Really glad gamestop is getting into pc parts. There was no need to reinvent the wheel, just provide a better alternative to newegg and as far as I can tell, they're doing that. 2 weeks for the gpu is gross but it's far better than "7 to 31 business days" that newegg has been letting their sellers get away with.
@@Raansu Physical games are not disappearing it’s just companies are doing half lazy releases and selling you the rest Val DLC not to mention they wanna control your games via DRM & such, i will always support both media if given the option.
@@Raansu The real reason for this isn't because "devs are lazy," it's because load times are significantly faster even if the only difference is loading off an HDD vs the disk. And current gen consoles (PS5, Series X/S) have SSDs. Actually loading these games off the Blu-Ray would probably multiply your load times by 10.
Austin! I didn’t know much about tech before watching your channel, just build my first pc because of your expertise and humor. Thank you sir!! Keep it up!
Can confirm this is all true. I needed to build a new rig for gaming and also for content creation, and while searching online, was pleasantly surprised by their offerings! Built my PC, but also got a gaming chair, lighting equipment and some other decor that fit my vibe. One of the items was sent wrong, but when I reached out to customer service they actually sent me the correct item and let me keep the incorrect item which I ended up using anyways. Shocked Pikachu face.
This is what companies do when they are starting up a new service. This is the company that gives people $0.25 for a game they resell for $30. This is the company that sells "Refurbished" consoles that are dirty and broken. Don't ever forget that. They just pimped you so you would advertise for them and it worked.
@@SomeOldGamers Wrong. A billionaire investor shook up the board last year and has been reinventing the company. Their new mission is to delight customers - just like they did at Chewy.

omg I thought I recognized that gamestop! I had a friend who used to work there! I never realized you guys were so close to where I live. hope to see you one day!
Video Idea: Compare a mid range Gaming PC from 2022 to a high end gaming PC from few years ago while having the price of both the same, it will help you determine what is the most bang for the buck.
can i get a GS employee to chime in here? you're going to have people coming in for PC tech support and that's loads different than the sort of existing GS tech support which is more like "i like this video game" and "this console isn't powering on wat do" shrug
3:31 they looked at all of your same day purchases and said " yikes, some nerd is actually trying to build a proper gaming PC, we need to restock before he/she calls us out!"
Ok do this same video but the first half. Go and ask a gsmestop employee to build you one. Basically instead of you knowing what you want. Have the associate inside order the parts for you.
Fr, that's my chase card. I bought all the blister packs my local Gamestop had last time I was there and no luck. Glad a content creater got the fire pull though 🔥, especially with a Gamestop exclusive box.
Wonder how much they would offer for that? GameStop should really improve their trade in pricing. I think more people would actually trade in games if they gave at least half what they will sell it for. I can understand on some games but like elden ring they offered me 5 dollars cash after I beat it and they were selling used for 55.
@@MiguelY22 my point exactly. If they actually put the customers first and changed some of the trade in value ratios it might initially hurt profit but over time would really save the company
I mean from what I understand, either micro center bought out GameStop or GameStop bought out micro center. So obviously it was bound to come sooner or later.
But can I walk in and buy parts in store? That would be a huge benefit over all the competitors other than Micro Center [although since MC has way more locations, they could still win there]
Does Austin know the difference between amd and intel motherboard?? At 0:52 when he showed the boards and said “they mostly only have amd boards” over half of every board pictured there was intel lol.
hey! so im working on a new pc and just wanted to see if these parts sound great before i go out and buy them if you don't mind. CPU - Intel Core i7-12700K GPU - Either the 3060 or 3060ti RAM - 32gb DDR4 3600 MOTHERBOARD - ASUS Prime Z690-P and powering that would be a 850w power supply. (this will be used for streaming/gaming)
its not unpopular, its true for MSRP and even most market prices Also funny at Austin saying "for basically MSRP" when its like 200 bucks over MSRP even if MSRP is all fantasies
Make a video cable management inside the back of the PC, put as much RGB in a pc as possible and how to connect them, AND use different brand fans to see if it makes a difference
