Like I said, I don't sell to Gamestop anymore. I'll either sell directly to people I know or go through Craigslist and make a meet-up in a well lit and well populated place.

If it is just marketed as a limited time sale then I'm sure the people would flock and buy the product. When it is treated as some under the table deal then it just seems weird and questionable.

I see, and I imagine this wouldn't be something that was marketed or otherwise written on the tag either.

Trust me, as a college student I'm furious that I'm paying ~$1k in books alone every semester. I still get a better cash-back ratio when I trade my books in though. Also, my experience isn't based on one store in my town. I've gone to 14 different Gamestops, all withing 20 minutes of my house, and I can't think of a…

This goes a bit beyond making a profit. They're making (sometimes more than) double what they paid. Also, how would you justify repackaging used products as new? I've personally had two "new" games handed to me in cheap cellophane (which they sealed in front of me,) and I got home to find that the disk had scratches…

GFWL is really just a nuisance. There is no reason why I should buy a game from steam and be forced to manually enter the cd key in to GFWL just to get it to work. When I bought a Gotham City Imposters bundle I needed to input around twenty codes manually because it didn't support copy/paste. Also, if you don't have…

Gamestop are scumbags. I guarantee you that if you bought a game on release day and traded it in a week later you wouldn't get more than $30 ($20 is more likely) and they'll put it on the shelf for $55. On top of that, I've seen them sell used games as new games. From that day on I became skittish about buying from…

I was thinking the same, but I didn't want to be "that guy." His ass is probably real fizzy.

This is basically an article about nothing. I mean, this article just reiterates something which the public has known for the past decade. This isn't a dig against Brian, just against the article.

Good point, I'd like to point out that just because games are on the same system doesn't mean that they'll have the same color case; for example, Super Mario Bros. Wii had a red case. If consumers bought games based solely on the color of the case then no one would've bought that one.

Speaking of Adventure Time; today I was at Barnes and Noble and was really tempted to buy aLumpy Space Princess Pop Television figure which they had on display.

Smite is pretty cool, I even bought in to it, but I don't think it is the MOBA for me. I've never felt like I've been cheaply killed more times than I have when playing Smite. I also feel like the game needs some rebalancing, there are some characters which feel significantly weaker than others, but that's the case in…

Basically what Coffinmouth said; Brothers in Arms franchise, Halo:CE's pc ports, Half-Life: Blue Shift and Opposing Force, Counter Strike: Condition Zero, and of course Borderlands. Gearbox isn't a mega-winner household name like Infinity Ward or Bungie, but it is far from being lost or having a bad transition.

Bummer, I liked Toon Link better than TP Link, Ocarina Link and Kid Link before him.

Maybe, maybe not. The big publishers will do the math on how many potential customers are likely to have the Rift and decide if it is worth the cost. Keep in mind that everyone in the 80s thought that VR would be a big thing by 1990, while technology has advanced significantly since then, I'm going to play it cool and…

Unless they're eliminating all clone characters I think that Toon Link is fairly likely to return. Toon Link was a pretty popular mid-tier character (where as regular Link was F tier,) and given that Wind Waker is being rereleased this year I don't think that they'd cut him.

Interesting, I think that Activision and EA are going to be the last to force developers to implement support in to their games. Neither company likes to take big risks, and if it costs them money without having an immediate payback+profit then they quickly scrap the idea. They're also not big on change; just look at…

I'm not sure what you're talking about for Gearbox. They've released hit upon hit with relatively few flops. The only recent flops they've released that I can think of are Duke Nukem and Aliens: Colonial Marines. Generally speaking, they have a pretty nice record.

I liked that movie quite a bit, but it kinda changed Sonic for me. I think this is what marked "the fall" of Sonic, after this OVA came out they started to portray him as a d-bag in the games. It was kinda shocking to me when I first watched the movie and he was a jerk; up until that point I'd always imagined Sonic as…

Shane, Hotline Miami is listed as a "Steamplay" game on the Steam store, so purchasing it should unlock both versions. I'm not sure why it isn't working for some people.
