Slick Willy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Whats so bad about this? Gamestop pwns eb, the article reads that Gamestop will be the surviving name so hopefully that means they will have the same great service/selection that I've always seen. Also they'll most likely sell PC games/accesories. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/188688-gamestop-and-eb-merge/#findComment-2768120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2006rhs Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I have never been to a Gamespot retailer. The only places we have around where I live, That I know of, is normal shopping centers like Wal-Mart/K-mart and EB up at the Beaver Vally Mall(my local mall). I liked EB. I got all my games and sh*t there, so if gamespot is better in any area of service and selection I will be happy.

Digital Murders Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Gamestop>EB The only thing is that EB seems to have more of a variety, but it's all expensive as all f*ck.

Harlem Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Gamespot was overpriced compared to EB Games when I looked a few things last summer. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/188688-gamestop-and-eb-merge/#findComment-2768702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RearEndCollision Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I see this as being really good, because both Gamestop and EB have individual good points to themselves, so hopefully the good points of each will shine though.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 So where does this leave the EB we have in Australia? We don't have Gamestop at all so this could be interesting.

DexX Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 /* Eb and GameStop are the 2 predominant gamestore franchises in the US. By merging them into one, they pretty much have no major competition, and i dont like that. i was pissed years ago when Barnes and Noble bought Funco (Funcoland), because they completely commercialsed, and whored-out the stores. around here anyway. Now its all mainstream bullsh*t. I dunno, i worked at Gamestop for awhile, and we were in fierce competition with EB all the time, they were the enemy goddamit! gotta give EB credit though, they usually have a better selection yes, and more variety. */ Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/188688-gamestop-and-eb-merge/#findComment-2769482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slow Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I hate Gamestop with all my soul and love EB games. This sucks. I've never had a good experience with Gamestop, nor have many people down here. EB was so much better. They better not f*ck this up like the Tech TV G4 merge.

Hurricane5 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Wow, this is suprising, yet not really suprising. Gamestop has always been great to me, and believe me, we've done a lot of buisness. Simply a buisness move, to eliminate the main competition. Happens everyday.

Mario Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 am i the only person left who still buys their video games at walmart? Nope. Sims 2 University Expansion, only $29.99 retail. Represent.. or something. As far as the merge goes, that pretty much sucks. I hate Gamespot, I've had nothing but bad experiences with that damned store. Once they seemed to have 'lost' my preorder spot, twice have they been late sending games to me when ordered from them, and once they kept trying to get me to let them cut up my EB Plus card. EB is tons better, and they have tons more stuff. Not to mention I've bought about 80% of my DVD collection from EB, because they are that awesome.
