Ode to my favorite games retailer branch
Speaking of my favorite retailer DataBlitz, I’ve just found out from my local branch that today is their last day—meaning they’re selling old games at rock-bottom prices and that the branch would be closed for good starting tomorrow. I was almost tempted to show up with my credit card because of the dirt-cheap costs, but decided not to.
I was also advised to call a neighboring branch to reserve my copy of Gears of War for the PC because it seems that reservations are done on a per-branch basis. Once my favorite branch closes, I lose my reservation.
As a tribute, I’ve embedded a Gears of War video montage to the tune of the A-Team. You’ve probably watched it already, but I’m sure a retake would still elicit a smile. See the video after the jump.
You see, the SM Southmall branch is where I got majority of my games lineup, and I can’t help but grin at the nostalgia triggered by the song. With my branch closed, I have to drive all the way to the next mall just to get my copy of Gears.
Are you reading this, DataBlitz? I have to get off my lazy rear, drive half a kilometer away, and actually burn calories just to have a look at what’s latest! Looks like my couch potato days are over.
