Ahh yes, I almost forgot to mention my Black Friday experience. Woke up around 5ish in the morning (damn near slept in). Drove to the nearest GameStop. By the time I got there, there was like 20ish ppl in line. I already knew I missed out on the Xbox Series X, but fuck it, there were few a games I had my
on anyways.
Approaching the entrance, one of the scalpers (fuck him) tried offering me his ticket for $750, tryna tell me that this was the best deal and all of that other bullshit. I said "No thanks, I'm good." I didn't even want to look at him, he disgusted me that much. Either way, I talk with the others who managed to get the console. 10 mins later? Here comes this kid with his mom. Scalper does the same thing to him. Now mind you, I can't hear the rest of the convo between them. Needless to say, he ends up getting the ticket from the scalper.
Only 15 ppl are allowed in the store at the time and your boy was lucky number 15. The kid was looking for COD: Cold War so I helped him out since I wasn't planning on getting the game at this time. I asked him how much he paid and he told me $950. Poor kid didn't realize that was just for the ticket itself. Homeboy froze up and got shook when the employee told him. He ended up going back to his house (about 10 mins away) to get the additional money to pay for the Xbox. All in all, he ended up paying $1450 approx.
Now don't get me wrong, I too would like to get an Xbox Series X. I ain't paying more than retail price for it though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there aren't ANY Xbox games that are completely exclusive to the Series X. It's just not worth it IMO. But I guess it was for the kid since he said he broke both of his Xbox Ones.
