driving there to confirm if they have Crysis: Warhead in stock, and they said not until tomorrow - something that is expected since the release date is September 17 (shipping date is Sept. 16).

The Gamestop in my area has a PS3 kiosk with The Force Unleashed in it, so it gives customers a chance to try it before buying. The employees there are hardcore game nerds, so they were pretty helpful.
 
bought this game today during my lunch break and got my $20 gift card at TRU. Game so far is pretty good and dont regreat getting it.....yet. Only glitch I had was during the vader vs jedi match. The guy glitched through the ground to mid chest, I did a force push and he fell all the way down. So after he fell and i was pretty much just stuck there until I redid it.
 
Traded in Madden and a couple old Wii games for this today.

Cost me $2.67. How the hell can you hate Gamestop? Hate the idiots that work there, not the company that allows me to get trade in crap for a free game.
 
Btw, Gamestop currently has a promotion/deal going on right now for people who want to trade in their old Xbox 360/PS3/Wii games:

"Trade 3 360/PS3/Wii games and get an extra $15 credit through Sept. 21st

Trade-in 3 XB360, Wii, or PS3 games & receive an extra $15 Trade-in credit!

Expires: 9/21/08. Games with a trade value of $1.00 or less are excluded from offer. Other exclusions may apply. Offer not good on cash trades. Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Trade-ins subject to manager approval. Offer subject to change at anytime. See store associate for details. No dealers."

Would certainly help stave the sting of paying $60 for The Force Unleashed.


Oh, and Toys R Us also has a deal going for TFU:

"Purchase Star Wars The Force Unleashed for the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 and receive a $20 TRU gift card." Good until Sept. 20.

Just a heads up for those interested in TFU.

$2.67! Damn what an awesome price. I really need to rethink letting go of some of my older games that I don't play anymore. I keep telling myself I will play them again, many I do, but most I do not. Think I'll be doing a little trading for Gears 2 and Fable. :rock :rock
 
I need to build up my games that can be sold... right now I am too attached to the ones I have... and the only old ones that COULD be sold are sports games... which sell horribly low. :monkey2
 
Just picked up my copy at Best Buy along with my Tee. Haven't played it yet but looking forward to it.

They do this to try to make you think preorder next time. WTF are you ^^^^ holes going to listen to me. They suck! They get graded on preorders. If they lie to customers and tell them they don't have something unless you preordered it they think it will make you preorder the next game. Dont give those ^^^^ birds your money. :rolleyes:

There's lots of stuff on why they're bad, but just to say this about trades--I traded in my copy of Mass Effect LE when the PC version came out (mind you they're still selling this for $50 used) and they only gave me $8 for it. If I had known that beforehand I would have sold it on Ebay.

Usually if I don't need the game immediately I buy online, it's just easier.
