Today's poll of the day made me miss working at Gamecrazy. Haven't worked there in 15 years but it was ten times better than gamestop, eb, funcoland, etc.

Being able to play any game, new or used, in the store before buying it was awesome. So was MVP days and tournaments that we had. I still remember opening up Halo 2 and having a go at it in multiplayer with the small group of employees before release. We used to get commission based on the amount of MVP cards/renewals and warranties that we sold. It wasnt much but if you sold a lot of them you made a pretty great profit (I made more on commission than a 35 hour week one time).

To my knowledge other game shops don't do this. It's a shame Hollywood Video went out of business but not a surprise since it was around the time Blockbuster was hurting.
