[:plant:] Gamestop Game Days Sale 09

FFTA2 was actually at the same price at Circuit City a few days after Christmas. Of course, CC is now gone so Gamestop now pretty much can do what they want. Kinda like how I went to Staples and their deals weren't that great. The deals didn't have to be anymore.

Anyway, I waited for quite a while and was able to finally snag FFT:WotL and also CastleVania. Nothing else really interested me that much.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Regarding the guts, we do it for this sale because at a given time, a bunch of stores have several people getting the same game. Its so that they can get themselves one, but the majority of those we still have sealed. Official policy on rentals doesn't allow new titles. I'd do it on DS games if I could, but not on a disc. We're to wait for used titles and only when we have a bunch of 'em in.

(No I'm not. About the only game I see on the 360 worth getting for me is Tomb Raider Anniversary. And that's only because I don't already own it.)

Actually, get it. It still works with our free guitar deal, and you can trade in the game for 5 bucks, so essentially the guitar is only $5.

Valkyria is worth 60, so half price, hell yeah!

Also PSP on the..... PSP. New game and from what I've played, its great.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was able to snag Castlevania and Silent Hill for PSP. I would have picked up FFT for PSP also but they didn't have it. For $9.99 they're good deals to me. (On a side note, I cannot believe Daxter is $4.99 now.) Also, I saw that Hidden & Dangerous was marked down to 99 cents not $4.99 as I thought it would be. I almost bought it just for kicks, but then I thought, if it's that low, maybe it will eat my HD or something if I bothered to install it.

I was under the impression that the price was for the game only.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nothing much here, but I might pick up FFTA2 for DS tomorrow, if there's still any left. I heard it was pretty sweet, and seeing as how it's usually around 30 bucks unless I catch a sale, I might as well go for it. But I'm kinda trying to save for something else. Dilemma dilemma. I do have the money for this, but I'm not getting a job again until I'm on summer vacation, so 20 bucks won't be too easy to come by until then.

FELIPE NO

And you'd be right.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Dragon Quest: Swords is the only thing I might consider getting. Sad how many of those look like they're just the price they've been selling them for. Wasn't that Mario and Sonic's price for the sale last year?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Over here they just put empty boxes on the shelves and keep the game disc and manuals all behind the counter. Makes shoplifting pretty fucking pointless.

Also, with the more popular games they often have a store copy which they'll sell second hand a week or so later. I've picked up quite a few games second hand a week after release this way (That and easy achievement point whores who buy games, run through the easy achievements then sell them back, a practice I will never understand, why not just rent them if you're sad enough to give that much of a fuck about your achievement point score?).

GAME are actually having a pretty decent pay-day sale at the moment on their web-store, most notably selling Bangai-O Spirits for £8...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nope, both deals work. $20 off the game, get a free guitar with the game.

Snap, I might just do this. I need another guitar for Rock Band anyway.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So about this free guitar deal--is it basically buy any related game and get a guitar? Also, which guitar is it? The GHIII one? New? Used? I'm considering nabbing Aerosmith and selling it, since I, too, could use another guitar.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So I stopped by Gamestop before I headed to class.

You got a free Wired Xplorer guitar when you buy the:

• Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Bundle
• Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Game Only
• Guitar Hero: World Tour Bundle

So, since the the Aerosmith game is only 10 bux, the guitar is literally that price. Should you decide to sell the game back, it would be about five according to what Lukage said over there.

How ya doing, buddy?

I guess I might as well nab one. Now it's a matter of either getting the PS2 one or the 360 one. I don't have a 360, but I'm planning on getting one this summer after I start up work. D: Stopping by before my next class~ FFTA2 was a no-go.

Hmmm, I retract my statement from earlier. I guess the story I heard about it being game only was incorrect. My bad, niggas.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I'm going over there tonight and picking up a new guitar for myself then.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just so you all know, one of the threads in the Cheap Ass Gamer forum's includes a 10 % off any games that are part of teh Game Day sale. I printed it off, and tried it out and sure enough, they let me get an extra 10 off.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

As it turns out, Gamestop got wise to this little loophole and refused to give me a guitar with my purchase of a game that I didn't want in the first place. I could call it a loss of a guitar but, really, it would have taken a lot of scrubbing to wash off the filth of knowing I paid for a glorified Aerosmith album.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd complain, as they would have to manually undo the sale. It should have been automatically discounted. *shrug*

Nabbed a War of the Lions so I could motivate myself to get a PSP. I'll grab PSP for the PSP as well.

Oh, I didn't buy the game and I didn't want to start a battle of quarter-wits with a Gamestop employee so I just picked up a copy of Guitar Hero II (360) for $5 and Tomb Raider Anniversary (360) for $15. Not a bad haul for $20.
