I now officially hate Gamestop. Waited in line for 45 minutes on black friday to get the PS4 Pro RDR2 bundle with $50 gift card, only for them to tell me they don't have any. I go home, order it from their website. 5 days pass and I don't even receive an order confirmation email (to this day, I have not received a single email from them regarding that order, despite emailing them numerous times). The Pro finally gets here two days later, but no mention of a gift card. I decided to call customer service, but they said the average wait time was an hour, and I didn't have the time. So, next day I tried again at a different time, thinking it was just busy, but no, still an hour wait. I had no choice, so I waited for an hour. When I got someone, they told me (in very poor english) my gift card number over the phone rather than emailing it to me. They also said I could "get the pin at a local gamestop". Recently, I decided to use the card, and went to my local gamestop. I explained to the salesperson what had happened, and he asked me for my pin. I explained what I was told from support. He looked puzzled, but then proceeded to call support as well, the same number I called apparently, because I waited in the store for nearly another hour while he was on hold. Finally they gave him my pin number and I was able to make my purchase. The whole experience was exhausting, and if I could go back in time, I'd just buy the Pro at full price without the gift card or game from somewhere else. No wonder this company is struggling, they're just awful.

I know your pain. For the first time in like 5 years, I walked into a Gamestop to take advantage of their deal where if you trade in your One S you'd get $250 off of a One X and if you couple that with RDR2 it would be an extra $100 off.

I waited close to an hour for that transaction to conclude after trying to sell me Gamestop potions or something crazy which of course I declined. All while they were arguing with a kid trying to pre-order a Smash Bros controller.

Last time I ever go there and hope they cease to exist in a few years. Would rather buy from anywhere else.

CaptainOmega1998d ago

Yeah. I spoke to someone and her english was really bad.

TheOnlyMastrx1998d ago

I ordered a Nintendo Switch on Cyber Monday and suppose to get a digital $50 Gamestop card and $35 Nintendo eShop card sent by email. Switch arrived 11/29 and my gift cards were still inaccessable to me so I emailed that day and haven't got an email back yet. (Emailed twice and DMed Twitter account) Really don't want to have to call because everywhere I have read an hour, two hours, or more on hold.

bluefox7551997d ago

Agreed. Their customer service is atrocious. I get that things get busy around the holidays, but a corporation as big as gamestop surely could have prepared for it. Walmart hires a ton of temps for the holiday, I don't see why GS can't do that same.

DaDrunkenJester1998d ago

I only go to Gamestop when I pick up used games for my daughter or something. Other than that I don't bother with them.

william_cade1998d ago

HA! 40 usd for 76!? Got to be joking.

danny8181998d ago

$30 for bfV isn’t bad might pick it up tomorrow

Exvalos1997d ago

Idk been going to gamestop since it opened I've never had a problem, I buy my games and go, hell sometimes I go in there and chat games with the employees, i keep hearing these horror stories but i never seen or experienced them.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky2d ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu2d ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv722d ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo2d ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

Eonjay1d 11h ago

Yes it would increase the framerate but it would add more noticeable latency. The impact of latency goes down the more natural frames produced. So a monitor that can push bast 60 will naturally allow the game to operate much smoother. Add VRR to this and now you have a much more enjoyable experience.

Can it deliver the 60fps dream?

purple1011d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

no, it delivers approx 80fps.

which is why I say why not target 60fps with this new tech and use the upscaling pssr, (Sonys version of Nvidia's DLSS, that seems so popular in the pc realm)

then we have best of both, better believe ps5pro will be doing all the above.

andy852d ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

anast1d 21h ago (Edited 1d 21h ago )

120 is a bit slow. My eyes can't look at anything less than 260fps.
