Every smartphone does it. But honestly it was MS messaging with phrases like “always on, always listening” “Kinect required, internet connection required” I’m assuming ps5 will not need to be online to play offline games just like ps4 is today.

It’s a week. Most likely to get everyone situated in their new work from home environment and figure out how to communicate and finish what they need to do. Covid19 is effecting everyone.

About 8 months for me and the cravings are still intense. Anything can be addicting but this has got to be a <1% and no way near the scale of tobacco.

This is how I think because I’ve been in those shoes. Others may say that staying open puts that person health at risk. I’ve personally just been cut back to 40hr work weeks form 55+. Losing overtime pay means I am making significant lifestyle changes but I should be able to pay essential bills. These retail workers don’t have that luxury unless their companies are giving them paid time off which I highly doubt GameStop or Game will do.

Well if your investing in digital media one would assume everything you Previously bought to work on the new hardware. Kinda like a PC, Galaxy, IPhone, Xbox. I mean for some that could be over $1000 worth of games no longer able to use once you buy the company’s newest model.
Sure you could just hold onto the ps4 but that really shouldn’t be needed in 2020.

I understand but still seems like a afterthought. Could have easily been baked in from the getgo and not have to guess if games I bought would carry over or if I need to wait for 4 more stability updates first. 100 games is not that many considering I don’t play a lot of the “top” games like the Fortnites and CoDs.

Huge disappointment for me. I would expect all ps4 games to be backward compatible. With the companies pushing digital future I’m not going to invest in digital if I can’t play those games on future hardware. MS is definitely a step ahead in my book in this regard.

My slow week is 60. During peak season I’m around 80 laying in dirt using acetylene torches and welding on equipment In extreme heat and cold. I can be called in middle of night at times. I work tons of overtime and it’s not voluntary. But the compensation equals expectation so that’s why I do it.
So hard sitting at a desk in a air con environment I guess. Though I’m sure having that degree means you thought you’d get 100k salary with a 9-5.

GameStop can turn it around but they must make this new generation count. They need to trim the fat and keep their stores with biggest floor plans. Get rid of the junk, adjust their pricing a little bit and focus on what people come there for.
Most of the store look cheaply put together and just a reel of desperation.
Stop with the $3 disc protection...c’mon this isn’t blockbuster.
They should have more demo kiosks with new releases or soon to release demos peopl...

Pretty much. I’m a heavy equipment mechanic that works on construction equipment and I avg 55 a week. I’ve done 24hr shifts, I’ve done overnights, I’ve done 90+ a few times. So what? Your in a profession that at times calls for you to leave the 9to5 behind to get a job done.

As long as your being adequately compensated then i say maybe this job isn’t for you? My job told me what was required of me at times during my hiring process just like ND does. You sign up for it, stop...

Except Bethesda isn’t making this game. It’s a Chinese company modifying the original.

Helps to read;)

Well PS4 has them. Was in a software update years ago. You can get all the Trophies you want offline except multiplayer ones obviously.

Xbox is weird, supposedly they unlock behind closed doors while offline and when you go online again it will sync and unlock. I don’t trust it.

Biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent on a system. It had a few good games and even got me to play some games I normally would not have but The way Sony handled the vita really left a bad taste in my mouth.

I moved my Xbox one x into a cabinet and it was first time I ever heard how loud that thing can get. Immediately took it out and quiet as a mouse again.

Ps4 pro is really loud on some games even out in the open. These console definitely need as much ventilation as you can give them.

Last few times I went to GameStop I left without buying anything. The game selection was severely lacking which is probably due to more people buying digital. Went on Black Friday and the flash sales on PSN and XBL were way better or comparable. There was a bunch of giggly female employees behind the counter arguing with a parent of a young boy about how fortnite was not a girly game and there are no girly games I just shook my head and left haha.

And to think I’ve probably...

Some people don’t realize that GameStop doesn’t buy your game and resell it for twice that afternoon. They get hundreds of people a week trading in games that will probably sit on their shelves and they have to eat that until it sells.

Because no one asked for it. Simple.

Bingo. This is 1 and only reason. If people had to pay up front for their new iPhones and galaxy's you surely wouldn’t see many of them. Everyone loves a payment plan in the US. Plus these cell phone companies know that and it’s why they resell the same shit every year with slight upgrades. It’s the most mind boggling thing I’ve ever seen.
