    We are now approaching the "uncanny" era of Scott's musings. Cuz y'see, this one isn't ancient history, no sir--this is the same ad i got in the mail during my senior year of college, that sat in my apartment bathroom for a month. I don't just remember seeing it, but having & holding multiple copies (1 was handed to me with my Xenoblade Chronicles X special edition preorder receipt).
    It's not a wistful, hazy memory either, like toys r us ads or the JCPenny enormous catalogue. This is a "wasn't that just yesterday?" feeling. Only now I realize it was 8 years ago.
    Man, time flies.

    The GameStop Black Friday deal in 2015 was actually decent for systems like Wii U, used Wiis, PS3, Xbox 360, and the PS Vita, because I bought the Vita and played some games on it, but it was the LCD model that was hard to mod because of the firmware! My friend was able to mod the Vita and put SNES games on it! Now the Vita is like a collectors item, because how underrated the system is, Sony should’ve not used those infamous memory cards! That’s what killed the Vita.

    War flashbacks, I worked this Black Friday at my Gamestop store, it was one of the last ones I was subjected to, I remember people going crazy for some of this stuff. I remember staying hours late to set this up, I remember those stupid Tony Hawk earbuds, getting screamed at because we ran out of the cheap PS4's, all of it brings back that odd kind of nostalgia where I hate every single moment of it fondly.

      It's still crazy and, quite frankly, stupid how those are pretty much the best-selling games of their systems, heck even among the best selling games of all-time, yet so freaking hard to get for decent prices (largely because millions of people got nostalgic for DS-era Pokemon games recently and modern Pokemon doesn't seem to have the best future ahead).

    With the whole "Skylanders nostalgia boom" thing you mentioned, unfortunately the chips in the figures are battery based and all the data relevant to that toy is lost when it dies. The thing is, a lot of them are starting to die already so I don't think they'll last 10 years.
    (Yes you could theoretically replace the battery, but that requires breaking the base of the toy, and if the battery needs to be replaced, the data AND the the actual identifier for what character it is is already lost. Imagine losing both the savedata AND the ability to play the game at all in a pokemon cart the moment the battery dies. That's the situation with skylanders.)

    I loved those Tour 2 headphones, I still see beats everywhere if people aren't wearing air pods. People still wear the Studios at the gym

    I'm so bummed you didn't talk about the mess that was the black friday mystery Funko boxes. There was a chance for a gold chase but people (read employees) could look into the boxes and find them.

    Thank you Scott for giving me hope on a Disney infinity character pack that I bought my accident from Toys R Us when I already had the figures. I've been trying to unload it for years. And I guess a little while longer before i can make $1 on an accodental inveatment.

      I’ve been feeling the same way, I’m enjoying these way more. But I can always appreciate the effort out into the main channel.

      CGR is actually back, but it isn’t the same as those early 2008 - 2012 reviews.
