Matty: "$500! This is probably the highest I'll ever go!" Next video: "I bought a tent and I now live in the woods...but I spent $1500 on games at Gamestop for you!"
Lord almighty Matty has sacrificed himself to bring us joy once again. May your wallet rest in peace, and may the gamestop roulette be ever in your favor
Man, I laughed so hard at the Sega Superstar Tennis reveal, I feel for ya Matty, and hopefully you get your money back on that one. Hopefully you can keep SST it is legit a great fun game.
I always thought Mario Battle Revolution was such a fun game. So many memories with my brother linking our DS handhelds to the Wii and using our teams.
FYI; The only games that shipped from a warehouse to you are the N64 games. The rest came from different stores. Employees are generally required to peel the price stickers off of games they’re shipping in case it’s a gift for someone. If the price stickers are still on there, they aren’t doing their job right. Also, the receipt for the first order should be attached to the shipping label on the front of the envelope Unfortunately, because the games get shipped from the stores, there are employees that don’t care about what they’re shipping out and won’t check 100% or even try to make sure that somebody gets a good product, plus shipping stuff out is currently a very big deal and stores get in trouble if they don’t send an order so some staff would rather ship out bad product than get dinged. Probably why Doom and “Halo” showed up like they did. And the “Halo” was probably a trade in that a new employee (or one that didn’t care) just didn’t look out when they took it in, and then it never got moved out of inventory like it should’ve. Doom will most likely work on your Xbox one if you’ve got one, because it only acts as a license and just downloads the game. DS & 3DS games almost never get traded in with the cases, because for some reason, people throw them away. alternatively people keep the cases when they trade in the games and then resell just the cases online. I’ve seen people do that. Because of that, You are almost never going to get an actual case for DS games. I’d say one out of 10 at best. Trust me, I’ve tried. And Just Return Pearl; average for a complete copy on eBay is $60. Get it there. Also, the contacts on the Sonic Rush are corroding. Reorder it. Hunter the Reckoning and Pokémon (Mario lol) battle Revolution are refurbished discs, I would honestly return and re-order at least PBR, Hunter is unlikely to come any other way. The gunk in the middle is the glue separating and the solution they use getting in between the cracks from being overdone on a disk resurfacing machine. The writing on the back was most definitely some kid using that case art for their copy of GTA5. I’ve seen that before too. The big black sticker is covering up a sticker that says defective because the game got sold to them non-functional, and they sent it to get refurbished. And The warehouse doesn’t bother removing stickers, it’s up to the store that receives and ships it to care. Revelations 2 was a former Redbox rental disc. That’s what the sticker in the center is. Those stickers are evil. That’ll Someone rented that, never brought it back to Redbox, and sold it to GameStop. Never had a case. My final note for you is a bit of advice you hopefully may have already taken: Honestly just take every problem game to your local store and if they don’t fix it up for you, go to a further one. Someone will be happy to help and be angry for/alongside you. But I wouldn’t bother calling support yourself.
I always look forward to these! Thanks for your sacrifice. I like us always having gamestop to come back to, but would be cool to see more local gamestore stuff as well.
Love this series, you might want to double check that Pearl cart! I went through two rounds of returns for that game and kept getting repo carts. I ended up just asking for refund and told them please don't put these back into the inventory to sell to the next person, lol.
This definitely had it in the first half went from happy maybe even excited to down right mortified by the second half 😂😅. Great video very entertaining and awesome editing
All of my physical collection ends around 2010 as being a PC gamer, everything moved to the digital at that time. Now looking at the busted discs, boxes, labels, i catch myself thinking that maybe it was for the best
I use to work at game stop (nearly a decade ago) and their "we'll buy anything" approach is what leads to those Halo cases floating out there when they should be replaced.
The reason why the inside of the cover art of a copy of Pokémon Battle Revolution for the Wii had “GTA Five PS4” written on it is the funniest and weirdest mystery I know I’ll never get an answer to.
The vibes are so casual and fun on this side of the Matty realm and im all for it, keep it up Matty, youre really doing a great job and im digging you spending money on us! Wish you and the future wife all the best in your house hunting :)
On a side note, have been watching this channel for a bit, and then randomly get into Defining Dukes and was like man, this voice sounds so familiar for some reason. Glad to finally put the connection together in my dumb brain lol.
I was a defender of Gamestop. It has been years since I have gone there. I renewed my Gameinformer subscription and two years in a row they took my money and did not send the magazines. Gamestop is trash and no one should shop there. Get yourself a Microsoft Store or Playstation Store card and buy some digital games. The deals are absolutely crazy. Or, just buy from somewhere else if you are looking for physical games.
You got the version of Spyro Reignited that doesn't contain all of the games on the disc. Any new copy would include all of the games, but any game printed 2018-early 2019 will say "Download Required".
I was checking out GameStop, GameXchange, Walmart and Target today and all of them are selling games at such high prices. So many games are being sold for their ORIGINAL prices even some a year old! GXC had lots of Zelda Breath of the Wild (no art and really busted cases for $50!) I bought a new copy of Zelda Breath of the Wild for BestBuy for $40 2 months ago.
UA-camrs throwing this kind of money on these horrible gaming companies known for literally scamming ppl is pretty entertaining, but it's also a big reason why they're still alive
Bet those n64 games won’t even work fr… I kept trying with them before and it got worse and worse buying retro games with them before. What really got me was a shadow of the empire that had ghost save files that would appear here and there
As a GameStop employee, it pains me to see the game still in the PO yellow disc folder in the case instead of just putting it in the case like normal, or the lack of a receipt or game case for some of these packages lol As for the Reach case, man idk what people do to their cases at home but shit gets real nasty at times and I either tell them we can't take it or if the game itself is in good condition, I throw away the case. I've seen all kinds of different colored mystery gunk in game cases :( As for any games that come in a case w/o the original cover art, that's bc the person who traded it in didn't bring the og case w them so we have to make those Pre-Owned cover art sheets (I wish they looked better tho) Easiest job I've ever had but man the corporate side of GameStop gets to me sometimes, same goes w the receipts for online orders not having the price like why?? Love your content btw I enjoy watching your channels while I procrastinate on studying :) Side note it's funny you mentioned Diddy Kong Racing for N64 bc in all my time working here that's the only N64 game I've seen in any of my stores and I was the one working when the customer came to sell it
Forgot to mention: Spyro 3 was my childhood game on my PS2, never beat it as a kid so when I got the Reignited trilogy on my Series X I went ham and 100% it. Honestly try it out it's an amazing trilogy :)
That stuff you see on a lot of the games in the center of the disc where the disc is held in the case is from the fluid/solution used when resurfacing discs.
not sure if anyone else mentioned, but they sometimes put the receipt with the shipping papers that are taped up in front of the package. Its hidden behind those papers.
I'm not going to ask you to get physical copies of them for a video because they're probably super expensive, but I implore you to play the Spyro trilogy on PS3 through the classics line up. They're a far better version of the game than the remaster IMO.
Matty: "$500! This is probably the highest I'll ever go!"
Next video: "I bought a tent and I now live in the woods...but I spent $1500 on games at Gamestop for you!"
Matty is single-handedly keeping GameStop from slipping into bankruptcy.
@Dot Com he don't return it he keeps it yo
Oh no, here comes r/wallstreetbets
Have you seen gamestop lately?
WAS MOUTH AND VID SYNC OFF FOR ANYONE ELSE?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@TheSpeedfoever he literally said he returns stuff in the video
The Halo Reach anime arch was amazing, the ending was a work of art
Lord almighty Matty has sacrificed himself to bring us joy once again.
May your wallet rest in peace, and may the gamestop roulette be ever in your favor

Had me laughing throughout the entire video! $75 for a cartridge 😂

He keeps doing it! He can't be stopped! I feel for you every episode 😂
Just one more pull and he'll hit the jackpot!
This definitely had it in the first half went from happy maybe even excited to down right mortified by the second half 😂😅. Great video very entertaining and awesome editing
This is a great series, this video was a roller coaster ride
LMFAOOO SONICS STUPID FACE STARING AT YOU IN A HALO REACH CASE KILLED ME
All of my physical collection ends around 2010 as being a PC gamer, everything moved to the digital at that time. Now looking at the busted discs, boxes, labels, i catch myself thinking that maybe it was for the best
Gamestop is the only ones doing that
As a former gamestop store manager these came from stores, not a warehouse, and your receipts are digital. those are just packing slips.
“Man juice check” is the funniest shit I’ve heard all day 😂
I use to work at game stop (nearly a decade ago) and their "we'll buy anything" approach is what leads to those Halo cases floating out there when they should be replaced.
I never thought that man juice would be something to look out for with games.
Side note: A Mario Battle Revolution would be pretty sick
The reason why the inside of the cover art of a copy of Pokémon Battle Revolution for the Wii had “GTA Five PS4” written on it is the funniest and weirdest mystery I know I’ll never get an answer to.
The vibes are so casual and fun on this side of the Matty realm and im all for it, keep it up Matty, youre really doing a great job and im digging you spending money on us! Wish you and the future wife all the best in your house hunting :)
You really ask for way too much, you think most people held on to their cases with retro games? LOL
Seeing “36 seconds ago” next to this in my recommended was a trip. Always love these can’t wait for 1k in the future lol.
6:34 FIVE BUCKS?! A 1ST XBOX GAME?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mario Battle Revolution lol Matty that was funny. 23:34
The Peanuts music wit Matty saying "at least there no man juice on it" was too much for me this morning.
On a side note, have been watching this channel for a bit, and then randomly get into Defining Dukes and was like man, this voice sounds so familiar for some reason. Glad to finally put the connection together in my dumb brain lol.
Someone had their bowl from 2011 last used on 420 over a decade ago on that Halo case scraping resin.
I love this series, matty and lockmort made for each other with some of these edits Hahaha, we love man juice
Game Stop ain't going no where. Hope Those Shorts Covered but they didn't lolz.
Matty wildin with calling it man juice lmao💀
LMAOOOO the sonic tennis disc in the grimey halo reach case
The Burdick that owned that Mario Golf died and his family sold his video games
if that pile of games is worth $500 my collection is worth a million dollars
3:16 My boy and Wallstreet bets are the only two keeping gamestop above water. Mad respect.
The employees are trying to send you riddles to free them 🤣🤣
you’ve earned yourself a new sub, with notis on 🔥💯
Me laughing because I never sold my N64 or games or gamecube or Wii lol
The $75 for just the game hurt my soul. Great video buddy, sucks that it ended so horribly after that great start

Cant stope, wont stop, game stop
Halo Reach...ing for the ash tray, mission failed.
Who ever accepted the Halo Reach trade in needs to be fired not only did it look like it been used as a ash tray it had the wrong damn disc
Use electrical contact cleaner to easily get rid of stickiness on games. It will instantly dissolve without ruining any labels.
18:00 doesn't green mean water corrosion
You got the version of Spyro Reignited that doesn't contain all of the games on the disc. Any new copy would include all of the games, but any game printed 2018-early 2019 will say "Download Required".
Matty worked so hard to clean the reach case just for it to have Sega tennis 😂😂
19:36 This should have been cleaned by some employee at GameStop, the customer should not be the one cleaning the product!
@@Lunar_MirageHmmmm also true or accapt but then throw it away, replace the case keep the slip cover artwork (and with this you restored the game).
Honestly I feel like buying this on eBay used would have given better results for the exact same price tbh

RIP Burdick.
Bro is OBSESSED with "man juice". Just saying
Oh baby!
I’ve been picking my scabs in the corner.
Gimmie my fix!
Surprising lack of man-juice in this one, thank god for Matty's sake haha
LMFAOOOOOOO. I knew hell was coming later on. At least you got a few dubs Matty😭
Let’s Goooo My Favorite Series ❤ is Back Baby
How do u buy this stuff whenever i decide to go on GameStop they have nothing but junk new items.
"its really hard to mess nintendo cartridges up"
so much so i'm convinced the military actually uses them for tank armor on the down low 😂
That’s sad Charlie Brown Christmas music though lmao
Matty is an expert at identifying MAN JUICE
You gotta play Spyro whaaa the og trilogy is like one of my favorite childhood games haha
Great video massive inspiration to us smaller creators 👍👍
No man-juice? 😂 none??
Hunter the reckoning was my first couch coop game that I actually played with friends. Played on GameCube though
MATTY got rinsed on that Pearl Catridge. I laughed so hard 😂
Bet those n64 games won’t even work fr… I kept trying with them before and it got worse and worse buying retro games with them before. What really got me was a shadow of the empire that had ghost save files that would appear here and there
It started such a happy video 😂 I felt for you on the 74.99 ouch
Bro if that pearl was complete, it woulda been over $200
That halo reach case was somebody weeds rolling tray I fuck with them Pokémon earrings and damn this is why I emulate 😂
Ahhhh yes Matty thank you! ❤
I’d love this kinda video to spread to UK content creators at some point! So fun
Mmmm i don’t think CEX is as bad as this 😂
-buys halo reach
- gets Sega Superstars tennis instead
They're definitely trolling you now
There were some high highs and some low lows lol
As a GameStop employee, it pains me to see the game still in the PO yellow disc folder in the case instead of just putting it in the case like normal, or the lack of a receipt or game case for some of these packages lol

I miss the old gamestop casses with the random guys on the cover
According to my gf they don’t include the receipts in the package, they email it to you. This UA-camr doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Smh worst $500 spent… GameStop should’ve included a container 🫙 of Vaseline with your order…
Absolutely love this series Matty! Keep it up. I love watching you get ripped off for my viewing pleasure!
That stuff you see on a lot of the games in the center of the disc where the disc is held in the case is from the fluid/solution used when resurfacing discs.
Hot Take. I love the PS3 Red Cases. Probably because Red is by favorite color.
not sure if anyone else mentioned, but they sometimes put the receipt with the shipping papers that are taped up in front of the package. Its hidden behind those papers.
This series i always an absolute blast, thanks for keeping it going Matty (i don't know how GameStop get away with this nonsense) :'D
Curious how many times Matty will run into the Patented "Game Stop Man Juice".
my fav part of the part where he goes man juice chekers
Dude yes! Get that house! Paying off a mortgage is a great investment my man. Full support on that one 🤙
Bro literally said Ratchet fell off while holding A Crack in Time. I understand every game after was trash, but not ACiT.
Man juice lmao I’m dead!!
Matty Matty, you got a totally free GTA5 for PS4, and you didn't even count it as a win :(
I'm not going to ask you to get physical copies of them for a video because they're probably super expensive, but I implore you to play the Spyro trilogy on PS3 through the classics line up. They're a far better version of the game than the remaster IMO.
My fav series ❤️
You’re going to have to start using surgeons gloves for these unboxings 😂
Buying online is a gamble with anything
Gamestop: You will get better odds in Vegas!!
😂 🤣
I really want to complete my greatest hits of xbox 360 but that is so many games.
I love this series!!! Please keep ‘em coming!!!!
It’s all fun and games until a GameStop sale happens and Matt spends his entire life savings
I expect nothing less from Jacksonville Zillow
Doesn’t that Spyro Trilogy only have 1 game actually on the disc?
Depends, the release version only had one but they did a revised version which came with all 3 on disc. Problem is, is its difficult to tell.
@@logiclunacy606 oh ok, thanks for the info
Did you ever get around to playing Ao no Kiseki?
I’m amazed you’ve never played Spyro
another Gamestop in Matty fashion with the iconic intro. and Man juice haha!
