SON OF A BITCH: GAMESTOP MANAGERS getting PS4 & SEVEN GAMES AT LAUNCH.

How quickly can I infiltrate the ranks of GameStop? I must walk among them, showing prowess at peddling bullshit warranties and slamming pre-orders down customers’ throats. For if I can ascend to manager by November 15, I will get myself a free PS4.

GameStop managers will receive PlayStation 4 units and seven games at launch, GameStop has confirmed to Joystiq. The announcement was made at the company’s GameStop EXPO, currently taking place in Las Vegas.

A tipster informs us the games to be given with the console include: Killzone: Shadowfall, NBA 2K14, Madden, FIFA 14, Need for Speed: Rivals, Battlefield 4 and Beyond: Two Souls. That final one being a curiosity if we’re to assume managers will receive PS4 versions of the listed games, since to the best of our knowledge, and reiterated by Sony in follow-up,Beyond is only for PS3.

I can see the sense in it. You want those running the stores to have a fucking clue about the consoles they’re peddling. But — um? Don’t you want half-baked creators of fledgling blogs to also be informed, Sony? Don’t you? Hit me up.
