Gamestop vs EB Games

[ieatzombies]

Where would you rather work and why?

[ShadowWest]

Different game shops. Same jobs.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

Didn't Gamestop buy EB Games a little while back?

Yes, yes they did. It is the same thing.

GameStop, seeing as I've never been to an EB Games. Also, the people in my local GameStop are so sound. Whenever I'm getting a new game, they'll talk me about it or I might ask about a game they might have played like SSBB or MGS4.

EB. With the exception of the Gamestop at the town square (which used to be an EB), all Gamestop employees are idiot college dropouts.

[Deadly-Shadow]

There arn't any GameStops in my town, so EB Games is my only choice out of the two.

[Eclipse914]

Yep, GameStop bought out EB Games a while back, and they are all owned by the same company. Also, Im wondering if Wal-Mart has a connection with them, cuz every time I go to Wal-Mart, there is either an EB Games or a GameStop next to it. I swear, I even went to Missouri, same there! Maybe Wal-Mart is affiliated with GameStop/EB Games...

Your thoughts? (besides that Wal-Mart SUX due to the fact that they hired illegal aliens for lower wages)

GameStation.

I loved it when i walked in there to buy a copy of The Orange Box or xbox 360 (I already had it for PC) and the guy says "awesome buy mate, it's an amazing game, especially Portal"

The idea that there are different shops in other countries is simply PREPOSTEROUS!

I mean back when I was like, 13, Electronic Boutique was bought out by GAME over here.

Yeah but in all fairness the guy asked between GameStop and EB Games. No Gamestation was involved.

So in conclusion, klsdhfashdfa;sdf.

GameStop ftw.

When I was younger and wanted Ridge Racer R4, i didn't see it on the shelf there, so I asked the guy, and without saying anything immediately walked into the back room and pulled out a copy.

And I was like "lol"

Ridge Racer R4 was for PSX, deal with it

[Davidzx]

Eb, its the only store I figured would be the best selling gamestore........

[Flak]

Dear lord, they're the same store you fucking idiots.

[KevnSevn]

SEE a DIFFERENCE ?

i didn't think so

[KP94]

Same company now

they both suck dick , I'll rather work at best buy

[EvilerBowser1001]

Same store, you fucktards.
Actually, there was an EB games, and a Gamestop in my local mall.
Then EB games got bought out by gamestop, now they're both gamestops.
There's now two gamestops in my local mall.

I'm gonna work at the one that was once a EB games.
It always seemed a little better, in location, stock, range, and such.
Also, I like their bargain bin a little better.
But now, they're the same store.

[Blaze-Heatnix]

The people at GameStop can be assholes, but EB has higher prices.

Hahahah, I'll blend in perfect then, when I work there.

[davidownsyou]

Meh I don't personally like either but would have to choose Gamestop. Also why isn't Game Crazy listed here? Do they not have that in your area(s)?!

[Basspro55]

Pretty much its the same thing just different signs

Yeh I remember the good ol' days when I use to shop there all the time. Always thought it was cheaper than GAME.

[omgbbq]

i havent been to gamestop

IM in aus

but EB are a rip off

cause often JB Hi Fi will have the same games for 10 dollars cheaper

so u just teel eb that

and theyll either match it or give a cheaper price
aand then u can return it if you dont like it

[Sillyking44]

its kind of a no choice situation..eb was bought out..you wanna work in a game store? go to gamestop...(eb was better tho :(...)

[Techno]

Funcoland.

Even though it was bought out by GameStop then GameStop bought EBgames.

Now they are all one video game store orgy.

[Del-Toro]

there kinda the same thing, like, exactly the same thing, same type of store , same colour schemes, same owners
