I remember when I was like 5, I asked an old lady to open the glass game casing so I could get a game and she gave me a 50% discount on Luigis Mansion Dark Moon for asking so nicely.

Aw thats so sweet if her
Wow what a deal, cause luigi’s mansion 2 was already Nintendo selects so you got a hi-quality producer game for 10 dollarydoos
@@deoxtroy7556 cuz nothing ever happens right?
@@floppcom3706 well, he could also have got it for 20 dollars, because the game wasnt nintendo selects FOREVER.
My local gamestop's setup;
Nintendo switch: 10% of store
PS4: 20% of store
Xbox: 20% of store
Pop figures/plushies: 50% of store
Because Pop Figures are FILLER in stores.
My local store is more like
Switch: 5%
PS4: 10%
Xbox: 10%
Used: 15%
Plushies: 60%
wii u and ds barely take up any space in my store....
My Gamestop literally has 1 shelf full of PS4,XBOX,Switch, each and the rest is shitty mercy and plushes. I can’t even walk in there anymore because it’s so crowded with anything BUT games.

I used to visit a small game store, that specialized on retro stuff, near my apartment almost daily. It was always a great experience to see what was available and talk about gaming in general with the only employee who worked there. Unfortunately with the pandemic I moved back to my parent's, so I haven't visited the store in months. Those small game stores are such a great place to go
I remember a small one in Dublin called R.A.G.E where they had a boxed NES in amazing condition almost looking like it was never touched. And they have so much for retro gamers. NES, Master System, Genesis, Gameboy, SNES, Saturn, PS1, N64, GBC, Dreamcast, PS2, GBA, GameCube
I know right! So many games and not just that their passion games is awesome.
GameStop... All the trade in credit in the world could never make me shop there again.
All the trade in credit in the world?
All $5.03 of it?
I only go there for pre orders, I hate going in there otherwise
$5.08? Dang, I got 20cents for selling a PS5
Buy their stock own the company
My gamestop is great
I remember somebody was getting fired and sold me a copy of Let’s Go Eevee for $13
That's why you never let the employee know that they're getting fired. Bad management there.
Lol! A GameStop employee sold me Arms for 20 bucks because of the same reason.
a gamestop employee sold me the entire store for a dollar because of that lmfaooo

I wish I had a "mom and pop" game store in my area but then again I'd probably practically live there if we did have one
I've always wanted that in my small town, but even the big name stores like best buy never really have anything that sticks out to me. Really if I did have a game store in my town I'd probably go more to make friends with the owners and other customers rather than seeking out something for the collection.

i would quit on the spot if a manager told me to do that
@@ltbqfr. I missed out on a job at Macy's cuz they tell you to upsell and shit and I just can't be a salesman ig cuz I don't like lying to ppl to get them to buy shit.
I still remember the moment when I was 11 or 12 years old and I went into Gamestop to buy a game. The employee told me that Pokemon Black 2 & White 2 were coming out soon and I had no idea. I remember being completely mind-blown by the fact that there was a Pokémon game with a real sequel
I've met some wonderful employees at gamestop. One time I went to a gamestop recently casually looking for pokemon plushes. One of the employees noticed that I was buying a totodile plush that was heavily discounted, and he was like "hey, do you want another one? We really want to get rid of it, so it'll literally cost you only 2 cents," and it was a chikorita, and I was trying to complete my Johto starters so I was like hell yeah dude, and he brought it out from the back of the store for me.
There was another gamestop employee that literally got me into Persona and SMT. I went to a gamestop a while back to stock up on some nostalgic RPGs for me (FFIII on the DS, Rogue Galaxy, Radiata Stories, etc.). I asked the employee if they had any of the games I listed and he said no. As I was about to walk away though, the guy said "c'mere. I got some games I know you'll like," and he brought me over to the ps2 games where he had SMT Nocturne and Persona 4, two of my now all-time favorite games ever. I never saw that employee again after that...which was a shame cause that man was a goddamn salesman. I bet he got fired cause he didn't shove preorders down your throat, but who the fuck cares about that when he knows how to sell franchises to people that they may not know about. THAT'S a true game store salesperson.

@@pokelover02 I was fortunate to find someone who loves the same things I do and supports my interests as much as I support hers. In fact the first story I posted about finding Pokemon plushes was when I was going to a gamestop with her lol. I've always loved plushes, I don't understand why it's gotta be weird for guys to be into them. I just wanna live my life surrounded by the pokemon (and woman) I love.
"What brings you in today?"

That thumbs up makes this comment even better than it already was
The local gamestop in my area was my childhood, the manager there was really chill, and my mom actually got to know him a bit, and my mother would always mention him fondly to the employees, sadly the manager who was really nice really quit gamestop to for a job he has more passion for, pet smart, he loves animals, but the new manager is also pretty nice and was an empolyee there for years.

Went to this really cool 2-storey game store once. They had regular modern game stuff on the ground floor, like Minecraft plushies, Switch consoles, and 3 different versions of Exploding Kittens. But the fun part was the basement. They sell N64 games. They sell C64s and Ataris. They have Tetris and Pac-Man arcade machines (not for sale afaik). Their (3)DS game collection was bigger than my local game shop's was at its peak.
I went to heaven and it's the basement of a random game shop in the Netherlands.
man i wish i live in the netherlands, n64 games are either really hard to find, expensive, or dont work. i am still pissed i never got pokemon stadium 2
7:00 the way manager looks at the camera absolutely makes me want to die
Yeah I’ve had some great experiences at GameStop, like when I was just trying to buy Tropical Freeze and the guy who worked there went on a rant about how Nintendo only makes childrens games and that I should try playing a «real game» with «artistic merit» like Call of Duty
I wish I was joking
Even if that's true, people play games to have fun ...not for "artistic merit".
@@lalas198 Someone should have let Neil Druckmann know before he ruined The Last of Us 2.

@@lalas198 I'm a bit of a mix, really. I play games for VALUE and quality, sure I do love fun, but I'd much prefer a story-driven game than a battle royale. Call me insane, but it's my opinion.

I remember having a pretty good conversation about the DS Pokemon games with a GameStop employee one time. He wasn't trying to sell me anything, we just had a good chat. Wish I could have more experiences like that at GameStop.
8:04 Buying a new game and getting a used box was the last straw that finally made me stop going to Gamestop. I've literally never had a single good experience at Gamestop
One time I got ratchet and clank for the Playstation 4 and the box was covered in black stuff or dirt I was disgusted but I still got it oh and the same thing happened to my pre owned re4 it was dirty.

As a Gamestop employee, this is my favorite Scott the Woz episode.
@Fakepolicepoxferd as a gamestop employee, I try to rip off stickers when there's a pile of them on a case/peel when somebody is buying it but if my manager catches me he tells me to stop.

I love this quote because it implies that hes actually living inside a gamestop
I started working at Gamestop back in August of last year and just got back to rewatching this episode, but holy shit he hits the nail on the head. Gamestop has it where your store's performance and employee performance is reliant on preorders, pro memberships, and warranties on hardware or games. It's literally shoved down the employees' throats so they can puke it back down yours. I hate it with a passion. I firmly believe the stuff can be beneficial, but c'mon, it's not like everyone wants the prostate exam of retail.
i started working at GS a few months ago and i can feel my soul leave my body every time someone says they dont have a membership and i have to recite the whole pro rewards spiel 💀 i rlly like the job and the people i work with but i feel like such a fuckin goon

I just imagined Scott yelling “ *LEAVES* “
My local games store has signs that say "We offer 40% more for used games than GameStop".
WHERE IS IT
I WISH I COULD GET MORE THAN 2 DOLLARS FOR A GAME
Yo
The game stores, music stores, comic stores, etc in my area are probably even worse than Gamestop when it comes to buying things back.
That's awesome :)
As it should say
Man, I'm on a rewatching binge of Scott the Woz videos and this is my 5th time watching this one and i still enjoy it just as much as the first time. I feel like this rewatching binge may trigger me going on a shopping spree for games that I will not play for no other reason than "I'll get around to it eventually"
Former Games On A Shelf employee here (2007-2019 on and off) and boy was it soul crushing. I stuck around because it was generally easy work, flexible, was something I was interested in, and whenever I moved to a new area, I had the experience necessary to get right in. The store I worked at was actually the home base for the guy that’s actually the VP of stores now. Anyway, all the gripes and all the counter points to the gripes are all spot on. My store try to minimize the bullshit by encouraging donations of games that weren’t pulling that much in credit, we’d NEVER sticker box art, instead we’d tear the sticker off with the back still on, and close it in the plastic covering. That way, whenever you bought it, you just opened the game up, lifted the plastic, boom, no stickers. We also FIERCELY stuck to our guns with the 48 hour reserve window on new games. If you pre-ordered a game at our store, we had your copy for 48 hours regardless of corporate telling us to sell through our stock.

this was my first scott the woz episode and ive been addicted ever since
Always had great experiences at my local GameStops regardless of where I lived. The employees there are actually interested in video games, are nice to talk to, and gave me honest opinions. It also allowed me to buy used games very cheap, often using the buy-2-get-1 offer, and get into the Xbox 360 late in the console’s lifecycle with great games at low prices.
I also loved Game Informer. It’s because of that magazine that I read about Darksiders II, then bought Darksiders for $17 (preowned) in preparation for Darksiders II, and fell in love with the series.
At this point in my life, however, I love the convenience of digital games so my relationship with GameStop is all but dead. Oh, and I also hated those ******* stickers on NEW games!
The worst part of glass cases on game shelves is having to get an employee for sure. Especially the walk over to the case where neither of you say anything until you arrive and say "yeah, that one"
I understand it if the games are rare or expensive, but keeping all the games behind glass cases is just unnecessary and discouraging to me as a consumer
Trust me, as someone who worked at a certain toy story that died recently, it's just as awkward for the employee. And my store (possibly others do this too) make it so turning the key and opening the case is actually quite difficult, you have to apply pressure on the glass case as you turn a key a specific way, and you actually have three keys that look pretty similar and only one works for game cases so I'm usually struggling for a minute and two as I feel like I might be silently judged by this customer likely thinking, "geez, you have trouble with the simple task of using a key?"
So relatable 😂
1:02 I never knew Scott was a child at one point

go to scott's stash. you'll see a ton of his old videos. they're, uh, cringy, tbh.
Here in the UK we used to have a store called GameStation, during the 7th gen of consoles they often sold gen 6 games in bundles 3 for £20, which made me, a kid who only had a ps2 in 2009 and was on a budget, able to walk out with 3 games almost every month. The store shut down, probably because when we're way too generous, but it will always be one of my happiest childhood memories
My nearest game store closed down awhile ago and it hurts knowing that until a new game store opens any physical game I want I will have to buy online, I still remember reading the back of splatoon 2 and being so excited to get home and play it with my friends online
Walks into GameStop, fog everywhere, one overhead light in the center slowly flickers on and off. Continue walking its quiet too quiet, hear rustling behind me.
I feel like someone is... trying to sell me something.
would be a great video game, also do you want a membership with that?
Nice try, there's no build-up in Gamestop. You step a toe into the store and someone is right there, ready to ki-... sell you something.

I had a weird GameStop experience once
When I bought my PS4 I also bought GTA V and Detroit become human (both M games and I was 16) and I left the store with all of those
A few months later I went to a different game stop in the area and tried buying a few more M games and the guy asks for my ID, I made the mistake of saying “I didn’t know that (which I didn’t) the game stop at this other location gave me these M games” and the guy was like “I can shut down that store for that-“ cut to a month later and that store is no longer there.
I destroyed a game stop store because I can’t buy a fucking M rated game at 16.
Lol it's the law asshole
VintenDio bruh, they’re just games
TheAwesomeGT 1 but they have ratings for a reason. I hate it too but it is what it is
smalltorso 86 yeah, true
I bought call of duty when I was 13 and the guy just asked my mom if it was ok that that it was m rated and she said yes. And now I can say I have broken the law.
4:30 My last experience at GameStop
8:00 This has happened to me more than once! Here in Germany, when I buy NEW games from a store (not specifically Gamestop, any store), it often happens that more expensive games are sold as "empty boxes", which means: the case packaging has been opened, the actual game has been taken out and left at some kind of information desk to avoid stealing the game. You can only pick up the actual game at the information desk by showing your purchase receipt once you have bought the game case in the store!...And you still have to pay the full price.

Scott I love you. This is easily my favorite out of all your videos. I used to work at Rhino Video Games, which was a great place for retro games. When all our stores were sold to GameStop it was this awful cultural shift. Being the assistant manager at GameStop is the worst job I have ever had, and my first job involved digging ditches.
This is one of my favorite Scott the woz videos! I remember when it came out and I was really not having a great Sunday, and then this video came out and made me so happy :) Classic video!
i think merch in a game store is fine as long as its related to video games... but NERF?! seriously that's stretching it
Its mostly fortnite nerf guns
That’s even worse
what about the Nerf N-Strike game on Wii: loophole
And still, it shouldn’t take up more than half of the store, only a little corner.
and the pickle rick plushie which has absolutely nothing to do with video games
I actually had a pretty memorable experience at game stop once. Me and my friend went there to browse and we saw a couple Nintendo puppets (link, Mario, peach, toad and donkey Kong).
We started to play with them for some reason until one of the employees walked over and said “hey you can’t play with those!” And just when I though we were gonna get in trouble he said “without me” and pulled out a toad puppet. So me and my friend played with the puppets with the employee for a bit while also laughing out asses off.

I’m from Australia and when I was on a holiday to America, I had some money to spend on a switch game. We went to the counter and the lady said “are you a powerup rewards member?” And my Dad said “No, we’re from Australia.” There was a five second pause before she said “for when you come back?”
Nice.
Wait, are Switch games not region-locked?
@@k-leb4671 Nope! They're not region locked.
@@loopdeloop15 Cool. I never liked region-locking.
That was lady was nice
Hyclops From my experience, thank god EB Games isn’t like how Scott says Gamestop is like
My best memory at Gamestop was either getting Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga or getting Pokemon distributions
4:55 That one didnt age quite so well...
"Well, uh, I got this skylander game for the Wii U"
"That'll be $30"
"Really? GREAT! Take it!"
"Ok, just as soon as you hand over the $30"
Off topic, but I could've sworn he said "I've got the Scotland here for you"
@@ScoutTrooperTK subtitles be like
@@ScoutTrooperTK Scottland more like. Get it?
Looks like r/jontron is gonna be Scott infested for another week!
good im glad he was suggested. ive been binging scott ever since
How exactly does Scott's content remind you guys of jontron I don't see quite how besides consistent release schedule?
I'm out of the loop, why is r/jontron a Scott sub now? And since when?
mairland200 there was a revolution a while back and everyone just went with it. Mainly just people getting annoyed over Jon’s lack of uploads
Looks like it’s Grimbo time
"I want to say I'm protesting them, but I'm unemployed." the most true words. They now sell used games at 7 Eleven, and it's even PSP minidiscs. So weird.
As a person who has 2 retail jobs, that 'What brings you in today?' moment SPOKE TO ME and was also SO on point! CACKLING! X'D Also that the stupid Funko pops and shit take up more space than the DAMN GAMES...and let's just say we don't often buy anything/we quickly leave, too! lolol!
Saying "retro games" to refer to Gamecube games and I'm about to turn 30 *cries into hands*
Wait GameCube games are retro now what the fuck
@@mkultrasoldier and wii, ps3, and x360
retro games
Yeah, and the Wii and PS3 are retro too because they were released about 12 years ago
Has it honestly been that long?
Scott: I’m not really a Xenoblade Guy
Also Scott: **Repeatedly plays Xenoblade OST tracks and remixes**
I can respect that
I don't like Xenoblade's gameplay, but I love the music.
You can dislike a game and like its music, and vice versa. For example, I despise playing Need For Speed: The Run sometimes, but the soundtrack for it bops.
The Pika Player I know, it’s just nice that, even though he’s not a fan of JRPGs and therefore Xenoblade by proxy, he at least gives the series the respect of enjoying its amazing soundtrack, especially when finding people who give a damn about the series is extremely difficult outside of the subreddit
@Awesomizer 2000 wait where does he use Xenoblade Music
zau64 Don’t we all?
ebay always got my back when it comes to used stuff, be it games, devices, or even console parts. the ability to see real pictures taken by the seller of what you're buying, as well as the ebay moneyback guarantee, is a really good safety net
I like the manager at the Gamestop I go to. He asked me if I had a membership the firs time I went in, and after I said I didn't, he asked if I was interested in one, said no, and he was like "yeah no I don't even understand them to be honest." and he has never once asked if about it again. Same case when he asked if I wanted to preorder anything, and I told him no, he was like "Just let me know in the future if you ever want to. Until then, I will just assume you don't." Cool dude.
@@Scottthewoz371 Oh my god, Scott the Woz? For real!!?? Can I ask you a question first? Do you like the Pokemon Rhydon?
@@emrickazor2610 it's a scam account
@@WellCookedPotatoes I'm aware. I was gonna hit it with the "Rhydon dees NUTS!"
Everyone knows the smell of a new game
It’s amazing
Sega Genesis boxes when you open them and they smell like burnt plastic. :) I swear it's like a drug I can't get enough of it.
I love the smell of opening a Genesis game box. That burnt plastic smell brings me back to when I was just a kid. It hasn't left. It's like a time machine.
Vr BOI that’s why I love physical copies. I’m like “oh my god THIS IS SO COOL!” I just love looking at the art!
I prefer the taste of a new switch game card
@@Unigardy XD
"Gamestop should focus on retro games"
And 9 months later...
They sell PC stuff now, too. At least at mine... I saw they had Elgado capturecards apparently
Reading the information on the back of the game and reading the manual booklet was part of the excitement of going home with a new game ^^
If I walked into a GameStop and they greeted me with “Buy a membership, f**khead!” I might actually consider it for once.
Scott: Join our membership f head
My Captions: join ship kenny
Sea shanties start playing
TH-cam must not like Kenny.
My GCU expires in 2020. I’m stoked to have it until then, but also sad it’s gone.
