Last thread was comfy but I only lurked in it, so I'll make one more. Don't expect this to become a general.

What's your experience with CeX? I don't know what it's like in the UK, but in Australia it's a mixed bag. Software is surprisingly cheap and you can get some pretty desirable games in the $20-50 price range. However, you can just as easily end up with a heavily scratched up disc.

As for hardware, only buy from CeX as a last resort: their controllers are mushy, drifty, brittle, and several buttons may not work. They don't properly test their stuff and their return policy is absolute garbage too because they only refund you with store credit (which is illegal here, lol). Consoles are also ridiculously expensive at CeX; do not buy.

Their inventory infrastructure is kinda bad too since I made a pickup order online, but once I got to the actual store they didn't have the component cables I wanted. I guess God is telling me that composite is the one true path, and I'm inclined to agree.

To be honest, I made this thread solely to vocalise how much I want to bang the goth chick working at my local CeX. Can a dashing young zoomer lad like me woo this washed up millennial and give her an escape from the harrowing realisation she peaked in 2008?
