I did it for the PlayStation 2 because I pre-ordered mine and I wanted to get it at midnight when, at the time, Electronic Boutique in the mall opened at midnight.
Bob ThomasHOST
Are all these games still system-specific games?

Generally, no. They're available for the PlayStation 5, the Xbox One.
Patrick EllersHOST
I'm mad and I don't understand.

Mark MitchellHOST
This week.
Mark MitchellHOST
We're talking about the Pokemon Company announcing a permanent Pokemon store opening in London, England by 2029.
Mark MitchellHOST
I'm not wrong to be mad.
Mark MitchellHOST
I feel like that's just like a department store in some ways, right? We're moving away from department stores.
Mark MitchellHOST
There's not room for a perfume counter in EB Games.
Mark MitchellHOST
But interestingly, the Pokemon Company calls this London location, quote, the first of several permanent Pokemon store that are planned to launch outside of Asia.

Calum MarshGUEST
But yeah, definitely when I was, I had a job when I was in my early teens at what is now GameStop.
Calum MarshGUEST
At the time, they called it Electronics Boutique or EB Games.
Calum MarshGUEST
Yeah.
Calum MarshGUEST
I had the
GemmaHOST
I do remember you talking about this previously and it looks like at least in Australia, there is, there's a special edition or it's called the final masterpiece edition.
GemmaHOST
And this is a physical thing I'm seeing on EB games website.
GemmaHOST
And it's like, It's one and two, Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2.
GemmaHOST
It's like Switch 2 editions.
GemmaHOST
Yeah, I just realized this Switch 2 Masterpiece Edition isn't even out yet.
GemmaHOST
It comes out on the 28th of October in Australia, at least.
GemmaHOST
You can pre-order it from EB Games.
GemmaHOST
It's $110, but that's two games plus the DLC.
KevinHOST
like, oh, I'm fucking playing this game.
FalconHOST
And I got that, I think I bought the actual piece of software at like EB Games.
FalconHOST
Yeah, I remember EB Games.
KevinHOST
Where GameStop bought out everything.
FalconHOST
Yeah.
JasonHOST
Yeah, my immediately comparable story is not dissimilar.
JasonHOST
The boxed, you know, off the shelf at Electronics Boutique copy of Elite that I got for the C64 had shrink-wrapped inside of it a purchase receipt for that same game from a Target store, which was notable because at the time, Target was not in the Chicago area where I lived.
JasonHOST
So this thing had been purchased at a completely different store, returned presumably to that store, sent back to a distributor or whatever, re-shrink wrapped, and then ended up on a shelf at Electronics Boutique.
ChrisHOST
The shrink wrap, because I worked in game.
ChrisHOST
That's a story many people know.
DonHOST
Make friends with somebody at work that you can swap with so you can come out to this thing.
DonHOST
Now, the whole idea behind the Midnight Madness release was to go back into the days of GameStop, right? Or Funkoland, or Babbage's, Electronics Boutique, right? FYE, right? When a new game was coming out and you were like, damn it, they're going to have it.
DonHOST
I'm going to line up at the mall at midnight.
DonHOST
And as soon as the clock strikes midnight, it's going to be launch day.
Tom OrryHOST
I never used them either.
