I went into gamestop today...

"So you like to fight huh?"

 

[beenz]

They sell used ps4 consoles for $389.99 and used Xbox ones for $339.99...

Who the fukk is buying these things for that $10 discount over buying it new?

Man, there's an Arab spot here that sells phones, shoes, clothes and games. My boy bought the white destiny PS4 FOR $375 Brand new with no tax including destiny.

This same spot also sells new wrapped games for $50 including tax

just thinking about all those games thrown out has me feeling some type of way. I been trying to build up my dreamcast game collection and everybody wants an arm and a leg for games. Now I know these scumbag companies are throwing out gaming history.

You live in a good craigslist area? You can grab cheap dreamcast games quick that way. Some even sell the consoles for about $20

As a consumer you can never find a true deal at stores like these because anything under a certain profit margin we simply throw away instead of selling.
For example, if customer A brings us a game that we give him a quarter for, its not like we sell that game for 50 cents so the next person can play it. We put it in a box and its considered de-inventorized which means either we throw it away or mail it to corporate so they can throw it away. We only bought it for a quarter in the first place because removing older games from the market is pivotal in being able to charge an arm and a leg for new games.

Good Thread.
I use GameStop though, I'm not Exclusively Buying from them because it's just Impossible. That Gamercard Sale is just ridiculous most of the time. Useless for Consoles too, I haven't gone Next Gen yet but I probably won't Buy from GS when I do.

If that makes you mad you'd be furious if you knew how console companies encoutage developers to make your games suck compared to what the develepor can actually make.
I was at Activision when they were taking the four player Raven engine (its the engine for X-Men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc) and caping it at two players for the Fantastic Four game.
Its released on both xbox (a 4 player console) and gamecube (a 4 player console) but sony (with the 2 player playstation) had more pull so they changed the engine that already supported native 4 players to be 2 players across the board.
They did the same thing with ninja turtles. 4 turtles... 2 players.
Sony used to screw gamers hard.
