People like Game Quest, or even eBay, sell plenty of games. Though I do see how a physical retail chain would put a little fire under their asses for policies.<BR/><BR/>I alway see men women and children in GameStop. Have you ever noticed that if a man and woman come in together the woman chooses the games?<BR/><BR/>They open all their games. Since they don't keep them in cases they can't afford to have the disks in the cases if they get stolen. I'd like to see some kind of security device on the stuff, I'd rather it take them five more seconds at the register than risk some geeky idiot scratched up the disk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36275738.post-61682550165594402262008-12-06T19:16:00.000-08:002008-12-06T19:16:00.000-08:00I guess I live next to the bad Gamestop.

It's one of Game Stop's competition but no where near as huge a chain. We operate in most of the same ways as Game Stop and depending on the store you will get the good or douche workers. Not a bad chain. We do some things better than Game Stop (but we do fall short of Game Stop in a few places).<BR/><BR/>3: I understand your point about a new game. I own over 260 games and I want them all in the best condition possible. If it's a new copy of the game I want it sold new, in srinkwrapped plastic. But it's company policy that we have to gut games and put the case on the floor to get shopper attention.<BR/><BR/>I would rather the company send us a blank box of a game that's just a placeholder then the customer bring the game to the counter and we sell them a wrapped copy. But the company would rather save shipping charges by just making us gut them.<BR/><BR/>I seem to have rambled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36275738.post-40709272496605786152008-12-03T03:09:00.000-08:002008-12-03T03:09:00.000-08:00Hey...I like how there's so many people sayign the...Hey...<BR/><BR/>I like how there's so many people sayign they've been keepign up with this blog for years xD, and people come on here and they just happen to psot for the first time in years.<BR/><BR/>Come off it, as far as I know, it's relatively new and I have only been watching for 5 weeks.<BR/><BR/>MAN!<BR/><BR/>Kylelb003g0676https://www.blogger.com/profile/12635299061542304028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36275738.post-87262300014537639142008-12-03T01:50:00.000-08:002008-12-03T01:50:00.000-08:00Hey Dave,I actually wanted to also start my own vi...Hey Dave,<BR/><BR/>I actually wanted to also start my own video blogs. Pretty entertaining. I read that you wanted to get into the film industry? I am an aspiring filmmaker hoping to get in as well. What ever happened? Why did you decide to enter gaming? Is it that hard to get in? Should I keep going and never let anything stop me? lol. Is it hard? I am losing motivation. :( It would be cool if you shed some light on your past and why you didn't pursue film and why games and how you get in etc. Also, why are you not involved with God of War 3? Didn't you create it? MGS4, is probably the most epic game I've ever played (i cried); actually that's the game that got me inspired to become a film director!! Weird right?? One more question, how can you know your idea is good and how do you keep going with it when you have the worst doubts in your head about it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798203729391154191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36275738.post-37061880206037707412008-12-02T23:56:00.000-08:002008-12-02T23:56:00.000-08:00DAvid Jaffe. thank you for these blogs of yours......DAvid Jaffe. thank you for these blogs of yours... they are personally meaningful to me even though I don't even know you. I think of you as a GREAT WRITER just as much as a "great video game designer" or movie-guy (seemed like you directed the God of War and TM in-game movies, but i can't remember if you did).

I felt that I should finally begin to reply to some of your comments. This was an ideal post to start with! I actually work at GameStop, store 560 in Chicago actually. Very interesting that you should mention those last "un-shrinkwraped" cases. 9 times out of 10, the customer will ask if that is the actual case they will be getting the game in. Before I worked at GameStop, it always bothered me as a consumer as well. I remember traveling from store to store trying to find a location that had two copies of MGS2 Substance so that I could get an unopened copy. Not only that but since the holiday season is in full swing, we are continually getting to that last case for a game, and I absolutely hate to notify the customer that they are getting the "used looking case". It is absolutely absurd. I think that with every shipment of games, an additional case should be shipped for display purposes ONLY. Corporate Gamestop has no problem with sending us promotional box art for upcoming titles to boost our reserves, so I think it is only just to send us one display box for all new games going forward. Just thought I would chime in and let you know that we, GameStop employees, don't agree with some of the regulations passed down by corporate. But yea, I could not agree with you more. Im so glad someone of your caliber has mentioned this, for now, I feel I can take action!.......In the form of an anonymous letter to the scary and intimidating Corporate GameStop LOL. Also, now that Uncharted 2 is official, do you have anything to say about Naughty Dog or Uncharted? It is undoubtedly my favorite PS3 title next to MGS4 and, of course, Calling All Cars! After all, you got to check out God Of War III. It cant hurt to ask if you have seen or heard anything on Uncharted 2. As always, keep up the AMAZING WORK! <BR/>- Charles .W.Charles Wesley W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17234122471889529347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36275738.post-38194241686699939482008-12-02T22:11:00.000-08:002008-12-02T22:11:00.000-08:00act 4 is the best act of the game...and you dont g...act 4 is the best act of the game.<BR/>..and you dont go to gamestop that often do you?

They all pretty much <I>look</I> the same, but the managers & employees make each store different in terms of your shopping experience there. I've had some bad experiences at both of the GameStops near me. One time, I went to the one in the mall to try & find <B>Beyond Good and Evil</B> for the PS2, I think. I asked the guy there if they had it; he checked the computer and it said they had it. I must have checked the PS2 bargain bins 3 or 4 times over, and I couldn't find it. (So, I just caved in & bought it off of Steam!)<BR/><BR/>Also, the one in the mall is usually insanely busy whenever I go, especially on the weekends! As for the other store, I bought the R&C game, used, for the PS3 a few months ago: the woman cashier was very friendly & helpful. Unfortunately, when I got home, I found out that the game was very dirty. I tried to clean it twice, and it wouldn't work. Luckily, my dad managed to clean it, and it's worked fine ever since! In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have bought it used since it was only $10 less than a new copy, and it was damaged. <BR/><BR/>On to MGS4: the whole game is great, but Acts 4 & 5 really take it to another level. I had seen most of MGS1 on TV, so seeing & playing that in Act 4 wasn't completely shocking, but at the same time, since I didn't experience it before, it didn't have as much of an effect on me. Yet, the modern-day version of Shadow Moses is just stunning! And the music was absolutely beautiful! <BR/><BR/>I really want to play MGS4 again, but it takes too much effort to get every single emblem, and it takes so long to play it for me, even though the fastest time I've played through it was 10 hours or so.<BR/><BR/>Nostalgia is good, but I think you need to make the game (or movie, TV show, or whatever) fun for anyone being entertained by it. <BR/><BR/>I'm done, I promise!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36275738.post-53568798345863784372008-12-02T19:53:00.000-08:002008-12-02T19:53:00.000-08:003:35 - 3:41Oh, my god, David, that's one of the fu...3:35 - 3:41<BR/><BR/>Oh, my god, David, that's one of the funniest things I've seen today, hahahaha.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the laugh.
