My local EB games is run by joint halo and Call of Duty fans.

Real "gamers" like all games and try everything, not to tell you to cancel a pre-order.

Tell him halo Pwns by pulling out an energy sword and hacking off his head.

You load his head into a rocket launcher and fire it at all his friends.

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

You should go back and tell them that they reserved the wrong game and tell them to change the reservation to ODST.

HOLY CRAP! almost the same thing happened when I went in to reserve my ODST.

My ROFLsniper goes POW!

ok. If it was that situation, i would probably cancel. But i would still get both of the games. Luckily, i payed in full for both games at the same time. =] It costed alot of money to buy two games at once that im not even gonna get to play yet, but i love both series and i would have preordered both sooner or later anyway. But if he prordered something FOR me that i didnt want to at the moment, i would kick his ass right there. =] And you dont need the receipt to pick up your game when it is released, they have your name in the computer. =]

Cancel it. This guy jipped you, get ODST rather than Modern Warfare 2 if it's what you really want. If you're worried about seeing him again, just poke your head in and see if he's working until he isn't and explain what happened. Hell, I'd report the guy. See that the employer knows.

You should have cut the deal with him. MW2 is going to be GOTY easy. Not saying ODST isnt gonna be sweet either. I'm excited for both!

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Stab him. Halo FTW

Seems like COD:MW is looking for attention. Probably attention that without would not make as much money.

Them "telling" you to get MW is just them being pushed by the man.

This game might be a failure after all.

Calling the manager will do no good.

Cancel it.
Or just go back again and pre-order ODST that way you have 2 games to wait for :D?

  • 07.18.2009 2:47 PM PDT

Dues absconditus

Go Back and Speak to the Manager.

Also. The Future of Gaming is not in Call of Duty MW2; or ODST for that matter. The Future of gaming, has yet to be reveled, and as such should'nt be given a false prophet to embody it (This guy chose COD MW2).

Simply should've told him:

"Alright, well I'm just gonna come back later when your out, you know in your basement worshiping your false prophet Soap Mctavish. So atleast I can reserve a game I am want, COD MW2 looks good, but I'm more excited for ODST, so you need to back off, and let me express my free will by choosing the game I want. Other wise I'll have to kindly shove my foot up your
-Blam!-"


EDIT: When I reserved my copy of ODST, guy gave me no problems.
Then again I chose EB Games, not Gamestop, even though they are the same thing, with different names.

I just can't believe so many people want COD MW2 so much. It looks good, so does ODST, but obviously ODST Automaticlly wins the Hype Contest, even if MW2 is expected to win game of the year or whatever. Simple Point, both are good games, just ODST wins intial release sales, and it seems gamestop is trying to fix that. >.>

For Carnage Apply Within - Fatum Iustum Stultorum

"Do not mistake your rank and number for superiority. The oldest child may learn from the youngest."

Go back to the store with your receipt, ask for a manger, explain the problem, and correct the employee's mistake. That pretty much all you need to do. If a manager is not there, ask for another, more competent, employee. If the employee you had a problem with is there, express your displeasure with him and his annoying habits, before requesting that something else help you. As a paying customer you are entitled to the product you want, not one someone else wants to give you.

What? What an absolute retard. I would go back to the shop, demand to see the store manager and try to have the guy sacked for just being a twat. You don't allow this sort of thing to happen in any other kind of shop, do you? No, in other shops the guy behind the counter gives you what you want and that's that. Why should it be different for this guy? What's the difference between selling a game for this guy and selling a pair of shoes for the guy in the sports shop?

You should have told him to shut up (With or without "You little freak") and give you what you were asking for, because at the end of the day you're the customer and he's just the guy behind the counter who's job is to give the customer what they're damn well asking for. Seriously, I'd have been pissed off if that were me.


This is a win post!

I would have said, I don't give a -blam!- about CoD. Gamestop employees tend to say f*** a lot anyway so it wouldn't be new to them
And I geuss the moral of the story is that, if you're a CoD fanboy, your destined to end up as a retarded aisian workin at gamestop.

MW2 won't be game of the year. Halo 3 won game of the year last time, and with HALO 3's multiplayer and a new and initutive campaign (ODST), Halo 3 ODST will be GOTY.
