I couldn't believe what I heard today in GAME, talk about being biased (and stupid)
Here's the scene
Today I was in GAME and this guy was advising some customer on which console to buy and roughly this is what he said.
PS2 - Most popular and BEST new console, plays DVD, CD's blah blah blah holds the GTA series and the new Vice city is out soon etc....
X-Box - The PS2's ONLY real competitor also plays DVD's, CD's blah blah blah features games such as Halo etc etc
Gamecube - People only buy these if they're a fan of Nintendo, you either love them or hate them, don't really compete with the PS2 and X-Box, a good choice if young children are going to play too, features games like Mario etc....
What the hell!? This is completely true and that is more or less the exact words the guy said, shocking! How are Nintendo supposed to sell when they get reviews like that from the people selling the console? I felt like jumping in the middle of the agreeing guy who was taking it all in and prove that sucker wrong (or something).
If I worked at GAME

For a guess about 18 seeing as you'd be dealing with the tils, not sure though it might be 16-17, just depends what you're doing, I think er-no is 17 and he works there.

I did actually apply for a job there, don't think I'll get it though as my CV isn't really up to scratch at all.
If however I get an interview I will lie through my teeth and give out non biased nicely corporate awnsers to any questions they hurl at me, then once I have the job I will let everyone know my dedication to Nintendo and throw every customer who walks through the door toward the Nintendo stand (which by the way is very small compared to the others, at the back of the store, leaving the X Box and PS2 stands to show themselves at the front by the shop windows, gah)
Still I'll sort all that out. ;)

Direct quote from GAME's website. Promoting? LOL! The only promoting they do is for the PS2 and the Xbox, well, that guy anyways.
LOL! How ironic to have that on their website. :P

not even a good old fashioned moonie?
Yeah, I know how you feel. GAME staff are, generally, biased. People like Joby (as an example) have their heads screwed on right, but the majority don't. How old do you have to be to work at GAME? I want to work there when i'm older (I'm only 15).

or at least give him a wedgie
why didn't you slap him in the face and say 'waaaatch iiiiit'
