[:plant:] Gamestop Game Days Sale 09

I think I might pick up Namco Museum Virtual Arcade for $15. I own Pac-Man CE and Mr. Driller Online already, but that's still quite a few achievement point games. Plus it apparently has Bosconian, and I freaking love Bosconian on the Namco TV Games plug & play thingy I have.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I happened to be at the mall anyway today, and it was nice to see that Gamestop gutted all their copies of Namco Museum specifically for this sale. All the copies in the bin felt perfectly new and even had bits of the seals and plastic wrap still clinging to the sides. It's not like I was expecting to get a new copy, but at least last year they only stuck the shelf copies in the bins.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've also heard that employees take new games home and play them before selling them to customers, but that could just be a rumor.

That's not a rumor; it used to be company policy that they could do that. Now they supposedly don't, but who knows. As for the gutting, it's supposedly some sort of archaic anti-theft system.

You'll probably have good luck looking for the Diablo and Warcraft battle chests. I usually see several of those in Gamestops.

How ya doing, buddy?
