I'm not sure you got what I meant. Tax is 6% here, too. So if I buy a $20 PSN card and I want to buy something on the PSN for $19.99 plus tax, then I need (like you said) around $21.20. BUT if PSN cards only come in increments of $20, then I'd have to buy two just to buy something that was $20. See what I mean?
I work at a Game Crazy in Maryland and entries for them in our POS system still haven't shown up, which usually means that they're still a ways off. What's the deal Sony? Why are the PSN cards so damn mysterious? Oh, and I'm a little concerned about the tax thing, too -- I don't wanna have to spend $40 just to buy something that's $20 because of tax.
Listen, I don't like GameStop just as much as the next guy, which is why I've always shopped and now work at Game Crazy. Now, some of you might say that there isn't a difference, but from an internal perspective, there most certainly is. Last I checked, you still got 33 dollars in store credit for MGS4 and GTA IV (regardless of console) at Game Crazy. Anyone who thinks that they can trade-in a game for any more than half of what they paid for it is absolutely 100% insane (and trust me, we get...
I'm a HUGE Metal Gear fan, but I've always been under the impression that the games were not quite at "mainstream" level; however, I, too, have been EXTREMELY surprised at the number of calls we've received at Game Crazy about the bundle! We also only received a shipment of two bundles, so I have a feeling tomorrow morning's gonna be pretty crazy. Oh, well! Glad to see MGS4's getting well-deserved attention!
I hadn't heard any info on this game in so long, I had almost assumed it'd been canceled. Good to hear it's still coming along and looking good. Very cool concept for a game -- let's hope THQ pulls it off.
Monty, my boy, let's put it this way: even if this turned out to be the greatest game ever made, if for every copy that sold, God killed a kitten, would you still buy it?
It's pretty much the same idea.
I needed a good laugh.
All good picks, but I don't know if I'd have a similar top five. The opening cutscenes from all the Onimusha games, especially the third, were all pretty awesome. Devil May Cry 3 and 4 had some pretty memorable fight scenes as well.
It may just be a region difference, but the "DualShock 3 Compatible" logo is missing from the bottom left, which I thought should be there, but maybe I'm mistaken. Also, there's no ESRB or similar rating. Does your region not have a rating system? Lastly, I messaged the kid who got the 80 GB PS3 from Wal-mart earlier today and he told me that the back of the cover litho was all white, when in your pictures it's clearly Snake's face repeated. Either he lied to me (I wouldn't understa...
We're doing the same promotion at Game Crazy. I was pretty shocked when I saw the advo. For $40, the game's actually not a bad buy. I rented and beat the game, and it wasn't bad, it just wasn't fantastic. I've certainly paid more for worse games.
Does GameStop have the "right?" Of course they do, just as much as everyone who sold their Wii for $600 plus on eBay did. Once GameStop "purchases" a Wii from a customer, they can do whatever they want with it. Is it a consumer-friendly and ethical business practice? Of course not. But hey, this is GameStop people, what do you expect?
I've been checking our POS system every day for an entry for PSN cards and they've yet to show up in our system. Nice work spotting this one, Josh. They can't be far off.
Then again, I've been saying that for months now.
It's Kojima, people! My jaw was on the floor for every cutscene in the past games -- this game is gonna be freakin' RIDICULOUS!
Is this guy a diva or what?
Don't squirm too much in 'em or they'll scratch your discs.
Lost Planet had an in-game friends list, too. Even Lair let you send messages while in-game. This is hardly what I'd consider newsworthy.
I have a 60 GB PS3 and I just beat the game a few days ago with only a few stutters here and there. This whole freezing issues seems really strange to me.
At Game Crazy that is. This is gonna be one of those things where no one wants one until you can't find them anywhere. Congrats, Nintendo, you've done it again!
Did I miss that part? Because that's the most important piece of info according to me. I'm assuming the kid had to be at least 17, or else he has no case whatsoever. So assuming he is 17 or older, that's total BS on EB Games/GameStop's part. Technically, if you're old enough to buy the game, we can't (speaking on behalf of Game Crazy) "refuse" to sell you the copy. If I was this kid, I'd raise hell. You might get a free t-shirt to shut you up about it.
Where the heck is Judy Nails?
