There weren't many Black Friday delas here in Romania, so I don't have an amazing story to tell..


I don't know why there would be black friday in romania to begin with.

Hmm.. I don't get why you're saying that.. :/


Because I'm Romanian and Romania has lost its identity over the last 5 years and it's trying to be every other country, but its own. People on facebook posting shit in English just to be cool, and adopting english words for Romanian things. 



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

I will chime in. Went to Walmart, best buy, and target. Walmart had no consoles but had Land O Lakes butter in stock. Best buy had a few ps4s, no xboxes, and Reggie from Nintendo handing out Mario hats and play-doh that looked like Yoshi dung. Target had my man Phil Spencer there hand signing every Xbox one unit that went out the door while major Nelson was gathering shopping carts. Andrew House from Sony was there ringing the salvation army bell out front. Great times.


So you where getting butter for Brownies? Sounds like it.

That's simply part of adapting to an online and much larger world.  In the past, pre-social networking and such, the outside world seemed much, much further away.  You can still retain your culture, while adapting to a more modern world, but it will have its growing pains.

Heard bill gates was there planning to jump the store with a dirtbike.   Now that's how you sell some consoles.

Still no sign of the GC adapter or Smash GC controller + adapter bundle anywhere in NA. No one was ready for the demand for it. A few of the stores I asked about it said they never stocked it to begin with, but regretted not having done so because of the high demand.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Amazon briefly had the GC adapter in stock. Sold out in less than 2 hrs.
