January 2013 pickups

[Superchop]

Yeah, on the plastic I use goo gone then I just wash it off and/or wipe it with one of those moist lense cloths.  But with the paper boxes I know that using goo gone will "stain" and there will always be an oily patch on it.

I read through the guide when you first posted it on here but I never thought of using that method on cardboard lol.  I managed to get almost all of it off by simply rubbing it off with my thumb but I'll have to try that bestine to see if it'll finish it off.

Found my first NES game with a Famiciom adapter inside - Pinball.  Paid $6.95 for it at Game Exchange.  I spotted it pretty easily after doing some research on the net.

I picked up Super Mario 3D Land for $2 with no manual

There is no manual I think, just quick start card.

[JDavis]

There is an "Instruction Booklet", but it's not really a manual, just a fold-out thing with "Here's the controls! Here's Mario's Moves! Here's a bunch of legal nonsense! For more information, see the built-in instruction manual!"

[palmer6strings]

Which is pretty lame that a lot of game companies are going to that or in game manuals only. I miss my manuals...

[AO007]

Yeah, first-party published 3DS games come with a pamphlet|(usually) to both serve as a complement to the digital manual and to fufill the needs of those who need a physical manual. Nintendo knows how to do next-gen better than everyone else, ironically.

That said, Wii-U manuals are more substantial while still retaining digital versions of the manuals. Even the physical Wii-U manuals come in three languages, and are often about 3-4 pages per language, which comes out to a 10+ page manual.

Snagged these from my local GS. Had them shipped over from another not so local GS that i wish to badmouth very much.

 I had a $25 gift card and a 20% off coupon for birthday, and it apparently was B2G1 Free on PS2. Total out of pocket = $14

Super jelly of that Mario 3D land score. Where did you find that deal, err steal?

Jealous D: I've been trying to get them from GS for a while now, since they're the only place I've seen that doesn't price them at a bazillion dollars a piece >:l
Someone tends to snag them before I can put it in my cart though >:l (and there aren't any local GS here, so I have to do it online DX)

[redsox2012]

Picked these up at Game Exchange today for $41 total.

Ya, like I said, the store i requested them from can suck it. I called to verify stock and they said they just sold. No biggie, shit happens, I just wasn't quick enough.

 I checked again the next day for what GameStops might have them....to my surprise it still said that particular store had all 3....I did the online hold and they held them for me. Had my local call them and have them sent. Gilford NH GameStop can burst into flames for all I care.

Please explain!

[Mick Dundee]

Please explain!

That GameStop is the one that blatantly lied to me or didn't want to be bothered to see if something was in stock. Epping GameStop is my local, and since becoming friends with the Manager and Assistant Manager it is my favorite too.
