Topic: Gamestop's trickry!!

[Oralox]

I entered the store and found a sign saying Castlevania Dracula x chronicles available now!

What is a Gamestop?
A miserable little pile of secrets!!

[DarkLavos]

Gamestop is just stupid.

Tricksy little gamestop hobbits took the precious! Curses...

Uhh... that's a marketing error on the store's part. They put a sign there without thinking. I work at Gamestop, there's no official marketing like that.

Although we did get our 8-bit Simon figurines in. :3

Yup, I work at a Gamestop as well, and to my knowledge, no official marketing.

  The figurines are in?! Crap, I gotta go in tomorrow, it's been a few days since I was last scheduled...>_> Damn, the things I miss...

Was in EB yesterday. No pre-order 8-Bit Simon figures yet. :|

Yeah, a used Bioshock is only about $5 cheaper used. But it goes according to how popular the title is and how often it gets traded in.

yea..... but game crazy isn't exactly better either......

... No they don't. As Kale stated: it depends on the popularity of the game.

Not only, but their used games are always guaranteed to work just fine, and that's something that they value themselves in.

I'm about to start renting games again. No late fees!

I feel stupid...what do you mean?  (feels like he's being slow, and probably is...)

I've never trusted Gamestop because I've been burned in the past all to many times. Since LoI, I've reserved every game onward in hopes of getting a bonus. I've NEVER gotten a bonus, be it at stores or online, I've ALWAYS gotten the shaft. Particularly with the 20th Anniversary PoR bonus, which I reserved BEFORE my sister did(she reserved it a couple of days before it actually came out), and SHE got the bonus and I didn't. We both reserved it online, too. That's why I just accepted that I was never meant to have a bonus item. It's not "fated" for me. Someone "up there" is laughing at me and my misfortune, obviously.

Oh well, yeah, I'm going to get the game AFTER it's released. No more pre-orders for me.

Y'know, that's a dumb reason not to preorder from us.

Fact is, it isn't like preorder costs you anything, it still gives you the reserved copy, you've already payed a part of your cost, AND you might get the bonus this time around.

Even though, it's probably a bit late by now, since the Simon figurines were VERY limited.


I preordered mine in early July I believe. Could have been earlier. First in the system to do so in the Mid-West!
