Man, Gamestop are some f***ing hustlers. I went in there with the intention of getting ONE specific game. I wound up leaving with 2 extra ones I never intended to buy and a premium PowerUp Rewards membership, with newsletter and digital copies of Game Informer. I had no idea what the f*** happened. All I know is that I left the store with a bag full of s*** and a $120 hole in my wallet. The guy in line in front of me got it up the pooper much worse, though. They talked him into preordering 4 different games, a PowerUp membership, and 2 $20 PSN cards in addition to what he was already getting. The kicker in all of that was that he traded in Max Payne 3 & Uncharted 3, netting him store credit in the amount of $22. I almost felt like holding a candlelight vigil for his bank account. Meek individuals should not shop at GameStop. Don't worry, their tricks work on me too lol. I remember going in for Mortal Kombat and walked out with Mortal Kombat plus a renewal on my Powerup Pro membership, Game Informer subscription, and two pre-owned games. Gamestop does to my paychecks what Pac-Man does to Power Pellets

Funny, that's how I got my PowerUp membership in the first place. I tried to go in there for Max Payne 3, realized I didn't have enough credit for it, so the guy told me about the membership. I thought "why not?" and besides, I've been wanting one for the hell of it, so I budged and also got Red Dead Redemption: GOTY. Works for me. Now, the second time...this is the kicker. I go in with a bunch of stuff to trade in because of a 50% extra TIV deal including my old DS that I never really played anymore. It was mostly to get Lego Batman 2, but I figured if I had enough credit, I'd take advantage of the "Buy 2 used, get 1 free" deal. I planned on coming on w/ Lego Batman, MW3, and perhaps Arkham City GOTY. Well, my credit balance comes in and it turns out it's less than what I planned for. Okay...I still get Lego, but I decide to get Crysis 2 and inFamous 2. Works for me. I come home and for the hell of it, check my receipt. Without telling me or letting me know, they automatically renewed my PowerUp Pro membership. So without hassle, they screwed me out of $15 credit...which would've been more than enough to buy the games I was originally gonna buy. So I know the feeling. Why I decided to go to Best Buy to trade up for the upcoming Ratchet and Clank set. And on a completely different note, since I had enough credit to blow on a couple Blu-Ray's, I found out they were selling the latest Mission Impossible movie on BD for $10. Advantage: Best Buy

Just saying, but the fact all my favorites are available to download from PSN makes it REALLY hard to want physical copies these days lol. It's really great to see games like Mortal Kombat and Sonic Generations on PSN for about the same as Gamestop would sell them for.

I've never really had any problems with staff at a game place. I've had plenty of good chats with the staff at the local EB, most recently about how awesome Injustice looks. Also talked to another about The Old Republic going FTP which gravitated to talking about Team Fortress 2.
I bought Armored Core V the other day. I kinda regret as I actually find it kind of dissapointing. Does anyone know if For Answer was released on PS3 as well as 360?

And one piece of DLC will be Mega Man who possesses nothing special except he dies when a zombie looks at him and there will be text constantly popping up on screen saying "f*** Mega Man" What? I wouldn't put it past them.

What really irks me about the RE6 DLC is that unlike most of the time when MS gets timed exclusivity, the previous game, RE5, did NOT sell more copies on the 360 than the PS3. If either platform were to get timed exclusivity it would be in Capcom's better interests to have done it for the PS3 version, because as the last game showed, the series is still kind of seen as being a "PlayStation" series.

I hate feeling like I'm being punished for owning a PS3. I'm still waiting for f***ing Dawnguard for Skyrim!

News on the Uncharted movie:
It's being written by Marianne & Cormac Wibberley, the people behind Bad Boys II, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, The Shaggy Dog, and G-Force. They did also pen National Treasure, but hold on. They also penned National Treasure 2.
Be afraid.

Pretty sure they created Common Law, on USA which is awesome, and character wise isn't a bad template for Uncharted.
