yea I bet you can also buy a device that puts the shrink wrap back on the game to sell it as new too. ffs if you take the shrink wrap off they consider it used and trade in value is instantly half price.

Has anyone ever seen anyone cool working at gamestop? Like anyone you'd actually listen to if they tried to give you advice? I didn't think so...

 

Makingmusic works at one. However, I agree that makingmusic isn't cool or worth listening to. :P

Maxwell and Zucas too. Bunch of lame people.

@theprof00

I just checked. the crappy ones range from $30 to $60(but probably all you need)
better ones are like $100-$200
and then the huge ones that you dont need are over $1000
