I'm guessing gamestop with the b2g1 pre-owned sale
Makes sense. Half the best games are Wii U titles and might as well wait to see if the next is fully backwards compatible.
Yep, and I knew it going in because I had for years snubbed digital for this exact reason. Now I just don't want the clutter and our local GS actually closed down which was extremely shocking TBH. The area is going through a boomtown renovation and we're getting a ton of higher quality stores/restaurants, but GS apparently didn't make the cut lol (probably meant their lease was increasing and was no longer solvent). Suffice to say, it would be even more cumbersome to go half an hour out of the way to do trade-ins now so screw it.
Dollar General has to be a mythical beast because wherever I've lived we only ever have Dollar Tree around. I do see one on the map now but I'd have to go out of my way, at which point gas eats the savings. RIP.
ing everywhere. Just like we have Dollar Trees everywhere.
Oh yeah I forgot they would still sale old games
I went in one to get some gamestop credit. They only except cash for gift card purchases. Never seen that before. I had to go bank since I don't carry cash anymore. Also, any high transaction will shut the register down. If not for the 15 percent, I would never set foot in one of them.The funny thing is, places that do have a few of them have them
Most places will flag you if you're trying to buy a high transaction of gift cards, mostly due to how scammers target the elderly into buying gift cards for them. It's unfortunate but I'm glad they do it to safeguard against that kind of scam.
Nice haul. I see you have a few GameStop generic artworks in there. Do you put any effort into putting in better artwork?
Yes. I will exchange instore over time when when i find a preowned copy with artwork. Elden Ring and RE4 should be relatively easy to find. P5T will be more difficult. I had to return / reorder
P5T because they sent me a vanilla P5 disc at first. But that's the nature of GS roulette. On the positive side, I landed unexpected stuff like a preowned SMTV steelbook & preowned Akiba's Trip LE contents.True, it does look nicer than ESRB. It's the nicest non-ESRB region you could get
Don't buy any dlc/digital games so also doesn't matter to me. All about what's on the cart/disc only.
IMHO, prices notwithstanding, the biggest reason to expand beyond NA releases is that EU/Asia get releases the U.S. never sees -- or in some instances, get better versions, too. Monster Hunter Stories got only a physical release overseas on Switch whereas the U.S. only gets a digital release. Life is Strange 2 in Japan on PS4 has all the episodes on the disc whereas the U.S. one requires episode downloads.
I get that. I do get the North American release whenever possible, also for collecting sake.
Meh. Doesn't bother me, especially when the PAL versions are significantly less than the other regional versions. I buy to play, not to stare at font/text alignments.
Or in some cases it's the only one available. Though that's uncommon. I have tales of Eternia psp as an example since it was eu/jpn only. Still weird that ubisoft localized that.
I believe this happened to me last year. The amount capped off at like $750 and it ended up giving the register problems. Ultimately I had to initiate a charge back after back and forth with the manager. That time I ended up paying the rest cash. This year, I ended up buying $500 each on 3 separate days, all the same location. I paid with my credit card, no issues. So cash only is YMMV on location.
