Post by: Flames_of_chaos on February 03, 2009, 06:37:12 PM
Prepare to gouge your eyes out at some of the designs and prices (http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/gamingapp/default.aspx?affid=3000&WT.mc_id=020309nl)

40 BUCKS FOR A F****** T-SHIRT!
Not even Hot Topic sells them at THAT price.

YEAH! For that price i might as well buy a cheaply made, ugly, green hoodie with a gold foiled outline Triforce because colored foil is all the rage right now with scenesters (and appearantly gamers..)!
I don't know what makes me want to puke more... the $150 they're asking for that Bowser jacket, or the horrible design of said jacket...HIS FUCKING FACE IS CUT OFF!

Bowser is at least worth 3 times that price!

I do like the bob-bomb shirt it is really cute(though they don't seem to know his name) and the cartridge one.

i don't hate all the designs but really now its ridiculous. Buy a new game or buy a T-Shirt ? hmmmmmmm
I know gaming is doing well during this Depression, but no way people are going to pay those prices . They are going to have warehouses of this stuff that never sold, or going to need to drop price quickly.

IIRC, I saw some of those designs from a Japanese gaming apparel store. I don't think it was King of Games, but it something along those lines. That might explain the ridiculous prices...

Something's wrong when even *I* don't want to buy Nintendo stuff. ;)

Really good price for scene kids who nothing about nintendo, but still buy 1-up shirts because the look "stylish".

It's a sad commentary on their audience that the sizes go up to 4XL...
I don't know whats sadder, that, or when someone who can easily fit in a size L wears a 4XL instead because its fashionable. Good thing that "style" is pretty much dead, now everyone who fits into a L comfortably wear XS because its the new cool thing to do, not just emo kids! :-D

Sorry, way off topic. Those shirts are horrible and i dont care if they were half the price they're selling them for, or less, they're just plain ugly clothes!

I like how Nintendo shirts are 40 and WoW shirts are 10.

You can get the same-type stuff at Hot Topic (go ahead and act like you don't at least walk in there every now and then), for like $10.
I haven't even SEEN a Hot Topic in the better half of a decade.

Vudu's a lucky SOB.
To be a little more on topic though, I will mention that just a few days ago i was at a Gamestop looking for a used Gamecube and while waiting on line i mentioned the horrid clothing to my girlfriend and she noticed the clerks giving me a dirty look. Oh, and i was complaining about that fucking bowser jacket.. that thing pisses me off like you wouldn't believe.
