Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.
Well Amazon's own "service" is doing the final leg of delivery so I'll either see it in 2 hours or 2-10 days. God bliss.

well why not posted:

I wonder if FAST RMX / Snipperclips would've got some of that attention if they'd had in-store copies. They're probably better games than Bomberman.

Fast RMX is fantastic, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it get a physical version at some point considering it got one for WiiU.

Looking at it the wrong way.
Yeah never, ever try to cross digital purchases with a physical store. Just don't do it. If you're having second thoughts about physical, don't try to half-assedly convert it to a digital pre-order, cancel that poo poo outright. The man behind the counter will screw you.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

2.7 consoles sold in the first month in spite of the March launch guys, Switch is doing better than even Nintendo expected and I'm not blaming them after their poo poo godawful ice cubes presentation.

Zelda also has an attach rate that's well over 1:1 lol.

GameStop has no reason to exist and only serves as an unnecessary middleman for screwing people.

Unless you really like Prima guides and magazines subscriptions, I guess.

Looks like one of those air dancers at used car sales lots. Not a bad thing. Glad to see this fighter confirmed eitherway, the arms make me like it more.

Also if you have to buy games at release physically, get one through Amazon or Best Buy with prime/game club. I only used ganestop for a switch pre order and that's about it, they're only good for used games are lovely nerd merch.

It's okay if you're after specifically physical goods. Would take it over gambling on shipping/delivery times from an online retailer. But this was a first (and final) time trying this particular angle. Wanted to switch to digital to skip having to wait for the store to open next day... had to do it anyway and plus due to it being digital I am most likely past the point of no return on canceling it so I can't just tell them to stuff it and download it from the eshop.

Basically don't buy Nintendo from Gamestop if you want it right at midnight. Least not from the physical location.

My copy of Puyo Puyo Tetris was delivered on time, on release day. Don't give up yet, Amazon Prime Havers.

Also, they refunded me 11 cents because the price somehow dropped by that much between preordering and shipping :laffo:

It has remote buy, but the download doesn't happen until the console comes out of sleep mode, IIRC.

I bought my Friday game digitally, preloaded it a couple of days earlier, then didn't even start it at midnight because I needed to sleep, then go to work. Then I'm going to go buy my weekend groceries and do some chores. But I'm sure I get to play the game at 6 pm ish.
