    50 cents off $60 reminds me Home Depot clearance items. 



    I’d say you should include a link to these topics but I guess people who dont know what you are talking about aren’t going to buy the product anyway. 



    My daughter is a voracious reader and we shop at places like Half Priced Books. 

    You can find many the popular series books on clearance for a couple bucks.

    Ohhhhh, my bad!  What a deal! lol! 



    Speaking of his book, I bought one from him a while back that arrived in TERRIBLE condition!  Every corner of the book was dently heavily, as it wasn't shipped very well to say the least.  I looked through the book before sending it back, and I must say that it's pretty damn impressive!  But I'm not gonna risk dropping $60 on another just to have it arrived looking like it's been through WW3. 

     
  • I don't know this guy, and feel free to carry on with your 3 minutes of hate but maybe he entered "50" rather than "500" in his sales management system. So, maybe this should have been $5 off. It's easy to troll someone like this but, serious. Who gives a $.50 discount on a $60 item. That's like saying "Come buy a new car today and we'll knock off $100 on your first payment! ...oh wait. Dealers do that, don't they?
  • I don't quite share the same vitriol towards Contri that a lot of others do... That said, 50 cents off of $60 is LOL ridiculous. It has to be an error/typo.

    That was my first thought as well.

     
  • I didn't want it to come across as trolling. Maybe it is a mistake. I'm just pointing it out.
  • Error or not, still worth a chuckle.

    Why is there vitriol towards Pat? I think he's funny.

    He's a member here, and always stirs up a lot of "discussion" when he comes around. Grab some popcorn and dig up some old threads.

     
  • Oh that sounds great, anyone have some links?

    I think he just rubs certain people the wrong way (not me personally). His Youtube videos (particularly the CU Podcast) seem to generate a lot of "dislikes".

     
  • I had a pat sighting at Radys children's hospital fundraiser awhile back. I recognized him but didn't go talk to him. He always kinda struck me as a douche but it's cool if he was there for charity purposes. Can't be such a bad guy I suppose. I haven't watched his videos or kept up with him but last I heard he was spitting some venom about nintendo age and to each their own. I do hope that sale is a typo or otherwise he really is ridicuous.

    When I used to watch the podcast with him and Ian I thought they were probably the best in terms of just regular dudes who collect games and like talking about games/collecting.



    They never came across as fake which is a big issue I had with a lot of other people who do similar stuff it always seemed scripted and they tried too hard.
  • +1 for someone NA who likes Pat. His book is actually my favorite NES book. It has lots of great opinions and stories and isn't just a database dump of Wikipedia and back-of-the-box info. Come on Pat, you can smooth over your differences with NA  
  • Has this been corrected?

    Well those differences are that some people here feel the need to take shots at him each time his name is mentioned, and he feels we as staff don't do enough to stop that.
