I had never visited the EB near me, until last monday, I was thinking I was going to go in and Hear a Million Rumors about how Xbox was going to Blow up, Catch my Wife on fire, and Sterilize My Nuts,

Instead, I walk in and see Two large TV's hanging from the Screen showing Xbox Previews , and spouting Xbox Propaganda which I thought was Cool, then when the Guy answered the phone he said "EB Games your XBOX Source " or soemthing to that affect, I also Noticed that the first Area of Games Near the Front Door (a Key place for Advertising) was the Xbox Games,

While I was there three Xbox's were sold and one gamecube I also heard a guy say , 'Damn I shoulda Bought an Xbox!!!" while watching the promo, I was so overwhelmed by Xbox I was getiing kinda Feaked out, anyway I bought a used copy of Genma Onimushu there, the same day at a Used CD/DVD/Vidoe game store I got Amped for 15 bucks and then went to Wal-mart and got Rallisport Challenge because EB was out,

It was just nice to see the Xbox Promoted in a Frenzy, Maybe EB has something like one week promote Gamecube, the Next PS2,,,,,,what does your EB Support

my EB supports mostly PS2 and one guy xbox so i go there and debate with them its kindof funny because i was there one time and 2 guys almost got in a fist fight fighting about PS2 vs XBOX and the guy that was fighting about ps2 left then the xbox guy did and like 5-10 minutes later the PS2 guy came back and bought an xbox lol that was funny.

I have a Gamecrazy by my house and every employer is pro Xbox. They even wear Xbox key necklaces. It's great to talk to them because since they love Xbox and play it, they tell you what is good and bad to rent. I love going there. :cool:

At my EB store only two people now about games, the others just stare at people for hours waiting for them to buy something.

I have an EB not too far from here, and the guys there are very much XBA's. I went there to get an XBOX, and all they could say is how they had wasted so many nights just playing games, and not getting much sleep...

They even also remember who got an XBOX off them and make sure to give you the lowest price matched price for any game you get for the XBOX. They understand that MS has a truckload of cash to throw at the XBOX. They believe the much bigger company, and better console will win.

Remember, MS is no small company, it is one of the largest world wide, Sony had better remember that, instead of taking on relatively a lot smaller Japanese competitors....
