Matty is single-handedly keeping GameStop from slipping into bankruptcy.

[@TheSpeedfoever]

​@Dot Com he don't return it he keeps it yo

[@jjkazempour]

Oh no, here comes r/wallstreetbets

[@denk5342]

Have you seen gamestop lately?

[@OfficialBo420]

WAS MOUTH AND VID SYNC OFF FOR ANYONE ELSE?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@OfficialBo420]

@@TheSpeedfoever he literally said he returns stuff in the video

[@TheViper4Life]

Matty: "$500! This is probably the highest I'll ever go!" Next video: "I bought a tent and I now live in the woods...but I spent $1500 on games at Gamestop for you!"

[@Trick0ut]

The Halo Reach anime arch was amazing, the ending was a work of art

[@TheOnlyGuy69]

I always thought Mario Battle Revolution was such a fun game. So many memories with my brother linking our DS handhelds to the Wii and using our teams.

[@thaiboypsp3000]

LOL

[@yorkshirebhoy4049]

Man, I laughed so hard at the Sega Superstar Tennis reveal, I feel for ya Matty, and hopefully you get your money back on that one. Hopefully you can keep SST it is legit a great fun game.

[@DonGroggy]

Had me laughing throughout the entire video! $75 for a cartridge 😂

[@realtayo42]

Lord almighty Matty has sacrificed himself to bring us joy once again. May your wallet rest in peace, and may the gamestop roulette be ever in your favor

[@Per_Anders]

FYI; The only games that shipped from a warehouse to you are the N64 games. The rest came from different stores. Employees are generally required to peel the price stickers off of games they’re shipping in case it’s a gift for someone. If the price stickers are still on there, they aren’t doing their job right. Also, the receipt for the first order should be attached to the shipping label on the front of the envelope Unfortunately, because the games get shipped from the stores, there are employees that don’t care about what they’re shipping out and won’t check 100% or even try to make sure that somebody gets a good product, plus shipping stuff out is currently a very big deal and stores get in trouble if they don’t send an order so some staff would rather ship out bad product than get dinged. Probably why Doom and “Halo” showed up like they did. And the “Halo” was probably a trade in that a new employee (or one that didn’t care) just didn’t look out when they took it in, and then it never got moved out of inventory like it should’ve. Doom will most likely work on your Xbox one if you’ve got one, because it only acts as a license and just downloads the game. DS & 3DS games almost never get traded in with the cases, because for some reason, people throw them away. alternatively people keep the cases when they trade in the games and then resell just the cases online. I’ve seen people do that. Because of that, You are almost never going to get an actual case for DS games. I’d say one out of 10 at best. Trust me, I’ve tried. And Just Return Pearl; average for a complete copy on eBay is $60. Get it there. Also, the contacts on the Sonic Rush are corroding. Reorder it. Hunter the Reckoning and Pokémon (Mario lol) battle Revolution are refurbished discs, I would honestly return and re-order at least PBR, Hunter is unlikely to come any other way. The gunk in the middle is the glue separating and the solution they use getting in between the cracks from being overdone on a disk resurfacing machine. The writing on the back was most definitely some kid using that case art for their copy of GTA5. I’ve seen that before too. The big black sticker is covering up a sticker that says defective because the game got sold to them non-functional, and they sent it to get refurbished. And The warehouse doesn’t bother removing stickers, it’s up to the store that receives and ships it to care. Revelations 2 was a former Redbox rental disc. That’s what the sticker in the center is. Those stickers are evil. That’ll Someone rented that, never brought it back to Redbox, and sold it to GameStop. Never had a case. My final note for you is a bit of advice you hopefully may have already taken: Honestly just take every problem game to your local store and if they don’t fix it up for you, go to a further one. Someone will be happy to help and be angry for/alongside you. But I wouldn’t bother calling support yourself.

[@Dualblades47]

I always look forward to these! Thanks for your sacrifice. I like us always having gamestop to come back to, but would be cool to see more local gamestore stuff as well.

[@TheBamBeans]

This definitely had it in the first half went from happy maybe even excited to down right mortified by the second half 😂😅. Great video very entertaining and awesome editing

[@jjkazempour]

He keeps doing it! He can't be stopped! I feel for you every episode 😂

[@ThePhantomKingX]

Just one more pull and he'll hit the jackpot!

[@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm]

Love this series, you might want to double check that Pearl cart! I went through two rounds of returns for that game and kept getting repo carts. I ended up just asking for refund and told them please don't put these back into the inventory to sell to the next person, lol.

[@asaadalshahin6519]

LMFAOOO SONICS STUPID FACE STARING AT YOU IN A HALO REACH CASE KILLED ME

[@stevemoose3028]

This is a great series, this video was a roller coaster ride

[@shoobydoo]

Someone had their bowl from 2011 last used on 420 over a decade ago on that Halo case scraping resin.

[@AkiDave]

“Man juice check” is the funniest shit I’ve heard all day 😂

[@MrMedaboss]

Matty wildin with calling it man juice lmao💀

[@MrMKR]

I love this series, matty and lockmort made for each other with some of these edits Hahaha, we love man juice

[@Killbana]

The vibes are so casual and fun on this side of the Matty realm and im all for it, keep it up Matty, youre really doing a great job and im digging you spending money on us! Wish you and the future wife all the best in your house hunting :)

[@jimbuddy9142]

if that pile of games is worth $500 my collection is worth a million dollars

[@capcomcrazyl4]

Seeing “36 seconds ago” next to this in my recommended was a trip. Always love these can’t wait for 1k in the future lol.

[@mikeress1784]

I love this series!!! Please keep ‘em coming!!!!

[@Lunatic89097]

I never thought that man juice would be something to look out for with games. Side note: A Mario Battle Revolution would be pretty sick

[@jailkin]

I use to work at game stop (nearly a decade ago) and their "we'll buy anything" approach is what leads to those Halo cases floating out there when they should be replaced.

[@necrotic256]

All of my physical collection ends around 2010 as being a PC gamer, everything moved to the digital at that time. Now looking at the busted discs, boxes, labels, i catch myself thinking that maybe it was for the best

[@chasejackson7248]

Gamestop is the only ones doing that

[@leoncrabtree]

Ahhhh yes Matty thank you! ❤ I’d love this kinda video to spread to UK content creators at some point! So fun

[@gracekim25]

Mmmm i don’t think CEX is as bad as this 😂

[@chazz3167]

I love these videos so much. Thanks for spending your hard earned cash on this stuff man!

[@codyreeder9970]

I love these! Please keep doing them!!

[@statesminds]

You gotta play Spyro whaaa the og trilogy is like one of my favorite childhood games haha

[@xwers1234]

MATTY got rinsed on that Pearl Catridge. I laughed so hard 😂

[@7orotv3]

LMFAOOOOOOO. I knew hell was coming later on. At least you got a few dubs Matty😭

[@dannysurtees2907]

It started such a happy video 😂 I felt for you on the 74.99 ouch

[@TheMedusos]

I really enjoy this channel thank you for the videos. I get annoyed at spoilers at times but other than that they’re very enjoyable

[@fearlessgamer95]

Let’s Goooo My Favorite Series ❤ is Back Baby

[@SSBJack911]

This might be one of the best ones, some high highs but arguably lowest lows 😂 Great stuff Matty. I picked up Epic Mickey 2 recently too!

[@fromthesnow]

LMAOOOO the sonic tennis disc in the grimey halo reach case

[@TheBeatlesFan86]

Matty is an expert at identifying MAN JUICE

[@ThatGuySticks35]

As a GameStop employee, it pains me to see the game still in the PO yellow disc folder in the case instead of just putting it in the case like normal, or the lack of a receipt or game case for some of these packages lol As for the Reach case, man idk what people do to their cases at home but shit gets real nasty at times and I either tell them we can't take it or if the game itself is in good condition, I throw away the case. I've seen all kinds of different colored mystery gunk in game cases :( As for any games that come in a case w/o the original cover art, that's bc the person who traded it in didn't bring the og case w them so we have to make those Pre-Owned cover art sheets (I wish they looked better tho) Easiest job I've ever had but man the corporate side of GameStop gets to me sometimes, same goes w the receipts for online orders not having the price like why?? Love your content btw I enjoy watching your channels while I procrastinate on studying :) Side note it's funny you mentioned Diddy Kong Racing for N64 bc in all my time working here that's the only N64 game I've seen in any of my stores and I was the one working when the customer came to sell it

[@ThatGuySticks35]

Forgot to mention: Spyro 3 was my childhood game on my PS2, never beat it as a kid so when I got the Reignited trilogy on my Series X I went ham and 100% it. Honestly try it out it's an amazing trilogy :)

[@Logan-nd3ho]

I miss the old gamestop casses with the random guys on the cover

[@TekEffekt]

According to my gf they don’t include the receipts in the package, they email it to you. This KZbinr doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[@BrD4GOD]

Love these videos! Keep em coming!

[@Valion13Gaming2]

As a former gamestop store manager these came from stores, not a warehouse, and your receipts are digital. those are just packing slips.

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

Honestly I feel like buying this on eBay used would have given better results for the exact same price tbh

[@James-gj8rn]

This series i always an absolute blast, thanks for keeping it going Matty (i don't know how GameStop get away with this nonsense) :'D

[@TheKaijuKai]

Love these vids! We need a game collection vid.

[@michaelkelley7144]

The Peanuts music wit Matty saying "at least there no man juice on it" was too much for me this morning.

[@Ghostface2455]

The employees are trying to send you riddles to free them 🤣🤣

[@rillevis]

My fav series ❤️

[@Learn2Obey]

you’ve earned yourself a new sub, with notis on 🔥💯

[@jrpggamer93]

So worth watching till the end I always do anyways but I needed a good laugh 😂😂 didn't even have the right game . Sorry u got screwed

[@thedancingpipestuffer]

KZbinrs throwing this kind of money on these horrible gaming companies known for literally scamming ppl is pretty entertaining, but it's also a big reason why they're still alive

[@ckhound1]

On a side note, have been watching this channel for a bit, and then randomly get into Defining Dukes and was like man, this voice sounds so familiar for some reason. Glad to finally put the connection together in my dumb brain lol.

[@joellutz4235]

I live for Matty’s pain…. I love ya and your sacrifice!

[@mukeshgoolcharan6121]

Good stuff man looking for the next one 😊😊

[@TheFanatic33]

The reason why the inside of the cover art of a copy of Pokémon Battle Revolution for the Wii had “GTA Five PS4” written on it is the funniest and weirdest mystery I know I’ll never get an answer to.

[@TechCaliburr]

Mario Battle Revolution lol Matty that was funny. 23:34

[@JamesGowan]

I was checking out GameStop, GameXchange, Walmart and Target today and all of them are selling games at such high prices. So many games are being sold for their ORIGINAL prices even some a year old! GXC had lots of Zelda Breath of the Wild (no art and really busted cases for $50!) I bought a new copy of Zelda Breath of the Wild for BestBuy for $40 2 months ago.

[@lanceknightmare]

I was a defender of Gamestop. It has been years since I have gone there. I renewed my Gameinformer subscription and two years in a row they took my money and did not send the magazines. Gamestop is trash and no one should shop there. Get yourself a Microsoft Store or Playstation Store card and buy some digital games. The deals are absolutely crazy. Or, just buy from somewhere else if you are looking for physical games.

[@ClownTown75]

Great video as usual Matty!

[@MothersOfMars]

Oh baby! I’ve been picking my scabs in the corner. Gimmie my fix!

[@TripleplayTirado]

another Gamestop in Matty fashion with the iconic intro. and Man juice haha!

[@Bull_1112]

The $75 for just the game hurt my soul. Great video buddy, sucks that it ended so horribly after that great start

[@johnnygdimondhands9473]

Game Stop ain't going no where. Hope Those Shorts Covered but they didn't lolz.

[@superm1guel]

Man juice lmao I’m dead!!

[@wesleyflocka]

Matty worked so hard to clean the reach case just for it to have Sega tennis 😂😂

[@SoManyHaystacks]

Curious how many times Matty will run into the Patented "Game Stop Man Juice".

[@Rookie097]

Dude yes! Get that house! Paying off a mortgage is a great investment my man. Full support on that one 🤙

[@ernestoarteche4529]

The writing on the back of the pokemon game made me laugh so hard 😂

[@ToonerSKooner]

RIP Burdick.

[@MrMattyG]

R.E. Spyro Matty! I recently played the first remaster and it's fantastic. It was one of my favourite games as a kid so nostalgia may have helped.

[@BirdiePlaysYT]

Me laughing because I never sold my N64 or games or gamecube or Wii lol

[@ryanmcwilliams8784]

That’s sad Charlie Brown Christmas music though lmao

[@ItaChu787pr]

6:34 FIVE BUCKS?! A 1ST XBOX GAME?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pault.6653]

creating "entertainment" by wasting money on things you explicitly don't want is grimy.

[@ERBfan01]

Hey matty love your videos dude keep it up

[@Gaming-Enthusiast]

Great video massive inspiration to us smaller creators 👍👍

[@mongooseeyy]

Hunter the reckoning was my first couch coop game that I actually played with friends. Played on GameCube though

[@TheMeravok]

Man that halo reach case is a classic. Always re use that clip haha

[@seth12382]

There were some high highs and some low lows lol

[@TheShezarrine]

I enjoy these. Don't envy having to touch that reach case though LOL.

[@romulochaul]

I really wish you could buy, play and make a video about the most underrated RPG of all time: Radiata Stories for the PS2

[@francis_97]

I want this to be re-released so bad, but I doubt it'll be happening any time soon.

[@slashyslasher1248]

The Burdick that owned that Mario Golf died and his family sold his video games

[@zombiekohhi3586]

That stuff you see on a lot of the games in the center of the disc where the disc is held in the case is from the fluid/solution used when resurfacing discs.

[@PrettyAight]

Surprising lack of man-juice in this one, thank god for Matty's sake haha

[@Castcoder]

You got the version of Spyro Reignited that doesn't contain all of the games on the disc. Any new copy would include all of the games, but any game printed 2018-early 2019 will say "Download Required".

[@noware.3D]

Love these videos

[@bbthumb43]

Bro if that pearl was complete, it woulda been over $200

[@Aerialslayer]

Love these videos lol. You poor man.

[@Obscur888]

YES!! Finnally another of ny favorite one!!!

[@Easelgames]

Haha that halo reach is disqusting, but the rest of it you're just more of a clean freak then most people lol

[@RealKaiserRyu]

Hot Take. I love the PS3 Red Cases. Probably because Red is by favorite color.

[@zettafleya]

Handsome Mr Matty has returned.

[@jack25956]

No man-juice? 😂 none??

[@shinkaiatsuya950]

Halo Reach...ing for the ash tray, mission failed.

[@speedwaynutt]

Who ever accepted the Halo Reach trade in needs to be fired not only did it look like it been used as a ash tray it had the wrong damn disc

[@dictatorofthecheese]

3:16 My boy and Wallstreet bets are the only two keeping gamestop above water. Mad respect.

[@danilachukanov2456]

I wholeheartedly agree about Jet Force Gemini! One of the best!

[@Jackraiden500]

"its really hard to mess nintendo cartridges up" so much so i'm convinced the military actually uses them for tank armor on the down low 😂

[@Frosty2014]

Love the content!!! Made it this far in the video!! God bless!!

[@kenzakiazuma6136]

The halo case is catastrophic. Even with the extra sonic game disc 😂

[@alany2669]

not sure if anyone else mentioned, but they sometimes put the receipt with the shipping papers that are taped up in front of the package. Its hidden behind those papers.

[@zacharybecker8228]

buying ds and 3ds games from gamestop is just asking to be disappointed since for a while they had the bright idea to throw away cases to save space but now they still charge full cib prices for most of them
