I actually bought games off amazon that were marked as 30 dollars despite gamestop still selling it for 59.99
I ended up getting a better trade in value and made some money doing this but Gamestop actually uses your ID to track returns you've made so it's not like you can buy 20 copies of the same game off amazon and trade them in at different gamestops.

lmfao you kids paying for "discounts" are stupid.

This was when the exploit was first found.
I bought CN and OoT+save dongle just in case.

I remember they tried to bullshit me on pre-ordering to get the event pokes and called them out on their bullshit. I threatened to e-mail and call corporate about the pre-order only bullshit so they instantly scrambled and didnt want that heat on their location from corporate so they just gave me 10 of each and told me no trabble next time.
>>337031474
considering i get $12/hr for six hours once a week, plus 15% discount on shitty video games + price matching...my time is worth quite a bit apparently.
$72 roughly a week and since i don't buy vidya frequently (games just aren't worth buying at $60 these days, since games are shit tier. fuck cock of dooty and the other AAA shit, and indies are all the same copypast ebullshit)

What's wrong with Ninjhax?
>>337032110
i don't JUST work at walmart dude. it's impossible to have internet, food, and a place to stay on $72/week. I was saying that instead of paying money to get a 20% discount, I ultimately get anywhere from 15 to 30% discount AND GET PAID FOR IT for little work that is hardly time consuming (walmart).
I am a teacher and also work at walmart. total income is $40k/year. play vidya in my spare time.
>>337032250
unemployment, just like employment, is a cycle. you're making roughyl minimum wage, it's alright. soon you'll break out of minwage and land a good job that pays at least $15/hr or ~40k salary. good luck brother.

Even 600 bucks is not enough for most people if you have to pay rent. At least in Yurop.
Seriously, the price for rent and housing in general has gotten absurdly expensive over the last ten years. I know so many people over the age of 20 that still live with their parents because they simply can't afford anything else.
It's ridiculous.

They aren't different by much. I don't consider them my favorite games, but I like bringing along my original party throughout the series. In all likelyhood, yes it will be a turd. But I'll still buy it like the shitter I am, and I'd rather have the prettier one.

If you guys have access to a pot and a strainer, get some generic mac n cheese, a can of peas and some tuna, you can make a pretty delicious platter that has a good amount of nutrients. they're big servings so you can spread out the leftovers over a few days. mix in hotdogs slices, carrots, or corn sometimes to keep things fresh so you don't get sick of it

>>337034239
no, but i bought her boba last week. i encountered her again and i asked her if she wanted some boba. she just nodded and we quietly spent time in that cafe without saying a word, but she seemed happy. it was mid-day so no one was there. and of course, she abruptly left. i wonder when i'll see her again. it's like trying to get a cat to like you

no, i see all the people i've ever tried to avoid who wanted to be my friend because "hey, you like anime? i like anime too! lets be friends because everyone who likes anime must be the same kind of quirky nerdy annie may fanboy/girl that I am XD"
i just want to like anime and not have that automatically make me an "anime fan"

you are in fact a fan of the stuff but how you go about it is your choice

If it weren't for the fact that Gamestop is the only one who sells the blue vitas I'd never go into another Gamestop again. But that will be my last trip.

I bought Estival Versus at Gamestop with no problems. Seems to me you just made it overly complicated in your head.
>>337032362
That doesn't seem so bad.
I've picked up senran from a girl cashier and there wasn't even a dialogue, no funny looks, no shame.
You make things out to be really bad and cringey in your head but it's never a big deal.

That's opened
>it's the last one we have man it's never been played
It's just the fucking attitude of this manlet and the fact that it was opened that pissed me off. If I fucking brought in a game I never fucking played that wasn't sealed they would act like it's pre-owned.
>>337046313

Beeing real tho, thats the one of the things that pisses me off the most about normies, why do they buy all this shit on christmas and other holydays?

>>337033017
Enlighten me then?
/v/, this technically isn't exclusively to do with video games, but I want you to educate me on it anyway.
Why does buying from a store generally cost more than buying from the net?
I went to buy a lens for my camera the other day, and basically a lens that I saw online for £150 cost £250 at the store.
The guy in the store even said "we can't compete with the convenience and price of the internet".....THEN HOW ARE THESE FUCKING STORES STILL IN BUSINESS?
What the fucking shit. Surely the stores should be cheaper.

Mario Maker is a 2d game
Even the NSMB style is just 2d using 2d sprites that appear 3d

After going to that gamestop many times though dude is pretty chill as are the other employees. That new ipad shit they got seems to make things take longer though
i've noticed that gamestop has a lot of older PS3 games for unbeatable prices
anyways, anyone can sell on the internet. whether they get it at a discounted or regular wholesale price, they can choose to list items at under regular retail price. my family and i do this with our shop. we mark some higher and mark some lower

>>337028782
So it is true, what they say about this place.
>>337032362
I went in with a friend once to have him pick up Estival versus because I told it was good. The manager was talking about some employee that loved the shit out of the game and it was basically just a funny discussion about ridiculous fan service.
I actually really like the people that work at my gamestop, too bad they work for a shitty company.
