Pokken and Twilight Princess HD. I do most of my vidya buying from best buy since they introduced the gamers club thing. %20 off all new games is great.
I'm in the UK, but the equivalent for me would I think be "Crysis 2" for the PS3.
I enjoyed it, but now i have it on PC and see how much better it is here.

I know you aren't allowed to touch anyone, what do you do? Chase them to their car and snap a pic of the licence plate?
Good stories?
>>333622183
How often would you say somebody gets caught lifting products?
If YOU catch somebody what can and can you not do to the culprit?
Disgaea 5. They still had the collector's edition for a regular price.
>>333622183do you think you're some kind of super serious retail cop like the lady who worked loss prevention at my target did?
couldn't stand her. then they pulled out of canada. PREVENT THAT LOSS BITCH
>>333622630
>I know you aren't allowed to touch anyone
Ha! We had a Gypsy try to take an iMac. Like casually try to walk out with it. I stopped him and he went into panic mode. After we took the iMac away he tried sprinting out of the store. I grabbed him at the exit and tossed him about 5 feet back then we detained him until the police came and arrested him. Fucking gypsies.
>>333622640
Depends. Sometimes I catch kids try to steal a game. i just throw them out. I don't have time to wait for Chicago PD plus the paper work.
>If YOU catch somebody what can and can you not do to the culprit?
Well in order to detain someone I have to see them enter the store with nothing, go in the area, grab the item, and either conceal and walk out of the store or just plain walk out without paying for it. We legally can grab them and detain them. You might be wondering what happens if they try to fight. Technically we're not supposed fight but hey, we get bored up there.
>>333622697
Nah. I'm Ex Army. I'm pretty chill with people and generally have good self control. I know I'm not a cop and I know what I can and cannot do. I don't want to be that stereotypical douche tool who harasses people. Generally I direct customers to where they can find items and shit. Sometimes I shoot the shit with people and sometimes I'll stop people from buying shitty products like Beats "Hey are these good" " Nah try the Sennheisers over there".

>2 weeks ago
Shovel Knight - $20 (not on sale - was way shorter than I thought but don't really regret it. There is enough replay value for me)
Until Dawn - $20 (on sale from $40 - got way more than I expected from it. No buyers remorse)
>few months ago
Dark Souls 2: SotFS - $20 (on sale from $40 - had played vanilla and just wanted to experience the dlc. Got exactly what I was expecting. Vastly improved my feelings on DaS2 overall. No buyer's remorse).

One of those multicolored xbobe controllers. We returned it since it didn't have the proper drivers to work with our PC.

Dark Souls 2

In America we can use the necessary amount of force to prevent loss. During the old days before social media and cameras they'd just take them out back and beat the shit out of them. My boss would tell me stories.

GTX 760 SC for $300 about 3 years ago.
PS4, Until Dawn, and MGSV on Black Friday. They were out of Bloodborne so I matched them at Target afterward.

Dong Freeze when it became a Nintendo Select.
I tried buying RAM when my computer was fucked and they kept trying to sell me flash drives. It was very frustrating.

Yesterday getting an eshop card.
Theres a small GS up around the corner from me and the people who work there aren't faggots.
Twilight Princess HD
Before that? Skyward Sword in 2011.
Funny how I keep buying the Zelda games from BB, when I get everything else on Amazon.
>>333618640
I bought an SSHD for my Steam library like a week ago. Before that I dont even remember. I normally get my games from either Amazon, Steam, or fucking GameStop these days.
>>333619928
>A better question is when was the last time you set foot in a gamestop.
I set foot on it once in a while but I never buy anything. The last thing I bought from there was like 10 years ago. I really don't like GameStop.
My picks would go like this:
Amazon > Best Buy > Walmart > literally anything, Kmart or Target I dont give a fuck > just buy it digitally if available >>>> GameStop
I always remember the last thing I ever bought from a Toys R Us; I got Ribbit King from the bargain bin towards the end of Gamecube's lifespan. Still the best purchase I made there.

>>333627031
And backpack space.
Cant forget about that.
wii u controller thing, needed it that night. Nowhere else had it and I was confused and afraid
>>333618640
Couple days ago I got Until Dawn and Quantum Break from there because Amazon shit the bed on my order and I got sick of waiting.
I don't mind BB, I just prefer the convenience of Amazon and that Prime discount.
I refuse to even get near a Gamestop though. Crowded, hot, dirty, smells bad, and pressure tactics in every single location. It's like they try to embody the NEET essence in every store.
Someone here mentioned it earlier.
They had a buy one get one free on 3DS games.
I got Kirby and my brother got some Mario sports game.
Haven't been back since.
SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2 for PSP
>they didn't have the headset
>>333618640
I don't think I've bought any video game related item at all from Best Buy in the last five years. I can't remember ever getting a single video game there.
>>333628517
>They had a buy one get one free on 3DS games.
When was this?
I'd love to get MM3D and ALBW this way.
N3DS
Animal Crossing
Link Between Worlds
Took me way too long to get a 3ds, being an unemployed drunk makes buying games hard
>>333618640
I got Sly 4 there for like $5 a couple years ago. Then the PS3 died and I never opened the game.
Xbox 360 wired controller
Forza Horizon
Witcher II

Not my fault you guys have retarded sales.
I want to say two black Fridays ago I bought Final Fantasy Theatrhythm Curtain Call special edition for 20 or so. Pretty good purchase looking at it now
>>333618820
I'm switching to gamer's club once my Gamestop membership is up. I don't like buying used so I have no real reason to continue membership. Although Game Informer is somewhat better than Best Buy's zine; then again, I got BB's zine right when it started so it could have improved since then.
Not vidya but I bought the blu ray for this film there last summer so I could watch it with my Japanese class. Other than that I think I bought a 1tb external in fall 2014 for my laptop and a cheap headset there in 2013. Can't remember before those.
>>333618640
A subwoofer for my video game room.
Makes a huge difference.
>>333631269
Was it good? Did you cri?
>>333618640
Some Skylanders a couple years ago for my nephews birthday. There isn't a best buy around here, his party was out of town.
Wind Waker HD since it was 10 bucks off and it stacks with the gaeber club 20% off discount, so it was $32.
Are you trying to imply that this is a bad thing?
>>333628861
Pretty sure it was summer 2014. I came in 10 minutes after the store opened and all the copies of Bravely Default, ALBW and Kirby were gone.
>>333632943
Of course it's good. Didn't cry that time because a few autists were talking which distracted me. I do regret missing the theatrical release
>>333634064
Wasn't it directed by the same guy as Grave of the Fire Flies?
Cannot unsee
>>333619004
Same here. On release day.
>>333618640
I actually despise shopping at this place, all the employees are like vultures out to sell you crap for commission.
They also like to insult people's intelligence like they don't know whist about the product their looking at, like bro don't spew a bunch of horseshit about how this computer is top of the line gaming, I'm looking at the specs as you give me an unsolicited schpeel and it's overpriced garbage.
>>333631269
Can I ask a question? Anyone else, feel free to reply as well.
I want to start buying movies, but I'm put off by how some Blu Rays are shittier than their DVD counterpart. What do you guys usually do? Look into it beforehand? Gamble?
>>333634152
Yeah. He also has directed other excellent movies, only yesterday, my neighbors the yamadas, pom pom, gauche the cellist. Highly recommended.
>>333634796
>some Blu Rays are shittier than their DVD counterpart
What do you mean by this? I don't buy that many physical movies so I'm not sure what you are talking about but most new blu ray releases have a slipcover and look pretty nice.
>>333631062
you lying piece of shit that thing was gamestop exclusive
>>333634778
Except no one gets commission. They're expected to meet a bunch of shitty unattainable "sales goals" that they don't actually get paid extra for.
>>333618640
Bought the Megaman Legacy Collection with the Gold Megaman amiibo two months ago.
>>333635124
I just mean that I hear that some Blu Rays have their flaws. For instance, the Robocop BR has terrible lighting, I heard of some DBZ BRs not having film grain and looking way too polished, etc..
Here's an example someone showed me.

Notice how blurry and filtered it is compared to the left.
The Smash 4 GC adapter, Best Buy as the only electronics store carrying it, every other place was sold out.
>>333636257
Disney did fuck all their old animations with horrible DNR, which sucks. I recommend you read Amazon reviews before you purchase and look for mentions of video quality. That is usually a good indicator. Most blu rays you buy won't have any problems
>>333618640
Sly Cooper Thieves In Time, and a new monitor, since my old one got pushed off the table by my fat fuck cat.
I keep my monitor velcro'd to the table now.
