Gamestop just called me. Twice.

    Okay, so I was reading this post and thinking "That's weird, Gamestop hasn't called ME about this .."

    I get to the last post and my phone rings, and it's Gamestop. Is anyone else creeped out by the voice they use on their automatic machine?

    Here's to hoping they don't sell my copy for not being there at 9PM.

    To tell me about the midnight opening for Halo 3. It said I had to get there at NINE PM in order to get a copy at midnight. I have to work that night anyway, but it's not worth it to me to go chill at Gamestop for THREE HOURS just go get Halo 3 at midnight. I mean, I CAN just go pick up my pre-order on Tuesday during the day, right? That's all I want to know.

    Did you pre-order the game, then switch it later to a different version?

    If you did, you are on both call lists. When a pre-order is made, then cancelled, the call still goes out, because all of the ARN calls are farmed out to an external company.

    All I'm saying is, it was probably a mistake, and you're over-reacting like fucking crazy.

    Edit for fixing first sentence bad writing stuffs.

    So then you agree that he should probably just take a dump in the middle of the store to teach them a lesson in customer service?

    Sometimes a man has to make a stand for what's right and good and to prove a point. One day you'll hit puberty and realize what I'm talking about here. Shit on their floor. It's in the name of freedom, and good customer service.

    I did, but after yelling at Drez and telling him I want nothing to do with him, I've come to the conclusion that niceties aren't worth much around here, and if you don't like someone you might as well get it out in the open.

    Pheezer actually isn't socially retarded. I met him in person and he's a good enough person when he's away from a computer. He's internet retarded, though. And logic retarded.

    You see I was attempting to make a commentary on how absurd it is to be offended that a company you provided your phone number to for the sake of reminding you about a pre-order dared to call you to remind you about your pre-order, and I was attempting to do so by ratcheting up the absurdity.

    Clearly my talents are wasted here.

    So if I bought them on one reciept, will I get two dial-a-bots, or just one?

    I thought toppling the Magazine racks was the new fad when Gamestop pisses you off.

    Besides, when I get mad, my bowels do more of a clinch than a relax. So dropping turds in retail hell isn't much of an option for me anyway.

    The real irony here is that my local Gamestop has never ever called me to inform me of the arrival of a preorder. So what's worse? Not knowing at all or knowing twice?

    Gamestop has some real issues as a company and there's a lot of valid arguments out there on how they can actually kinda hurt the industry as a whole (that I'm sure at one point or another we've all argued for or against until we were all blue in the face). Calling someone twice probably isn't a real issue here.

    No, I've never had to deal with shit in real life. You got me. Getting a little peeved because Gamestop called me twice today clearly precludes me from ever having to deal with anything of gravity in the real world. Quite obviously my entire judgment system is utterly flawed and I should just go ahead and accept the fact that I get call-spammed by some corporate cuntbot after being hassled into preordering at their store in the first place. One day, hopefully, ten decades in the future I'll hit puberty and the padlock on the trapdoor leading up from my parent's basement where I live amid rats with my trusty PC and internet connection rusts and fully erodes, I will truly be able to join adult society and deal with these real issues you speak of that I know nothing about. You are so correct and I am so very sorry to have troubled you with my inconsequential complaint about an extraneous phone call. Forgive my trivial issues, good sir, for I know nothing of the society that lives and breathes around my ever-ignorant head.

    You're trying to be sarcastic but honestly, this is the image I get from some of the people here. If pre-ordering makes you angry, if getting a stupid phonecall makes you mad enough to post a thread here complaining about it, then I am convinced that you rarely get out, because you would be able to shrug it off if you actually dealt with people on a day-to-day basis. I'm not calling you a child, I'm calling you socially retarded.

    It's amazing how rude people can be towards each other over the internet.
    Especially two seemingly intelligent people.

    from the stories i hear, it sounds like Gamestop are pretty scary with some of their policies. I've never pre-ordered from a b&m shop here, so i can't compare. As it is though, i'm happy to pre-order from the couple of online stores i know, because i don't absolutely have to get the game at midnight, but it's nice to have it delivered to my door on the day of launch, for no extra cost.

    Come on, obviously this thread has become a fucking scrimmage between the "adults" and the "kids", huh? I'm eagerly awaiting the next witty comment attempting to trivialize the issue. Where'd everyone go? Back to their adult worlds, huh? Oh well, I'll sit here in my basement dungeon computer lair and brood.

    You're trying to be sarcastic but honestly, this is the image I get from some of the people here. If pre-ordering makes you angry, if getting a stupid phonecall makes you mad enough to post a thread here complaining about it, then I am convinced that you rarely get out, because you would be able to shrug it off if you actually dealt with people on a day-to-day basis. I'm not calling you a child, I'm calling you socially retarded.

    Yeah, that's pretty stupid. But I guess that's par for the course with you, isn't it Mr. Mambo?

    For the record, I deal with and fit in with modern, adult society on a day to day basis, in both social and professional respects. I really don't know or care if this particular thread creator is in the same boat or not because one's social aptitude has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not something like this bothers him or her.

    One of the biggest problems here is that everyone is an armchair psychologist and 99% of the claims are based on logical nonsense.

    But that's all I'm going to say. Go ahead and point and laugh at people making an issue of something trivial. I'll just point and laugh at people wasting their time trying to drown out people that are complaining about something trivial. I can't think of anything more wasteful than coming into a thread and saying "you shouldn't be complaining about this," but maybe that's because I'm not the socially inept person in this equation and someone else is.

    So. How 'bout those phone calls?

    I'm anxiously awaiting mine for Orange Box and Assasan's Creed in November. They're scheduled the week of my B-day, so it's like Valve and Ubisoft is doing something just for me. Except I have to pay for them, and pick them up. And get shitty calls about them.

    So if I bought them on one reciept, will I get two dial-a-bots, or just one?

    Good question. The OP got two calls about one game so... Maybe you'll get six.

    Can you even do that?

    My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think I pre ordered LostMagic a while back and forgot to pick it up. No copies left, and I had to get store credit. Maybe they just insisted on store credit or something. I dunno. Maybe I didn't even ask for a refund or something.

    Fuzzy fuzzy. Such a mediocre game to even remember.



    The rule is that you get the money back however you paid for the game.

    So, from your story, I'm guessing you paid for that pre-order using store credit/trade-ins?
