Datel's 4GB hdd/2X battery for PSP & dumbass EBGames & Circuit City employees........

well, after spotting one of these fuckers in a Best Buy store in Panama City Beach (FL), i decided to pick one up a few days later at my local Best Buy (Destin, FL). even i think i'm an idiot for picking the shit up. BUT i have memory sticks in these sizes LOADED with shit (emulators, isoloaders, tons of SNES, Neo Geo CD, and Genesis games and more): 1GB, 512MB, 256MB, and 32MB and i plan on rearranging it and using it for more fastloader shit and more DVD transfers.

at first, i was worried about the size and weight of it..........much to my surprise, it's not that big and it weighs a LOT less than one might think. i took it apart (as i've seen in various images) and can confirm that you can easily use any size Compact Flash cards you own as well (just pull out the 4GB microdrive and slap a CF in, up to 4GB). works like a charm. so, that added even more memory to my already abundant collection. this thing isn't for everyone though--if you don't like it, don't get it. if you do a LOT of isoloading, emulation/games, movies, and music, i'd suggest getting it. it's still a lot cheaper than the 2GB memory sticks, plus you get the 2X battery to go along with it (the added shit provides a nice hand grip as well).

on a side note, after seeing it in the PCB Best Buy, i called around locally to find out if anyone had one. first up, EBGames...............BIG MISTAKE. i ask if they have the new 4GB hdd for the PSP in stock and get this.........."uhhhh, they don't MAKE a 4GB hdd for the PSP.......but we should have the new 2GB memory sticks in soon". i tell them hell no, not for the price and that they DO make a hdd for it, but they act like i'm the idiot when i've done my research on the fucking thing, unlike EB's great employees. next up, Circuit City........"a 4GB hdd for the PSP? i don't know, let me check and see"..........(in the background) "they don't make a 4GB psp hdd! only memory sticks....i've never seen it or heard about it"........(guy comes back to the phone) "no we don't, they don't make them.......but we have the memory sticks....".

i hung up wondering if anyone knew what the fuck i was talking about. so i stop at a Gamestop on my way home from work--they tell me they'll have some in within a couple of weeks. after that, i call Best Buy and find out that they have them, but not out on the floor. so i dropped in and snagged one (they only receieved about 3 , the guy said--i saw 2 in the PCB Best Buy).

sorry this shit was long--just wanted to let anyone interested know about it. (i also have the CF reader/movie player for the Nintendo DS, so it's cool to know i can use my old CF's in other places besides my digital camera).

I dont understand why people get mad when a store doesnt have something and the employees check to see if its in inventory and it isnt and you get even more mad.

Retarded ass people.

I think it was more the fact that they act like he's crazy and such a thing doesn't exist. It's not my fault they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. I hate such things as well. Which is why I started going to the store.

 

[Konig]

I wish I knew someone with a psp loaded with Neo Cd / SNES roms... If I could get easy access to that I would drop the money on a psp...otherwise I think the system is lame.

I can maybe understand getting upset at the EB guys since they gave him a hard time and they are a pretty small store.

But getting mad at people that work at circuit city / best buy / other retail place like that because they dont go dig through the giant store room in the back looking for shit that they probably dont have is stupid.

If it isnt in their inventory, you arent getting it. Simple as that. Say thanks anyway and go look elsewhere and stop being a whiney ass faggot about it.

 

[iamyagami22]

I saw one of these today, but I only had 60$ on me so it was a no go.

 

[Spike23]

next time, try pulling your head out of your ass and try to comprehend the simple reason i bitched. those fuckers act as if the item was NEVER MADE/RELEASED and that it DOESN'T EXIST. a fucking employee at a GAME STORE should fucking know. and don't try to tell me it's a "niche" gaming accessory. it's made by the same fucking company that they blatanly push into your face in those stores.......Datel (Action Replay, Action Replay MAX, etc.) maybe they should do some research on it, considering EBGames is now part of Gamestop who told me they were getting some in.

and where do you see that i am pissed off at Best Buy?! i fucking saw it there and purchased it there. i'm not really bitching about stores in general, asshole. i'm bitching about the employees who don't know what the fuck they are talking about and the fact that they treat the fucking customer like a piece of shit. WE AS GAMERS KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON 99% OF THE TIME IN THE GAMING WORLD--SO WHEN I WALK IN AND ASK FOR SOMETHING AND THEY TREAT ME AS IF I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT....THEN FUCK 'EM. they could easily say, "i'm sorry sir, but we don't carry that item". don't say (with a fucking sarcastic tone), "ummm, they don't MAKE anything like that.....they only make the memory sticks, which we have gladly stocked and overpriced like a motherfucker for your enjoyment".

stupid fucks. i can understand that a fucking store might not carry the item i'm asking for. but don't sit and tell me they don't exist and act like i'm an idiot for asking about it--when i've seen it and have now gotten it. simple as that. the only whiney ass faggot i see here is YOU, bitching back about a simple thing i wanted to say. thanks anyway, prick.

[Spike23]

well, it's not the smallest shit in the world, but it's not so big that i can't take it along and still enjoy all the shit i want on it.

yeah, i like Tiger Army and some of the psychobilly shit out there--haven't heard a lot of it though (Nekromantix are good also).

In the pics I saw of this thing... it looked pretty big.

You like Tiger Army? Do you like psychobilly?

The reality is that these people didn't get a job at a game store because they liked games, its because they needed a job.

I don't work a convenience store because i love retail. I have the job because i need it to live.

Nes is right on this one.

You're it can be frustrrating, but there is no reason to get mad at the employees.

 

[BIG]

Quite tempting.

How much did it cost ya?

B-

 

[Spike23]

i understand.........to a point. but in order to keep said "job", the employees should AT THE VERY LEAST learn a little of the trade in which they are now working.

how would you like to drop by an auto shop to have your car tuned up by someone who knows nothing about it? yet they know how to flip a fucking burger.

you can't honestly tell me that you wouldn't be frustrated and pissed if you, the CONSUMER, know more about a certain product than the person pushing it and they try to make you feel as though you're crazy for even asking for something that "doesn't exist". maybe i can't fault the employees 100% here, but the managers or someone in charge there should know the products they plan to sell, especially if they expect any buyers.

Yeah and working in the media department of Best Buy stocking shelves and asking if people need help is a far cry from being a trade.

Carpentry is a trade.

Dude, do yourself a favour and add Nesagwa to your ignore list. He's one of the dumbest fuckers on these boards, moreso than Abster if you ask me.

Anyway, yeah. I think your anger is justified. I too have been treated extremely badly by electronics stores, and I'm reaching the point where enough is enough. My only real option is online only, but I'm seriously considering it.

Case in point: The other day I thought I might trade my preorder deposit on a 360 towards a PSP Giga pack. Future Shop, the local chain, tells me it can't be done. Basically, the money I gave them is unrefundable until after the fucking 360 comes out.

That's fuckin' stupid. I gave them money for something, then they tell me I can't use it for something else. Grr.

All the same, these things happen, and I wasn't really that mad. But the treatment I get from the ignorant ass clerks... That and it's on a long list of shit I've had to endure from these people.

Whatever. Fuck 'em.

 

[Nesagwa]

Says the man who thinks his DS is broken because of the birthday jingle.

 

[Spike23]

HeartlessNinny--the only reason i can see that they would NOT refund your money would simply be because they want to gain a little interest on it while it sits in their bank account until release day. and i'm sure that they also hope that you'll change your mind and blow even MORE money on a 360 than the smaller amount you'd spend for the PSP giga pack. you're right...........fuck 'em. i usually hit someone up on the boards here for items i may want or need........or i'll go the online route and pick up most of my imports (shooters and fighters mostly). if i were you, i'd pick your cash up on 360 release day and if you still want one, go somewhere else and try to pick one up.......don't give those fuckers your money after they've already gained interest on it.

Nesagwa--alright, ass-clown........a trade is something you LEARN. as with the definitions i posted, that would fall into that category. ("he learned his trade as an apprentice")--you learn a "trade" when someone teaches you an occupation or prepares you for a job.

 

[Spike23]

Says the man who thinks his DS is broken because of the birthday jingle.

well, maybe the guy didn't know it had a special birthday jingle (Nintendo seems to get off on all this kiddie-type shit like that. he asked a simple fucking question, if you don't have an honest answer, shut the fuck up. i see that you posted a decent reply to it, but then decided to say something smartassed here simply because he chose to agree with me on a few things and also point out that some facts about you that i've seen in your responses.

This response only goes to show that you have no patience and no sense of other people's humanity. You are obviously a spoiled brat who thinks he's entitled to the same foolish indulgence his mommy lavished on him from everyone he comes across. Well, game store employees aren't your mommy and neither is anyone on this board and you ain't entitled to shit. Grow up and start taking responsiblity for yourself and your beliefs rather than spinning around spitting up blame at everyone around you like a fucking toddler. You won't win sympathy from anyone in the world but the other spoiled brats and spoiled brats don't really have sympathy for anyone but themselves when it comes down to the nitty gritty.
