I actually forgot all about the keychain. Went in to pick up my game and Ron, the store manager, said, "Do you want your keychain in the bag or do you want to use it now. At first, I was like, what are you talking about. I was kindof tired and out of it, and then I remembered. I actually love it! Its alot higher quality than I thought it would be. I figured it would be plastic. But nope. Nice shiny gold metal. I can't believe people only think its 'meh'. Plus comparting it to something you paid for doesn't make any sense. I would hope that an item I actually paid for would be of higher quality. Well, I just made it home from picking up my game and a few other errands. I still need to wash clothes. I will start those and then start this game! I need to complete it before the podcast next weekend, so I can talk about the game in full, ect, ect. @ShadowlinkReally? Do you have Gamestops in Australia? I think its kindof bullshit that different regions do not get all the same goodies. I think all the bundles, games, ect should be offered to everyone in the world, no matter which country, region they live in. |

@ShadowlinkReally, the stores still go by the EB name? Thats kindof weird since Gamestop did buy them out. I really don't have any issues with Gamestops, plus I comlplete those online surveys from E-rewards and I get a $25 gift card for GS every 3 months, so I definely like taking advantage of that. Only thing I hate about GS is the pittance amount of money they give for trade-ins. Unless the game is only like 1 or 2 months old, they really drop the price alot. So, I try to sell my used games on ebay. But like today, I had my $25 gift card and I was low on cash, so I traded my copy of Streetfighter IV 3D, cause I never play it. And I only got like $10 for the game, but between that and what I had left over on another gift card, I didn't have to pay anything for the Mario 3D game. If it wasn't for SS coming out next weekend, I would have just paid out the cash and kept my SFIV game to sell online, but there isn't enough time for all of that. Also, I only paid like $15 for SF IV, so I didn't feel too bad for only getting $10 out of it. But still, I thought I would at least get around $15-$20 for the game. Oh well. |

@gamewizard65Well EB has the brand recognition here, not Gamestop. So after the buyout, it makes sense to keep the name that everyone was familiar with. My issue with EB is just the general lack of personal service. Back in the day when I asked for a Wind Waker preorder, they told me they were sold out and not to bother going anywhere else because it'd be the same everywhere (Nintendo already allocated pre-order stock or something). That's when my friend put me onto the aforementioned indy store. I went there the night before the official release, plonked down $5 less than EB were charging, and got a copy with the bonus OoT/Master Quest disc. Then when I pre-ordered Metroid Prime from EB, I just got attitude. 'Really? Metroid Prime? Alright. You know we haven't taken many preorders for this title.' Yeah fuck you, stuck up EB employee. To be fair that was probably just the Bankstown store, not EB as a whole. But I got to know the indy retailer, and started buying all my stuff there. I'd always get games before the streetdate, a few bucks cheaper, and sometimes if I was really lucky, copies of free games that just weren't selling. If I ever wanted a popular title (or console at launch), I'd just ring her and let her know, and there'd always be a copy waiting for me behind the counter when I walked in. Plus all the import titles I was able to get my hands on. I've mellowed a little bit towards EB over the years, but like I said, I generally don't give them any money unless they've got a really sweet deal going on. These days I usually go to one of the bigger general electronic retailers. Prices are generally cheaper, and you don't get any asshattery from dick employees. |
