Local used game [and other stuff] place was doing a buy-2-get-1 sale the other day, so I grabbed some OG Xbox games that my collection was missing:
I've been buying PS2/GC/Xbox games left and right lately since they are extremely cheap. Still looking for Outrun 2006 on the cheap.
All my local places seemed to shift over to 360/PS3 a couple years ago and that stuff somehow disappeared overnight
I feel like even the Wii wasn't around for long, I should probably go up to the north side of town to the semi-hub of three or four independent places all in a set of strip malls along a few miles (that seem to exist to exist for their friends, not to make profit and be an actual business like the ones on my end), also that "antique mall" that at one point was half actual antiques half people renting the booths to sell comics, Magic cards, Warhammer figures, modern video games, etc.
Back in like 2006-2008 I had a great time raiding this one particular GameStop's bins of PS1 (?!?), PS2 and Xbox games. Multiple times the checkout dude was like "aww man I was hoping nobody saw that until I clocked out" and it was my sweet sweet revenge against him trying to sell me Game Informer subscriptions and carding me every single time for M rated games, something not even Wal-Mart has ever done.
Most of the time it was just him being semi-bummed than legit mad, except for the time I set the copy of
Zone of the Enders I found (it had been badly hidden, but I was used to looking through their crap because they never organized it in any manner and often put the games the wrong way in one bin so you couldn't just stand there and see the labels but had to flip through them) for $4 on the counter and he was all "yo, can you check this guy out I need to hit the john" to the only other employee who was ever there in those days.
