So my brother gets a PS3 and ....

Post by **Vympel** » 2007-03-24 12:57am

To get a discount ...

HE SELLS HIS FUCKING PS2 AND MOST OF THE GAMES FOR IT.

INCLUDING THE GAMES I FUCKING PAID FOR.

Metal Gear Solid 2. Gone.

Metal Gear Solid 3. Gone.

(and others)

So when MGS4 for PS4 comes out- I'll have no way to play anything else. MGS:TTS on GameCube I can't play because my GameCube is broken.

I'm gonna kill him.

Demand he pay you back for the games.

Pay you full retail that they came out as, not their current value.

That shit does not fly.

Sounds like theft to me.

Hilariously, the EB offer round here is about $12 per game (twenty games + console for $300 discount) and EB sells them on for $30-40. So, he sold your games AND got ruled.

Ouch. However, I wouldn't find it comforting to note that they both got screwed.

Vympel, I've been in your situation, and I know what you mean. As you're likely already planning, it might be a good idea to sit down with him and work out an "arrangement" wherein this loan of yours will be paid back by him, the loanee, in whatever means is found materially acceptable.

Frankly I'd just impound the shit out of his PS3. As part-owners I'm sure Vympel can rule him.

Exactly. It's Vympel's until the loan has been properly repaid.

He has one week to pay you back or you repo the PS3.

May I suggest crushing his nuts with a pair of pliers first?

Seriously though, make it plain and simple to him that its plain theft, and if he doesn't give you the money to rebuy the games you will trade in the PS3 for the games back.

Break his PS3!

Tychu · Post by **Tychu** » 2007-03-24 03:08am

Me and my brother thankfully grew up with the beliefs of trading in games was retarded to begin with. That all went to shit when he traded THPS 1-4 away when he decided that "You have to be a skater to play those games"

Now they were his games (he bought or got as gifts) but I put my heart and soul into those games. Some times blood, I am known to get violent and pound my fist into the wall or ground when I can't seem to do something in a game. But we compromised and he paid for THPS 2X and we never speak of the horror that happend

Yeah, shit - Vympel's a fucking lawyer.

LITIGATE HIM!

Yeah, he says he got $370 for his BLOOD GAMING SACRIFICE.

And he didn't even get Resistance: Fall of Man for PS3 either. He got two fucking racing games.

I've since railed and berated him for daring to sell my damn games without asking, he's said he'll pay me back. I'd settle for about 50AUD per game- now I just need to remember what fucking games they were (asides from the MGS series).

Treaten to destroy the PS3. After all, accidents happen

Executor32 · Post by **Executor32** » 2007-03-24 07:02am

I have to second the repo idea, just so there's a contingency in case he "forgets" to pay you back.

Stofsk · Post by **Stofsk** » 2007-03-24 07:25am

An 'intentional' accident could be in order.

Blood for the blood god, Vympel.

Take that PS3 and donate it to some children's hospital. If he bitches at you, tell him he has no heart.

Go Phoenix Wright on his dumb arse. He's asking for it, especially when he just sold some of the best PS2 titles to grace the console. I wouldn't mind selling the PS2 if the PS3 could play the damn games for it, but selling the games too? What kind of retard is he?

The special kind?

Vympel, keep us updated on what retribution you intend to exact.

Remind him also that the backward compatability in the PAL region PS3 consoles is gimped, so he's just ruined your ability to play those games, even when he does pay you back.

Davis 51 · Post by **Davis 51** » 2007-03-24 07:15pm

Here's what you do. Take the fucking PS3, and if he doesn't pay you in full for the games, plus a PS2 to play them (Gimped Backwards Compatability and all,) sell the fucking thing, buy the games, a PS2, and a Wii to play The Twin Snakes.

Does he have a reciept, so you know what games he traded?

Post by **Vympel** » 2007-03-24 11:54pm

No, the dipshit doesn't. He has no idea what the hell he even sold. So I have to go from memory. Bloody idiot.

Christ, so not only is he a thief, but he's a thief with shitty taste.

He bought a 600 dollar console using some of your money for two fucking racing games?

Sell the Playstation 3. Take your money back, and claim whatever he put in as the fine for stealing your money.

Glad I'm not the only one who find racing games to be the dullest genre of games evar...

I know one of those, his bit of idiocy was very special. He was short a couple quid so couldn't buy his bus pass for the week, so he sold his PS2 at gamestation to get the money. Next day he got paid, went back to the store and bought it back. Naturally at a higher price than he sold it.

As for his game choices, why???
Out of all the racing games I've seen or played, the Burnout series is the only ones I've actually enjoyed.
