The casings are complete crap. I've had 2 go on me, including one during the big FYE bonus credit trade in, when the stupid clerk ripped it from the game case, and claimed it was already broken. I didn't argue with him, because it was only over a few bucks in credit, but that's the last time...
Is there any pattern to the FYE VG closeouts?
The FYE in Walpole, MA did not have the closeout in effect. I will check the one in Providence, RI today.
I did the PM at a BB in my area with no problems whatsoever. Also sold my old PSP to EB Games for the $80 trade in special (now expired).
New PSP looks great, no problems whatsoever. Very happy to have it.
I got the PM at Best Buy today! Even better, I "returned" my Mario Strikers Charged that I got for $38 shipped from Family Video for $52 in credit towards the purchase of the PSP. Add to that $75 in credit that I already had, and the $80 in credit I got for my beat up old PSP from Gamestop...
How? Based on what EGM says?
Those guys lost credibility a long, long time ago. They have no clue and cannot be trusted with a review. Just look at the APF 2K8 scores, for the greatest playing football game ever released! Phooey. Wait on Lair some more.
This is true. I WILL buy a next-gen console, but I'm not sure which one yet. I know that I will not be getting the Wii, as it seems like a gimmicked console to me, and it does not support HD graphics (a HUGE no-no for my tastes). I am very dissapointed with the 360. I once had it...
