In my case, my girlfriend loved it. About the only game with an FPS control-style she can play. I only enjoyed the game because we played system-link co-op. I can understand not liking the game single player, or playing with strangers who might plop into your game for a couple minutes and...

Did you really buy Taco Bell Gift cards? I knew they had some non-Gamestop, non-Gaming gift cards now. What other restaurants/retailers do they offer?

Probably in a pile of Gamestop gift cards. I know whenever I trade in, I make them put each dollar on a separate card. I plan on filling a swimming pool so I may swim through my vast in-store credit wealth!

I think the issue here would be Gamestop acknowledging that they are selling potentially defective product. I suppose that on a cartridge, a label could be removed and the game still be fully functional, but it's hard for a DVD to look damaged yet playable, without testing the game. Maybe they...

Does anyone else get a wonderful sense of holiday joy, satisfaction, and yuletide spirit out of calling up Wii (now Wii-U) flippers from Craigslist and telling them that you are oh-so very interested in their $500 Wii - just need to meet up at X place at X time, then never going? Or am I the...

Theres a shuffleboard Wii u game??

The holiday return period should be in effect by then, if it is, you'd have until Jan. 15th to return it.

Here's what may have happened - Despite another poster claiming that if they just traded in your games, the computer would have automatically given you the 30%, and then the GS employee would be proven wrong, the employee could have done a sneaky little trick... The employee can key the...

Kinda off topic, but has anyone else gotten their hands on a demo Wii-U? My local Gamestop has one set up where their Wii used to be. Only playable demo was Rayman, however.

Yes, but cant apply that until launch day.

I could see that, like I said in my last post - basically, the computer system isn't going to stop an employee from taking too many orders. They can only shut down a specific preorder item overnight, not during the middle of the day, and not after a specific number of preorders.

I actually recall the day of the preorder more than the launch itself, mostly because we didn't manage it well. I remember all these people waiting before we opened, just to preorder the system. More people than we had preorders. For some stupid reason, we decided to let them all line up at...

I'm curious too. My store was allocated a certain number of Wii in Sept/October. We actually had a line just to preorder your Wii one morning in Sept/October, which is what I expected for Wii-U, and was surprised GS just took as many orders as it could throughout a couple of days.

Even if everything goes according to plan, such as your system being 1000% YOURS, no evil manager going rogue or Nintendo not sending out enough systems, etc. And even if you don't care about the "launch party" or being around like-minded gamers - there is still reason to be there, in line, for...

Haha. I have no idea what you're talking about! ;)

Let's say you arrive at 11:30, as we want you there to finalize things before midnight. When we finalize your transaction, we are ringing up your Wii-U, so we need the serial number at that time. MOST LIKELY, your Wii-U will not be staring at you in the face from behind the counter. It will...

Nintendo ships to stores using really high quality packaging. Xboxes came in the worst shipping material, and then Sony was in the middle. In the case of the Wii-U, if your take-home box is damaged, then it would be from the store employees doing some damage to it, not shipping. This gets...

I would choose either the midnight release, or early afternoon. At a midnight release, the employees want to go home just as much as you do. As an SM for Gamestop, I worked the midnight release, got home around 2AM, and typically had an early open the next day - opening the store at 9AM. So I...
