minus-squareLazyBane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoWhen I was young my brother wanted to trade in our crystal xbox for money towards an Elite 360. I made a stink about it because I didn’t want to upgrade at the time, and I even ended up setting it up in the attic to try and avoid having it sold. In the end Dad did end up trading it in… for 20p (good riddance to physical game shops). Ended up getting my own crystal xbox as an adult, and I did end up playing Halo 3 ODST’s multilayer disc religiously. Still, for 20p Dad?!
minus-squareRetrograde@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoFuck, 20p? My mum gave mine away when I was gone one summer and I was gutted. How much did you pay for a used crystal boy?
minus-squareArugulaZ@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoTwenty… pence? What is that, thirty cents in American money? You’d be lucky to get a piece of candy for that price these days. Yeah, Pops really got screwed on that sale. And so did you, by association.
minus-squareCircadian@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoI hear your pain. Game shops have always been rip offs with trade ins, and 20p? Can’t even get a chocolate bar with that…
