Hey guys, it's me! Dark Prince of New York City! Sorry I haven't on recently (or for a long time...). Anyways, I'll continue:

Alright, so, in this mall, I go into Gamestop (for those of you who don't know it, it's a video game store), and I wanted to buy the gsme Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and then, as soon as I was waiting in line for, like, five minutes, I then go to the desk or whatever, and then, when I'm about to pull out my wallet, the clerk says "How much is it?", so then I checked the price, went back, and the line was full again -_-. I waited another a five minutes, then I got back again, and then I said the price, and then I realized that I had to go back and get a another copy of the game (because of the serial code, and it wasn't on the one I had), so I did so, then the line was full AGAIN (yes, again -_-). So, I waited ANOTHER five minutes to buy it, and then I did.

And, trust me, it's longer than it sounds.

The video game stores around here never have more than six or seven people at once. I once saw that game preowned for £20. Should I have bought it?

 

[M.K]

Wait, what? Why did you have to get back in line behind all of those people? That's stupid, usually they just allow you to cut ahead.
Well, that's what I would have done anyways.

 

[Firus]

That does suck, but I've had worse.

When I was getting Pokemon Diamond and Pearl I had to wait a whole hour because I wanted to use my gift cards and their system was crashing every single time they tried to use them, and I eventually had to just use cash anyways. And I reserved them and was getting them on release date and everything, so I was really excited to play them.

I was going to get Phantom Hourglass in a sale when Woolworths was closing (so it was pretty crowded). Got to the till after around 15 minutes, gave them the game, and they tell me that the game had been sold out for ages.

I think people should buy Phantom Hourglass on-line- becuase shops don't seem to like giving it to you easily XD.

15 minuets is nothing.

I once had to wait 4 hours for my mom to pick me up from elementary school. (Yes, I was scared as hell).

 

[Kris121]

Who doesnt know Gamestop is a video game store!??!

Real men walk.

I anticipated Brawl for months and months, only to get DRE when it finally arrived. The people who could have cared less were later found the next day in school, talking about how awesome the game was. Needless to say, I was in a state of rage until my Wii got back the next week.

They found part of a CD case in my Wii. My stupid sister had lodged it in there. >_>

This reminds me of the time I walked into the cinema and bought tickets for the premiere of The Return of the King which would start 10 minutes later. No people in line. A freakin' miracle.

Whaaaaaat? Where the **** did that happen?

That's amazing and it makes me happy.

Gamestops have always been crowded for me.
Gameden however usually never has over 3 or 4 people, I love that store.

 

[Teran]

Reminds me of trying to get a Wii on launch, except it was more like waiting a billion years and still not getting one.

And to think all the passion Nintendo fans put in on release...

LOL GG Iwata, I salute you.

 

[momochuu]

Just wait until you actually play Phantom Hourglass. Oh man you're gonna be pissed.

Frown, your life is amazing.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Man, thats not as bad as being locked out of your house (and noone was home) so you had to sleep outside.

No, no tent.

 

[HiveSteel]

ftilt > dsmash and youre first in line =D

Just wait until you actually play Phantom Hourglass. Oh man you're gonna be pissed.

LOL

 

[Kinzer]

World of Wacraft, having went strong from pre-Ahn'Quraji release up until a couple of days after Wrath of the Lich King.

And you think 15 minutes is a waste of your life?

 

[Noobicidal]

I've been playing the same low-grade MMO since '04.

15 minutes is a long time!

 

[SOVAman]

Just wait until you actually play Phantom Hourglass. Oh man you're gonna be pissed.

LMFAO

so true

Hahaha . I know the feeling man...

No, no tent.

This too.
I had forgotten my keys and my mom went sleeping at her boyfriend's. I didn't have a single 50 cents or anything. I ended up waiting a little over 15 hours .
(It was already late, and she came back pretty early, luckily.)

 

[Delta-cod]

Don't you guys have neighbors that'd let you spend the night on the sofa or something? Friends?

 

[MidnightAsaph]

That's too bad. I believe that next time you'll be checking to make sure everything is fine? haha

 

[urdailywater]

Just wait until you actually play Phantom Hourglass. Oh man you're gonna be pissed.

It's not that bad.

Not challenging, though, but it's still pretty good considering it's hand-held.

Whoa, hold the phone here. You're going to freaking Gamestop here. How are you NOT going to get ripped off?

 

[highfive]

Gamestop is for n00bs. Ebay is where it's at.

 

[Kinzer]

What's wrong with Gamestop? Perhaps I'm a bit more fortunate/lucky than some other people around here but I don't recall having any bad experience.

 

[Falconv1.0]

Just wait until you actually play Phantom Hourglass. Oh man you're gonna be pissed.

Stop failing at failing. Gives me less reason to insult you.

[bobson]

If that was the biggest waste of your life, your life must be incredibly structured.

 

[:mad:]

I was thinking the same thing as bobson. If waiting in line for a game was the biggest waste of your life, I take it you're still a child, or you've never been to an amusement park on a busy day. I waited 40 minutes to go on Wahoo Run because of the **** tourists just so I could bust my knees and get them bloody by jumping out of the raft.

Yeah, yeah, because that was such a horrible experience.

 

[Dark Prince of New York City]

Well, that's what I would have done anyways.

Well, I indeed enjoy your kindness there, Meta-Kirby! But seriously, when I tried to cut in fron of people until I reached my previous spot, they just shoved me all the way to the back :,(.

Whenever I go to gamestop there's no one there but they always ask me if I want to subscribe or signup for Gameinformer. Silly Gamestop.
