At my local game store they do the opposite of this with or without the game. Shop opened in 2009 in small income area. If gamestop closes they will be the only game store for 40 miles and final fantasy 13 used still sells for 29.99 usd to give you an idea of their pricing. But don't worry they pay what gamestop does to the penny....
@@clayton7577 This and a few stores in my town will actually act and charge worse than gamestop. The stigma needs to stop. Brick and mortar is still a business and acts exactly the same as gamestop.
@@clayton7577 Oh yeah, that kind of pricing is something I've seen as well. We don't have many game stores in my city, because everyone orders things online these days, and the ones that do exist tend to charge an arm and a leg for games. How about a 100€ (that's $111) Zelda: Skyward Sword (used)? A 50€ Secret Files 2 (used) for Wii? A digital copy of Anthem for PC for 113€? I just looked up those prices on their website, by the way, that's what they charge right now. I seriously have no idea how they even get away with charging so much
Pat's facial expressions throughout the video were an emotional rollercoaster. Did you see the sheer joy when they mentioned the remote controlled car?
The closest I can remember was a $1.00 bin but it was usually game boy plastic cases and NES sleeves. Maybe 3rd party carrying cases for Gameboy Advances
It was the *only* reason I bought a copy of the "balls of steel edition" when I saw it still sealed for like, 10 bucks at gamestop once. Honestly the rest of the pack was pretty cool, too, though. Duke still sits proudly on the shelf to this day, occasionally using his balls of steel to weigh down the lid of my dreamcast (I should really get that damn thing fixed).
I am very selective with what kind of special editions i get. Usually I don't buy ones with statues, for example. The only one I've ever bought is the SoulCalibur VI because Sophitia is my main. Mostly I get ones with things like artbooks or CDs, stuff I can put on a shelf and won't take up too much space.
All 2nd & Charles stores have a free bin. Found BFV last visit. Also ran into some folks trading a Nintendo collection in and was gifted a complete GameCube GameBoy player.
And to this day I still love my COLONIAL MARINES set Ian. Thank you for it. I like it more than the game lol. And Pat, thank you for that alternate RAD RACER manual, love the black and blue design. Come back to GAME ON!
Some anime figures might still be sought after like the ones from the Tales of collectors editions. Maybe also Kingdom Hearts ones. I can't think of anything else people really want.
I got a customer who is bad with money and sells collector edition stuff to us from time to time. He bitches about what I offer for them (which is way more than any pawn shop or other store in the area) and I'm just like why the hell would you buy it in the first place if you're bad with money. They sit around for months most of the time.
If Luna Games had collectors shit in the free bin, i would be stopping there daily and just checking for free shit. Eventually i would be a topic for tales from the game store
I have the joker statue. The car. And baterrang too =/ street fighter 5 statue. So in other words top money spend on all this which wasn't cheap. It's worth crap now. Thanks. That's why I keep it Nintendo. By the way pre order the yellow lite. What color did u pre order?
Ive only bought 2 CE BB. Mw3 (simply for that subscription thing they had) And the duke nukem cause i know im the only 1 but i fucking loved it! Still sits on my shelf next to my rainbow six prototype and my graded SE
Gaudy hunks of plastic, coins made of worthless metal and guides that are outdated on launch. Rarity and/or quality is what determines value in collectibles, the stuff you get in CEs is neither.
Dunno why he is saying guitar hero controllers, when the resurgence of the game via clonehero is causing them to cost $50-$100 each on ebay. (depending on controller of course)
I like aliens colonial marines for Pc, really, I really don'T know what the people have against that game, almost a 8 for me, excluding the final boss though.
Still waiting for "What would a Pat's Water Heater movie look like?".
Locally game stores don't have free bins, but they do often sell collector's editions with the game for less than just the game on its own...

tbh that Duke Nukem bust is pretty awesome. I'd love to snag one for a couple bucks.
What happened to frank? I miss him
Yeah, same here...
What happened to Bootsy? Instead we get these boring Rental Review turds...
Brian W Did he have issues with Mike?
@Brian W Where did bootsy take his talent? Cant find him online...
Poor Johnny English lol
Wow I wish the stores around here had free bins.
The only collector's edition thing I would get is steelbook.
yo Johnny English is great. Everyone that passed on it is a clown
Paul5200 Probably they only passed because it was on DVD. I would, DVD... nah
Id like to rummage through a free bin.
I like the little nick nacks that come with collector editions
Free bin? …...I've never seen a dame thing free at any game store I've ever been to
The closest I can remember was a $1.00 bin but it was usually game boy plastic cases and NES sleeves. Maybe 3rd party carrying cases for Gameboy Advances
Actually wouldn’t mind having the duke nukem forever bust

Already planing a visit to Luna Video Games store, so during my visit I'll be sure to check out the free bin.

5:14 Thought Pat was going to ask him to get him a "Caltron 6 in 1" Manual, lol

Any new "Tales from the game store"?
Persona 4 in a dollar bin? Dang dude
P4 for a dollar?
*Fuck. **_Yeah._*
I’d buy that for a dollar!!
But that's like a mcchicken. It isnt 3 and it isnt 5. Soooo.....
@@TheMccaleb19 - What are you trying to say? *Prepares hands to be caught*

Dont confuse gamers with wesboos, very different creatures

Still got my DNF Collectors box.
"that's Ross Perot in '92" :-D
Ian's ultimate regression: "Go to cupodcast/patreon.com, shut up and give us your money"
If Luna Games had collectors shit in the free bin, i would be stopping there daily and just checking for free shit. Eventually i would be a topic for tales from the game store
I have now accessed the patreon poll with CU podcast! GO GO GO!

Grey I had to go with grey
I'd swing by the store for free Fallout playing cards.
Does Ian work at a Gamestop or a locally owned Gamestore? ive never seen a "free bin".
But aren’t guitar hero controllers going for like 40 plus on eBay?
am i the only one that could see Ian as dictator of the world...
Any chance having a NES or SNES Marathon again on Twitch, I really enjoyed that!
I wouldn’t mind having one if those Aliens figures
Ive only bought 2 CE BB. Mw3 (simply for that subscription thing they had)
And the duke nukem cause i know im the only 1 but i fucking loved it! Still sits on my shelf next to my rainbow six prototype and my graded SE
That Gamestop accepting PS3/Wii/360 games question is never going to win.
Mike's the worst!
How much would it cost to buy the free bin? I dont want the stuff
Ian layin the pipe down
I have no interest getting the Collector's Editions used anyway the game is fine that's all I need.
This is exactly why i dont buy video game big boxed sets all i need is the game and maybe a poster.
Deus ex collectors edtion is around $20.

You cant say fuck in the first 1 to 3 minutes.

Give the free PC games to Metal Jesus or LGR.
Johnny English is funny wtf?
I like aliens colonial marines for Pc, really, I really don'T know what the people have against that game, almost a 8 for me, excluding the final boss though.
I played it. Could not get past the first level, I kept getting pushed into walls and getting stuck.
Almost an 8...? Jesus..
I like DB:Evolution but even I recognize absolute garbage..
@@TheMccaleb19 it worked very well on my pc and I had a great experience, not a die hard fan greatest number 1, but big fan and good game
and that is why you should never get collectors editions of any game
