This is something I would like to do as often as possible; show actual examples of why stores like EB suck ass. I must apologize for the quality of the picture, as it was taken with my free Motorola V330. So I was at the mall today, and since I can't bare following my wife around Macys like a stray poodle for more than 30 minutes, I decided to take off and meet up with her later. I walked into the EB store and came across this interesting sight on the GBA section. THREE Final Fantasy IVs, each with different prices. The one on the far left is priced at $29.99, in the center the price is $34.99 and on the far right, USED at $24.99. WTF!? I guess I must be weird, but first of all, do people out there really buy used games to save $5 bucks? Not much of a bargain there. Not to mention, you risk getting some slobby kid's fukked-up game AND the manufacturer (SE in this case) won't see a dime of the profit. Then there are the other two (New I'm assuming) being marketed at different prices; just goes to show that there is a new generation of idiot kids who are getting jobs at places like this. Please don't associate being a hard-core gamer with being an ignoramus. This is insulting, these guys/gals should play a little less games and do a little more homework. I'm sure eventually I'll get a pic of the used game priced higher than the same new one. Grrr!
