I'm out shopping and see a used semi-obscure 7th gen game for $10. I think "hey not bad" and buy it.

Get home to see you can get it NEW on Amazon for $5. :lol:
I have to ask, which game?

I just realized last night that the current Amiibo situation very closely mirrors the plot to Mario vs Donkey Kong for the GBA. Life imitating art again?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Yep. That's why I only shop on Amazon and eBay these days.
A few times I've been in a bookstore killing time, see a book that looks interesting, start to go to buy it and then remember I should just pull it up on my Amazon app.

I do this too, but try not to do it if I am at a store where I actually care if they stick around...

That's a good point. Personally I live in the sticks so it doesn't matter to me. I have to drive 45 minutes to get to any decent stores. Granted I have GameStops closer than that, but those can burn in hell.

That Amazon app has a bar code scanner. Kind of underhanded to scan a code in the store but I'm a rebel!

I don't wanna talk about it.

Maybe I should join the 21st century and get one of those smarty phones.

Yes, a smart phone is an excellent tool for any retro game hunter out there.

Nothing to be ashamed of, an awesome pick up. :)

Prfsnl would be proud of the Wii purchase.
