Just finished my Black Friday shopping at Gamestop earlier...
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
Geez, you are way intense. Some of your picks are super eclectic as well. Are you really trying to have a complete collection or something?
But yeah, I ended up buying a bunch (by my standards, so 4 games) during the sales myself .
As much as people hate on Gamestop, these types of sales can be super worth it.
Ha ha, I put Final Fantasy X|X2 for the PS3 with my WiiU games since it was in a DVD sized case for some stupid reason.
You really buried the lead about you buying these games then returning them so they could all be at a single location so you could then rebuy them at a discount. Like, WTFFFF
Were there any games that got grabbed by someone in between this transaction? Did you explain your plot to the employees in an attempt for them to stash them for you?

You do know that you're posting on a hardcore video game enthusiasts forum, right?
Sorry all, I got tired last night since I didn't get home until so late.
Had already cleaned, peeled, and shelved everything last night, so took a bunch of stuff off the shelves so I can get a pic.
It was a combination of different games, as I spent the week going to every Gamestop in my area, and buying their stock from the store, then returning it to the closer store to me in preparation for the B2G1, which is why I ended up with so many. So no, there is no single magic Gamestop these games were from that had all the games with their cases even, but more of a compilation of stores over the span of a week. Majority of these were from the B2G1, but some were just because they were in-stock and cheap enough comparatively. Mostly Switch though, since it's my current focus, as PS4 was two months ago.
Anywho, here's the haul, spans across console, multiple gens.
Stop.
You went to Gamestops all over there area to buy games you wanted to have, traded them in at one Gamestop nearby and then rebought everything because you get half for free?
I gotta be honest...that's genius.
eh, arguably.
technically 33% off considering you buy 2, then get 1 free
Yeah, that hairbrained scheme is a step beyond even me, and I'm usually all about that shit. Kinda genius way to consolidate your savings not gonna lie
That's something I didn't think of. A huge effort but I won't knock the hustle.
Man, I'm really surprised at the hostility in here toward the OP, some of these posts are insanely embarrassing.
If the receipt showing the total price was $2xx, ya'll do know that's literally less than any of the current gen systems on the market right now.

That's funny. Hey no matter what the reason for buying so much whether to play or collect, have fun with it if you enjoy buying and playing them. You clearly work hard to be able to afford everything so who cares what you spend your money on. Also please move Gun Gun Pixels lmao.
Nice haul (I assume? :P...
Never had a receipt that long, but I did get my phone bill in a cardboard box once because it was so big... that count?

It's a lot of effort for stuff that's just gonna collect dust on the shelf, I feel bad for the GS employee that had to return and rebuy everything.
Not a knock against op, I already lived that life. It's just how it is.
Goddamn, as somebody who has a decent amount of physical media that receipt is depressing. On top of the room OP has just being over the top stuffed with shit, the games will never get played and just take up space.
This even makes me reconsider what I buy lmao. Also, this makes the 2 games I bought for Black Friday look pedestrian

It's true, including what they buy. I see a lot of people always judging others for what they buy, and see a lot of "get rid of it" and "get help" comments. Like, just because it's not something you would personally want (or if you did and didn't have the budget for it), I don't get why there is always this extra advise on what people should/shouldn't spend their money on. Not everyone wants to spend money on the same things, even if it's games they might not get a chance to play any time soon.
This is a game forum, but the majority consensus is that it's very anti-collecting. Collecting communities I've been in are surprisingly very positive places, that don't discourage people with what they do.
I'll be honest, I'm in awe of your collection of games but it also makes me feel way better about being digital only since 2013. I have tons of game but they take up none of my living space.

I respect the hustle.
I'm still jealous that I was broke the weekend everyone was going around exchanging nintendo games to get like $1000 of GameStop credit lol
Well done OP. I'm impressed.
Do you take this much effort in the rest of your life? If so you'll be alright

Aye, go back in there and see if they're price matching Best Buy and Target on Greedfall and Indivisible for PS4.
The buy 2 get 1 shuffle between multiple Gamestops is great. That sounds like the type of thing where they make a rule the next year explicitly banning it because someone found a way to cheese their offer.
Kudos, OP.
Kudos, OP.
Because gamers here can't help but shit on someone on how much they spend or what they collect.
I had a receipt about 1/5th that size from Best Buy and felt guilty. Not kidding, you should really get some help for what seems like a spending addiction.
Yeah, seriously...
I didn't know there were Gamestop strats, lol! That sucks they made OP wait until midnight, but I guess it was a "special case" or something.
Don't you have better things to do than criticize what other people spend their money on in a thread where they were excited about it?
A lot of salty people in here, damn. As long as you're not destitute after this, whatever, you do you OP and enjoy yourself.
Not sure how I feel about your buying and returning scheme though... still parsing the morality on that one.

Same with the Kingdom Hearts collections, ugh, why???
I don't see what could be braggy about that... I'd immediately be trying to get rid of all those games
I buy/play about 15-20 games a year. I'm not sure if I could live with myself knowing that I just spent a load of money on something I wouldn't have time for. Collecting doesn't really do much for me, before I went digital a couple years ago I couldn't bring someone to my apt without them looking at my games collection asking me if I have a problem lol.
