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.

if you get a card for testing, get it in an amount that can be used for ONE purchase. like, if you know a book or something will cost $7.43, get the card for $7.43.

Small amounts of leftover money on a generic credit/gift card are practically useless, since the store has to split your total amount between the card and the till. it's not a like a store-brand giftcard that they can just swipe through their own systems or whatever. :(

YMMV, I guess, unless you want to keep refilling the card or something.
