I think it's funny that this thread always periodically comes back to this very topic.

But yes, their "new" game policy is garbage.

Hey, now, don't be stereotyping those folks! It could be Doritos. ;)

(Or, seriously, they could be meticulous individuals. I've known a few.)

Well if they're buying new games that aren't actually new, I'd say they aren't that meticulous. :P

I wonder what will happen to GameStop once the world does go fully digital. Will they become a retro gaming store by inevitability?

It's a day I hope never comes. I'm already hating having to download 50+ GB of patches and such as soon as I bought my PS4. I had to drag the console up to work to get it done. And I didn't even download Uncharted, which is another 40+ GB! Downloading that much data is a massive pain in the butt.

Digital only won't come until a sufficient majority has fat internet pipes. We're on our way to getting there but it's still several years out, unfortunately. At that point if you still live in an area with shitty internet you'll be SOL.

Guys, you might not know this, but Exhuminator lives in the state where Deliverance was filmed. Like lives in the rural part of the state. Like that's him playing banjo.

"Squeal like a pig," is how they say hello out there. Trust me, I know.

To be honest you squealed more like a baboon, I was kind of disappointed.
