    The 2024 Gamestop Thread

    What's funny is people are panic buying when Microsoft hasn't even had new stock in months at some retailers, including Gamestop (hence why they had the trade in bonus last month). Stores were likely going to do another fire sale (as we've seen the last few Black Fridays) or just outright...

    The 2024 Gamestop Thread

    This is the same thing with other popular games. They sold a lot so there is a lot out there, but there isn't a lot out there for sale. Most people keep their copies, and then demand is higher than what's for sale. So price goes up.

    Official Collector's Edition Compilation XII - 2021

    What's funny is this isn't even true. The UK and Japan had relations since the 1600s and both had to learn English and Japanese to communicate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan%E2%80%93United_Kingdom_relations Though relations with the Japanese came to an end in the early 1600s, that...

    Go in store and ask an associate to call CS for you. They have a dedicated line that may be able to help.

    Helps that it's hard to replicate the play style (emulators can only do so much for the dual screen in your hands play style), playing DS and 3DS games and being one of the easiest systems to hack. We know Nintendo isn't going to make another DS style system (at least in this type of format) so...

    The 2024 Gamestop Thread

    Most of their customers aren't collectors so they don't really care about that. That and it adds more work for their workers which doesn't work for them when they want to have 1 or 2 people working at a time. Collectors will still shop at GS but if they want complete, they'd shop elsewhere, but...

    The 90% off clearance is just way for these closing stores to remove inventory they don't have to ship out to other stores (so saving them on shipping fees and employees processing such large inventory) as well as clearing stock that will take up space at those other stores. The deals are good...

    Target Clearance Thread XXIV

    Could be that physical games are slowly dying, could also be that there are far fewer new releases of big(ger) games for these stores to even take the time and space to stock items that will likely just sit on shelves. It'll be one thing if this happened just for a year, but it's been years of...

    Until games become available forever (with backwards compatibility in mind), can be resold back or on another marketplace and there is competition to allow discounts (we get discounts now, but imagine what happens when Sony is the only place where you can buy any games, good luck getting those...

    Walmart YMMV In Store Clearance Thread I (READ THE FAQs)

    BS was great, but they don't offer anything of worth now, even for paid members. Better off going on here, SlickDeals or discord / telegram groups. I'm thankful to be part of a free group though, but know others don't have the same options. At least SD and CAG are here, even if CAG is a shell of...

    Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2024

    I think what people are saying is that version of the game will still be on your account and accessible because of backwards compatibility. Right now my PS4 downloads work on my PS5. For the PS6, PS4 and PS5 digital downloads will work and carry over. You're right, cross buy was a thing with...

    The code to enter is EBC3071571 to apply to PS5s. They aren't really supposed to use this but the register does allow it.

    Best Buy YMMV Thread

    Local BB closed, just to open on the same street less than a minute walk away. Not sure why, maybe to be next to other businesses as it was a standalone store. Been to the outlet BB but seemed to be better for appliances and TVs. It's too far away to be worth return trips.

    Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2024

    Enjoyed Sea of Stars but do agree with others that the story isn't that good. It isn't bad, but it isn't as engaging as other turn based JRPG style games (they aren't a Japanese company btw, they are Canadian). The battle system is good but gets repetitive towards the end. Enemy types gets...

    Neither 30th editions have a disc drive. The Pro isn't a slim at all. It's a different category of the PS5. You have OG, Slim and Pro. No Pro model comes with a disc drive, but you can add one (for $80). The Slim has 2 versions for sale, disc and digital models. You keep calling the Pro a...
