and another sale bites the dust.

"I should start a counter on how much money ebgames/gamestop has lost due to their insistance on mangling product and calling it still new. With just these two games alone, that total is now up to $69.98. (49.99 and 19.99) "

Let's add $44.99 to the total.

They had 3-5 or so copies of Persona 3 Portable today. And no copies sealed. Meaning once again they gutted every copy they had to put on the shelf.

They lost another sale.

I think I'll start a counter on my webpage next to the Games Complete list listing all the sales lost to video game stores due to them failing to keep their product intact. I can't just say "gamestop/ebgames" however since a couple other stores in town also do this shit. Gamestop/ebgames is just by far the worst at it.

*update*

I now own Persona 3 Portable. I bought it at Wal-Mart for $44.83 - properly sealed.

I know a lot of people have credit/debit card issues but my thought is that the reality of online ordering makes having one worthwhile. It's entirely possible to get a no-fee credit card with a very small limit (say, $200) that you use only as your online payment. You pay the balance in full with a check/MO when you get the bill and you incurr no interest. Likewise because the limit is very low you don't have that "take a vacation on credit" temptation. It's basically just an extension cord.
