Ex: "Still, if you still prefer to buy games the old fashioned way, here are ten things you should probably know about the world of video game retail that you might not have already known. All these facts have been verified by either online reports or the grumblings of a host of disgruntled employees who prefer to remain anonymous."

I don't shop at LameStop anymore because all the employees there are big Sony fanboys who keep trying to convince me to buy a Ps3. Which is ridiciulous lol.

Queasy4930d ago

I don't shop there simply because it's easier (and cheaper) to order stuff online through Amazon or elsewhere.

Hydrolex4930d ago (Edited 4930d ago )

Well, they are not PS3 fanboys, they are being honest with you...

When your mom tells you poopy boy don't mess with guys cuz you are

not homo, do you think she is a STRAIGHT Fanboy or do you think she is right ?

lolcatz4930d ago

Haha, all the ones near my house are Xbox fanboys.

thehitman4930d ago

thats a first GameStop is Notorious for 360 fanboys.

I understand stores need to make money, but it's pretty obnoxious to charge like $200 for a HDMI cable taht you can get online for $10.

There's a difference between making a profit and exploiting consumer ignorance.

I did know that Gamestop employees could check out games, but I didn't know they took NEW games displayed on the shelf. But I figured they weren't really NEW since they were already opened and the disc was in a sleeve in a drawer. I sorta put two and two together. Doesn't bother me.

As long as the game works, I don't care.

Cevapi884930d ago

but dont you think that defeats the whole purpose of New and Pre-owned....they get an early taste of all the games coming out...they get to play them for who knows how long and then bring them back and still sell them at $60....i feel like thats unfair to consumers and publishers should really voice their opinions on this...there is a difference between owning the IP and owning the copies themselves...retailers like GS have too much lee-way IMO when it comes to new releases

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

Bad Editing
When copying text from the source article make sure you read over the text and edit it if necessary. A good example is when a site writes "We" or "I" , as this should then be replaced with the site's or person's name, or you can quote the source.
