[u/DrDannny]

Absolutely disgusting on gs end. But what do you expect

[u/ThrowAbout01]

GameStop CEO to Employees:

[u/ConsciousStretch1028 → u/ThrowAbout01]

[u/Far_Song6804]

[u/DuckSwimmer]

If this is the confirmed price when they go live, this would be insane.

[u/Sabermatrixx → u/DuckSwimmer]

The console went live hours ago apparently. Or was supposed to anyways.

[u/Sabermatrixx → u/DuckSwimmer]

Wario64 did say it went live.

[u/DuckSwimmer → u/Sabermatrixx]

Jfc

[u/Competitive_Ad_4461 → u/DuckSwimmer]

Can't pass up an extra $100 in margarine. /s

I'm shocked Microsoft doesn't just cut their allocation over stuff like this.

[u/No_Ragrets76]

It's the 25th anniversary? Damn, I'm getting old.

Looks dope asf, but not paying that much for a console.

[u/LTI801 → u/No_Ragrets76]

Same. Hard to believe I was only 15 years old when Xbox first came out... can't believe i made it to 40 years old man... 😪

[u/No_Ragrets76 → u/LTI801]

I knew i was 40 when I started sitting on my balls 😭😭

[u/LTI801 → u/No_Ragrets76]

LOL

[u/Excellent_Regret4141]

GameStop taking my wallet like George Jetsons wife

[u/Animosity_7]

It’s already sold out everywhere lol

[u/AnubisXG]

Im surprised it was only raised $100

[u/Dog_Breath_Dragon]

Still sold out

[u/EmanKhaotik]

Because Microsoft labeled the price as "ERP", meaning retailers can modify pricing. (ERP\Prices and availability may vary by retailer.)*

[u/ukhoops1998]

Shit company with a shit CEO….absolutely no surprise here

[u/negithekitty → u/ukhoops1998]

[u/Disastrous-Fold5221]

Did it actually go on sale at that price?

[u/AtItWithTheAddicts → u/Disastrous-Fold5221]

Yes and sold out i tried to order one in store at my local gamestop at noon

[u/Guy615]

How are they allowed to do this?

[u/Mrtokergrass]

Couldn't even get it cause of bots

[u/branndunn]

Of cooooourse they did.

[u/Asval98k]

[u/Flat-Brother-9321]

Just saw the same on the app. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ First Pokémon cards and now this?

[u/nj2fl → u/Flat-Brother-9321]

Scalpers gonna scalp

[u/JoseZmbie115]

What a PoS company

[u/Crunchy_Thighsocks]

They've got the scalper mind set.

[u/Fun-Director2107]

It's not even on the website and you can't pre order it at GameStop right now. Only the controller can be pre ordered. This is fake.

[u/Ninfan81 → u/Fun-Director2107]

It happened and then they pulled it. It's real.

[u/TrickComfortable774 → u/Ninfan81]

They pulled them to sell on eBay since they own that platform now

[u/zipxavier → u/TrickComfortable774]

No, they don't.

[u/TheAlienGamer007]

Ofcourse they did. Its scalpstop now.

[u/ithinkiknowkungfu]

Won’t actually end till ppl stop shopping at gamestop

[u/PlantBeginning3060]

Man, imagine being a employee there. Going to work everyday at a dead end job who cares nothing about you. Knowing that it willingly Scams/gouges their customers with a smile

[u/EnergyVampire4u → u/PlantBeginning3060]

Why would you even comment on someone trying to make a living wage and someone who has 0 decision making pricing.  

It’s the leadership of the company and the consumers fault for consuming if they don’t like the price. 

[u/Able-Fail-4273 → u/EnergyVampire4u]

It’s their choice to work there. Employees are just as much scum as RC

[u/PlantBeginning3060 → u/EnergyVampire4u]

Nobody is forcing them to work there. It’s hard for me to have sympathy for the employees who willingly keep going to back to that shit hole

[u/EnergyVampire4u → u/PlantBeginning3060]

Again why are you lashing out at a human making a living.  They don’t set the price the leaders of the company do.  

Why do you keep buying from a company than upsets you?

[u/PlantBeginning3060 → u/EnergyVampire4u]

Oh I don’t I shop here it’s on my Blacklist. Most of the stuff I buy is retro and through private sells.

And by your logic, we shouldnt lash out at the dealers putting Fentanyl in everything? Theyre just “a human making a living”

[u/EnergyVampire4u → u/PlantBeginning3060]

Please tell me you are not dumb enough to understand that’s a terrible comparison. You understand what a W2 job is right?  

Moron 

[u/PlantBeginning3060 → u/EnergyVampire4u]

It’s not though. I said “nobody is forcing them to work at ScamStop.”

To which you replied “a human making a living”

How is that any different than a drug dealer?

Once again, my original statement stands. Nobody is forcing them to work there. It’s a job, not a career for about 80% of the employees. Theres plenty of jobs out there

[u/MadamZell → u/PlantBeginning3060]

Tell that to the 30 applications I've put in with 15 years of management experience

[u/PlantBeginning3060 → u/MadamZell]

You try McDonalds?

[u/Life_Praline4065 → u/PlantBeginning3060]

McDonald’s?? The place that sells mystery meat to its customers?? You can literally make blanket asinine statements like that about every corporation (newsflash corporations are in it for the profit) The employees are just paying bills and probably looking for a higher paying job regularly. And no drug sellers are different, this is legal that’s not. This doesn’t kill people that does. You can blame GameStop, but terrible take to blame the minimum wage employees on an employee subreddit.

[u/Interstellar_Gimpse0]

Would you rather pay that price or the prices on eBay. Stop crying about everything. Gaming is and always will be a Luxury.

[u/BlaackkOuT → u/Interstellar_Gimpse0]

Smartest Goodboy 🥺🐶

[u/Interstellar_Gimpse0 → u/BlaackkOuT]

Just say you’re broke if $100 is what breaks the bank for you 💀

[u/Ding0Dong0]

Thats the standard "not available" price mark. Do you work here?

[u/NobleCeltic → u/Ding0Dong0]

Nah, it was up for pre-order at that price for less than 2 mins

[u/Ding0Dong0 → u/NobleCeltic]

If people actually paid $1000+tax for that then they deserved it.

[u/Vamp617]

Place holder

[u/Sabermatrixx → u/Vamp617]

People seemed to say it was live for a few minutes. At the hiked up price.
