Fuck You GameStop

I really should blame myself for rolling the dice again.

2 years ago I preordered Gears and got the call only to show up and it not be there. They had some shipping fuck up and I got it 2 days later.

Tonight it is Left 4 Dead. Got my call yesterday and showed up today only to find that they had yet another warehouse issue and I might have it tomorrow. I honestly know better, and have no idea why I even bother with pre ordering anymore. There is no fucking benefit at all, and I won't get anything out of this other than a "sorry". The guy that runs and owns the one I go to is awesome and I can tell he felt shitty about it, obviously it is not his fault but god damn I am unhappy.

 

Anyone have any success complaining to corporate with these fuckers? From here on out it is all Amazon for this kid. I was looking forward to this game the most this fall, so it is pretty dissapointing. Now I will have to call in sick tomorrow.

What's even crazier for you is 2 years ago with Gears you lived in a different part of the country.

Fuck Gamestop. I'd get my money back, make them give you a refund. Then go to Target, Walmart or any other place that has a million copies and get it there.

I stopped using them altogether after they fucked me on Madden the day before release this year.

I usually hit up Wal-Mart or Target and can pick up the game that day.

Wally World had just got it in when I went there on my lunch break.

Boycott, my good friend.

I've never had an issue with them. But just for you I will boycott menthol cigarettes for the rest of the year.

When they did that to me with GoW I got my pre-order money back, went across to best buy and bought the game there. I have never pre-ordered since and I have not regretted it.
