That's right boys and boyettes - I took a l;eisurely stroll to Gamestation on my lunch break to return a PC game, asked the guy at the counter if they were selling them. "No, sorry." he replied.

Oh, well, worth a try. Then I mentioned that Comet were doing them for a tenner.

(silence)

*Guy's workmate has a whispey natter with him*

Next thing I know, he slides the box over the counter, nothing said.

So. I now have a 'Zelda Collectors Edition promotional disc' sat in front of me, with Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2, OoT and Majoras Mask (I could have swore there were five games mentioned somewhere. Oh well).

Result!

Nope, they didn't even check. Neither did I for that matter!

Nah, these guys know their stuff. They're sorted and they didn't really give a toss about giving the game to me. The other one (who wasn't serving me) said they have too many Zelda discs anyway - twice as many as their GC stock.


> ...Makes me wonder how on Earth they get their jobs!!

Who cares as long as they're this generous!

Heh. You should've tried for something more - like a full-priced game! ;D

Idiots. Complete idiots.


We always knew games-retailers' staff knew naff-all about games, but know this proves there are some that know little about retail, also!

Hope it works for you! It's the second Gamestation store where the staff are really sorted with me. Must be my charm...

I even offered to give him a tenner for it but he refused. I wasn't going to complain!

Oh, and it's got a playable demo of Wind Waker on (maybe that's the 'fifth' game?).

But I've already got that.
