Forums - Microsoft - MrBubbles goes to Blockbuster!

so i went and picked up a copy of Shadowrun.  its buy 2 get 1 free and i was looking at the Darkness which was only $8, but i couldnt find anything else i wanted for under that(for any system).  They are notorious for overpricing on almost everything.   

During my looking around i noticed they had at least 5 40gig PS3s (shortage my foot ).  

And overheard an amusing conversation between parent and child looking at the wii games.  The parent advised the child the game they had picked out was not compatible with the GC controller causing the child to become irate.   Young kid (idk, 4 maybe).  i had thought that children would prefer wiimote over a controller.  

 

Had a look at the used movies...it seems they raised the prices  $3-6 dollars and then announced a 30% off sale.   i was not amused and didnt purchase any.

 

Then they try and push that "gaming pass" thing when i get to the counter.  $30 dollars for unlimited game rentals (conviently leaving out that you can only rent one at a time) saying that its only the price of 3 game rentals.  I stopped renting games when they jacked the price to $12 for a weeks rental.   It doesnt sound like a good deal, no matter how i look at it because shafting people with less shaft still means your shafting them.

 

The End.

i like it that the games will get cheap eventually (because they keep them overpriced for so long no one buys them and they are stuck with tons of copies) they had about 8 copies of the Darkness.

Not as good as Leo-j's adventures, but still pretty good.

Mr.Bubbles is talking about Blockbuster Canada. Maybe the US Blockbuster is different.

It was a nice story, I liked it.

no, couldnt find any other game to get with it (as it was buy2get1free i would have needed a third).  perhaps in a couple weeks though.
