What I'm not getting as a gift this year.
Pirates of the Caribbean. Any of them. And I kinda understand, because they haven't actually come down in price, yet. The Collectors Edition DVDs are the same[ish] price as the BluRay, and I don't have a BluRay player.
Stupid format wars.
I'm also not getting my NES, partly because my NES quit working years ago, and was replaced with a yard sale NES. My mom had the thing open and in pieces this morning, trying to get it to work right.
I guess I'll have to get one at gamexplosion, and I probably will if I get my old games back. I had a lovely, shiny Legend of Zelda....
I don't know why I want my NES, or even my SNES. I know I could probably get these games some other way, but...I don't know. Nostalgia, maybe? I want to play them the way I used to.
I'm kinda thinking about digging out the Atari and hooking it up, too.
Oh, in case you're wondering what a 'gamexplosion' is, it's this:
They have a lot of stuff.
So far, the store's been pretty good to me. We got a Genesis3 there, which had this little spontaneous reset issue, and they let us trade it for a Genesis2 that works wonderfully. The last time we were in there, we got a game that, well, I guess they forgot to give us the game part [happens a lot with used games], and we were able to get the problem fixed without any real problems.
...I guess that wasn't actually 'the last time we were in there', but 'the last time we bought stuff there'. The actual 'last time we were in there', they had five or six NESs on display.
Like any good thing existing in the modern world, gamexplosion has a website, and a forum.
And they make use of cute animal pictures to warn you that you're on camera.
They're kinda local, though. If you happen to be in the area, you can probably use them for your gaming needs. If not, maybe they'll get an online store up and running eventually.
