Today I went looking for a ps3 - I didn't buy one in the end, but I'll get to that later - And here's why I don't shop at Game (Vol.1)
I went in the and looked at the PS3 bundles on offer, and they were gooseberry fool (Well, the 80gb+MGS4 for £309.99 was pretty good).
Anyway, I must've looked clueless because some heavily pierced pink haired student fellow wandered over in a GAME polo shirt.
I was in safe hands, I could trust his knowledge of Games, Consoles and the industry.
He would truly guide me by the hand in my time of need, and use his wisdom of gaming to help me.
Here's what happened:
- HIM - "Hi there, do you need help with anything?"
- ME - "Oh, yeah. I'm currently looking around for any good PS3 bundles.. what are they like here"
He then goes through the motions of explaning the bundles before saying:
- HIM - "I personally don't like the PS3, I mean you can get all the games on the xbox for less money."
I agreed to an extent, but then replied with: - ME - "Aye, I'm just picking one up for the exclusives, I'm really looking forward to LBP."
- HIM - "Well, all the PS3 exclusives are coming to the 360 anyway. Haze is coming to 360, MGS4 is coming to 360, and MGS5 is going to be exclusive to 360"
I actually Sighed and Rolleyed at this point, and resisted facepalming.
So I play along, and fuel the fire some more:
- ME "Oh, right... I suppose the next generation of consoles'll be out within the next few years anyway..."
I could not make this next line up by the way: - HIM "Yeah! The next Xbox is going to be called the Xbox Zero! It might even be out next year!"
At this point I make my excuses and leave empty handed.
Employ some people who know things about games for strawberry floats sake.
It doesn't help that there's lots of new "casual" gamers coming into the market these days, and wankers like this aren't exactly going to be providing accurate advice for those without a clue.
And that is why I don't shop at Game (Vol.1)
