Countdown to E3 2003

[OB1]

Damn, you are the most stubborn person I've ever known. You just said that you never go to these stores, while I do! So who's going to know better, genius?? Go to walmart.com and target.com and look up the games yourself.

[A Black Falcon]

I wouldn't be shopping at Wal-Mart or Target anyway, so there's no point...

[OB1]

Boy, you can never admit when you're wrong, can you? Even when faced with lots of proof.

[Dark Jaguar]

I don't see what the big deal is about those stores. They sell more stuff at cheaper prices. OOh, they are running the small businessman out of business, BIG DEAL! If they want to earn my money, get competitive! It's capitalism! Why would I buy from the store with more expensive stuff and lower selection? I see no reason not to buy from whoever has the superior product or has the lower price.

[A Black Falcon]

Get competitive? Uhh... that is impossible. It is impossible to compete with Wal-Mart. It buys things in massive numbers so gets huge discounts... local stores can never match that. I'd think you'd know that...

Oh, and I have been to those stores a few times and their selection of PC games is always awful...

[OB1]

Good Lord... ABF will never admit when he's wrong. They carry pretty much all of the latest good PC games and for better prices than EB or Gamestop.

[A Black Falcon]

I would admit that for the few recent, good games they have they sometimes do have them for a lower price. However, they also have MASSIVE selections of terrible games... and very, very thin selections of mid to older games. Both EB and GameStop (especially the latter) have great selections of those... Gamestop still sells used SNES games, and has LOTS of old PC games... and both have good selections of (mostly used) N64 games...

If you want the latest hit Tycoon game for $5 cheaper, go there. Fine. But don't if you want a much better selection, or anything that isn't 2 weeks old or a top 10 seller...

[Dark Jaguar]

Then that's their problem. I found a place that sells stuff cheaper, I go there. The details are of no import to me. They want to compete? Find a way to lower THEIR prices. The details don't matter, I just want results.

[A Black Falcon]

Can you not read, or do you not pay attention? NO small store that could ever match Wal-Mart's prices... and that is exactly the point...

Oh, and I'd rather pay a couple dollars more if it means not shopping at Wal-Mart.

[OB1]

ABF, that's what I've been trying to say this whole time, yet you've constantly countered it with "nope!". Walmart and Target do carry all of the best, most popular newest games for much better prices than EB and Gamestop, so that's why I buy certain games from them. If I want to find an old copy of Monkey Island I'll go to Babbages. Oh and Babbages doesn't even carry Jedi Knight, while Target does. So suck it.

[Laser Link]

I am excited about E3 as well, but I have finals all week so I won't be able to sit at the computer and get all the goodness right away. And also, today is my last day of Insider, so I know I'm going to go insane having a limit of 5 screens a day during E3. Guess I'll have to move to PGC and the rest completely now. :(

[A Black Falcon]

Uhh... LL you just delete your IGN cookies from your harddrive and you get 5 more...

Oh, and last time I was at Gamestop they had Jedi Knight... 1 and 2...

[Laser Link]

Ahhh, that works. See, you guys will have to teach me all of the ways to cheat the system. I've been in the upper realm of society for so long that I don't know how to live in the real world. :)

[A Black Falcon]

Its not cheating the system... its not like you can get access to insider reviews or articles or anything... just the picture limit. And it is irritating to have to delete cookies from IGN all the time... but better than paying them...

What, can't afford to get it again? Or do you not want it anymore?

[Laser Link]

Both actually. I don't have a lot of money, and I don't really want to spend what I do have on Insider. It's good, and I think it's worth the money if you really want to follow what's going on, but I don't really care all that much anymore. So it's just not worth it to me.

[A Black Falcon]

I also don't like most shellfish (shrimp are ok), most fish (except tuna salad and fish sticks and salmon), and lamb...

Oh, and is this a good time to mention I don't like lettuce? Its true... I remember when I was in Slovenia everyone thought it was just bizarre to not eat salad...

Chicken: the mainstay of my meat diet. :)

[OB1]

You're a freak, man!

[Sacred Jellybean]

I bet Falcon looks like the hunchback of Notre Dam. This is completely random speculation, based on nothing but my perverted imagination.

13 DaYz, hOmIEz!!!!11 :finger:

[A Black Falcon]

No, I don't think so... :)

[Great Rumbler]

Only 13 days left!

[Great Rumbler]

ONLY 6 DAYS LEFT!!!

I hope Nintendo reveals Ground Zero and Fear at E3.

[Sacred Jellybean]

They better!

Holy crap, only 6 days? ph3ar.

[OB1]

I bet that those will be the two big secret games at Nintendo's booth. The big holiday games. Fear in October (right in time for Hall-o-ween) and Game Zero in December. That's just blind speculation, of course.

[Great Rumbler]

After hearing about those two games I am really excited about E3! *giggles like a school-girl* ^_^

[Nintendarse]

tee-hee-hee! In less than five days, we'll be drowning in Nintendo PrE3 Press Conference lovin'! LOVIN'!

[Great Rumbler]

4 days to go!!

[Sacred Jellybean]

3 days! :love:

[OB1]

OMG!!

[A Black Falcon]

Nintendo press conference is TOMORROW! Yeah!
