Haha, I did the same, but didn't pull the trigger because as it turns out, a PS4 Pro isn't even really an upgrade to a launch PS4. Was gonna trade in my PS4, Wii U, a smattering of controllers and 8 games. Would've got a little over $500 in trade credit. I don't want $500 in Gamestop Bux unless a new console I want is coming out.

I've heard vague rumblings that Bomberman is not good but nothing specific, any comments? Like, how do you gently caress up Bomberman?

I love my (actually) dead gay console failures too much to part with them, though, even though I just sold most of their games. I'll probably sell them on eBay later on this year. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Jul 1, 2017 |

The launch was really bad with the controller input lag, frame rate, and online lag, but they've since patched out the input lag, the regular mode runs at 60, and they've done a decent job of fixing the online lag issues.

Oh so it was just tech issues and not "replaced bombs with flowerpots" or "removed all items" or some bullshit? I'll take a second look then, bomberman ruled when I was a kid and clearly it will rule exactly as hard now I am a grown man.

What are the deets on the 70% GameStop thing? I have a bunch of old games and poo poo I could definitely get rid of for music gear money. Would it be worth it? I haven't traded anything there for a good while. e: hm sounds like cash is a no go. Oh well. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jul 1, 2017 |

well for starters I'm pretty sure the deal only gives you in-store credit so you can forget about the music gear

Konami's put out a lot of free content like free costumes and such, on top of doing a job of lessening any kind of grind in it too. The isometric single-player story mode doesn't run at 60 which is a little disappointing but I imagine most people are getting Bomberman for the classic mode though.

Nintendo asked an American company to make a new Kid Icarus game for the Wii, and they decided to do a dark and edgy Kid Icarus, about an adult Pit who had been kicked out of heaven for a crime he didn't commit. Nintendo actually gave them a new HD model of kid Pit for them to use, and the company was like, nah, we're gonna make him grown up and mean and also he's gonna wear black armor

TBF this is kinda close to those chapters in Kid Icarus Uprising where he awakens after 3 years and the world is hosed up because he lost control of his body and it ended up killing lots of humans, and Palutena tries to kill the humans with her army cause they're ungrateful. There was also the section where Pit's wings got burned up and he almost dies, which prompts Dark Pit to team up with Palutena to raid the underwold and help him out. Though KI:U balanced all the slight edginess with it's rampant comedy.

I compared the store trade-in value of my game collection vs what I could get on eBay. Long story short, you should absolutely get a bulk pack of bubble envelopes and eBay the hell out of your unused games/systems.

I literally made more going to GameStop than I would have selling on eBay, and that's not counting the large amount of time and headache saved not having to ship and deal with PayPal and the loving sea of potential scammers and bullshit out there. 10 minutes and more money > eBay/less money/time/bullshit

I'm not sure I can get good at arms, occasionally I feel like I'm in the zone but I will turn back into spaghetti immediately. It's just flailing and button mashing and accidental screenshots.

Yup, this exactly. My wife sells stuff online for side income and she checked eBay/Amazon for the games I traded and agreed that it wasn’t worth the hassle of listing, selling, and shipping them for maybe $30 more. True, I now have $320 in GameStop Bux but let’s face it–I’m gonna be spending that much on video games in the next year anyway. Oh and if you bought 1-2-Switch and regret it, GameStop gave me $51 for it.

eBay sucks. I find it much easier to sell games on Amazon or even here in sa mart. Those deals sounds pretty decent so I guess GameStop isn't a complete rip off sometimes now.

You'd probably still have to listen to their promotions of signing up to Game Informer and also their gamestop membership card or whatever it is and any pre-orders you might be interested in. yes, I'm really bitter and annoyed about poor employees whom are forced to ask everyone that even if you're just there to buy a used game.
