poor customer service
I am confused by the rudeness of employees a this location. Typically when customers are standing in a retail outlet with credit card in hand, ready to purchase, employees help them locate the product they are trying to buy and make a sale. Apparently this is not the GameStop business model. I tried to purchase a game for X-Box 360 at this location and was told it was not available. I asked if they could tell me where I might be able to buy this game. They were not willing to check another store location to see if the game could be purchased. Apparently employees at individual GameStop stores do not understand that their entire function is to enable consumers to purchase products. Pretty funny since I just heard an article one NPR this morning stating that video game sales are down 8% this year. I guess GameStop has plenty of sales - at least I hope they do since I went across the street and bought the game for $5 less at Best Buy. I will not be making future purchases at GameStop.

Denial of promised pre-order item
About a week ago I went into a Gamestop to pick up a pre-ordered game, expecting the usual stuff; the disc, case, and a little code that allows you to download some special costume for the game on the PS3. After eagerly sitting down and playing the game for a bit, I realized there was no code to be found. After discussing this with a friend who got the same game under the same conditions from the same Gamestop, he told me that the code should be on the receipt. After scanning it for god knows how long there was none to be found. So naturally I went to the store to ask if I could simply get one.
The employee denied ANY claims that the code was for the PS3, and I spent around 10 minutes arguing with him, even showing a print out of the pre-order offer from their website that promised a code for the costume. Deciding that I didn't want to make a big scene I calmly told him that I would settle this with a DA or manager at a later date. Hearing this, he laughed at me while I left the store and told me to "Go to hell".
Thankfully I received the code from a much nicer employee that a friend of mine knew, but SERIOUSLY? This service isn't something I should expect because Im a courteous customer.

Misinforming Customer and Laughing at Them
I walked into Gamestop in Hoboken, NJ on Sunday night to inquire about a game that was being released on Tuesday. I spoke to the customer service rep. and he said that they were going to have tons of them in stock on Tuesday. I went by the store on Tuesday and they said (2) copies were sold and (2) were on reserve and they had no others. I became slightly angered and as I was leaving they were laughing at me for no apparent reason other than I got a little angered. The stores members are inconsiderate and do not care about their customers.
Also, when I try to complain to corporate, there is no online form and every time I tried calling it kept saying that all customer service representatives were busy and they could not accept my call. What kind of busch league company is this?

Gamestop - Customer Service
I preordered two copies of Starcraft 2 in April. My order status page was updated to reflect the shipping of the items with an included USPS tracking number. Throughout the next week, I made numerous calls to Gamestop to verify the item was shipped since my personal tracking of the item always yielded "There is no record of this item." I was told after 15 business days from the date of shipment, I can request a refund; which I did. After I finish my phone call being told that I will receive a refund on my credit card within 3-5 business days, I think all is well. Now I have an email that was sent to me with documentation that must be filled out stating that I didn't receive the shipment. Unfortunately, the stupid affidavit documentation REQUIRES a notary which is a complete waste of my time and expense over a sub-$100 purchase. I called customer service again offering to sign the documentation WITHOUT a notary and they refuse. Apparently my only option remaining is to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I will NEVER be ordering from Gamestop again.

Gamestop cheats for sales!
Gamestop cheats their way to get sales. In Downtown San Diego, CA there is a big mall called Horton Plaza. I work in this mall at Sam Goody, which we also sell games. I like my job, I work hard to sell things, and take pride in what I do. Gamestop is not far from my store. Sam Goody and Gamestop are the only two places in Downtown San Diego to buy video games.
Well I had heard stories of the associates at Gamestop talking crap about our business, and telling them not to go to Sam Goody to buy/sell/pre-order their games. So I decided to go do some recon before I had to go to work one day, and sure enough, as I was pretending to browse around I heard the associate tell a customer not to shop at Sam Goody as if it was part of his "And have a nice day". I am very outraged with this act because with the economy the way it is, it is unfair for a business to do something deliberate to try and ruin another company. It is very immature and a scum bag thing to do.
It's like, dude honestly? You seriously have to cheat to make sales? We are a much larger store than them and I can guarentee we make more than triple of what they make daily. If we wanted to we could do the same thing right back to them and it could most likely result in shutting them down. But there's a little thing we call integrity. And if any Gamestop employee reads this, well my advice to you is look up the word I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y.
Think about it, they can't even make sales for themselves without cheating. HA-HA grow up guys!

Customer Service
I went to my local Gamestop to trade in a game against an 18 rated game. As soon as i attempted to buy it the guy says " your not 18", i replied "yes I am", he then says "your not", in an arrogant tone. I showed my ID, he accepts it. The other worker then says "bet you feel good about that", which i shrug in agreement and he says "there's no need to feel embarrassed by it".
I said "I don't feel embarrassed, he's the one who should feel embarrassed", to which he replied "I don't feel embarrassed, you don't look 18, you look about 12".
He was put firmly in his place, but yet his arrogance still prevailed. This was then followed by him trying to find a way out of letting me get the discount on the traded game, which he couldn't do either. I left the shop insulted and annoyed I didn't ask for the manager.

False Advertisement
The new xbox 360 comes onto the market & I immediately went to reserve one for myself or pre-order. I head there on Thursday or Friday and put a 50.00$ deposit down to get mine as soon as they come in. The employee tells me I will be getting it Monday or Tuesday & the latest by Wednesday, & they will give me a call as soon as they come in, I also recall them saying I was #10 on the reserve list. Naturally I am excited to get my new console as soon as possible.
The weekend goes by & my anticipation is growing to get the new xbox 360 that everybody has been ranting over. Monday comes & I do not receive a call. Tuesday rolls around and I wait for a call until about 1:00 pm. then I give them a call & they say there still in transport 4-6 days in transport, & they only received a total shipment of four on Monday. Wednesday my anticipation has come & gone, it's around 2:30 pm. & still no call, I call them up and ask if they have received a shipment of brand new xbox 360, I also state I reserved a copy & that I was supposed to be getting a call about my console latest by Wednesday, the employee "Alex" immediately says no & shrugs it off then says that's sounds about right, having no idea what I said probably not even paying attention to what I am saying. I did not even want to deal with him because from how he handled it he seemed as though he had the IQ of a pee. I head to the Gamestop location in Stevenson Ranch, California to trade in my two game titles with the deal for 40 titles are 25.00$ for a trade-in, as I am in the process of trading my games in I ask a women employee helping me, I also am wondering have you guys recently gotten any new Xbox 360's In and she goes into the backroom to check & I see atleast 20 new xbox 360 consoles on the shelves, she then comes out with the "last one". I then proceed to ask & tell them I reserved mine & pre-ordered it why was I not notified that they were in, but the employees at gamestop must not have finished jr.high because they could not even comprehend sentences to come up with a excuse.
Not only does this happen but I have to now drive back home to get my xbox 360 even though I called to ask if they were in stock. When I return they totally botch and screw my returns up by 25.00-50.00$ the deal of the xbox 360 is located right here http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/xb360250trade/default.aspx On my receipt the wireless controller is only 14.03$ when it is supposed to be 25.00$ as well as my console including the controller is supposed to be 100.00$ trade in value but was only 85.00$ & then he tried to proceed to tell me that the 20g hard drive is not worth 30.00$ when it says right on the website 30$- trade in value, I specifically asked them to go onto the website & look but they would not, apparently gamestop employees do not even know there own specials going on. He then proceeded to try and tell me its a % of what I get which makes no sense at all, because I added it all up & I should have only paid 74.94$ instead of 98.94$.
This was such a disappointing experience I was so surprised how bad the service was at Gamestop it has never happened before & wont again because I wont be pre-ordering anything from there & or Gamestop again.

shady practices
I purchased a NEW PS3 game at gamestop just the other day, I got it home, and sat it down on a table. The next day, I install it on my PS3 and try to activate a code for free downloadable content. The code doesn't work. I then realize, that I never opened the package, they actually sold the open game to me, as though it were still new. I was busy talking with the staff about games and really didn't pay attention to what they put into the bag they handed me. I called the next day to tell them about the mistake they had made, and the guy on the phone tells me they did it intentionally and it is a common practice to sell opened games as new. He then tells me all the reasons they do this : theft, display, etc. I am fine with that if they want to sell them, but they could have at least let me make the decision on buying opened as new, or just getting something else. The manager was in the background telling him to tell me to wait a few more days, then call back. Yeah right! What if I had something come up or just forgot, Then I would have been past 7 days. So I told them I would see them after I got off work, they had a manager waiting for me about 3 hours later when I got there. He told me that most people are fine with buying opened as NEW, and tried many ways of telling me that I am overreacting and in a very low percentage of people who are "upset" about it. I wasn't upset, it was a matter of principle, If I opened the game, it is no longer NEW. If they do it, It is still NEW. I got my money back, and went to the Wal-Mart across the street, and purchased the game new. Yea, it cost me time and gasoline. Yea I had to wait in a line at an understaffed walmart, But in the end, I, the CUSTOMER, was satisfied. So, next time gamestop, just be cool enough to say "I am sorry, we are all out of the unopened new, would you still like to purchase the opened one?"

False advertising
I had ordered the new 250GB Hard Drive for the Xbox 360 on the website with the COUPON CODE: 25OFF. The code was 25% off any order over 100$ w/ free shipping. The code was ACCEPTED & I received a confirmation e-mail about my order and when it would be delivered.
I just received an e-mail that the order was canceled. I thought it may have been a server error so I tried to re-order it from the website, but the coupon code was no longer valid. I called Customer Service and they said it was a mistake to allow the coupon code to work and that they would not honor their own code. This falls under that a common type of FRAUD known as FALSE ADVERTISING. I asked to speak to the supervisor and he was no more help than a guy selling sand in a desert.
I just finished submitting a complaint through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in hopes of some form of resolution (honoring their code would be nice). If not, I will make it my mission to twitter/facebook/myspace this event to everyone I know about how GameStop does business. (shady like)
This is the first time that I have ever had a problem like this. I would bet that Amazon.com or Buy.com would be the first to apologize, take the hit by honoring it, and move on with life. Making me (the customer) happy and continuing to both ORDER from them; and recommending them to friends & family.
This is the LAST time I will ever deal with Gamestop at all (online or in stores). The fact that you can ALWAYS get it cheaper online at Amazon/Buy/Ebay; and you don't have to pay tax makes it superior. That and as you can see, Amazon doesn't honor their OWN CODES!...
