View Full Version : I spent too much money at Gamestop, that house of shite

I was hoping that the completion of my Saturn shooter collection would curtail my excessive spending on video games. Alas, it was not to be. I've just switched over something else now. Does it ever stop? Now it's PSone games.


Dragonball Z Ultimate 22 (the US version of an 8 year old Japanese title, just released here) $14.99
Ogre Batlle (with maps and other various crap) $29.99
Tactics Ogre $34.99
Ace Combat 3 $14.99
Threads of Fate $9.99

They also had Breath of Fire III NEW for $14.99, used for $19.99. Why? stupid corporate imbeciles.

When I got up to the counter with my purchases, I encounterd a short and amazingly geeky clerk with a very trendy haircut yet terrible dandruff. Seriously... flakes were on his shoulders, in his eyebrows, and all over his GLASSES! I couldn't stop staring and I wanted so badly to suggest a dandruff shampoo.

Anyway, he saw my Dragonball game and confided that someone had traded in the American version of the rare domestic Dragonball GT. He had purchased the game from the store and had it for sale. He wanted $100, I offered $75, and he took it. Shit game, but I've been wanting it.

Why does GameStop have all those incredibly shitty skinny plastic boxes and bad cover scans? I wanted a bunch of the games, but I'm only buying a PSX game if it's complete. Another stupid corporate blunder. Bunch of wack jobs.

Anyway, I spent close to $200... why oh why? I don't even own a car (not that I really need one.)

$75 for that Dragonball GT is not bad, unless you play it. LOL

I agree with you on the Gamestop policy of PSX cases. The upside is at least they are very noticeable, so I can scan over them and find the games that actually have the cases fast.

Hehheh. House of shite. Oh, so true.

The problem is that you have a problem. A VG collecting additiction. I know the feeling.

Hmm. Pay car insurance? Or buy Sin and Punishment? Tough one.

What you should do is complain to the regional offices about that employee. What he did is a terminable offense at GameStop.

I get suckered all the time by those damn stupid plastic cases... I'll get all excited and then BLAM! It's a phony case with a scan.

Don't get me started on the piles of overpriced, stickered, and LOOSE Nintendo 64 carts...
