Worst console launch experience ever? I got one from Target on that last little restock alert about 1 and a half hours later, but thought I totally missed it. The lines did nothing. I think shadow dropping pre-orders is better. Normal consumers just don’t stand a chance against bots anymore...
May not be far off. GameStops advertised drug celebration day promo boost lasts all week. Would they even accept an Xbox plastered with weed stickers like the promo image? How about if it were filled with dank?
Not Japanese Niche, but since it’s Berserk, time to fire Diablo back up, I might actually try to complete a season this time

They should have marketed this as get up to 420.69 on Easter Sunday with Easter imagery all over. That would have been kind of funny and maybe gotten the edgy response they are going for, but this just comes across as pandering and pathetic from a large corporation known to ride its employees...
Companies don’t just get an automatic free pass for stupid pricing now. Can’t blame tarrifs for Nintendo charging $10 for the Switch Welcome Park new system tutorial. Astros Playroom was a legit fully fledged very fun game, given for free with every PS5. Its a bad look for kid friendly...
The PS1 working designs releases are probably what most have nostalgia for, but yeah, series goes back farther than that, over 30 years. Also agree, the Sega CD, Neo Geo, expensive systems like that seemed like mystical unicorns at the time.
If you told me what was generally considered a niche weird weeb game at the time, that likely didn‘t have enough audience to be worth porting to the states when it was “cutting edge”, would be the #1 best seller in video games category of the number #1 online retailer 30 years later, I would not...
Lunar Switch is currently the #1 best seller in video games category:) Even beating all the gift cards that are usually #1. Interesting how the listing states the price is currently at a 30% discount from regular price of $80.
I got my copy of Lunar. Potentially $10 savings is not enough for me to risk it. I have nostalgia for the series and want to support it anyway.
But for the video game day traders: We don’t have much experience with Amazon as the sole retailer to know how many copies will be available. Most...
They paid me $415 or so for a 5 year old PS5 a few months ago. People were just posting about the few fun errors where they were temporarily giving $90 trade credit for $20 games. It’s still possible. Average consumer your right though.
