My Gamestop Is Finally Talking Sense

Night Owl · 08-11-2005, 06:03 PM

I went into gamestop on monday and was about to pay off the rest of my 360 when the manager said 'I have some news' so before paying it all of I spoke to him (my mom was there also) He was saying how today he was talking to microsoft for about 2 hours about the shipments and all that good stuff and he said they were getting 14 360's in on launch, before saying how bad that sucked, I asked where I was on the list. I was number 39 of about 200 people, thats not too bad, except for the fact they he said they would get in about 10 every week. But he said TONS of people havent payed off their 360's and tonight he was going to go home, look at everyone who payed theirs off and make them higher on the list, so I decided to pay off the 360, I mean what else would I have done, so I go in today and ask him about my shipment, and he said I will probaly squeeze into the 1st ship! Thats excelent! Im so happy ( but he did say probably)

LOL i feel sorry for you, you got tricked into paying the X360. You are num. 39 and there are 14 consoles for release, and ten every week so that makes about 3 weeks after the launching that you will get yours. In moments like this i would be laughing but its anohter gamers without x360 for he release

EDIT: Ooops! he said probably, and thats not a good word in america

Best of Luck Night Owl. I should call up Walmart and ask them about how many 360s they will get. I won't be that bad for me at least. It is Pennsylvania, the state of quietness.

xpitbull · 08-11-2005, 07:06 PM

Yeah me too, i wish you good luck and hopefully you'll get your system for release. If i were you (which im not) i'll go back as soon as possible and put some pressure on the manager until he gets tired of you and forced imto put you on the 1st shipment

Well my gamestop said walmart was getting less than them, and thats too much chaos for me, and he also said the biggest number of 360's one store was getting was 30 (this is in georgia)

Yeah I havent paid mine of and I got a call on Monday from EB saying Ill be first shipment. And Youll probably have to wait a long time before playing the Xbox 360.Read this http://joystiq.com/entry/1234000587067107/

theelderscroll · 08-11-2005, 07:38 PM

I pre ordered mine june 27 (not that addicted to 360, it was on my reciped), so i am definatly on 1st shipment.

P Mack · 08-11-2005, 07:42 PM

1st, 2nd? I may ask a person at Walmart to hold a 360 for me. They do hold stuff, but no reserves. I might ask 2 days before launch. 14 systems? 30? of both or premium? That sounds low. PA is the state where I can get anything besides Gamestop. They act so *** there. They all are retards there, my Walmart is stupid, but the can actually awnser questions unlike my Gamestops.

I reserved mine at GAMESTOP not EB

Always#1 · 08-11-2005, 08:03 PM

Yeah but didnt you read that probably every store(except Best Buy) will probably have to wait 3-4 until the second shipment.

*gulp* Yea, I didnt see that

Cybergig1 · 08-11-2005, 08:45 PM

yeah unfortunately retailers will tell you ANYTHING to get you to pay stuff off early. Helps their sales for that week. Its a sad truth. And they'll always use the catch phrases "yeah we're getting more in than that store" when they have absolutely NO idea how much another company would be getting. So dont listen to that BS. I hope you can get on the first shipment bud. But I dunno. Sounds like he was just making you a promise that he knows he isn't held accountable for, he can always weasle out and say he couldn't do it. When he knew well ahead of time he couldn't anyways. Because if the tope 20 or so people come in and pay theirs off say today then technically they should still be first. As they were before you, regardless of when they paid it off in full. EB even told me they wont do that, only that if someone doesn't come and pay theirs off on launch that they'll bump them off the first shipment and then call the next person on the list. But still best of luck hope it works out

Night Owl · 08-11-2005, 08:47 PM

Well Im bound to get a 360 eventually, I just hope I can get it ASAP

Holic · 08-11-2005, 09:18 PM

Good luck man, I pre-ordered mine this past weekend at TRU, and guaranteed to get it on the morning of 11/22. It feels good knowing you'll be getting one.

Rubiks14 · 08-11-2005, 09:42 PM

I can feel for you I was called the other day from eb games and last time i went up there they told me I was #14 but the call I got the other day was to tell me that 2 people cancelled and I was bumped up to #12 and they were getting 12 360s so I barely made it too.
