I'm not sure how many people are aware, but Sony and Microsoft both have Retail Loyalty Sites available to those who work at approved retailers of their products. Basically, since I work at GameStop, I get to go to these fancy sites and learn about their products and take little quizzes to test this knowledge. Upon completion of quizzes I earn points that can be redeemed for merchandise. Sony's is currently free (though they play to start charging but are promising better stuff) and Microsoft charges a bit of money. Either way, it's pretty awesome considering I've gotten Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Resistance, Pursuit Force, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, and a Dual Shock 3 from Sony for absolutely nothing. And before Microsoft upped their prices I got Gears of War, PGR3, Viva Pinata, Halo, Halo 2, the original Forza, and another wireless 360 controller from MS for $50. That was just my first order from them.
Okay, so that bloated explanantion turned out to be a bit of a bragging fest, but I can't help it, it's just really awesome for a gamer like me. Well, sometimes when you complete quizzes you get entered in for contests and it turns out I am a grand prize winner in Sony's MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Sweepstakes! Sadly it wasn't one of the big contests where I get a system or anything, but I have a free MotorStorm hat coming my way! So remember kids, working retail can sometimes have its benefits!
