Is Cex just UK Gamestop/EB Games?

Cex is closed on Sundays in my country

>>717741235 (OP)
i bought ffx out of here for a pound when i was 12. just think about that for a minute. finl fantasy x for one pound. awesome shop

tfw no Cex where I live

>>717742408
One pound of what?

>>717742061
CEX sells used games only.

>>717742061
No that was GAME, this is just purely used games, dvds, electronics etc if you guys have something like that

>>717741235 (OP)
Have CEX incel

>>717742408
lol nowadays they just go on eBay and see how much it sells for there before slapping a price on it. Pointless shop. Unless you want FIFA 07 for the PS2.

>>717742007
need a wife like her

>>717742772
>her
anon, I...

>>717742772
She has tattoos. Red flag.

>>717742813

>>717742817
i don't mind tattoos

>>717742007
>>717742817
Don't care I'd fix her

>>717742761
Some times you can get a gem like i got drakengard for like 2 quid but yeah most prices are insane or way too close to new price like one i sometimes pass has pathfinder books in the window like 3 quid cheaper than just buying a new one on amazon.

I miss GameStation. Now that was a vidya store. Or maybe I just miss the days when it happened to exist.

>>717742007
I know which shop that is. I've never seen that clerk there, she must be new, I've not been in for a while

>>717742867
The cex owner in Motherwell lets you haggle on prices. So there's that I guess.

>>717742904
GameStation was pretty cool.
I would go there all the time when I could.

>>717742904
I miss when game was still Electronics Boutique.

>>717743084

And before that, there was Future Zone
God I am fuckin ancient

I am owed CEX from smelly goth autists

>>717742951
if i have the misfortune of getting on the wrong train ill keep this in mind

>it's been 6 months since the lockdowns started... finally after all this time the local Cex in Barnsley can be opened up. The manager arrived at the doors, cobwebs cover the key slot, the manager cracks open the door and instantly toxic green stench releases into the street. Passers-by start dropping dead instantly, the green mist spreading further and further down the street

>>717743258
based

my parents made me sell all my old gamecube games there when i was 13 for like £30 and it brings me great pain whenever i remember it

>>717742904
Two good memories from Gamestation
Picking up Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and MGS3 on a 2 for £15 deal, not having any familiarity with either franchise as a kid, was in gaming nirvana for a month after that
Also I remember going to buy Mass Effect 1 on PC and the guy at the till gave me KOTOR for £1, saying it was way better. Kino shop kino atmosphere. Even the aesthetic felt cool

>>717743543
based junkie parents using you for another hit of smack

>>717742007

>gets raped by alhumdilelas

>>717743623
The aesthetic was kino. Everything just looked better in the 2000s.

>>717744028
My first time eating pussy was in the back of a gamestation. Cheeky banter with a chubby girl who worked with me the night of the Halo 3 release lead to me munching her box and then fucking her. It happened around 3am in the morning. I think we were both just stressed out after the launch night and was glad it was over. Went for pizza afterwards and snuck her into my house for cuddles and anime. She called her mom after I made her a bacon sandwich and my dad called me the pork lord and spam pounder for about a week. I miss the 00s.

>>717741235 (OP)
How come litarally ever cex shop has a token alt/goth girl?

>>717744809
i bet it stunk in the back room for the day shift

>>717744883
They tried the bitchy radfem models in a few stores. Didn't test well.

>>717744883
they are highly competitive job roles

Its either cex or cash converters, I'd rather have cex

>>717742007
there is no fucking way you guys actually think that's attractive

>>717744910
We did not clean up. at all. After we were done she hiked her stockings back up, I zipped up my jeans and then it was straight over to Caspian pizza for a meat feast and a fumble in the taxi back to my place. Pretty sure I came on a box of PS2 or Xbox Returns.

>>717745029
a 5 on the streets is a 9 in Cex

>>717744809
great story please go cut your wrists open and never post here again you normalfaggot cunt

>>717742904
Gamestation was where all the cool neckbeards who actually knew their shit worked. They used to do dual packs of loose N64 games and the cashier asked me if I had the expansion pak before buying one with Perfect Dark, when he found out I didn't he let me swap it with another game in a different pack. GAME couldn't ever compete, they were only decent for new releases sometimes and they constantly tried to upsell.

CEX has started spreading in Australia too. More likely to find something I want but you can tell they're constantly on eBay looking at the highest sell price. Very handy for hardware though ever.
Wonder how long it'll last considering they tried Game here for a while but it didn't work out. It's been enough to scare EB into selling retro games at least

>>717744028
>>717744883
I remember going to Game Station a few days after the Christmas I got my Xbox 360 to buy Oblivion, Fable II and Halo 3 with my Christmas money. I remember having a crush on the hot scene/goth/emo girl that served me.
We're never going back.

>>717744809
>worked in gamestation
>uses mom
Huh?

I know it's a meme that CEX usually stinks but after having worked in one for a while it was the customers that stank. We actually had to have a bottle of Febreze on standby at the till after some cunts walked off when their stench would literally hang in the air where they'd been standing

>>717745363
He's repurposing a classic Gamestop fuck story. Recognised it even before the "mom"

>>717745419
what kind of stench?

>bought a PS3 game here recently
>the transparent case was starting to yellow, assumed it was left in the sun or something
>give it a wipe down
>yellowing comes off

>>717745487
B.O, cum, poo, piss and dust I would say

>>717745430
Ah, alright then.

>>717745554
I wonder what percentage of Cex's customer base are people that stink

>use controllers and hardware until they start showing signs of dying
>repair if reasonable
>and finally sell them to cex instead of trashing them
Thats the only "story" I have. They do always check shit first but im guessing they just hook things up and see it if turns on. Always keep your receipts.

>>717745363
>>717745430
Brummies say mom. Also there is no other gamestop fuck story to my knowledge. Stop being a cunt.
>>717745265

cut your throat open faggot
nobody wants you here, you do not belong here
a failed normie is still a normie, go rot somewhere else cunt

Right lads I am popping out to Gregg's for a slice of pizza to eat while I play Lies of P, what do you want bringing back and what are you playing?

>>717745419
Mate. You used to see some proper porkers come in with a stack of games to trade. I'd say "You sure? You must've spent about £200 on all of this and I can only give you £45 or £55 shop credit" and you'd be surprised how many of them replied "It's alright mate, dont care." my favourite was "Mom bought them, dont care."

>>717745829
wewlad. Someones upset they didn't get a good hard shag as a teenager. Were you one of the fatties who did nothing else but play video games and wonder why nobody kicked your door down and greased your pole?

Touch grass mate.

>>717745909
get me a sauasgeroll, im about to fire up some tf2

>>717741235 (OP)
Wow! Nothing I want more than to buy a game with a fucking huge sticker on the case that wont peel off without leaving a thick layer of goop, thanks CEX!!!

>>717745940
Cash right then and there vs Having to list that shit on eBay and sell them, seek out buyers on Gumtree or whatever. I always check and if it's maybe a few dollars off I'll just trade them.

>>717745909
Popped into Greggs for 2 sausage rolls on my lunch break yesterday, shit was good

>>717745909

Dinosaur Pasty for me, cheers

>>717745909
Nice! Grab me a steak bake and a sausage roll. skipped breakfast so I'm marvin. gonna play me some cs 1.6, ta lad x

>>717745993
kill yourself you retarded cunt
draw a hot bath, get in, and cut your wrists open
boil a pot of water and pour it down your throat
blend cleaning chemicals in with your next bowl of cereal
fucking normalfag

>>717746219
wewlad. Someones upset they got a good hard shag from uncle badtouch as a teenager. Were you one of the fatties that hid in their room when daddy got out his no no juice hoping nobody kicks your door down and greases up your hole?
Touch ass mate.

>>717746219
Seeing as it upsets you. let me recount that night
>Customers had all fucked off
>We put the shutters down, locked the doors etc.
>I vacuumed whilst I restocked and took the rubbish out
>I did the cashing out on the till whilst we made small talk
>She was wearing a tartan skirt with stockings, pink converse and a black V neck corset type top. Red and green hair, mascara.
>She was leaning over the counter and I could see right down her top
>She caught me looking and smiled
>I winked at her and told her she looked great in that top and that lead to a bit of flirty complements
>In the stock room she asked what I'd be doing once we finished locking up
>Told her I'd probably grab some pizza on the way home but if she wanted she could tag along.
>She got close and smiled and said she had another idea
>That was my queue, we made out, I lifted her up onto a pallet, took her stockings down to her ankles and got between them, munched her box until I felt the shudders
>I wiped my face, got up and made out with her more and when she started going for my belt I dropped my jeans and smashed the shit out of her, pulled out and came against the pallet she was on top of.
>We had a giggle about it afterwards, got pizza and then she came back to mine in an arrow taxi, had a little fumble.
>Then when I got her into my room she stripped off and borrowed some of my gym clothes (september, cold night.) and we watched ranma whilst we cuddled and I put my hands down her sweats to play with her pussy.
>Probably napped for about an hour, then I got up and made a bit of breakfast (bacon sandwich) and she called her mom to pick her up.

You missed out on this stuff because you never even tried. Sorry little man. I have plenty to live for and lots of cheeky memories to get me through rough nights. Do you?

>>717745909
'straylian here
redpill me on the greggs sausage rolls
what makes them different from our four'n twenty rolls?

>>717746957

You don't need to hop on a plane to get them

>>717746957
Mate. They're indescribable. A northern delicacy. I've had yanks and kiwis both tell me that they're amazing. I don't know what a four n twenty roll is, but I can say with confidence that a fresh out the oven greggs sausage roll would probably beat it hands down. Fucking amazing if you can dip it in tomato or brown sauce.

>>717746719
>>717746917
>implying I'm reading any of your posts
kill yourself normalfaggot, nobody likes you and you do not belong here

>>717747569
Cry harder wee man.

>>717746719
mate, you really aren't as cool as you think you are.

>>717745909
Cornetto

>>717747828
I'll fucking batter you if I ever meet you irl

>>717748089
I sincerely doubt that

>>717748089
The only thing you'll ever batter is a sausage you fat cunt

This is like finding out the T.Rex evolved into a chicken.

>>717745304
Even as a little kid, I knew Gamestation was better. Even then though, GAME was acceptable aside from its mark-ups until they decided to break into the Funko Pop and merch market. GAME died when it became a glorified toy shop.

>>717748534
the t rex didn't evolve into a chicken you fucking rubberbrain

>>717741235 (OP)
I miss the 2000s

>>717749150
Why? The 90s were better

>>717749214
Well I wasn't conscious then.

>>717745909
The sausage rolls here are better cold and i'm tired of pretending otherwise

>>717745909
sausage roll thrice

>>717745351
NOOOO NOOOO NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOO WHYYY AAAHHHHH NOOOOO

I haven't stepped foot in a cex in ages, I don't think you'll ever find a bargain in them these days.
Like 10 or 15 years ago I found a bunch of good shit for gamecube and ps2 in charity shops, that was a good time for finding preowned gold.

>>717745345
>Started
They've been here for more than 20 years anon.
