Oh, I beg to differ. You've lost quite a lot in asking. Credibility, mostly.

The problem with trying to win multiple lotteries (or any gambling for that matter) is that by doing your first big wins, you might impact the future in such a way that the future outcomes are different. Same thing with taking the history of the world back with you. It might be that the FIRST...

I'd buy a cake, then go back in time 5 minutes, bringing the cake with me, and take the other cake from past me, so I'd have two cakes, paradoxes not withstanding since I'm assuming a parallel universes model of time here. Then, I'd eat one of the cakes, so I could be the only person to both...

Oh, when you're in Akihabara, DO NOT miss the store "Super Potato". It's easy to walk past it if you're not looking for it. Just listen for the store blasting 8-bit NES game music out of the window. It's 3 floors, so make sure you check them all out.

Accidentally got it right twice; "suimasen" is a less formal but still correct version of "sumimasen".

How is praise for a good bit of service a whole lot of nothing? I don't believe it's right for me to sit here and criticize their trade-in policies without discussing what they do RIGHT. Huge thanks to IAmTheCheapestGamer for providing an alternative, but the point of this thread, from the...

The preorders are at least a good deal for you; while Gamestop is banking on the money during the time they possess it from when you do the preorder, the amount of interest you as an individual are likely to get on that interim is negligible, so it's a small price to pay to be able to guarantee...

I'm waiting for proof. A personal attack is not an argument.

That's what I'm saying; it IS a good deal on your end. As an employee, it's human nature to see and note the glaringly obvious titles that have bombed and the company is losing money on, but what you don't see is that every single other title is netting them a HUGE profit. Think about it; for...

Erased, but I'll answer your charge anyway. That is NOT happening out of the goodness of Gamestop's heart; they know that when the new Madden launches in July or August, it's just as good as any other new release until the following year approaches. Sure, demand drops off as time goes on and...

Obviously you have no idea what a normal profit margin is on a transaction that occurs thousands of times a day across the country. A $5 profit seems reasonable to an individual, because small transactions for an individual aren't worth the effort, but a large, large company receiving $5 for...

No name? Viewsonic is one of the biggest names in computer monitors.

Angel is exceptional; an absolutely incredible spin-off.

Oooh. Bad timing. Was $10 at Circuit City on Clearance just a month ago or so.

Yeah, unless there's been a major change since yesterday, every store in the area is sitting on them refusing to sell. I spent a couple of hours yesterday calling corporate and verifying the price is legitimate, but the store would have none of it. Total idiots. And it didn't help that nobody...

Phoenix Arizona is horrible; some idiot at the regional office sent out an e-mail claiming this is a pricing mistake and telling the stores out here to refuse to sell them.

Also available on Amazon at $164.99 with free shipping and no tax, and no non-Costco member penalty. http://www.amazon.com/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Collectors-discs/dp/B000AQ68RI/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0029236-3484942?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1176305821&sr=8-1

You sure we're talking about the same game? There were rounds where my team died fast enough where I spent more time loading the stage than playing it.

Like I said previously; the magazine comments are caused by a root issue, they aren't causing a root issue themselves. It's not very accurate to think of game magazines as a barometer for public opinion. However, what we're seeing occuring there isn't going to cause much, but is a reflection...

The thing is, while you could look at the two generations and point out some type of similarities between the two situations, those similarities are really very superficial, to some extent coincidental, and it's not really a particularly compelling observation from a standpoint of prediction. I...
