So I got off work today and went to buy Final Fantasy: Crisis Core. The Gamestop near my house was sold out, so I called around to various stores. Finally, I found a Gamestop that had ONE copy left, and they told me they couldn't hold it for me. So I went a little out of my way to get it, no big deal. I get there, and the clerk hands me an open copy, saying I'm getting the "display" copy. He opens it up briefly, shows me the instruction manual is in good shape, etc. I get home, excited to play, and find out the clerk gave me Final Fantasy Tactics. :| And the store had closed. Why can't getting a good game be easy? ;)

That really does suck. I once got home after buying some new and used games there, only to find the used cases were all empty. But, ive also bought a used Xbox and PS2 there before and both systems had a game in it. :)

That's weird. You'd think they'd check the system before selling it.

Wow. That would suck. I would go back the next day and ask to get the copy of the game you wanted.

The game case is for Crisis Core. Only the disc, which I looked at briefly in the store is FFT: Lions. But the most noticeable part of "Final Fantasy".

I would've pre-ordered it, but I didn't have a PSP until yesterday....

Update: Went back and got the game. This time, a sealed copy (guess they got some more in today). Can't wait to play it!

Too bad they didn't reimburse me more than a "sorry" for my troubles, but hey... I got the game, and that's what matters.

That does suck dude. But take it from me, next time you should reserve it like I did, and I was guaranteed a copy. I did the same thing when I got God of war chains of olympus, I reserved it. It only asks for a minimum of 5 bucks. :)
