He deserved auto fire kicks. No one forced him to buy the game new then sell it used for eight bucks to Gamestop.What is more stupid? Doing something stupid or showing the world how stupid you are.

It's about as bad as selling your games to Lamestop!

Ya know, as much as I love to rip on GameStop I don't understand the "GameStop only gave me $xx.xx for my used game!" complaint. Selling anything used isn't going to net you much money, and the GameStop buy-back rates don't seem that much different than most retro game or independent stores. For instance, Robert's Anime Corner Store (where I buy games too), gives you $5.00 for a 7th generation game. My local retro store won't even give you money, just store credit.CRTGAMER wrote:Stark wrote:Heh:

I bought Tactics Ogre for $9.99 at GameStop the other day. Just about shat my pants when the clerk took the gutted copy and handed me a sealed one!!!

You guys do realize that the video is a advertisement for that website he uses in the clip, not an actual news story...right?

Guess it was a clerk mistake, but I paid $14.99 for it and got $14.99 back.
And, no, it wasn't a return. My sister ended up throwing away the receipt so we couldn't return it.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Well I do, I thought it was obvious enough not to post it with the clip. I just think seeing a guy get kicked in the junk to be comedy gold.dsheinem wrote:You guys do realize that the video is a advertisement for that website he uses in the clip, not an actual news story...right?

Yeah, I knew it was a commercial, but I like how they bash Gamestop.dsheinem wrote:You guys do realize that the video is a advertisement for that website he uses in the clip, not an actual news story...right?

Re: Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
It's OK if I'm the one who decides to watch it. I am not against all advertising in every form, only the ones that show up and annoy me when I am trying to do something else.noiseredux wrote:you watched advertising.Inazuma wrote:Yeah, I knew it was a commercial, but I like how they bash Gamestop.dsheinem wrote:You guys do realize that the video is a advertisement for that website he uses in the clip, not an actual news story...right?
If I buy a DVD, and it has a menu option to view trailers, there is a good chance I will decide to watch some or all of them. If a DVD plays trailers right away before going to the main menu, it pisses me off. That's the difference. I think advertising should always be a choice.
