    Okay not really. I traded some games in to get a second copy. Oh and the game isn't for me, it's for my older brother. See, me and my brother really bonded over Mass Effect. It's our game. He's played it countless times. We always talk about it. When I beat Mass Effect 2, I realized I don't have anyone to talk about it with, because he's gonna be short on money for awhile. So I took a long look at my collection and selected the games I would no longer miss. I figure I'd rather lose some games and gain something to talk about with my brother.

    All these games PLUS a hard drive for a copy of a single game that came out 3 years ago? Something ain't right here...

    Goddammit! I know that and I've been trying to fix it ever since I realised it like 2 seconds after I posted it but the edit feature just sits there loading...good to know the quickest response time in human history is to correct someone on a forum.

    He's still got a point though. All that shit for only one game is a rip off.

    I did... because I work there... and... you know... get a discount.
     
    Yeah it was a weak trade, It was only around 50 some odd bucks but... most of them were fairly old. Also a few of them were in less then great shape because I either both them used from Amazon or they were just well played.

    Hey, it pays. Not great but it's a good job. However it always makes me sad when I hear about shitty Gamestop experiences.  I also don't agree with all of our policies... but what can I do about it? Work my way up the corporate ladder? maybe. However I hear the trade value of a human soul is kind of weak.

    I did a similer, but cheaper and annoying thing, because I got Mass Effect 2 Collectors Edition a few days after release and let my brother borrow it since he was really into Mass Effect 1, just finished his last game and dosent have any money to get mass effect for at least a month. I wish I hadent because I really want to play it now but it was the nice thing to do :| And knowing his playstyle he will be done at most by saturday and I can spend as long as I want with it.

    I would have done that but I'm kind of sketchy about loaning out CE's to -anyone-. He also lives a couple hundred miles away so... Figured why not just get him his own copy?

    I have never had that problem, although really I lent him the normal version since I wanted to keep the art book and he didnt care about it, and I will lend out anything im not currently using (and sometimes even that). It so comes up a lot since I have friends who are into Anime which has an increased price compared to "normal" DVD's/Blu-Rays and no one will ever let me borrow anime's (but will for everything else) so I have to buy that kind of thing myself but even an anime box-set which is relativly rare and relativly dear (for example I payed £50 for a 20 episode anime) I  happily lend out to any of my friends if they want to see it. It might be diffret if Collectors Edition had anything to do with being a "Collectors" item but that this point its just the version with extra content so all it ends up meaning is the box is a diffrent size.
