Today I went to a Gamestop at the mall checking if they had anything used for good prices. Nothing was there, but I did see a box of random memorabilia (sp?) and demo stuff. The guy at the counter saw me looking at it and he said I could take anything I wanted. The guy was really nice, so I put $5 down on FFX-2 incase he would of got in trouble.

I recieved:

Sphynx and the Cursed Mummy T-Shirt
Dino Crisis 3 T-Shirt
Kill Switch T-Shirt
Rogue Ops T-Shirt
Mini Megaman Clock (looks like a little bomb)
Final Fantasy X-2 Jumbo game box. (Awesome)
I-Ninja Demo Disk
Battlestar Galactica Demo Disk
Prince of Persia Demo Disk
True Crime Movie Disk
The Hobbit (book)

This was all pretty cool considering I never heard of Gamestop actually saving stuff for people. (Usually it's thrown out and dumpster divers grab it)

After that, I was by another Gamestop in town and my dad who was with me asked them if they had any freebies. Well...

I-Ninja T-Shirt
Tony Hawk's UnderGround T-Shirt

If all this wasn't enough. Someone today came into Gamestop trying to sell a Sega CD + Games. A girl working at the Gamestop bought it all for 7 bucks (all the boxes/manuals). I told them "Man, I would of loved to be here I would of bought it." A Gamestop Employee said "Oh I got a Sega CD in my car plus some games if you want it." SWEET! He just gave it to me saying how he had tons of stuff at home (he was a collector) and he didn't mind parting with a Sega CD.

Got...

Sega CD Sports Bundle Complete
Tomcat Alley Complete
Ground Zero Texas disks only (2)
John Madden Football 92 (GEN game complete)
Hockey (GEN game complete)
Lethal Enforcers Gun Fighters Complete

The moral: Gamestop isn't bad or good. It's only a horrible place if horrible people work there. In my case, I have a great Gamestop town and I will now go back to shop more because of what they did.

PS: Also bought 2 copies of Final Fantasy Chronicles Complete for 19.99 each at a Hollywood Video. WEWT!
