NOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooo, MY GAMESTOP IS CLOSING DOWN. How will i get the newest games or sell my games for 0.25 cents. why didn't you buy more nintendo games!
even the fucking employee's are being dicks. MmmmmMMM mario magaman zero skyrim g-get them all before they go!. buy! the warranty. 50% off used games 20% off new games/items
WHAT A STEAL
How did soijack get elevated to such heights?
are that...
FUNKO POPS
>are that
Gamestop was so 2008.
People who went too deepy down the irony rabbit hole
what is the point of this embarrassment of a thread?
Holy shit a whole 10-30% discount, what a deal!
>FUNKO POPS
Saw a guy in that gamestop today sitting on the floor cause of sugery who was buying 30 boxes of funko shit. i think if you look hard enough he is in the picture
even when gamestop is money starved and desperate, the best they can do is 10% off.
the 30% off is reserved for 10 dollar shovelware, I'm sure of it.
>omg yaaaasss I love not actually owning any game, paying for a nonexistant box and cd and not being able to resell my games
>please give companies to ability to delete any game they don't like from distribution
Can anyone see OP's face or body in the reflection?
>0.25 cents
A quarter of a cent? Do they pay you in coupons with minimal cash value?
TO let us know that we could get MM zero for 24 dollars a-and the witcher 3 or 3 houses for 48 dallors
buy it guys. its good
Um, sweetie, publishers had the legal right to go to your house and demand you hand over the game disk if you broke their ToS anyways, so there's literally no difference
For me, it’s Funcoland
do you seriously think OP didn't just take this from reddit and slapped a wojak on it?
>order game online
>arrives 5 days early
Yeah never looked back
its real. I live near that area and passed by it
CEX is honestly pretty good for retro shit
>order game online
>gets lost in the mail
Yeah fuck off
lol no, retro shit is expensive as fuck in cex
they're only good for last gen games which they throw away for literal pennies
the only problem is the smell, the mongrels behind the counter and you should always check if these vermin gave you the right game disc
>"lost" in the mail
Try living outside a poor area so mailmen won't jack your games bro.
soul
>funcoland
>no funko pops in sight
Their Black Friday and Christmas sales were absolute jokes. They wonder why they are losing money when you can just go to Wal-Mart and get everything cheaper, especially since Gamestop doesn't even carry niche titles anymore.
walmart also doesn't open your game and sell them to you as new
>>gets lost in the mail
Try not being a mutt.
I buy all my shit from Amazon with the exception of physical collector's editions and such, since they tend to get banged up.
I actually don't mind Gamestop, but they dug their own grave with their bullshit.
>Find a copy of Terminator Salvation for the PS3 in one of the four fucking stores within 10 miles from my house
>Go into the store
>Immediately bombarded with their marketing spiel the second the door dings.
>There are three employees just standing around
>One of them power walks from behind the counter and follows me around the store trying to divert my attention to the Funko pops and fucking Rick and Morty type shit on the walls
>Find the one lonely and miserably small shelf for last gen games
>Dude won't fucking stop pelting me with deals and offers. Finally says he can ring me out
>Other dude calls me over to his register, the first guy looks visibly shook as he fumbles back behind the counter, but I was already checking out
>Had to tell the guy to just let me pay for the fucking game, since he wouldn't finish the transaction on his end. Just making sure I didn't want to put $3 of insurance on a $9 game.
Another store tried telling me that their Black Friday deals, as advertised on their website a week earlier, would actually be lower on Black Friday and that I should come in, since they had this big pizza party for the people in line.
I drove by and there were like two dudes there.
I remember being excited for a midnight release a few years back. Only to realize my local gamestop doesn't even do that shit anymore.
Literally the funnest part of buying physical games. Getting a group of friends together, getting some food about an hour before midnight, then hanging out in line taking about the game, and they stopped fucking doing it.
You could make an entire night out memories thanks to a midnight release, but not anymore.
I have no sympathy for gamestop, I even refunded a game somebody bought me as a gift from there just so I could go buy it at the target in the same parking lot. You get what you deserve.
the employees are under a lot of pressure to sell you crap you don't want. gamestop corporate somehow doesn't understand that they've made their stores a terrible place to visit.
I remeber when Tekken tag 2 came out wanted the WiiU version for the extra content went to GS since it was closest "Yeah we got a copy", clerk opens a draw, pulls out a flap, gets an empty case and sticks it in the case 60 dollars friend. Asked if he had any that wasn't open before you know it I put the extra miles and when to Best Buy got it brand new unopened.
This, when I see them open the drawer I just leave.
Mine shut down and offered an 80% discount on all of the merch. I have piled of overwatch pillows they didnt even feel like charging me for, and I snagged and xbox one controller for 30 bucks. All worth the shutdown.
>Just making sure I didn't want to put $3 of insurance on a $9 game.
why do they have insurance? you can't return it if it doesn't work?
>midnight release
what's the point when digital and release date delivery exist?
My local one shut down too. They kept the prices as is all the way till closure.
>store that was near me already closed down many years ago
gamestop is hilariously bad
It's because they buy into the stupid "physical is dead" meme. It's why half the store is funko pops and other """nerd""" shit now.
I would love to see the sales figures of say the new animal crossing at places like walmart and target when compared to gamestop. I have a feeling those numbers would tell a different story than what the suits believe.
>do you seriously think OP didn't just take this from reddit and slapped a wojak on it?
This right here, I hate the company but I try not to give the associates any shit, they're being forced and threatened to do this shit just to keep their jobs.I just give a polite "I'm not interested" and leave it at that.
Because it's unironically fun to get a couple of your friends together and go out on the town.
It's more than just showing up to the store 10 minutes before: It's about the drive there while everyone is hanging out in the car, the trip to a fast food place so you guys have something different to eat when you get home, meeting new people in the line that have similar interests as you, and the excitement of everyone talking about what they're gonna do first on the drive home.
These are things that don't happen to the same degree with digital, why go out if the game is already at home? That spark of incentive and socialization is just gone.
>$3 of insurance
In 30 years of playing games I have only broken one. My copy of incredible crisis was knocked off the shelf into a pile of clothes so I didnt notice it fall, then got stood on. Completely my own fault for being a teen slob honestly.
You have a very small window, especially on used shit.
>bought a used PS3 back in 2015
>barely two months later it YLODs and this was before I learned it was an easy fix
>try to return it for a replacement/refund less than two months later and they wouldn't accept it as I didn't buy the insurance.
>had to sell it to them as a used console
>still don't have a replacement PS3 as I stopped buying consoles from those fucks and now PS3s are ridiculously expensive new or from shady sellers used
how am I supposed to buy more boxed Chinese plastic locally? :'( life only gets worse for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>0.25 cents
>quarter of a cent
It's their bullshit fee to justify not taking any game back if it has scratches or any physical damage.
That's why when you buy a new game in some stores the clerk will open it in front of you, so they can check for pre-existing damage.
I know that last bit ain't the standard, but I had a nigger at one of the local stores open a shrink-wrapped, limited edition, game and crack the spine in the process to check the disk. I had to get a fucking refund and they told me they didn't have enough copies.
>enter EB Games
>preorder game
>come back on the day of release
>receive sealed game
FUCKING GAMESTOP
There are people unironically paying artists to make wojak edits for them.
The employees told me that if there is another Gamestop within a reasonable range, they don't put their stuff on sale and instead just transfer everything over to the other Gamestop.
Hey, it's me, the Amazon delivery guy with the game you ordered yesterday. Aren't online shops amazing? Well, see ya.
The delivery system in USA is a big mystery to me. Here, untill you sign up paper that you took the package from courier, the package is undelivered. You get package in 1-2 days.
Yet all i see from USA is UPS throwing packages behind fence and leaving, how the fuck are you okay with this?
Gamestop Corporate has to be the most retarded managements
>how to we tie our customers to our stores?
>lets try to up- and crosssell as much as possible
>people get sick of Gamestop employees trying to sell them shit they don't want
>stop going to Gamestop stores
>"hmm this is a problem our sales are declining how do we fix this?
>Up- and crosssell even more!
>ask people to sell us the phones they are currently holding for 20 bucks of store credit
>even the biggest Gamestop loyalists get sick of it and stop visiting the stores
>"I guess physical sales are declining we need to re-adjust our business model and sell people Funko Pops!
It's probably some 50y old guy wondering why the the stuff they did 10 years ago doesn't work now.
I just don't get why Gamestops need to exist. Buying a game? You can do that at any major retailer like Walmart. Even better if you deliver with Amazon. Demoing a game? Everyone downloads them now. Do they just rely on their selection of video game related merch to bring people into the stores?
>"Enjoy!"
>"You too."
>10-30% off
>wowitsfuckingnothing.png
poster is actually wrong tho. I went in and its 20% off new games and 50% off pre owned.
was going to get hack//g.u for 6 dollars but said na. fuck em
Love soijak
That's all
Behold... This is Gamestop's attempt to revive their dead bushiness.
if you burgerlanderinos stopped robbing each other's package deliveries you won't have to go to gaystop to be next to smelly neets who never bathe
well that was my experience when i recently visited burgerland
kinda looks like asian internet cafes but better lit and probably doesn't smell like cigarette butts
I think I'd rather be smothered with cigarette smoke than body odor.
>every single screen angled down because only kids come in
lol
oh trust me, they have that too in typical asian internet cafes
Cigarette smoke overpowers BO though.
you can sell and trade at gamestop. it's a shit deal though. you're better off selling somewhere else.
yeah, but most of them ban smoking inside the building
It's the same shit in my local GAME in the UK, it's just young kids come in and play Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox on these gaming rigs.
