Reader Discussion: What’s The Craziest Thing You’ve Done To Get A Game?
Forgive me if you’ve heard me tell this story before. I was mere hours late to pre-order a Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot Chest. By the time I realized I hadn’t secured mine, the opportunity had passed me by… or it would have if I hadn’t been willing to drive three hours roundtrip.
When Borderlands 2 came out, I called every store nearby to get one. I ended up finding one unclaimed in New York state, so I gleefully got in the car and drove to pick it up.
Many of us have similar stories, whether it’s camping an eBay auction for a rare game, lining up days in advance, or selling blood to buy games (something I've now heard about from more than one person). What’s your craziest game acquisition story? Let us know in the comments.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
