I hate GameStop because I own an independent game store that kicks the living shit out of them and I can't get ANY exclusives. I think I am gonna start counting these exclusives and for every one they get I'll open a better game store next to them. I have already knocked a quarter of million dollars in sales out of the one next to my first store and we are still growing exponentially. Please support the independents in your area. They are almost always gamers who actually give a shit about other gamers..
I WILL NOT pay to download games or full length features I want to own through LIVE. I have two kids and I never know where I am going to have to play the game or movie. Piss Off MS. I like my games and the fact that they have a value outside what I pay for them. If I want to trade a P.O.S. in for another game I would like that option. BTW BluRay holds up against kid's scratches way better than regular DVD's and that is why I buy all my films for the PS3 I never play.
Not even a big fan of the PS3 but that upgrade looks great. Congrats to Santa Monica Studios on that one. Guess I'll be using the PS3 for something more than movies this holiday. Sorry, not the only reason, Uncharted 2 is great.
I stand corrected. I was under the impression they developed the game in Austin. I grew up in Richardson and worked at Los Rios Country Club in Plano through High School. I went to Berkner in Richardson. None of that excuses the fact that as a developer they could have supported a great mom and pop shop in the area instead of a crappy company based in the area that does very little for the gaming community or charities in general with their billion dollar revenue. Independent game stores constantly get shit on because of exclusives and other special crap given to GameStop while the same developers will cry about used game sales and how they hurt their industry. I have absolutely no sympathy for any of them. It is after all business and GameStop does it very poorly regardless of their revenue and size. I will continue to eat them alive in my area and continue to grow and consume more of their market share while giving superior customer service and it doesn't cost me a penny more.
How in the world could I shamelessly promote myself on a blog? I think GaneStop sucks and the developer isn't from D/FW. They could have chosen a local independent retailer to help promote their game and they didn't. I didn't ask them to come to my store and I am not asking any assholes like you either to come in. I own what I own and I stand by my record on giving back to my community and the gaming community in general. GameStop with all there money gives nothing but I will personally plant a flagpole in your yard if you want to run a flag up and salute them. Because they TRULY CARE ABOUT YOU!
I own a game store in Los Angeles. 18 HDTV's. 18 360's 18 PS3's all on a super T1 tied into the backbone of the internet @ 5MS. 2 kegs and a back patio. Why in the hell would I go to a piece of shit GameStop. GamerDoc FTW!
I couldn't think of anything less fun than playing a video game inside a shoebox of a GameStop. Do they even have TV's to play games on? Would've been nice to see the developers choose a real game store to launch in since their game needs help from the independents to sell through at launch. What's next guys? Tournaments at your local WalMart superstore?
That's Great!!! Maybe I should try and build a viable business model out of that you fucking Dingus!
Occasionally offer PSN cards but I pay $18 for a $20 card so that ain't helping pay the rent. If I run out I don't really worry about that slim profit margin. Sorry amn I gotta pay bills and the ONLY way to do that are is by selling used games and doing repairs.
I own GamerDoc in Los Angeles. I won't sell the PoS either. You go WalMart. We already lose money on every console and handheld we sell. WTF would I sell a handheld I can't sell games for.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
