Robbed of my Persona 2 = Fail
The Grudge | 7:47 PM on 11.21.2008 14 comments



I have recently started to hunt for classics that I missed. I collect them to play them and not just place them in a vault with the intention of selling them later.
So I felt annoyed that I had missed the opportunity to purchase the re-release of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment from Amazon. I decided to delve in the unfriendly waters of Ebay to try and find a copy that was priced reasonable. I know, reasonable and hard to find games on Ebay do not equate reasonable prices, but I got lucky! I found an excellent condition copy of Persona 2 for $39.99 with a Buy Now! option. YEAH! This was done on the 15th of November. Fast forward to the 19th. I am away from home and was not there to pick up the mail. My cousin who was at home that day remember seeing a package stuffed in the mailbox that was too small for it and recalled seeing my name on it. I think of course; why not take the mail indoors? Anyhow, she was watching television and hears the shuffling of mail and looks to see what the cause could be. She sees some wad taking the package out of the mailbox and placing it in his waistband while he begins to swiftly walk away. She goes outside and yells and the piece of crap to give her back the package but the guy continues to walk away. She increases her speed and he does to. Soon thereafter the bastard starts running where my cousin tires, calls the police and wait for the officer to meet her at her current location. I am grateful that my cousin attempted to apprehend the thief but told her never to do that again, since that tool could have harmed her over it. So I am out a copy of Persona 2 and as I look and look to see a deal similar I cannot find one. The other copies are easily $80 and up. I am pissed off and want to find the asshole and break all his fingers. I wish I had been home to greet the thief.

Fuck.

I am glad that no harm was done to her. I grew up in South Central L.A where to hear of people getting shot for their sneakers wasn't that suprising. The house is in a better are and does not have a fence unlike most houses on my block. I realize the fences are to keep the shitheads opportunist off your property.

@ Garison: I did the next step up from having a tiny mailbox. We now have one that can hold a book and can be locked, but if it is locked you can't place a big package it, thus I leave it unlocked. My idea is, before the fucktard saw something sticking out of the mailbox, now the mailbox is big enough that you can't tell for sure if it is empty or not. We'll see if my logic pays off. I was furious. I really can't find Persona 2 for a reasonable price. Amazon is still out and Ebay, Amazon, or sites of the like have double the price for the game or more. Any Dtoiders have a spare copy they want to sell for a reasonable price?

Also, fuck theives: I hope that guy gets cancer of the balls.

@ ASSBEES: I know Dtoid had a story about the re-issue but those have long been sold out. Do you have new information?

I'm not even the one getting ripped off and that makes me rage like the fist of the north star. I hate theiving losers like that. I know I've met up wit ha few in my time as well, and it's never fun (unless you catch 'em, then it gets very fun). Too bad though, man, and good luck getting another copy.

@Kyousuke Nanbu: Thanks?
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
That is gaysauce to the max? Who does that? Go looking to see if packages are sticking out of other peoples' mailboxes and then run away with them . . . -_-'
The Grudge's Destructoid Blog
@ Funktastic: Your right! Makes me want to put some boobie traps in place that the mail person can go around but a would be thief would get his knees blown off.

Heh, I said boobie.

Also, I am unable to find another good deal with this game. Damn price gougers!

 about me

I am happy to be a part of the Dtoid community and wanted to formally introduce myself. I have been a gamer since I was able to steal the Atari joystick from my older sister. Although very young during Atari's days I really got hooked with the debut of Nintendo's NES. I was a Nintendo fanboy (yearly subscription to Nintendo Power) for most my youth, even through virtual boy (shivers), until the Playstation. I always prided myself on being able to pass all the games I ever bought with a finesse that would make Chinese Olympic Acrobats weep tears of reverence. The only black mar to this badge I wear is Wolverine Admantium Rage for SNES. Never passed it.......where was I? Now I am a jaded PC gamer.
