I don’t talk about video games on here much because I deal with that enough in my day job. As some of you know I work in the games business and a game I was distantly involved with is due to the hit the shelves soon. I approached the local EB Games to see if it was in stock:

I think there’s a store in there!

The store is just wall to wall used games. Used games on all the walls. Used games behind the counter. Used games in giant piles in the middle of the store six foot high. I kind of just stood there, stunned at the sight of it all. The guy behind the counter asked me if I needed some help. I asked him if they sell any new games. He told me that used games offer me better value for money.

Funnily enough the guy didn’t have an answer for my next question about how, exactly, selling used games offers the people who actually make and publish these things a good deal.

*sigh*

The wife pointed out afterwards that it’s a bit hypocritical of me to complain about this when I’m such a used books junkie. Damn it!
