Pick me, pick me! 😁

Just Dance or Mario Rabbids

GCU or nothing for me! 😂

I’m like 90% sure they’d charge you $9.99 for the steelbook if you do that

It’s a bit impractical maybe, but if you can find a game selling at Best Buy for less than what you can get trade credit for at GameStop, or at least break even, you could always buy them and trade them in

I got into a debate with a GS employee several years ago about this. I wanted to buy a game and I refused it bc they wanted to sell me an opened “new” game. I told him it’s not new as not only was it opened, but there were clearly fingerprints on the disc. He told me to think of it like a...

In case anyone was curious, when compared to my Gen 3 Astro A50 the H9 sounds comparable (depth, bass, etc), but the noise cancellation feature does provide crisper sound, especially with dialogue. I will say that the noise cancellation on the highest level makes me feel like I’m on an airplane...

You’re probably right, but nothing surprises me anymore 😂

It may seem counterintuitive, but raising the price may actually get the system in more gamers’ hands rather than scalpers. No second hand margin could mean no scalpers. I could see them throwing in a year of PS+ Extra or something to help justify it.

I’ve been reading several rumors lately that Sony’s going to raise the price $100 a la Meta Quest, so you may want to jump on it if you get the invite.
