So fallout 3 has taken my life and pritty much most of my soul.
I know i shouldnt be suprised, every time ive seen, read or heard someone talking about fallout 3 it's been talking about how much time the game has taken from thier lives.
I suppose its going to be more a suprise about how late ive come to fallout.
I tend to leave game for a while. And end up just as addicted to them as everyone elce, just after everyone elce is long gone.
Same thing happened with smash bros, same thing will happen with batman, and the same thing has happened with fallout. It's mostly because im poor. I just cant afford to buy games new. Money is tight and theres no other way.
But this has left me with a larger collection of games then anyone elce i know. because i get , adore and look after what i have. Where people i work with buy right away, and then trade for the next big thing a couple of days later.
Ill let you all in the uk in on a cool tip i got from my friday. So I went to my local gamestation and was planning to but some ms points, to download the dlc for fallout 3. Instead i notice that the store has the 2 double packs of the first 4 dlc in its 2 for £20 deal. I notice also that these are 2nd hand.
Im then struck with a thought/question.
So I walk up to one of the guys in the store.
me: "Hi"
ginger store guy "hey"
M:"Can i just ask you a question out of wonder"
gsg:" sure"
m:" Uuuuummm , you know these downloadable content disks"
gsg:" yep"
m:" well, do you , you know , need the disks to play the content, or just the original fallout disk?" (i was thinking in responce to the upcoming gta4 addon disk that you can play without gta4)
gsg :"no , you just download off the disk"
m:"ok, so , umm , why are you selling them again??"
gsg:" huh... well, i dunno."
m:" Because its like, you know. odd."
gsg:" i hadnt really thought about it"
m:"because someone could just buy it and then just return it right away"
gsg: " yeah, i mean you could probably just bring it back as part of the 10 day thing and even get all your money back and get the add-ons for free"
so thats what i did.
I get home with the 2 discs and 4 dlc addons. and log onto my 360, and guess what. i get 800 free mspoints from microsoft for buying all the summer of arcade games.
then i took the disks back , traded them for the mspoints i was going to buy all along.
so i got all 5 of the dlc for fallout 3 for free, instead of £40.00+
So people, go out and get those two disks and trade em back quick..... and get yourself a couple of cool games with the money you traded em back in for. whooooooo.
i suppose this would only work if you had fallout 3... but still.
