Promo Discs Etc / Store Employees

You have to look at it from the employees point of view. As an ex gamestop employee I can tell you are not the first customer to come in that store and ask for free stuff. Infact you are porbably the 50th person that day that has asked for stuff and gives nothing in return. As stated earlier the purpose of the free promotional stuff is to guarantee sales for that store by offering the items to people that preorder games.

Also if you are infact 16, I say you get a job at a local gamestore so you can not only make money, but also take home a bunch of cool collectibles in the process without having to preorder anything

As an economics professor taught me in college...There is no such thing as a free lunch. I worked at a game store chain for over two years. I heard people every day asking for free stuff. The ones who got some of the cool swag were the ones who were loyal customers. Game stores pay like crap, the goodies are the perks of the job.

Your topic needs to include free asprin please. Give plenty to passing viewers and it'll help out greatly.

Learn the names of these lazy people. Dont just go in asking for any free stuff. Wait untill they are ringing you up before you start hitting them up for free stuff. Give them the impresion that your actualy thinking about what games you want to buy by looking around at the various games and asking them questions about their personal prefrence before you jump them for free stuff. If you buy at the same place for months at a time, they'll eventualy learn your buying habits, learn your average spending limits, and maybe eventualy learn your name as well as what freebies they dont mind throwing your way. You can try saving some money up and getting a pre-paid visa CC card of your own so you dont have to use your mommy and daddy's bank account to buy stuff online as well.

If you have multiple gamestops in your area you can do what I did for my castlevania por preorder bonus. I knew one gamestop had extras of the bonus so I offered to buy the game to get the preorder bonus even though I already had the game. On the way home I stopped by the other gamestop and returned the game and kept the preorder bonus. Later on about a week or so later I was talking with a gamestop employee about castlevania por and they asked if I had the preorder bonus. Obviously I said, "no but I heard it was amazing" and then they went ahead and gave me another one. Eventually you will learn to play the game and get some freebies.

I only ask for the freebies when I am buying something and then I always offer to buy them. Works everytime. Some employees even ring up a pre-order then give me the stuff and then give me a refund right away. I dont think its a good idea to buy nothing and ask for freebies.
