If it ain't my chair, it ain't my problem. That's what I say.

Hey there everybody, when I pre-ordered my copy of ODST a week or two ago, the guys at gamestop said you can only play as Sgt. Johnson if you pre-order the limited edition of the game, and I told them off until they said that you could play as him if you pre-order the standard edition.

Just wanted to make sure, you get to play as johnson in firefight even if you only pre-ordered the standard edition right?

  • 08.19.2009 10:30 AM PDT

Yup, just as long as you pre-order.

they're always trying to get those few extra bucks....

Yes.

If you pre-order any version of ODST you get Johnson.

  • 08.19.2009 10:31 AM PDT

Yep, with either edition of the game.

I wouldn't trust many clerks at gaming stores, they seem to be clueless/cheap most of the time :-P

That sounds like something Gamestop would do. It's actually kind of depressing....

The guy at Manchester's GAME Store told me you had to Pre-Order the Limited Edition to access the REACH Beta

They never do this stuff to me. Probably because I bring my kid.

Wow, that employee must have been a schmuck.

You should have threatened to them "I have recon so don't lie." I'm suprised how many people (online) are only nice to recon owners. By the way I would lol like crazy if that worked.

Watchya doin?

Yeah, I like to go to gamestop, but their reasoning with things is horrible.

(like one of their mottos is "we buy used games" so I sold like 40 very good PS2 games, ended up being $25.) and the clerk i see there all the time is a super - mega ultra nerd..

and I went to return a used game I bought a week ago (their rule is you can return a user game you have bought within a week.) Since I was a half hour late they wouldn't take it.

Yeah I bought X-Men origins Wolverine but had to get rid of it because of kids and they would only give 20$ for a 60$ dollar game I used like only twice.

And then they actually go and sell it almost full price...

At EB Games (Canadian Game Stop):

Full price GTA4: 50$
Used GTA4: 45$

How the -blam!- does that make any sense???

Yeah I saw ones in the same condition as mine that were used for 50$. Stupid money making ideas.
