in denmark they dont do that unless the cases are beat to shit and even then they might not take the game cause the condition of the case is so poor and they dont take games without cases

my local gamestop gave me the case and manuals for games that i had loose for FREE ... I been collecting for PS3 games lately ... I got the Yakuza 3 and yakuza 4 for case and manuals for the games ...

That's awesome! Did they not have the games for those cases?
@PerfectSwagHD6 жыл бұрын
yes im pretty sure ... but I was debating of buying it just for the case and manual ... I got lucky and found it (loose) on a pawnshop for cheap weeks before... I explain to the game stop employee about my collector goals for the PS3 ... and he saids quoting "dont buy the full price game just for the case and manual" ... he gave it to me for free ... i tried to offer to pay for just the case and manual ... but apparently they cant get money or something like that ... I guess he felt pity or just clearly nice guy ... he said no problem man ... Im frequent customer for that gamestop i always buy there when htere is a game i dont have so far ... if you wondering Im going for full JRPG/RPG/surival horror/Fighting games for the PS3 ... right now its dirt cheap to collect for right now BTW ... im mostly a ps2 collector but i got to the point i cant find games anymore (as in the more obscure ones) ... Im taking advantage of PS3 right now underrated library im surprise some of the games that came out in the system

Hey @fantavision I have a question ... one of my gamestop has the game Trails of cold Steel I (ps3) the same price for the same game for the collector edition ....there both 24.99 ... they never had it display doh ... but when they where opening the drawers I spot(eagle sight) the Trails of Cold Steel Lion heart edition(ps3) ... Im not making a conspiracy... My question is if the manager was trying to sell the game separate to make more money or he tried to keep the rest for himself? Had you seen this before ? as gamestop employee .... sorry for the long question ... also thanks for the content more of these videos Please

I got Pre-Ordered PS2's P3 Fes (29.99) for free along with 30 bucks cash from gamestop once, because the computer said I never picked up a Pre-ordered copy of Persona 3 (59.99) a year prior. And I did.... Even told the guy that, but he said that the computer is never wrong. Yeah Amazon gives you a discount after 2 weeks of release... but they also list it out of stock until the 2 weeks pass.

@usteeler816 жыл бұрын
That's why I buy the majority of my games on Amazon. I've gotten so tired of Gamestop's gaming policy, and your story of hiking up 360 prices grinds my gears, but as Fanta said that's capitalism. Take the good with the bad, and take your business elsewhere if possible. I only go into a Gamestop if it's more convenient to get a game and get out.

I had the same thing happen. Some guy came in (I’m the only other customer other than the trader) And said well for that price I don’t want it you guys can just have it. The manager said well “sense your here kid you take what you want” I came home with some goodies. I remember it was a lot of ps2 games is what I got. I remember a bunch of title from my childhood (not worth anything more than the nostalgia I had) but the employees were like dude what the hell?!

What's your take on what happened to Camelot? Do you think he has proof or a case? Why would Gamestop doing something That vile or evil? Not that I'm that surprised about it, but why would they put themselves at risk for so much bad press that this is going to get them? That makes no business sense to me. And what do you think they did to make his current job fire him? you think he can sue? so many questions!

Couldn't play whatever I wanted at work (unless I snuck in my gameboy micro lol), but if there was a lot of downtime especially at night it wasn't really a big deal! Probably played only like an hour a week on the demos, but I was on my phone ALOT because I would always get all of my work done ahead of time so when I was near close I didn't have much to do.
