Video Game Pickups 6/22/16 Edition

Have made a few Misc Pickups over the last month or so. Not out much, as I am getting married next week, and have a reception to pay for. Anyway, on to the Pickups!

End of April and Early May picked up the last 2 Free Doom Cards from Gamestop

Complete Set of 4

And another pickup from my daughter, she picked these up at a thrift store, and they were 1/2 off that day and ended up being $2.00/$2.50. We still enjoy playing lots of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, F the Haters!

2 Gutiar Hero Microphones, We had 2 Rock Band ones already, but cannot have enough extras!

And a Forced Gamestop Pickup (See my Fuck Gamestop Rant HERE)

 $5 n Change for Both

Red Steel for the Wii

Crysis 3 for the Xbox 360

And speaking of 360 games, I popped into a Goodwill 2 weeks ago? And picked this one up.

 Heroes Over Europe

Complete and in Great Shape

And I was going through my Ridge Racer Games, and Realized I did not have one of them. So, being the impulsive person I am, I immediately went to eBay, and found me a nice, clean, complete copy.

Rage Racer

Complete and In Brand New Condition!

I remember renting this back in the 90's and my brother and I played for hours. This is the first game I remember, where you were able to customize and decorate your car.

The sellers items included free shipping, I paid $8.00 for Rage Racer and figured I might as well look at what else he had, and picked up this for $4.00.

 F-15 Strike Eagle III for the Sega Genesis

 Manual is missing the cover, but it included the poster

And while we are on the subject of Sega Genesis Games. I got a game and case I needed from a great You Tuber, Cory from Collecting with Cory. Check him out!

I was watching one of his Pickup Videos,and saw he had these extra, and I offered to buy them from him, but he just sent them to me, Awesome, Thanks Cory!

 Cyborg Justice, another game my Brother and I used to play

And a case for a game I had Cartridge only.

World of Illusion

And with my Cartridge snugly in it's new home

And this past weekend, I also picked up a couple new T-shirts

FUCK Gamestop!

Yeah, I know. Many, Many, Many Hundreds of people have Gamestop complaints, all over the internet. So many that, it makes one wonder How the hell do they stay in business?

My point is, a Gamestop Rant is nothing, new. However, This is mine.

As I detailed in my one year anniversary blog (Read Here) I don't shop at Gamestop (since November 2013), but I do use their Power Up Rewards program.

Last week I logged in to do the Xtra Point surveys on their website, I had accumulated 10,xxx points, and I was working towards 11,500 to get a $10.00 Xbox Live Credit Download Card. I looked up at the top right corner, and my total was only 5,xxx? 

WTF? Where did 5,000 points go? Did someone hack my account?

I looked at the redemption history, and yeah GAMESTOP hacked my account and decided to take 5,000 of my points, and redeemed them for a $5.00 in store credit. Which I couldn't use online, couldn't use for DLC or Xbox Live Credit, with a time limit! I only had 3 weeks to redeem my forced voucher.

Again I say WTF?!?! In all the years I've had this Power Up Rewards Membership, has this happened, is this a new thing?

Who the Fuck is Gamestop to tell me what I am going to do with  MY Hard Earned Power Up Rewards Points? I earned those points in MY account. Gamestop has NO Fuckin Right to say when or what I will redeem them on. Forcing me to have to go to one of their Understaffed, Over Cluttered, High Pressure Sales Retail Outlets. Preposterous!

So I went, bought 2 games (Red Steel for the Wii & Crysis 3 for the Xbox 360) and redeemed my voucher, and as usual got Gamestops patented Shitty Customer Service, with the high pressure every add on sales attempt......


I sent a complaint email (a nice clean, well laid out email). Detailing my experience, questioning the forced redemption, and of course I have not heard one single thing from them, what a shock......

FUCK YOU GAME STOP, FUCK YOU!
