Fuck preorders.
Between, Circuit City, Best Buy, Walmart, Two different Frys in my area and two local mom and pop game stores ...... why the hell would I want to EVER preorder?
If gamestop cant get more stock than their preorders, they lose my dollar.
I go into Best Buy, pick up new...
.... you go out to your car in the morning to start your commute to work. Pull on your cars door handle for a second then stop yourself just before you hit the windshield with your elbow.
I look at it as entertainment value per hr.
(100 - 150 an hr)
I can go to a gun range and fire 100 rounds of .45 ACP from my gun, that will run me about 55 to 70 dollars for about 30 min.
(6 bucks an hr)
A 90 min movie at a movie theater will run me about 10 bucks for a single ticket...
To put it in perspective. I drive by a gamestop here in Dallas on the way back from work late most nights, so I get to see the midnight launch lines that make the news anytime a new console/handheld or much anticipated game comes out.
Gta was just another line, probably about 200 people in...
I did a search on ebay for "GTA4 Special" just before I took my lunch break, and saw the special editions going for around 160 dollars buy it now.
Luckily I came to my senses and just went 5 min up the street to circuit city on my lunchbreak.
Dallas as well here, if you got the box on a monday, and dropped it off at the UPS center that same monday, fairly early, youre looking at getting it back around the following tues or wed at the latest.
Some of my returns were about 7 days, the latest was about 9.
The repair facility is in...
Ouch.
That sucks bru. Sorry =[
If that happened to me, id either borrow a friends until I got mine back from repair, or just go buy a new one straight out.
I feel your pain though, one of my 360s is the 7th ive gotten back from MS repair. I know all too well the hassle involved.
This is all under the assumption of course, that my wife hasnt already divorced me and taken our kid when I demand that at the age of 6 he "be cast out into the wilderness" and not come back until he brings me the skin of a wolf.
0_o
My kid, at that age, will be sitting next to daddy.
"no no, look, you gotta keep your pimp hand strong, you want kick her in the vag 1st, THEN back hand her. That way, shes already bent over slightly, and your hand doesnt have to travel as far."
You should have done it with a bit more flare tho.
Maybe nudged her and said "GTA4 huh?, man thats so awesome, I wish when I was his age we had games where we would get hookers to suck our dicks and all kinds of awesome degenerate shit like that ...... fuuuuuck, youre the coolest mom ever...
Id rather you be an asshole and deprive that kid the game than have to hear more idiots bitch about how videogames cause kids to be violent.
Bravo to you.
A Circuit city here in dallas had about 10 special editions for each platform, and a nice stack of regular for each platform as well.
I just walked in, got my special edition and walked out. No muss, no fuss. Fuck pre ordering shit.
As a side note, this saftey deposit box is going to get...
Shit is hot, theres a frys right by me in Plano. I know where im swinging by on my lunch break.
*edit*
Id get more than one, BUT, it says limit one per customer. =\
Ive owned both, and I can honestly say I love my LCD more.
DLP has size going for it. Thats about it. If you compare a DLP that costs X amount of money and an LCD that costs the same, yes the LCD is going to be smaller, but more often than not its going to have a crisper and cleaner image...
Hahahaha, thats funny. No really, im serious. Wheres the world pvp.
and no, outlands world pvp doesnt count.
1.) because its a fucking joke.
2.) because the rewards are shit.
3.) they constrain you to one tiny little "arena" out in the world.
You cant take a wet shit and put it...
Wow became a joke the second the developers started discouraging world pvp and city raiding.
Thats the truth.
Heroic instances? why not just name them "hi, we are so fucking lazy we are going to recycle 5 mans, thanks for giving us your money every month sucker"?
That game is riddled...

Sold out, sorry bru. Your best bet now is to try ebay, but expect to pay at least 400+ for it.
Buy a 360 if youre into, oh I dont know, playing videogames.
Buy a wii so your girl can rock out to some mario galaxy (seriously, who doesnt enjoy watching him butt stomp?)
Buy a PS3 to play blu ray movies on your HDTV.
Buy them all.

No I did not and thats an oversimplification of the argument, the Dark Forces series core mechanic that it was a first person shooter FIRST. Then when it moved over to being an fps/3rd person perspective lightsaber game it did so fairly well. Plus it eventually got to the point that it was quite...
