When i buy a game without the game disc being in there and then the guy gives me lip about not checking the box myself make hulk angry...HULK SMASH!!!
I buy a lot of my games from a small business owner who runs a small private game store- she's always taken care of me by importing stuff and cutting me good deals, so I do my best to support her business in this time where the private retailer is dieing out. When I bought Metroid Prime 2 Echoes she took the box back behind the counter to put the disc in and it wasn't until I got home that I realised she'd given me another copy of Metroid Prime 1 instead. So I took it back, we had a bit of a laugh and I took the real game home. It was irritating, since her store is several train stops away from my home, but I let it go. She's done me enough favours in the past that I wouldn't hold a simple mistake against her.
I was once quite pleased with staff stupidity. I was in asda, and wanted to ge get a game, but it was too expensive, so I got a cheaper one instead. When I got home, I opened the case and inside was the more expensive game that I had wanted. Can't remember what it was, but I was very pleased. 
True, true. But you know what part of the manual smells the best? THE NOTES SECTION!Chezzz said:
You know what's also good for sniffing when you first open them? Collectable card packets, eg. Magic: The Gathering. Never mind that what you're sniffing is a thin coating of varnish, that stuff is pure bliss.
But alas, before too long the smell is always gone.

it must just be engalnd then, but when you walk into a Game store (they are called Game), the shelves are stocked with empty cases, with the cover and a price sticker. you tak it to the counter pay for it, then they give you a shrink-wrap sealed game from the locked cabinet behind the counter, fresh and sealed like a supermarket sandwhich., (though infinitely more appetising)
Pre-owned are a different matter though.

Fairly recently, in fact. Went into the local GAME, picked up a second hand copy of GRAW 2 for a tenner. Plonker behind the counter had only gone and put a GRAW 1 disc in.Hey Joe said:
Talking about the luxuriant smell of new games and all, On realease day of Halo 3 i went over to my local blockbuster to buy it (because its dead good pricewise, and the people are nice), but they didnt have it in stock, just as im about to leave a DHL (I Think) bloke marches in with a whole box of Halo 3's, The guy behind the counter let me pick my own one 'Twas almost orgasmic , well not really, for nearly a month

when did gamestop buyout E.B., because I think I may have bought the game before the buyout happened.ffxfriek said:
hmm, one guy has Jack Thompson in his closet, another has Steve Gutenberg in his, and another still has Jack Thompson in a closet in his closet. I wonder who is in my closet.
