My adventure going to Gamestop for the first time in years.

It's been maybe 3 or 4 years since i was last in a Gamestop (or EB here in the frozen north). But on my way home from work today I drove past one and though i'd go in to see if they had the legacy adapter for rock band 4.
Now i asked the guy if they had the bundle and they did, as he took it up the register i braced myself for the "do you have an edge card, would you like to pre-order (latest game), etc". We got past those with no hard sell and then came the 3 dollar disc protection, i of course said no and boy did he look shocked. Pointing to a scratched up cd taped to the counter he went on to try to get me to pony up an extra 3 bucks ending on how i wouldn't want to spend the price of the bundle plus tax to replace it if something happened. It took a lot of will power not to ask him why the high holy hell i'd have to re buy the adapter if the fucking disc gets scratched, but i just wanted to get out. This is another point for the all digital future, let us all praise our binary overlords.
