Anybody ever tried Dumpster diving behind blockbuster ?

[nothingisttrue]

i found a garbage bag with some ps2 dvds and some videos in the dumpster behind my local blockbuster anybody else tried there?

[Videogamerdaryll]

Yes..my Uncle does..
He usually only finds Empty DVD cases..in new condition..

He has several hundred of them now..

I don't see any market for them on EBay so he's storing them until I figure what to do with them and the rest that he gets..

I knew a guy who used to bring me stuff he found dumpster diving behind Gamestop. He found a working ps1 once, some demos, mostly just a bunch of crap though. Most of the time he'd find Genesis games with absolutely terrible labels (usually Sonic 1 or 2). It was always a question on whether or not the stuff would actually work also.

speaking of the dvd cases thing...why exactly do they switch out every single dvd case with their own?

i just bougt a couple of gcn games from them and 2 of the 3 games are in standard blockbuster dvd cases...why bother replacing them all? wouldn't it be easier and save money to use the ones taht come with it?

[Dangerboy]

As far as the PS2/Xbox are concerned...it's so they can place the security label tabs in the BB boxes....

The GC boxes have the slots already...so I guess it's so they can show that it really was their's should someone try to steal it?

Dunno. <Shrug>

No and no. Distribution sends them to us in the standard lockable blockbuster amorays, and when we sell them it's easiest to just take the rental insert out and put in the games cover insert. Price it, lock it, put it out, yay.

If you want to, next time you buy a game from there (we've got a buy 2 get 1 on the ppg's going right now), just ask for a legit gamecube/xbox/ps2 case with it. They should have stacks of them laying around for coverbox purposes anyways.

As for dumpster diving behind blockbuster, don't bother. Never gonna find anything worthwhile, maybe some empty dvd cases, and possibly some destroyed VHS tapes. Nothing else.

I've never Dumpster Dived. But now I'm tempted to. There are a lot of places I could do it.

But I'd be afraid of being caught, and even if I got away, fingered by someone who recognized me or something.

Maybe in the Summer I'll see about doing some Diving of my own.

You guys are lucky you even have a BlockBuster!
Me and Gnarkill are stuck with nothing :angry:

What's up with Natalie's sweater? It looks like she was naked and the sweater photoshopped in? (confused)

[Happy_Dude]

Mmmmm. Dumpster diving. I never thought about hitting Blockbuster or
game stores. Finaly a reason to go to EB LOL

[atomicthumbs]

I've got a few boxes of dvd/ps2/xbox/gcn amarays stored away for some, bright and beautiful future time when I don't work at Blockbuster

[PyroPenguin]

So what happens if you get caught lookin through dumpsters? Anyone ever been caught?

[King_Collector411]

i got caught doing it at gamestop once and they just told me not to make a mess of the shit and im welcome to do it... ive found so much stuff dumpster diving at gamestop its incredible...

[MarioAllStar2600]

Blockbuster doesn't have alot of gaming stuff (the one near me). If you are gunna dumpster dive GameStop is the place. I go like once a week. Find some cool promos and stuff.

Looks fine to me. Damn fine......

Oh, the sweater....yeah that looks a bit weird. Maybe she's auditioning to be a hawkman (excuse me...a hawklady) in a Flash Gordon remake :D
If it helps, it was photographed for a French magazine. You know the French and their crazy clothing styles no one actually wears in public.
