As I casually mentioned before, my grandma got me three games I already had for Christmas (two of which she had already given me for my birthday), but gave me the receipts and sixty extra dollars to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, the one from GameStop--Dragon Quest IV, for the DS--had been unwrapped by somebody at some point, and as such I was privvy, for the first time, to their wallet-raping buyback rate: The guy was set to give me barely over two bucks for what was a $29.99 game (I know; I had the receipt to prove it). I seriously considered re-shrinkwrapping it and returning it, but I just as soon never enter a GS again (and I'll pass that info on to everyone I know). As for the two games that came from Best Buy--Scribblenauts and Mirror's Edge--I was able to return the former (the money just went back to my grandma's credit card, though), but the latter--even though I had what I'm pretty darn sure was the receipt for it (to confuse things even further, she had two receipts from the same store with the some of the same and some different items on each)--was supposedly not what was on the receipt (how they could figure that out, I don't know, and nor do I know just what the game was if it wasn't Mirror's Edge).
So, in summary, my grandma's getting a little slow, something weird is going on with Best Buy, and GameStop blows like a oscilliating fan in a tornado.
Also, I ate one of almost every free sample in Costco and I'm feeling pretty crappy now.
