    in fact the only thing you need an account to do is actually add the game to your queue #gamefly

    That iPhone is becoming extremely useful, but I got NO ONE to talk to so it would be a waste of money.

    I'll just wait for a price drop on the iPhone or visit a train station for old ladies carrying iPhones in hopes none of them can manhandle me like last time. #gamefly

    Snapping pictures for monsters? Sounds cool. Wonder what monster unpaid cellphone bills will turn into? .

    Semi-related:Wish there was a current Monster Rancher. :D All those discs I have laying around would become some pretty awesome monsters. Tecmo, get on it. I want all my Blu-rays, DVDs, Nintendo Optical Discs, Audio CDs, AOL discs, software CDs, and discs bundled with text books to have a purpose again rather than just build up. #monsterfinder

    @Demonbird: They didn't "show" anything. As far as the public should know, nothing has been announced about the next handheld at all. Just because some websites picked up on a company looking into securing a new thing that will eventually be used in their stuff, that doesn't mean a new system is imminent.

    The stuff that WAS announced won't be itself announced for use until late next year. That has already been decided. #monsterfinder

    @Demonbird:

    I upgraded to the DSi from the DSPhat and it was a massive difference. I think my upgrade was well worth the value of the price tag, however that will vary from person to person. I do agree that there isn't much reason to upgrade from the DSLite unless you are intrigued by some of the DSi features for some reason. However, if you have the choice of the DSLite or DSi when upgrading from the original model I would recommend the DSi. #monsterfinder

    Even though youd think it should bring up red flags, you gotta remember. Its just regular people, and kids running the stores, not the corporate guys. They cant refuse a trade-in, as far as I know (unless physically damaged).

    My friend who works at a gamestop was getting kids who constantly brought in brand new, sealed DVDs that they would steal from a video store across the street. Theres nothing they can do about it.

    And on another note. There was a similar scuffle with a postwoman here in Oregon who was swiping gamefly/netflix stuff as well. I lost of my mailings to her once. #gamefly

    @Altima NEO: Pretty sure that knowingly purchasing stolen goods is a crime, and if they had reason to believe the DVDs were stolen, they could have simply called the cops.

    I'm also fairly confident that "I didn't want to go to jail" was a reasonable defense if they were going to fire them. But even if not, the party responsible for firing them would be breaking the law themselves, and would render GameStop financially liable in civil court. #gamefly

    I worked for DHL for years and people were always stealing stuff. Even the execs and higher ups. One guy that was allowed to drive his vehicle on the air base got busted for stealing Dell computers. He paid off some guards and would load the bed of his truck up with them. They raided his house and found like $150,000 dollars worth of computers that he was selling on ebay. #gamefly
