Stopped in Friday night to get a game to set my weekend off good (God Hand) and got into a discussion with the hefty neckbearded asian clerk there about the X-box 360 versus the PS3. He's a big Xbox fan and made a convincing argument for getting a 360. I mention how I'm a Metal Gear nut and will have to be playing it sometime very soon on my own setup when he drops this gem on me:
"Well, you know, MGS4 is coming to X-box." I immediately dismiss this notion with a smile and back it up with facts, not taking this too seriously. But he keeps up with it, even after I rebuff him that those rumors are unsubstantiated. But he claims it was announced a month ago! I mean, where is this guy getting his information from, how come no one on here would have mentioned it? This sort of annoyed me as I KNOW there has been no official word on this, despite his claim.
Feel free to post inane, stupid or creepy stories about your Gamestop visits.

I detest talking with those people! I have NEVER had a good experience. Here are two, one from last year and one from last week.
1. Buying my PS3 last year in September. I wanted to snag the 60 GB version as it used the PS2 Emotion Engine chip instead of emulation software. I knew that but figured I would ask for more info. So I tell the guy that I'm there to buy a PS3, that's a $500 purchase! "So, what's the difference between the 60 GB and the new 80 GB?" Chewing on a f...cking sandwitch the pimply son of a bitch rolled his eyes and said, "20 GB"! I was ready to reach over and smash his face into the counter!
2. I always have backups of all my MG games, just in case. The only one I didn't was MPO and I was in no hurry. So I asked the guy if they had any left, used would be fine. He checked his compture and said they did have one but they also had the MPO PLUS and said I should get that instead. I explained to him that PLUS did not have the original content and only featured bonus material. He decided to argue with me on that! Again... I had a very violent thought flash through my head.
Guess that's two strikes now... Strike three and you'll likely catch me on the evening news being hauled off by the cops. ;D

Damn skippy! A fair rule in my mind is that if you are a visible geek (from a physical stand point)... if you look like one, talk like one, dress like one, etc... then at the VERY LEAST you better know what you are talking about. Otherwise, what good are you?

I was in there the other day looking at some games. Went up to the counter and ask them to check how many credits I had in my balance on my card. The two of em were having a conversation about some PC game. I went up there the guys face went from a bored look to an annoyed look, and he rolled his eyes, like I, the customer, is supposed to wait until they were done talking or something. So I checked the balance and left empty handed, since there wasn't enough on my card. I felt like punching him in the teeth. <_<
That and whenever I start playing demos that they have, a crowd of kids always surrounds me and waits for me to give up the controller...
