you need to get that guy fired NAO. But by the way, If so that he forced a pre-order of CoDMW2, Did he mention to you that you get a free map pack with 4 maps? Thats what my gamestop did, DONT FLAME ME I ALREADY GOT ME ODST, AND MY GRIFBALL SDCC ACTION FIGURE WILL HAMMEROWN YOU ALL MUHAHAHA.

4 Games in a row, 2 perfections, 3 running Riots, 1 Rampage, 1 overkill

I've pre-ordered both, but if you like Halo, you should definitely go back and get it changed.

i think you should find out when his hours are and kindly go back there and punch his face in then get the manager to fire him.

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

You seriously have got to be kidding me, I knew people could be stupid but wow, just wow. He probaly thinks your a dumb teen(or whatever you are) who has no idea what your talking about, I mean both have a great gaming experience to offer, just like H3 and COD4 did, and personally I will play them both nonstop, but forcing down a game...my god. Where I live there is abot 5 gamestops in a small area, and me and my mom are well known to employees at two of the stores(they know my face, what my opinions are, what kind of game i like, my moms face, that I go there frequently, etc...) and they would NEVER treat me like that, they tell me they want MW 2 WAY more then ODST but when I went to reserve both of the games(MW2/ODST) they didn't give me any lip, because these people have a shred of intelligence

My adivce: go to the store, speak to manager, get refund, but if that doesn't work just go to a different gamestop.

Been a long time Halo/Bungie fan, and always will be.

thats why i hate gamestop their clerks are very pushy...i just wanted to buy some microsoft pionts and the dude was like recommending cod mw2 the whole time this is how it went down

[me] can i have 1600 mp

[theloser] why buy the microsoft points when you can pre order cod mw2 for 5 BUCKS

[me] no thank you i just want some mp..

then after that he was just bragging about how cool its gonna be.....i almost went over the counter and slammed the cheap computer on his head!!!!!!!

I picked other because you should cancel MW2 and go down there and RAISE HELL. Get the manager and just start yelling. Thats what i would do.

  • 07.18.2009 9:39 PM PDT

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


That is a UBER win post. I totaly aggre with that. You want what you ask for. When you try to buy a speaker set they don't give you a boom box. (or some thing.) You should try to get him sacked.

Kind of reminds me about the time i went to buy Age of Empires 3 for my PC a year or two ago, the guy asks me if i've played Age of Empires 2. I tell him i haven't, but i've played the first one.. He then goes to tell me that I should buy AoE2 instead

I ask him why, can i Just get it and leave now? And this frekin twat is just absolutely refusing to let me buy AoE3.

People like that piss me off.

i preordered ODST a few weeks ago and a similiar incadent accured here is how it went

[me] hey can i get halo odst

[crazed cod fanboy] why would you want that when MW 2 is coming out.

[me] srry i'm just not all that into cod i mean it's cool but halo is way better

[crazed cod fanboy] WHAT cod is starting a new age in gaming. buying anything else is just stupid

[me] sir can you just ring me up so i can leave( getting VERY ANGRY)

[crazed cod fanboy] yea so that's 1 mw preorder

[me] look sir you may like mw but personally it's multiplayer is boring and repatative and it's community is a bunch of MLG wannabe jerks so either ring me up or do i need to talk to your manager.

[crazed cod fanboy] whatever here's your receipt

[me] (as i leave) how surprising to find a cod fanboy working here

If that happened to me, I would go to Gamestop on MW2's release date, pick it up, then open it infront of his eyes, then break it.
"Force me to buy this, yeah, you lil idiot." then I would have picked up Halo 3 ODST and walked out the store (Yes I would have bought it)

You know.. Funny you should mention about crazy store clerks and Modern Warfare 2. I was at my local games retailer (I live in Singapore so its Asia too) today to put pre-orders down for the LEs of Halo 3: ODST, Dragon Age: Origins and Modern Warfare 2.

Dude at the counter took down my name and contact number and got me to write what I was there to pre-order. I did that and well, yea. He takes the slip of paper and looks at me, repeating to me what I had written to make sure he got it right. All of a sudden, he stops, looks at me and says "I think you've made a mistake sir". And I'm all like "I beg your pardon?"

And, with the most serious face, he looks at me and says,

"It says here you pre-ordering both the Halo ODST and Modern Warfare 2?"

"Yea I am. Huge fan of shooters and those 2 series in particular"

"Why would you do that?"

"Like I said, I like Halo and COD4 was great"

"I would highly recommend that you cancel your order for Halo ODST, sir"

At this point, I'm getting slightly irritated as I was hungry and wanted to go eat lunch. But I waited and tried to find out more.

"Why?"

"Because you probably won't be spending much time with this Halo game when Modern Warfare 2 comes out. I would also recommend cancelling your order for Dragon Age"

"How do you know that?"

" Have you seen their trailers!?" Dude then proceeds to take a remote and play both the Halo 3: ODST trailer and the Modern Warfare 2 trailer and looks at me.

I'm pissed at this point of time as he had easily just wasted 4 minutes of my time. Dude continues talking.

"So, can I cancel that order now, sir?"

I get pissed off and tell him "Look, its my money. I spend it how I want. Just give me a call when you get the games." And with whatever patience I had left, I muttered "Thanks"

As I walk out the store, he says in chinese "Idiot is just wasting his money."

I'm Indian but know my fair bit of chinese. I turned, shot him a stare and walked off.


Oh my God... that WOULD have driven me mad. If I met that guy, I'd grab his head and proceed to smash it against the wall screaming "IT'S A GAME!!!!!!!". Why are these guys so f**king... geeky? Why can't they just take your money, give you the items and keep their noses out, like the employees of every other shop in the world? I seriously don't know how I'd react to idiocy of this magnitude. It is utterly ridiculous. These people should get it in their heads that they should shut up and DO THEIR JOB, which is to sell you the product that you ask for.

And if they're trying to rip you off by selling you more than one game, that's even more of a reason to complain.

Off topic question, but didn't wanna make a new thread about it.

i preordered both Halo3:ODST and Assassins Creed 2 when i bought Forza 2 last month. Usually when i preorder a game i get a little extra note with my reciept about my preorder info. i didn't get one. i also didn't get an email or any notification of my preorders... all i got is my reciept. is that all i need or do i need to go back and ask them about it?

Go back to the store and enquire about it. It's probably nothing serious, but it might be a mistake on the store's behalf and you really should just check to be sure.
