Easter?

Hm.

Today is Easter.

No big deal.


I got pretty pissed off at GameStop yesterday. I went in high hopes that I might have enough store credit built up to get the Orange Box again, but out of the 3 games I took there to trade in for store credit, they only took two. Half Life 2 had a small chip on the outside of the disc, which was the way I got it from gamestop, but they decided to be assholes and deny me my happiness.

As if that wasn't enough, I also had my spare Xbox 360 HDD in my jacket pocket, and asked the n00b of a clerk how much credit I could get for an Xbox 360 HDD. I added in that it was brand new, but apparently that doesn't matter? As he fumbled around on the computer, he mumbled "fiftee.." and trailed off at the end of the word. I said "fifty?" and he shot me down by saying, "No, fifteen."

15 dollars.


They were going to give me 15 dollars for something someone else will shell out 60 for!

That's ridiculous!


That's called a monopoly for all you kids at home.


I was pretty damn sure monopolies were illegal, but a friend corrected me.


Hmph.


Their loss.
