I just called up both Gamers Hideout centres and neither of the staff members who answered my phone knew what Metroid Prime was and what system it was on. Doesn't sound like a real gamers hideout to me if they don't even know what Metroid Prime is ;p

I can understand if they didn't recognise some of the titles for the Wii but to not know one of the biggest game franchises in the world? All they probably associate the Wii with is probably pokemon, mario and Wii sports.
I have a feeling that if you ask for Super Smash Brothers Brawl, you'll also get a blank look.
I guess I'm shocked because these people are supposed to be in tune with the games industry and not just have their head stuck with particular systems (unless their job specifies that they need to do that...even then... if you love games... you'll know...)

Its not easy to keep up with all available games ya know.  ya their focus is pure on 360. And when u visit the shop, while they are in the middle of gaming, u better come back later. 'cos you basically either won't be entertained, or they gave u very annoyed treatment. very basic and straight forward biznez path in GH... it's either you buy or scrammed... no questions ask.

normal in Malaysia.... we pay high price and expect professional services and quality products, they have less competitors so don't even bother to entertain you (you want buy just buy ... don't want buy get out... stop asking so much questions).
Most of the time those who sell pirated copies are more knowledgeable, treat you like his/her own friend and 1 to 1 exchange of any problems appeared...
