New Purchases/ short gamestop rant.

Today I set out on a journey to buy two new games. It has been a while since I had ventured to the lying/ deceiving douse-bags they call gamestop. Last time I was there I bought BF BC. My plans for today were to take advantage of the turn in three games get 15$ deal. With that 15$ I would get a more card. With that more card I would get more money on the three games I turned in, and would save on ncaa 09 used. Then with all that money I saved I would have enough to buy rock band 2. Flawless correct?



This plan all went down to toilet when Gamestop was once again, under stocked on a HUGE game coming out. For some unforeseen reason, I never got around to pre-ordering it. This morning I figured with the lack of advertisement/ over stock gamestop SHOULD have, that I would be able to find it. But no, the dude said they only had 5 copies that weren't pre-orders. Seriously? 5? Now who knows if this idiot was right, but still. If he says 5, that means that there were very few copies. 

Also what sucked was that part of the deal was that the 3 next gen games you turned in had to be over a value of 1 dollar. I decided to turn in Harry Potter, Order of the Phoenix for the wii.  The Bigs and Fifa World Cup for the 360. This is what I could get for each game. 


1.00$?!! WTF
1.00$?!! WTF
7.00$
7.00$
9.00$
9.00$











So you're saying I could get more money for a shitty old ass ps2 game (recently turned in madden 07 for 5 bucks) for 5 times as much as a good xbox 360 game? Once again a little thing gamestop does to piss me off. So no 15 dollars for me. 

Thinking on my feet, I suddenly realized that I had already transfered my songs over to rockband 2, so I will have no need for the rockband 1 disk. So next weekend I will turn in The Bigs, Harry Potter, and Rockband in, and get my 15$. I assume maybe 10$ for rockband so I'll be looking at around 41$ for everything. Not to mention the 10% I'll get with my edge card. Still a rip off. But its easy, quick, and what else am I going to do with those games? 

So I'm sitting here with ncaa 09 used copy, which looks like it was taken out of the box once. I love getting lucky when it comes to used games. I payed 50 bucks for it, which I'm content with. I pretty much payed 50 bucks for a used game. Next weekend I'll end up paying around 20 bucks for rockband 2. This has gone long, so tomorrow I'll blog about the dumbass at the counter at Gamestop. 

Until then,
Stephen
