Getting up at 4:00 in the morning to go to work so old ladies could throw Wii games at my head. It's been a long day.
I said never again to crazy late night shopping runs after the holiday Wii shortage fiasco of 2006.Generalzdave said:
In the dead of winter(very cold and lots of snow), 5 days before Christmas, I lined up outside of the local Best Buy and waited for a couple hours. Then being the stupid workers they are, they waited until they were letting people in to tell us that they only had 19 in stock. I was the 20th person in line.
So I and the rest of the people did a mad dash to the local mall, waited a half hour for it to open, and then off we went to the first game store. They had 10 in stock, I was 11th in line. I and the rest of the people ran to the only other game store in the mall. They had only 9, I was 10th in line. As you can tell, I'm not a very fast runner.
It took four months before I found a store that finally got one in stock. Had a little fun with it for about a year and a half, then half a year later I got a Xbox 360 Halo 3 Fable 2 bundle.
The Wii will gather dust until I can get a job that will allow me my normal purchase power with the 360 and cheap old game buying power for the Wii, seeing as the WiiU is possibly coming soon, cheap Wii games will be easy to get, not that there are many I want to get(around 3 or 4).
But yeah, never again will I be one of those mad dashers at special sales. But, even though it wasn't that fun, it was a good life experience. You can meet some interesting people, that you will most likely never meet again.
I'm guessing that the internet equivalent would be the Steam servers crashing because of the influx of so many purchasers during a Steam sale.SL33TBL1ND said:
SSSSSSfffffffffffffff Boom!(server explodes) "Gabe, we told you that sale on all games in the store was a bad idea."
Boy was I tempted to, there were some nice deals on the XBLA, thought about getting MTGRedlin5 said:
uels of the Plainswalkers 2012 for the 400 point deal. But seeing as I only have a little over eleven dollars in my bank account, I decided against it.
Not if there was some guy checking the server when it exploded.SL33TBL1ND said:
"How did you lose most of your face sir?"
"A Steam sale."
=P
I spent black friday contemplating how I can convince my mother to let me buy Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Dead Island on Steam
Both for $50 is an amazing deal and I've still got 10 hours.
I'm also waiting to see if RAGE will get any cheaper through a daily deal.
