As are you now. Dishonored was fantastic.
I had so much hope for the game, but I just didn't like how it felt at all.

What the hell is up with SNES game prices, like this past summer Demon's Crest was going for around $50-60 on Amazon and i remember seeing a copy for $30 at a local game store and was like "meh dont have enough cash for it atm, get it another day".

Now i look on Amazon and its going for $90 Minimum, are these prices being artificially inflated? did everyone who played this game as a kid all of a sudden get a job and decide to go buy all their favorite SNES games?

Makes me so glad i have my copies of EVO, Pocky & Rocky 2, Aero Fighters, ill retire on these at this rate.

I know. I did the same thing with Sunset Riders and SNES and now it goes for over $50 on the low end. Crazy.

I know the Genesis version is an option, but I really don't want to take the downgraded version.

Hoarders, gougers, flippers, speculators, unboxers, second-rate YouTubers, and other malcontents are all driving prices up. Thank thee lords I got Earthbound when I did.

Just checked on eBay. That's insane... :shock:

And to think I sold 2 loose cartridges for €45 an €50 a year or 2 ago... :x

Still got my boxed copy though. Unfortunately no scratch 'n sniff cards... :|

So the other day i was at Gamestop picking up a few games and i overheard a girl asking a question concerning a Wii console purchase.

They had plenty of cheap used on there, but the douch clerk mention to the girl who had no idea to buy the newer one. The reason behind this was that it was more reliable and also came with a free game.

What tick me off is that guy failed to mention the cons of the newer Wii console and surely if she knew she would of not bought it.

To me she seem like the type who probably would use the console more for netflix, hulu, etc...

Do these gamestop guys get commission on selling new products rather than old ones?

Did you correct him?

And this really should go in the Gamestop thread.
