Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Limited Edition - Had a hell of a time getting this one. I set out to visit three of my local EBGames/Gamestop's. The first one in the mall, I asked the guy, and he looked at me as if he had never heard of the game before, so when I ask about Metal Gear Saga, he obviously knows shit.
I promptly leave that hole, and head to the EBGames down the street, I confront the guy, and after an explaination as to what Subsistence even is, the clerk punches it out on the computer, and proceeds to lecture me on how they are so rare, and it will become impossible to pre-order the damn thing - Hmmm, so let me get this straight, I come in and have to explain what Subsistence even is, and you come back telling me that it's a rare game that I'm not going to be able to order? Right.
I lastly arrive to a GameStop with a terrible parking lot that could maybe fit 10 cars maximum for the whole three stores in the "shopping centre". I come in, and after asking to preorder Subsistence, he gives me a little puzzled look, and then again punches it in on the computer. He responds with AMAZING newfound knowledge that they had, "Recieved a call not to let any more pre-orders for the game." Hmm. Now, all of these stores also had no idea what Metal Gear Saga was, so I, being ridiculously frustrated, head home, open up my browser, and a pre-order for Subsistence is glowing clear as day on the home page of both EbGames.com and Gamestop.com...
I'm done with retail stores - FOREVER.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
