Yep, it's a new year and I'm at Los Angeles again to see what's new. We should move the 1st day of the year to May something. I still didn't get how E3 staff chooses a date, maybe they use the moon calendar, or Jupiter calendar, whatever.
The fact is: until May, everything in the games industry is boring and slow. Now we are set for a new beginning. BUT, that's not the problem here, and there's something that you must now.
EB GAMES staff comes from HELL. I don't know whats wrong with those guys. Actually I spent one week prior to E3 at Las Vegas. First of all, I went to the Fashion Mall, and for my surprise I saw an EB Games store.
Those guys are nuts. You ask for a NEW game, they just say: you're crazy, what's wrong with you, you MUST take the used games, because they are easier, cheaper, funnier, bla bla bla...
I DON'T WANT A USED GAME! Is that so hard to understand. So, I asked for a brand new game, they guy asked for my credit card, ok. Then I saw that the games were not new, but used ones. I told the guy, I WANT NEW GAMES, so I had to listen all that crap again, that I should buy used games.
And then, you won't believe. Here at home, in Brazil, I opened the "new" box with my GTA:LCS for PSP, and........... THE GAME WAS NOT INSIDE THE BOX !!!! AAAAAAHHH.
A sealed box, new one. No game inside. 49.99 bucks on the thrash.
That's EB Games. Hell on Earth. Take care, you were advised.
