@Tandy255 "After selling some of my old games on eBay"
Ya, you sold your games on eBay for market prices (The actual price someone is willing to pay for your goods). My point was that Gamestop does not buy at market price... But hey, taking advantage of youths who don't always have access to markets seem like a respectable business practice.
If Reggie can't help turn Gamestop around, then I will have no place to sell back my $60 games for pennies on the dollar. And use those very few pennies I get back to buy more "brand new" unsealed games with all the codes, books and goodies missing. What ever will I do?
I'm super excited for this one! As soon as I saw the trailer I knew it was for me. I just hope the game-play music is as good as that heard in the trailer. I love that this is being published by SRG, the most virtuous "limited model type" company in the business. I can always depend on my game being imported to me within two weeks time, as opposed to 6+ months from the other companies. I never feel like my investments are just being used as interest free loans with SRG.
@Cheez It's just a common idiom that I used to help illustrate my point of view. I think you may have taken the phrase too literal. My context here had nothing to do with monetary value. I was talking about the style and design of Funko Pops in general compared to the quality and style of nendoroids.
To me Funko Pops are the poor man's nendoroids and just not at all my style. Since these don't have giant heads and big round black eyes, a full set might actually look pretty neat.
So when you fully assemble this transformer, the gun trigger becomes Megatron's..........? Yeah, I'm sure the prudes at Nintendo will jump on this idea.
I'm a big fan of anything on my head that doesn't constantly blast radio waves to and fro while being so close to my brain and eyes. I think I'll bite on this but I would prefer the colors to be Mario red or Joy con grey.
A reminder to everyone that you don't need to make a brand new name every time you want access to another country's eshop. All you have to do is log onto your my-Nintendo account online and in the settings, change your country / time zone to the eshop you want. You will be asked to sign back into your eshop again on the switch and you're in!
This works really well for me because I am able to amass all my gold coins on one account. When I buy a Japan import I switch my time zone, claim my gold, then switch back to US account. The gold points will always still be waiting for me when I switch back and forth.
This also works well when I buy a game that has gold points expired in the US like Bomberman. I just Switch my time zone to London, claim my points (because EU has a 2 year window for gold expiration instead of US 1 year claim), then when I am done I just switch back.
You can only use points in the eshop you claimed them in, but at least you still get to claim them and it stays on one account.

Re: Jet Set Radio Inspired Parkour Game Hover Is Receiving A PM Studios Physical Release
Dang, now I have to make the decision on whether or not to cancel my physical per-order from Red Art Games. I much prefer PM's cover art on this one.

Has it sold out already? You are able to pre-order on other platforms but the switch is listed as sold out, what gives?
