Former Gamestop employee here... one copy has to be gutted to be the display copy on the wall. If that is the last copy in the store and you want it, then you get it gutted. Regulars have asked us why we can't just display the "coming soon" art instead... unfortunately, too many customers are...
I'm going to assume -as this is the case for the store I work at and others I go to- that it was their last copy, so it was gutted (when a game is removed from its case) for display. Gamestop isn't given blank cases, with the exception of promotional displays [that we have to keep up even if we...
Wasn't planning on getting Hunger Games but that's a great deal on the steelbooks - might bite when I go to [definitely] pick up 12 Years a Slave. And I'd love to pick up Spider-man but I don't have a second pick. Well, I was interested in two of those movies until I realized it was probably the...
Some stores don't put up ads until after close on Sundays, so that could have been the manager "misspeaking". We might want to check come tomorrow. And if not tomorrow, I'd say the last day to see something would be Wednesday. (Gamestop does Tuesday night price changes, but I have no idea how...
Stores are actually doing inventory right now so that could be why. I'm only a GA so I don't know the specifics but it's possible you may have JUST missed out. We had to turn away a guy's return of his system because he had a disc stuck in it and it would have been sent away and therefor forever...
Exactly why I got one recently. (And to leave space on memory cards.) For $85 total I got a PSP 2000 with wall and car charger, Han Solo in carbonite case, 1gb memory stick, 7 games (Little Big Planet, Brave Story, Fat Princess, Riviera [only one without booklet], Warriors of the Lost Empire...
Thanks for this post! Hope to see more cool deals at this store because I work right next to one.
What I grabbed at Big Lots (w/o membership FYI):
Professor Layton: Unwound Future (3DS) - $7.50
Shinobi (3DS) - $5
Sonic Colors (Wii) - $9.44
Also picked up Speed Racer on blu-ray for $5. But...
I don't know why I thought those sales lasted past Saturday. And I always thought they ran for 2 weeks - maybe that's more so why I assumed I'd still catch the deal. Anyway..... Nice snags on eBay for your tv shows! Will definitely look into getting Hannibal on there. I just got a PSP bundle a...
I like Arrow quite a bit. It has its slow moments, as do most 20+ episodes-a-season shows. And it's certainly not an amazing show, but it can be enjoyable if you appreciate good dynamics. Nothing ever aggravated me regarding the characters' relationships. (I will drop a show if a character...
