November 2014 hauls.
FritzWhite:
I recently purchased Tales of Vesperia for Xbox 360 used from Gamestop and realized it wasn't my kind of game less than 7 days after purchase. At the time I bought the game, I also renewed my Power Up Rewards card to take advantage of better pricing and a buy 2, get 1 free deal.
The game that I wanted to exchange happened to be the game that I received for free with the buy 2, get 1 deal, and while I can understand not refunding the full $ value of the game because of the deal, the Gamestop employee denied that I could even exchange it claiming that "You can't return it because you didn't pay for it since you got a deal." I asked him if I could exchange it for another item of equal or greater value and pay the difference and he insisted that I could not exchange or return the game because I "got it for free."
Luckily, Alex was there and quickly took over the sale and handled it professionally. He gave me credit for the Gamestop value of the game and applied it towards this Wii U Pro controller. Thank you Alex.

nice pickup. for some strange reason the wii u pro controller has become my favorite controller of this generation, even more so than the xbox one and dualshock 4 controller.

I may have to agree with you there. The Wii U Pro controller is unbelievably comfortable to me. I've always been a really big fan of the PS Dual Shock controllers (and I do like the Dual Shock 4 aside from the share and options buttons), but the more I use my Pro Controller the more I find myself liking it more and more. And while I've never really had anything against the Xbox controllers, I've always preferred to have my analog sticks symmetrical to each other.

That last part is completely true for me. I haven't used the Wii U pro controller yet, but I was a big fan of the classic controller for the original Wii.
For me, the basic design of the PS controller (once they added the analog sticks) has allways been the best designed controller in my opinion.

I'd pick one up if I were you. Like BadChad was saying it is incredibly comfortable and ergonomic. It just melts in your hand when you are holding it. And the analog stick placement is exactly where your thumbs naturally rest when you hold it, making it ideal for fps and fast twitch games. Plus the battery life on it is amazing. I can go weeks without charging it.
