Alright, that's it, I'm not shopping there any more. First they pester me, then they sell me opened games as "new" (which is great, except they readily admit this is to lower sell-back price as they won't take opened games as new, but they will SELL them as new? Hypocracy!), then there's the uppity "ya should have preordered" attitude if they are sold out of some game (which usually I find at Wal-Mart or Best Buy anyway). About the only reason I still go there is it is close. No longer, I'll go the extra mile!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
