It's retail like anything else, but if you're going to be in retail then it's nice to be selling something you're knowledgeable/interested in.

I already work in Retail/Guest Interaction at a Legoland. It's fun most of the time.

You're disposable since they have 10000000 other people lined up to take your place, so don't fuck up.
Too bad working at GameStop sucks, free shit sounds good right about now
I know someone who is a manager and went to the expo
She got to meet Jack Trenton

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;41979269]how is giving somebody a videogame player bribing
the managers aren't doing anything in return for the PS4s[/QUOTE]
Just like how Lobbying isn't technically bribing either!
[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;41978965]This along with the fact that Xbox One employees get a lot of shit free is making me a bit skeptical of this new console era.[/QUOTE]
The new console gen is hardly going to be anything new and is just going to be better graphics, same PR bullshit with sony continuing being absolutely ass-neutral and Microsoft continuing doing stupid shit and nintendo just being nintendo.
The current generation was a huge revolution because of the arrival of bigger storage and HD TVs, the whole thing was carried by HDMI ports which at the time were absolutely fucking massive. The PS4 and XBone are literally just going to be upgrades of their current-gen counterpart.
Which is why I'm really fucking upset that the PS4 is not going to be retro-compatible with the PS3.
I think they would actually get more of a benefit giving some to the actual employees and (not) the managers. Unless I am mistaken the point of this is to get real world experience passed on to potential customers right? The managers have less interaction with customers than floor employees do.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;41979015]Managers really shouldn't be promoting either side, it is unprofessional as a manager to take sides on a product when your goal is to sell as many as you can of both.[/QUOTE]
Anyone with any sense already decided on what "side" to be on.

did you seriously just compare politics to videogames

It's been always like that. I worked some months for a publisher and I had a free selection of every game they have published over the years.
Such things are always peanuts for them.
Sony has so much money they could afford to give every staff in every Gamestop one.
[QUOTE=Agoat;41979244]I don't have faith in Killzone hitting that mark.[/QUOTE]
They've already demonstrated it hitting 60FPS in multiplayer, although the youtube video that showed it had shitty recording so it had a lower FPS than what was actually happening on screen.
It's rumored that infamous second son and driveclub are also aiming for 60FPS, and driveclub has hit it twice before the art director pushes the engine further.
You reckon they'll be some Gamestop managers that don't give a shit about games and just stick the PS4 on ebay?
Too bad managing a Gamestop is a fucking nightmare. I've heard part time is fine but not managing. Good on them to receive a pretty decent bonus.

Well,

Guerrilla as a whole is a fascinating group of studios.
The main studio in Amsterdam has been Sony's primary R&D group for years, who eventually got to make a game.
...
I can't think of any other studio able to run screen space raytracing at 1080p/30fps with 4x msaa.

The game already gets over 60 fps at points though.
The Gamescom build has an unlocked framerate at 1080p which surpasses 60 sometimes.
Guerilla is largely working on optimizing particle effects and PPE's.

(Skip to 1min for 60fps footage with drops)

Tl;dr : Guerrilla are a bunch of techno wizards that pull off miracles and Gamestop Managers are getting a good deal.
