I guess it'd be worth it? Get the card, get the game, and then cut up the card.

Yeah, although I was just informed that it effects your credit to get cancelled or never use a line of credit. So I may need to hold onto it and make a small purchase now and then. Still don't get why they're sending me a physical card, you can only buy stuff on Amazon with it.

If it's backed by Visa like most Amazon store cards you can use it anywhere.  Even if not, you can probably use it at physical Amazon locations or even Whole Foods Market.

That said, I don't believe not utilizing a credit card negatively impacts your credit score.  If the store closes the card on you for non-use, then sure.

I think my copy of D&D Dark Alliance holds the record of the most price-sticker revised game in the history of the company. I feel like this is something Scott The Woz would appreciate. When I took the sticker off, it felt like a book. So I took the time to peel back all the layers of sticker, and found they've changed the price a few times.

In order from first price, to current price for a "NEW" copy: 39.99, 29.99, 39.99, 29.99, SALE 19.99, 29.99, 26.99, 22.99, SALE 16.99, 22.99, 14.99, 29.99. This game just released in the summer of 2021... do they just have a like a monkey somewhere in a room throwing darts a price-point board? I had them price match the website, which by the way they'll also price match Walmart, Target, and Best Buy now.

Crushed like a pancake yo! I believe sellers are responsible for uninsured packages, but this just hurts to look at no matter the game personally... This was a sealed, new copy. I believe the package has come kind of tread on it, either a tire or a shoe.

Double post.

[Warmsignal]

Triple post. Wow.

[telly]

Looks like that game fell to Earth pretty hard! 

[kashell]

Good Hell! Was there an elephant stampede while it was en route?

[sworddude]

Package must have been crushed by a car

So the world's first third-party game developer is no longer a third-party game developer. Microsoft buys Activision/Blizzard:

Woah, no COD on PlayStation? That's gonna be something.

[kashell]

Ha! That article title.

Woah, no COD on PlayStation? That's gonna be something.

it's probably still going to be on playstation but behind the scenes sony will most likely have to pay a hefty fee to get it or a large chunk of them profits.

My guess anyway. Sony is under fire this generation I'll say that much.

If the Bethesda buyout is any indicator, then they will still fulfill any contracts/deals already on the table. And any ongoing subscription based games will be supported. Then after those are fulfilled, the rest will be exclusives.
