Funny how rob says it’s gonna bite you in the one day. Cause nowadays. The companies on fuckin life support with pop figures, figmas, merch all that cause online shopping is ending it’s life. It’s starting 😂
Tony Young I haven't been to a Gaystop in about 2 years and even back then, their shelves were littered with action figures, game related hats, wallets, and fucking apparel that aren't actual video game products. So glad that they're slowly dying, although it should've happened 10 years ago.
9:05 this sounds like the district manager i met when i visited my store. Out of curiosity was this at a Feasterville store in Pennsylvania? or anywhere near the Philadelphia/bucks County area?
TRUE STORY. Go to gamestop few months back. Ask for a GTA5 for xbox one, The worker says "Would you like this New or used" i say i would like a new one. She says "Your total will be $59.99" When i go to get the money from my wallet i look up and witness the most brutal thing ever. She opens a draw and pulls out a slip of paper with a "brand new" GTA5 in it, then she goes to a different draw and pulls out a gta 5 case, puts the disc in the case and says its new. I say "where is the plastic wrapping? why was it opened" she says "It came like that" never been there again after that.
I remember I had applied for GameStop because I was looking for a temporary part time job to make some money on the side and I got the call. The manager was a lady who was actually very kind and patient and chill. Definitely not the stereotype. Told me to meet her at the mall so she and another manager from a different GameStop could interview me. I showed up and realized there was 11 of us college kids/ high schoolers in the middle of the food court for this 'interview'. I swear to god the manager from the other store lined us all up and made us knock each other out of the hiring process reality-show style. First we had to sing Christmas carols as loud as we could in the middle of October in the packed food court. The quieter ones were called out and sent home. Then, they had us take chairs from a vacant table and move them to the table they were at. I'm not the type to shove others and I'm not very competitive so my name got called at this point and he sent me on the way. HOWEVER, the female manager used her 'save' on me and gave me the job anyways. I felt pretty shitty during all of this because normal people shouldn't be treated this way just for a minimum wage job. Like, I work with adults with special needs all day, give them meds and bathe them and cook for them and then I get treated like some contestant on a reality show? Completely fucked up situation.
Selling everything on the internet is way better than trading in shit to GameStop. I've sold my old Xbox 360 for 100 bucks outside a GameStop because they only wanted to give me 50 bucks for the system. I walked out and said yes sure. Outside some guy who was inside and heard me approached me about selling it and I said I'll give it to you for 100 cash..... Sold. Any business I can take away from gamesstop makes me smile.
Zykes finally found a switch at best buy...i went to gamestop to get an extra charger and pro controller ...boxes of all kinds of accessories for the switch all they had was a pro controller a 3rd party wall charger and a micro sd card... she said 185 dollars...i straight laughed my ass off and said fuck that 100 dollar microSD card i can get one that size next door at walmart for 30 bux... still tge fuckun charger and oro controller alone after tax codt me 111 and some change .... i am ganna brag about the pro controller ...the battery life is insane ...and those thumbsticks feel straight like wipin your ass with silk
At one point he says that gamestop has to sell pre-ordered copies to people who didn't preorder. I was one of those people who came in without pre-ordering and got a copy of halo 3 on launch day. I could tell people were pissed.
That crap still happens till this day. What GameStop love's to do is. Let's say they have 100 copies coming to that store of a particular game. One is they will over reserve the game like putting down 150+ reserves when they know they won't receive that many copies. And the other thing they will do is hand out game's to any random person who wants to buy said game. Even if they know they have people who have a copy reserved. But haven't picked it up yet. And if you go to pick up that reserved game , But they don't have any because they sold your reserved copy. They'll say how about we slide that $5-10 reserve fee over to a different game.🤦 Why? So you can do this 💩 again!
there was one good thing that I did to actually rip off gamestop, when they had there buy two get on free sale i would go in and buy two games that cost the same price and get a third one that cost the same amount for free. then i went back a few hours later, returned the two game I paid for and did the same thing but got a game that i had just returned for free. After that i just did it a ton of time in that same store for a basically the whole day and the employees couldn't do anything about it because i wasn't breaking any rules.
My first switch had water damage in the speakers Wouldn't turn on Had the warranty which didn't cover water damage? On a portable console? 😅 Lied and said it was sun damage Guy bought it, gave me a new switch, I bought another warranty for 50$, and went on my merry way They gave me 25$ In 2011 for my first ps2, 4 oem controllers, and 4 shoeboxes full of games They can rot for all I care 😅
That's really unfortunate, sorry you got hosed man. I am about to get out of the Army and I got a job offer from gamestop as a store manager. I never disrespected my Soldiers while I was in uniform and I assure you I won't treat my employees that way either. Your video was really helpful, thanks for posting.
I've actually never been in a GameStop. Once I went off to college (circa 2004), I just started ordering everything online via Amazon. I never bothered to go out and purchase games anymore. Evidently, I dodged a bullet.
gamestop is the real world equivalent of rpg merchants. accidentally sold that spell tome for 25 septims? you can buy it back for the low price of 360 septims!
I think the last time I went to Gamestop was to buy Silent Hill 3...which at the time it was like a 6 year old game and someone looked like they wiped their ass with it...30 dollars.
The last time I went to GameStop, I happened to ask if they were doing a midnight opening for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Time will march forward... Civilizations will rise and fall... Inevitably the sun will expand and engulf our planet... but Silent Rob's "Ultimate GameStop Rant" will live on forever. You can't fuck with it, nor can you reason with it. Legendary. Hilarious and so truthful! When GameStop goes out of business, this needs to be a mandatory broadcast all over the earth.
The biggest reason why I stopped going to gamestop was the extreme pressure to buy nonsense that the employees are forced to say. When I went there, I just wanted to browse for games I wanted to buy, and I would sometimes try to avoid being seen so that I'm not pestered into buying/renewing my magazines and a power rewards card. Thank god for Best Buy's gamer's club membership!
I stopped buying and trading used games at GameStop almost 6 years ago. They screw over their customers and make it look like you're 'saving' money with their rewards system.
How is it that walmart is selling a copy of left for dead 2 for 14 dollars. I just picked this up on christmas eve yet when i go to gamestop its 29.99. Thats some shadey shit
I know right?,they wanted to give me €2 and resell it for €25 (which was their used price for the game CoD Ghosts). The game is being traded a lot and w/e i know but at least give me %50 of the selling price,ended up selling it elsewhere for €20.
I’ve watched this probably 10 times over the years and it’s great. The thing is, this is not an issue unique to GameStop. After 25+ years of working for other people, I finally started my own business. Point is, I’ve worked for a few businesses both small and large, and this is exactly how I’ve been treated every place I’ve worked at. I’m not the only one, either. This is precisely why we’re having this crisis today where people don’t want to “work” anymore, but really it’s more like people are fed up with being treated like replaceable cattle. I totally get it, and I’m glad people are finally standing up for themselves. I hope I’ll never have to work for someone another day in my life because it’s miserable, from the smallest private owned businesses right up to the GameStops.

Gamestop interview Interviewer: How good are you at customer service? Guy applying: What's that? Interviewer *Reaches out to shake hand* Welcome to gamestop!
Honestly, I nearly fucking lost it when I heard about the 5 year old kid. That is just unbelievably disgusting and cruel. GameStop can go straight to fucking hell.
the Crazzen Chicken Yeah pre-ordering a title isn't too bad of an idea if it's executed properly & you can pick up the title whenever you want within reason. The real problem is when those assholes sell your copy to someone else.
+amari hunter Welcome to 2015 where everything is going digital. Trust me they WILL go out of business, that is inevitable. I've seen you defend them a few times in the comments, are you a manager? Because no one after listening to this video could defend game stop. This isn't the only person telling the truth about game stop either, game stop is cancer.
+Flanker Spanker That's the only game store i know (other than superstores like Target, Walmart and Bestbuy). But still. Are they any other game stores out there i should know about?
I miss funcoland. Loved all the nintnedo games they would let you play. Then they changed it to Gamestop and all the systems that used to be set up to play went away. Also worked at Gamestop. Hated it. Crazy how bad we got treated.
had to watch in disbelief as youtube put a pre-order ad for gamestop at the beginning of your video. LOL The last game I purchased at Gamestop was need for speed, ended up the key had already been used (I know it was either played by an employee or it was a used game) sold as new. Was such BULLSHIT.
GameStop is actually starting to die out. People are getting sick of it. We're selling games off Ebay and downloading them during sales. Give it a few years. GameStop is fucked.
I live in the UK so GameStop is not very common but fuck those guys! I've worked at a local independent game store and it was the best job I've ever had. -My boss was a very nice guy, Great to talk to and was VERY knowledgeable on games and consoles. -Never hassled customers if they wanted to pre-order games or try to sell them unneeded games -I could borrow and play any games I want but they HAD to be pre-owned, NOT new. (Borrowed a pre-owned copy of Advance Warfare, Glad I didn't pay for it) - We fully tested out consoles, Checked to see if it read the disc, the disc tray would open, All items were there such as controllers, TV leads, Power leads etc and they was in an acceptable condition (We refused a PS3 because it was so dusty, covered in ashes from cigarette smoke. Smelt horrible as well) -Any spare promo items for games that we had, We either gave them away to regular customers or sold them and give the money to charity. I could go on and on but if you any questions or would like to know some stores, Feel free to ask me!
I have to post a video of my xbox 360, you would never guess it still works. It's ten yrs old and anytime I turned it on it would cut out after 20 minutes and say "over heating, wait for your system too cool" I had to rip off the side panels etc. and it had so much dust it looked like a wig.
+la dodgers 4 life Anyway if you seen a before and after you would think it was in better working condition before I ripped it apart, but it actually runs perfectly now. but looking at it looks like it's been put through a car crushed lmao.
I never knew any of this was going on within Gamestop's corporation. I have supported them for awhile now. I will now look more into there business and how they treat customers.
Well this video was made in or before 2012. Trust me, they've gotten a lot better since then but there's still a lot of room for improvement. The staff will actually look up your PowerUp card if you don't have it on you, trade in prices are a little better, and you even get nice bonuses on trading in certain games on certain dates. I traded in my old 2011 copy of Skyrim when the legendary editiou came out and got 20% off my copy of it.
Vince Crowe u know why they're getting better? cause digital download is becoming more and more popular. And it is something that can put gamestop out of business like netflix and red box took out blockbuster stores. So of course they got better. They're trying to kiss ur ass hoping u continue to shop at gamestop. Fuck gamestop. i don't care how much they improved. Screwing customers and employees over even once is one too many times
When the Xbox one was coming out I went into town and tried to preorder it . I already hated Game(UK version) so tried other places first but couldn't get it so went into Game and asked if I could preorder it they said I couldn't get it on release but I could get it on the second wave of shipping which was like a week later after release. So thinking I had no other option I grudgingly gave them £40!!! to preorder it along with a friend. So we left town and thought about going to the retail park on the edge of town and see if we could get it there on release day. So went into Asda(UK Walmart) and got a preorder straight away for like £5...AWESOME ! So we went back to town only having been away 30 minutes tops went into Game and told them I wanted to cancel my £40 preorder along with my friend who also preordered it so £80 altogether. But they refused !!!! Saying it was against their policy !! Which I told them I didn't give a flying fuck about THEIR policy the Uk has strict retail laws that supercead their stupid company policies. But they wouldn't give in !! It was fucking insane !! So after some heated debate I had to threaten to call the police !! Though I knew they technically couldn't really do anything as it's a civil matter. But they wouldn't give in till I was literally on the phone to the police !!
I would recommend ordering it on PlayStation Store/ Xbox Store/Steam cause you always get it trust me I've preorder tons of games and they always come in I always get games digital
my buddy and I just were forced to go to the midnight release of the new WWE because they called him and latterly told him if he didn't come get it at midnight he wasn't getting it. and he fucking had the full game paid
black jack What's even sadder is that those wwe 2k games are usually pretty shitty/predictable year after year. 2K14 was decent, I guess, but it was still slow compared to the older late 90s/early 2000s wrestling games.
Rob is right I sold them a PS3 that wouldn't read discs. They only checked if it came on. So I sold it then went back the next day and used that money towards a new PS3. If they would have checked it I wouldn't have got shit.
I’m here because GameStop currently has a “pay $20 less for a new game when you trade in eligible games” offer and even though my game (RDR2) is on the list of eligible games, when I’ve gone to two different GameStops to buy BO4 while trading in RDR2, they still charge the full price of the game (minus the trade-in value of RDR2). Absolute scam of a company.
Joseph Moeslein I'm a GA and have unfairly been passed up for SGA multiple times. I'm Great at my job and WELL qualified to be an SGA hell even an ASM at this point. And I've tried to talk to my DM multiple times and he has convineintly avoided talking to me each time. The only employees who are treated well or listened to are ASM and SM. As a matter of fact, there is a competition going on to push Destiny expansion pass pre-orders. The highest attach rate store gets 1000 dollars...for the ASM...the SM got both a PS4 and XB1 for free. And you are telling me that they aren't the only ones who are cared about. I got a merit raise. as soon as the minimum wage went up my merit raise went bye bye and was told to be happy it went up. That's just a little bit of the issues GameStop has. I'm not sure if you are just asking, or literally being an ass, but GameStop is literally one of the worst companies EVER to work for.
I brought a brand new copy of a game in to sell a couple years ago that was still in the wrapping. They offered $10 and it cost me $60 but I accidentally bought 2 so I figured to sell one. Needless to say i laughed when they offered me $10
One time I got a used copy of Metroid Prime GC for like 3 bucks around 2010 when they were trying to desperately get rid of older stuff. That is the only remotely good thing I can say about GameShaft. One time, I was apparently high or something, and wanted to sell a sealed copy of Mario Kart Wii. They were like "No receipt, we no buy, but we'll give you 50 cents for that steering wheel" and I was like "Ok." Then I went back to the car and mom was like "Y defuq u do that, get it back, the ADD kiddos won't buy the game without the wheel." So I went back and was like "Ok, so I made a mistake, could I please get that wheel back, here's them 50 cents." and naturally they were like "Naw lads, I've already entered it into the system." So we had to buy some bizarro third party wheel peripheral for 5 bucks and eventually sold Mario Kart Wii along with it. And by "No, we've entered it into the system" they mean "Literally against store policy, and also I'm lazy."
shortly after the 360 came out I got a used one from gamestop cause I was poor. I got the warranty just in case. First time I tried it, it was really loud. Then it stopped reading discs. I took it back and was told they didn't do in house repairs so I'd have to ship it to Microsoft. I contacted them and they jerked me around so bad I gave up. I still have it. If you tap the top it'll still work sometimes. On the plus side it has a ton of great games on the hard drive. Great video man.
JP Vielleux Consider your 360 a bit luckier than mine; I got a slim black 360 and that piece of shite stopped working after just a couple of months. I got so sick of it that ended up buying a slim PS3 instead, and even the gay ass PS3 is also barely reading discs anymore unless I tilt it on a 55 degree angle.
based on what youre saying, its no wonder they're basically dead in 2022, because theyre losing people who know about games, and being left with the people who either don't get paid enough to care, or they dont know anything about what theyre doing
Mr.SmithGNR Smith you put “smh” at the end of that... what, can’t be bothered to actually write out “shaking my head”? Go see a doctor about that stick up your ass
my local gamestop had the privilege of having the worst customer service ever. when the xbox one headphone jack controller came out i went to gamestop to buy one, on this day the manager was working (every time hes there i know i am not going to get what i want) i walked up to the counter and asked him for one of the controllers (all the new headphone jack controllers were on the shelf behind him) he looked at me and said “thoes dont exist” i looked at him and said thats it behind you and pointed to the controllers, he turned around looked at them then laughed in my face for about 5 mins, i asked them if i could get the controller and he said we dont have them. that was my last time at that store before it had to close
This rant reminds me of Walmart. Organized the same way with. 40 cent raise a year, and they don't even have to give it to you if they don't think you've done a good enough job in their eyes.
+Jeremie N well you heard what he said about here in United States so yeah. Just never shop at GameStop if you get a chance to come her and you'll be fine.
I remember buying a PSN card, and the GS employee asked what I was gonna buy. I told him, "Digital Devil Saga". Turns out that he was surprised that a kid like me was into the Shin Megami Tensei series. The guy was cool and he recommended a few RPGs.
I'm sorry, but who lets their 5 year old kid be alone and do a business transaction? Wtf. Don't get me wrong, GameStop sucks, but that dad was an idiot.
I called gamestop a few months ago about trading in my ps4 and they offered me €200, and that was including fifa 17, battlefield 1, cod IW with remastered, cod bo3, rainbow six siege and gta v and alot of other games with two controllers in perfect condition. Ended up selling it online for €450. I swear they just make up the prices.
this should be conserved in the library of congress

True. Downloadable games are decimating GameStop's profit margins. Pretty soon they'll be going the way of Sears.

You can't fuck with it, nor can you reason with it. Legendary. Hilarious and so truthful! When GameStop goes out of business, this needs to be a mandatory broadcast all over the earth.
Game stop employee: "You're trading Sonic the hedgehog, I'll just put that €5.50 toward the price of Super Mario...... AAAAAANNNNDD ITS GONE!"
Dick Superior I know this is an old comment but I shit myself laughing at this
This video has aged well. 🍷🍷
The biggest reason why I stopped going to gamestop was the extreme pressure to buy nonsense that the employees are forced to say. When I went there, I just wanted to browse for games I wanted to buy, and I would sometimes try to avoid being seen so that I'm not pestered into buying/renewing my magazines and a power rewards card.
Thank god for Best Buy's gamer's club membership!
I stopped buying and trading used games at GameStop almost 6 years ago. They screw over their customers and make it look like you're 'saving' money with their rewards system.
How is it that walmart is selling a copy of left for dead 2 for 14 dollars. I just picked this up on christmas eve yet when i go to gamestop its 29.99. Thats some shadey shit
I know right?,they wanted to give me €2 and resell it for €25 (which was their used price for the game CoD Ghosts).
The game is being traded a lot and w/e i know but at least give me %50 of the selling price,ended up selling it elsewhere for €20.
Its crookee
Crooked
Still listening in 2023! Silent Rob is the best rant UA-camr hands down
I've listened to this a thousand times and laugh everytime
256 people are GameStop managers.
259 as of now.

Idk why but this rant is funny asf
You sound a lot like Proto Mario
I’ve watched this probably 10 times over the years and it’s great. The thing is, this is not an issue unique to GameStop. After 25+ years of working for other people, I finally started my own business. Point is, I’ve worked for a few businesses both small and large, and this is exactly how I’ve been treated every place I’ve worked at. I’m not the only one, either. This is precisely why we’re having this crisis today where people don’t want to “work” anymore, but really it’s more like people are fed up with being treated like replaceable cattle. I totally get it, and I’m glad people are finally standing up for themselves. I hope I’ll never have to work for someone another day in my life because it’s miserable, from the smallest private owned businesses right up to the GameStops.
Many big businesses do this shit with their employees
Your profile pic makes this comment all the more awesome.

Gamestop interview
Interviewer: How good are you at customer service?
Guy applying: What's that?
Interviewer *Reaches out to shake hand* Welcome to gamestop!
Good one
Honestly, I nearly fucking lost it when I heard about the 5 year old kid. That is just unbelievably disgusting and cruel. GameStop can go straight to fucking hell.
If i wanna FUCK that ps3, IM GONNA FUCK THAT PS3!!! 😂 comedy gold
the only reason I'll pre order a game is because I'm really bad at budgeting my money and I'll put 10$ on it every other week till it's payed off
the Crazzen Chicken Yeah pre-ordering a title isn't too bad of an idea if it's executed properly & you can pick up the title whenever you want within reason. The real problem is when those assholes sell your copy to someone else.
😂🤣😂🤣😂 “If I wanna fuck that PS3 I’ll FUCK that PS3!!!!” Haha best line ever!!!
I can't wait for GameStop to go out if business
Flanker Spanker they're on their way, don't worry.
Flanker Spanker With Sony and Micro requiring all games must have a digital release, they will.
There far from it
+amari hunter Welcome to 2015 where everything is going digital. Trust me they WILL go out of business, that is inevitable. I've seen you defend them a few times in the comments, are you a manager? Because no one after listening to this video could defend game stop. This isn't the only person telling the truth about game stop either, game stop is cancer.
+Flanker Spanker That's the only game store i know (other than superstores like Target, Walmart and Bestbuy). But still. Are they any other game stores out there i should know about?
the customer service at my local gamestop is actually good but the prices are awful
I suprised Gamestop is still around.
I was blasting this video while inside of a GameStop
How did that turn out?
thetoonman all of them looked at me without saying anything and then I just walked out
I desperately want Undercover Boss to do a Gamestop episode
John Cisney the CEO is just as greedy. He's the reason GameStop is the way it is..
27:45 I know that gamestop has a "machine" that would shrink wrap used copies again.
Fucking lost it at the bugs part. good stories man LMAO.
I miss funcoland. Loved all the nintnedo games they would let you play. Then they changed it to Gamestop and all the systems that used to be set up to play went away. Also worked at Gamestop. Hated it. Crazy how bad we got treated.
More reasons to support the independent game stores.
had to watch in disbelief as youtube put a pre-order ad for gamestop at the beginning of your video. LOL
The last game I purchased at Gamestop was need for speed, ended up the key had already been used (I know it was either played by an employee or it was a used game) sold as new.
Was such BULLSHIT.
GameStop is actually starting to die out. People are getting sick of it. We're selling games off Ebay and downloading them during sales.
Give it a few years. GameStop is fucked.
HighSkiez My mom just showed me an article the other day showing GS close down 400 stores nationwide!
Fax GameStop is completely over now
“If I wanna fuck that ps3 I’m going to fuck that ps3” legendary shit🤣 been watching this from time to time since I was 11-12 I’m 22 now💯
I live in the UK so GameStop is not very common but fuck those guys! I've worked at a local independent game store and it was the best job I've ever had.
-My boss was a very nice guy, Great to talk to and was VERY knowledgeable on games and consoles.
-Never hassled customers if they wanted to pre-order games or try to sell them unneeded games
-I could borrow and play any games I want but they HAD to be pre-owned, NOT new. (Borrowed a pre-owned copy of Advance Warfare, Glad I didn't pay for it)
- We fully tested out consoles, Checked to see if it read the disc, the disc tray would open, All items were there such as controllers, TV leads, Power leads etc and they was in an acceptable condition (We refused a PS3 because it was so dusty, covered in ashes from cigarette smoke. Smelt horrible as well)
-Any spare promo items for games that we had, We either gave them away to regular customers or sold them and give the money to charity.
I could go on and on but if you any questions or would like to know some stores, Feel free to ask me!
We certainly do! If you have an indie store near by, Go to it. Get to know the staff and support them!
GAME is just like GameStop in a way you know...
And why need a ID to buy a M and 16 rated game? WHY?!
I have to post a video of my xbox 360, you would never guess it still works.
It's ten yrs old and anytime I turned it on it would cut out after 20 minutes and say
"over heating, wait for your system too cool"
I had to rip off the side panels etc. and it had so much dust it looked like a wig.
+la dodgers 4 life Anyway if you seen a before and after you would think it was in better working condition before I ripped it apart, but it actually runs perfectly now.
but looking at it looks like it's been put through a car crushed lmao.
I never knew any of this was going on within Gamestop's corporation. I have supported them for awhile now. I will now look more into there business and how they treat customers.
Well this video was made in or before 2012. Trust me, they've gotten a lot better since then but there's still a lot of room for improvement. The staff will actually look up your PowerUp card if you don't have it on you, trade in prices are a little better, and you even get nice bonuses on trading in certain games on certain dates. I traded in my old 2011 copy of Skyrim when the legendary editiou came out and got 20% off my copy of it.
Vince Crowe u know why they're getting better? cause digital download is becoming more and more popular. And it is something that can put gamestop out of business like netflix and red box took out blockbuster stores. So of course they got better. They're trying to kiss ur ass hoping u continue to shop at gamestop. Fuck gamestop. i don't care how much they improved. Screwing customers and employees over even once is one too many times
When the Xbox one was coming out I went into town and tried to preorder it . I already hated Game(UK version) so tried other places first but couldn't get it so went into Game and asked if I could preorder it they said I couldn't get it on release but I could get it on the second wave of shipping which was like a week later after release. So thinking I had no other option I grudgingly gave them £40!!! to preorder it along with a friend.
So we left town and thought about going to the retail park on the edge of town and see if we could get it there on release day. So went into Asda(UK Walmart) and got a preorder straight away for like £5...AWESOME !
So we went back to town only having been away 30 minutes tops went into Game and told them I wanted to cancel my £40 preorder along with my friend who also preordered it so £80 altogether. But they refused !!!! Saying it was against their policy !! Which I told them I didn't give a flying fuck about THEIR policy the Uk has strict retail laws that supercead their stupid company policies. But they wouldn't give in !! It was fucking insane !! So after some heated debate I had to threaten to call the police !! Though I knew they technically couldn't really do anything as it's a civil matter. But they wouldn't give in till I was literally on the phone to the police !!
I'm kinda scared to preorder Horizon Zero Dawn at GameStop after watching this
I would recommend ordering it
on PlayStation Store/ Xbox Store/Steam cause you always get it trust me I've preorder tons of games and they always come in I always get games digital
"GameStop is a worldwide place like Starbucks."
When you go to Singapore and you can't find a single GameStop but StarBucks all around.
Gamestop is only located in America I think
they're fucking everywhere in the US, like starbucks. They can be across the damn street from each other.
***** I once went to a Mall in North Carolina that had two of them.
Crammananne
I should go to Singapore.
conduit122 Unless you're a white male, don't. They worship white maleboxes.
My heart genuinely aches for that little kid who only got $3 for his games
To this day this is the best gamestop rant the video that started it all
I like how GameStop says "power to the management." wait, "players".
my buddy and I just were forced to go to the midnight release of the new WWE because they called him and latterly told him if he didn't come get it at midnight he wasn't getting it. and he fucking had the full game paid
wow that's fucked up
black jack they did the same thing to me with GTA V. It was fully paid off.
black jack What's even sadder is that those wwe 2k games are usually pretty shitty/predictable year after year. 2K14 was decent, I guess, but it was still slow compared to the older late 90s/early 2000s wrestling games.
Rob is right I sold them a PS3 that wouldn't read discs. They only checked if it came on. So I sold it then went back the next day and used that money towards a new PS3. If they would have checked it I wouldn't have got shit.
good for you. fuck em!
what if you buy the same ps3 or some else's shitty ps3? I get what you are trying to do but they win no matter what. evil genius
I’m here because GameStop currently has a “pay $20 less for a new game when you trade in eligible games” offer and even though my game (RDR2) is on the list of eligible games, when I’ve gone to two different GameStops to buy BO4 while trading in RDR2, they still charge the full price of the game (minus the trade-in value of RDR2). Absolute scam of a company.
This isn’t a GameStop rant, this is a retail rant 💯
I currently work with gamestop and i can't agree more about everything you say!!!!! GAMESTOP IS THE FREAKING WORST!!!!
LeisureSuitGaming2
i will say one thing though...it's gotten far worse
Make your video
I will!!!! There is a lot that needs to be said
PBJezGOUD oh you do are you a GA SGA or what ? Maybe you should contact ur DM if u hate your job
Joseph Moeslein I'm a GA and have unfairly been passed up for SGA multiple times. I'm Great at my job and WELL qualified to be an SGA hell even an ASM at this point. And I've tried to talk to my DM multiple times and he has convineintly avoided talking to me each time. The only employees who are treated well or listened to are ASM and SM. As a matter of fact, there is a competition going on to push Destiny expansion pass pre-orders. The highest attach rate store gets 1000 dollars...for the ASM...the SM got both a PS4 and XB1 for free. And you are telling me that they aren't the only ones who are cared about. I got a merit raise. as soon as the minimum wage went up my merit raise went bye bye and was told to be happy it went up. That's just a little bit of the issues GameStop has. I'm not sure if you are just asking, or literally being an ass, but GameStop is literally one of the worst companies EVER to work for.
I brought a brand new copy of a game in to sell a couple years ago that was still in the wrapping. They offered $10 and it cost me $60 but I accidentally bought 2 so I figured to sell one. Needless to say i laughed when they offered me $10
This video will be here after GameStop goes extinct.
One time I got a used copy of Metroid Prime GC for like 3 bucks around 2010 when they were trying to desperately get rid of older stuff.
That is the only remotely good thing I can say about GameShaft.
One time, I was apparently high or something, and wanted to sell a sealed copy of Mario Kart Wii. They were like "No receipt, we no buy, but we'll give you 50 cents for that steering wheel" and I was like "Ok." Then I went back to the car and mom was like "Y defuq u do that, get it back, the ADD kiddos won't buy the game without the wheel." So I went back and was like "Ok, so I made a mistake, could I please get that wheel back, here's them 50 cents." and naturally they were like "Naw lads, I've already entered it into the system."
So we had to buy some bizarro third party wheel peripheral for 5 bucks and eventually sold Mario Kart Wii along with it.
And by "No, we've entered it into the system" they mean "Literally against store policy, and also I'm lazy."
shortly after the 360 came out I got a used one from gamestop cause I was poor. I got the warranty just in case. First time I tried it, it was really loud. Then it stopped reading discs. I took it back and was told they didn't do in house repairs so I'd have to ship it to Microsoft. I contacted them and they jerked me around so bad I gave up. I still have it. If you tap the top it'll still work sometimes. On the plus side it has a ton of great games on the hard drive. Great video man.
JP Vielleux Consider your 360 a bit luckier than mine; I got a slim black 360 and that piece of shite stopped working after just a couple of months. I got so sick of it that ended up buying a slim PS3 instead, and even the gay ass PS3 is also barely reading discs anymore unless I tilt it on a 55 degree angle.
based on what youre saying, its no wonder they're basically dead in 2022, because theyre losing people who know about games, and being left with the people who either don't get paid enough to care, or they dont know anything about what theyre doing
GameStop has pretty much turned into a toy store now.
:( the little kid story tho
Ikr
Edgar Joel Boricua ...tho?? Is that the cool kid way to spell?? Can't be bothered actually spelling words correctly now can we....smh
Mr.SmithGNR Smith you put “smh” at the end of that... what, can’t be bothered to actually write out “shaking my head”? Go see a doctor about that stick up your ass
it's so funny and sad lmaoo. It even seems like the commentator is about to cry also
He got screwed over big time.
They buy low and sell high, what a shocker...
business
@@LarryRaNelson who are you
This is easily one of Rob's best reviews that he ever did. :) Everything in it is 100% truth.
This isn't every part. Rob getting punched is missing.
One of the best videos of all time.
my local gamestop had the privilege of having the worst customer service ever. when the xbox one headphone jack controller came out i went to gamestop to buy one, on this day the manager was working (every time hes there i know i am not going to get what i want) i walked up to the counter and asked him for one of the controllers (all the new headphone jack controllers were on the shelf behind him) he looked at me and said “thoes dont exist” i looked at him and said thats it behind you and pointed to the controllers, he turned around looked at them then laughed in my face for about 5 mins, i asked them if i could get the controller and he said we dont have them. that was my last time at that store before it had to close
Gamestop's decline brings me joy. I imagine they'll be endangered if not extinct within the next 5-10 years at this rate.
Certified hood classic
19:24: Man that comment pretty much aged well since now Gamestop is pretty much falling apart.
That was the fucking best rant ever keep it up
Id give the kid money to get another good one.
One of the classics. This is the video that got me subbed to the legend
This rant reminds me of Walmart. Organized the same way with. 40 cent raise a year, and they don't even have to give it to you if they don't think you've done a good enough job in their eyes.
"If I want to fuck that ps3, I'm going to FUCK that PS3!"

well your lucky or has it gotten as bad as GameStop?
doesn't seem that bad, very good deals for buying games, shitty but doable deals for trading games
+Jeremie N well you heard what he said about here in United States so yeah. Just never shop at GameStop if you get a chance to come her and you'll be fine.
'Murica
+Jeremie N yep lol
ive never heard anyone say fuck so many times..
fuck
Fuck fuckin' fuck in the fuck.
Ever watched an Emer Prevost video mate?
The Thoughtless Believer Wario no lol
I know
God this video is a classic.
I remember buying a PSN card, and the GS employee asked what I was gonna buy. I told him, "Digital Devil Saga". Turns out that he was surprised that a kid like me was into the Shin Megami Tensei series. The guy was cool and he recommended a few RPGs.
This felt longer back in the day
I'm sorry, but who lets their 5 year old kid be alone and do a business transaction? Wtf. Don't get me wrong, GameStop sucks, but that dad was an idiot.
And that kid was an idiot to or his dad didn’t teach him about money at all. Like what did he think he could buy with 3 dollars.
I once got a Mario game on my 3DS but when I played it it had a saved game on it with everything unlocked.
Best rant series of all time. Nothing beats getting all my bros together and just laughing our asses off at this rant. Never gets old!
"If I wanna FUCK that PS3, I'm gonna FUCK that PS3"
Still one of the greatest quotes of all time lmao
Good thing there are no GameStops in my tri city area. They are EB Games stores instead.
Mokibo same company, gamestop owns EB, go to ebgames website and youll see its really gamestop
I know you were going for the, "I'm lucky, you're not" feel, but instead you just looked like a dumbass. lol
I love going on long drives and listening to this man talk.
I called gamestop a few months ago about trading in my ps4 and they offered me €200, and that was including fifa 17, battlefield 1, cod IW with remastered, cod bo3, rainbow six siege and gta v and alot of other games with two controllers in perfect condition. Ended up selling it online for €450. I swear they just make up the prices.
Steven Gerrard They wanted to screw you, mate.
