I would love you but a bundle. Yes I would like being able to pick from multiple games but if not you can alway trade in the game you don’t want and pick up a game you do. As a gamer I am all for trying any game if I don’t like it I don’t play it

Totally agree, Thomas. And I've been saying that for some time – sometimes GameStop clerks, when you're nice to them, will let you exchange a bundled game (I experienced that when I bought something online and said I wanted to take back the entire bundle). Not everyone experiences this (and technically it's store policy to require the entire bundle to be taken back), but when it works, it's basically a gamer's dream.

I am always nice to the clerks at game stock. If the store is slow I always have conversations with them. Store clerks deserve to be treated with respect. My wife is a clerk at a local Ohio state store and you cannot believe how rude people get. It’s not her fault the owners do not carry certain things in the store. All clerks are there to get a pay check not put up with rude and ignorant people

Instore or online. Whatever the manner of purchase, it's like an extreme sport or even a game. Maybe even its own Squid Game. In my country (Trinidad & Tobago), after taxes, profit and currency conversion, they're selling the Nintendo Switch V2 only for US$225, the PS5 digital only for US$487, and the PS5 disc only for US$567. And this is after supposed discounts. Madness!
