money for games

Post by Vyrosama »

So I walked into gamestop today intending to buy a used game for $30 and ended up walking out with the game and reserving a copy for another game for $70...so essentially I spent $100 unintentionally...and if they had wii fit in-stock I probably would have bought that too!....

(FYI: bought Champions of Nortath: Return to Arms, and reserved Fallout 3...and I get a free fallout boy bobble head...geek street cred galore!)

I dunno... I spend $12/mo on Eve, and occasionally I buy a Wii game. How much is that? Probably closer to $25/mo than not, but I voted $25-50 anyway.

I haven't bought a new computer game in a while. UT2004?

Bought a few DS games randomly, but never really played them. Basically i find i buy highly rated games and realize i dont really like them. But I still pay Blizzard and Sony each month for MMOs. hehe

I uhh.. had amazon text message me when they had wii fits back in stock and they just did 3 minutes before they updated their page. Soooo..... here's to another random box next to my TV I will probably never use. gg me.

I did just do another mission in GTA4 last night. Some random jamacan guy. I know, progress.

edit: lol by the time I posted this message they were out of stock again. (< 5 minutes)

You shouldn't have hesitated!!!!! just go on a buying frenzyyyyyyyyyyyy....

If you are serious about getting one, just do the craigslist way. If you're lucky you'll find someone that's selling for a premium close to what tax would have costed or tax free for my case 8). For the DC area, there's one selling for $110 w/ receipt currently...

random link for orlando....
