I’ve got line-standers on standby, so no worries there. You just have to be there when they open, otherwise no dice.

Well…while it turns out they may have shipments this week, you can’t reserve them. So I packed up all of my games, headed over to my local Gamestop to see how long I’d have to wait for my semi-free PS4. Well, ok, not amazing but at least I have my library of games to make up the bulk of the cost. Shocker #2: Gamestop said they’d give me $60 for the PS3…until they double checked and said they could only give me $50 for it. So maybe I won’t get all the stuff I envisioned for a straight trade, but If I can get an entire new setup for under $100, I’ll be doing fine. I figure, at least $5/game & $100 for the console, thats $320 + the various trade-in gimmicks that GS is currently running. I ain’t buying it, both literately AND figuratively.Īt least I can start to figure out how much sweet sweet store credit I’ll be getting for my collection. But we CAN sell you a bundle.” “Nah, but maybe we’ll have some in later January.” Ok, clearly this is bullshit that these jerks are spewing to push sales of the console bundles. I called 12 of them last night (Queens & Manhattan) and got a bunch of different answers including : “No.” “No, we don’t have them but we can sell you the $800 bundle” “No one has them and won’t have them until March. So it should surprise absolutely no one that his plan did not work out.

Luckily: Brainstorm! Why don’t I trade in my PS3 + my clutch of games (44 at last count) at Gamestop? I mean, that many games PLUS an original PS3? I’m pretty sure we all know that that equals brand new PS4, two controllers, a PS camera and a year of PSN, easy. Until yesterday, when it suddenly dawned on me that I did not have a Playstation 4. Clearly, I had to rectify this. But having just finished my first run through of Grand Theft Auto V and currently waist deep in spent shell casings over in CoD: Ghosts, there just hasn’t been a compelling reason to buy one. Confession time: I have yet to buy a Playstation 4.
