GameStop sez… break Halo 3 street date, you get FIRED!
In the wake of the massive BioShock fiasco, it seems that GameStop doesn’t want to be the next Toys R Us, and have gone to an extreme length to ensure that they don’t. In an e-mail sent to all GameStop and EBGames locations in (at least) the US, GameStop has laid the law down: Break the seal, get fired.
I’ll repeat that, so that you can fully soak that in: If you break the seal, that is, if you so much as open the shipping crate… you get fired. Even if you accidentally open one of the boxes containing a version of Halo 3, you get axed. I had a hard time believing that, so I called my cousin who works at a tri-city GameStop… he wasn’t working. So, I e-mailed him. He replied an hour later:
yah dood its nuts. we were told if we open these boxes we get fired. that includes district managers too! so dont be coming asking me to get u ur copy lol!
So there you have it. Lousy grammar aside, that’s the word straight from a GameStop manager. So, when you GameStop employees start receiving unmarked boxes… be careful.
Really careful.
…like, REALLY careful.
UPDATO MAGNIFICO!
Well, as I discovered from a rather… “colorful” comment from a Mr. “threekingdoms” (which has been deleted), this story was originally broken by Rated-M. This is the perfect time to remind you all that neither Paco or I are omnipotent; we can not, and do not visit all 12,000,000,000 websites on the internet. If you know of a site that broke a story that we may like, click on the “Contact Me” link to the right, and send us the link.
Don’t leave rather eclectic comments full of false statements and hyperbole. You only come off looking like a nitwit. Do you understand that, Mr. “threekingdoms”?
