So last week Tuesday I called up my usual store. Told them that I wanted to order Tekken6 for PS3. For ages they've been getting their stock on Thursday but as it turns out they've switched to Tuesday a few weeks back. I made this call on Tekken6's launch day so I figured I wasn't getting it till Wednesday the folllowing week. So I said Ok, gave them my phone number and and name and asked when I can expect the game. They told me what I thought. Wednesday as they will receive it Tuesday. So I wait a week. Went there today. What a surprise, "we're sorry. We'll be getting it next week."... I managed to scrap up 84$ including 58$ my mother owed me [she only gave me 50...]  and 16$ My mom's shop employee was nice enough to give me [She wuv's me ^_^] and walked into that store fulling prepared to lay 100USD on the table for game that should have been released in 2007.

Knowing the store's track record, I figured I wasn't gonna get it for weeks... sad part is my mother took a trip to the US this morning... I could have asked her to get it for me like I did wit Demon's Souls but I figured I'd get it earlier if I went with this store...

So I just sighed and said ok. Suddenly the woman at the counter has the balls to ask me if I wasn't interested in an NBA game... I've been a customer there for over 5 years. She knows damn well I don't play sports game. I look at their selection and I notice that 80% of it is sports, shooters, a few action games and a large amount of Street Fighter 4 and King of Fighters copies. It was official.... the store had been Bahamianized*.... 

I left and went to store number two. Nothing. Also Bahamianized... 10% of their stock were story driven games or games that most of us on the internet would consider interesting. The other 90%... Sports, shooters, 2d fighters.

[I find nothing wrong with any genre but I hate the fact that the stores hardly bother to diversify their stock... Their are a few exceptions. They know there are some games that they have to stick, simply because they know they will sell... like Mario, Pokemon and Final Fantasy.] 

So I'm pretty pissed and about to leave when I notice two game. Uncharted for 80$ and Uncharted2 for 90$. Two games that I've been planning to get and really want to play, but I only have 100$. I figured to take Uncharted from the situation since it's 30bucks US and I can get it later for much cheaper than 80 because of that. I call up my bro and tell him about the situation. Uncharted2 now, or Tekken6 (hopefully) next week. *looks at his computer monitor* Update 1.01 for Uncharted2 just finished installing. Time to play

Good work DGC.

Sometimes you gotta be open minded. The world isn't what you think it is. In person, everything looks good and nice because its all controlled and the people who control the world are evil people. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, its in your own interest to do some research and find out whats really going on.

This game looks like it was developed by Jesus and his 12 Apostles O_O'

EDIT: I still plan to get tekken6 btw. Seems that it just won't happen as early as I had hoped...

I would if import rates weren't so high. I'd be paying 120$ minimum per game...

I'm only buying a few games a year because I'm also broke.

Oh and yes, Tekken 6 really should have released in 2007.
