[quote name='pimp tyranny']can someone answer this? did i just get scammed? the clerk at GC said i couldn't get the discounts on the Atlus games unless i bought the membership card. he said normally they were $50 a piece, but with the card, they were $20. i asked why the card would affect new games, and he said it was strictly an Atlus sale. i was thinking BS the whole fuking time, but went ahead and bought the membership card anyway just to get out of there. i figure i'll sell a copy of SMT: Nocturne to make up for it.[/QUOTE]
You probably did get scammed. From my knowledge (if you are talking about the MVP card), I know that selling MVP cards @ Gamecrazy (as well as reservations for games) are imperative for an employee to keep their job (maybe because most Gamecrazy's aren't that big). The sales associate should not have forced you to purchase an MVP card, especially when the MVP card is used mostly for USED products. I'm not sure, maybe the manager made it that way, but I just don't see any reason why you would need to purchase one. I visited 4 Gamecrazy's yesterday and not once did the sales associate ask me to purchase an MVP card. But then again, if you like buying used games, you'll eventually make your money back. In the end, you did not need to purchase one.
