Where would you rather work and why?

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.

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

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)

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

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.

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

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)?!
