So, I used to work at GameStop. Worked for them for over 12 years. They have a service at the stores called "ship from store." So, if customers order products online, but there's a local store near their address that has the product, then they send that store the order to fulfill. So that's why you get a lot of the yellow envelopes. Also, if you're looking online and they have a picture of the box art for the retro games rather than just the cartridge or disc, then you have a higher chance of getting the case. Love the videos, they're fun to watch, thank you!

Matt singlehandedly keeping GameStop in business with these hauls

Buying games at GameStop is like playing Russian Roulette where they mixed up the rules. Instead of one bullet in the barrel, they removed just one bullet in a full barrel.

I bet Pam D or her parents wrote her name on that cartridge to not forget that its her game because back when we were kids we would always share and lend out our Gameboy games with lots of other kids and at the end after months we often didn't even knew anymore which ones were our games and which ones from others so it makes sense for parents to write their kids name on stuff especially if they have big friend circles in elementary school

Do you return the games you don't like? I love this series by the way. It's the right combination of morbid curiosity and comedy. ❤

YES! My favorite Retro Rebound series returns.

I just love going on a retro rebound youtube binge everday ❤

recently found your channel and I'm absolutely stoked I did! I love your work!

bro the "I'm a damaged person" sent me fying omg it was so good lmao

Honestly subscribed to this channel for this gamestop series

One of my favorite things you do on the channel. I'd be interested in seeing you buy some stuff without it being random and showing off the unboxing, too. Thanks for the video, Matty.

Your my new KZfaq binge .. love your content man .. inspired me to go get the old games / consoles I played as a kid

What a great use of your youtube money! lol kidding, I enjoy these, keep up the great work and godspeed for next time "$500 Spent at Gamestop!"

Sad to say my start to recent retro purchases started with a spur-of-the-moment purchase of a loose Mario Party DS at GameStop: $25, about $15 more than PriceCharting. Since then I've been much more careful

I absolutely love these videos man. Let’s get to $500 😂

Idk why I love the gamespot haul vids so much but I do 😪

Lol I recently grabbed Sly Cooper and Splinter Cell compilations for PS3. Both in great shape. After your advice I'm even happier I thrifted them.

I laughed every time the Wheel of Fortune graphic came up! 😄

Haha that GameStop commercial at the beginning is actually hilarious. I’ve never seen it. Another good video! Thanks for the content

I actually like Spyro a new beginning. Especially the music. It’s full of bangers

Great videos, love these random game pick ups!

This series is the equivalent of gambling lmfao

Finally. The long awaited Gamestop picks. Oh baby baby 👏

Matty spending money is the content I support.👏 My broke ass can live out my shopping instincts vicariously through these videos :)😅

@7:48 "It's A Nice Manual! It's COLORFUL!!" As Matty is thumbing through a black n white manual....

Who else loves this series.

Matty’s voice has changed since i last saw his Fallout 4 videos years ago lol

haha when it went to B&W slow mo

Matty sounds like Tony Robbins when his voice gets modulated. 🤣

MAN! You took the last copy of Nier I was looking at!!! I had that tab open the day before I got paid and when I went back it was unavailable! Congrats on the pull but DAMN IT MAN I was gonna grab that.

Heck yeah man love these vids

This was hilarious my guy, love this series.

I really like this guy! He seems very wholesome! It's a relaxed channel! Had to sub!

My favorite is when I go to their stores, spend a while picking something that has a good case and manual. Take it up to the counter and they pull out an ass looking copy without a manual and a greatest hits disc in a regular case. Can't imagine taking chances buying from them online. No way.

I love how Matty won’t call a game “CiB” even when it never had a manual to begin with. YO! That’s CiB today bro. Give it up.

Idk who on the team edits these videos but they deserve a raise. Very tight editing awesome host and great channel concept.

Yeah, I used to be signed up for a monthly retro gaming box. At first they were sending out complete games then it degraded into lose carts. I only buy off ebay now.

Didn't know bbno$ made game reviews. Great vid.

Matty: “why is it double the price GameStop?” GameStop: “Money 🤪”

5:18 Never drink and online shop for games. That's how I ended up with two copies of Sonic Adventure DX.

That lowrider intro killed me

Yeah! 😎 My favourite GameStop lootboxes videos are back!

Yess new GameStop pickup

As I said, 95% of 3ds/ds games are going to be cartridge only. The boxes are thrown out as they are traded in by the customer and/or GameStop employees. That final fantasy 3 is such a rare occasion, with both the game and being complete.

i love old games old games are the best

Top tier thumbnail man it made me laugh!

Love these videos, let’s see the ratio! Thanks for all the videos you create, love your channels!

I love these videos!! Please keep doing them!!

Play Journey right now. It's only about 3 hours long and it's amazing.

This show is basically the video game equivalent to Press You Luck: The TV Game Show. Every GameStop generic case is a whammy

Just letting you know, you need to lift ps3 discs up to the light to see through the label just in case there is scratches on the top side. It won't read the disc if it does

Love your channels!

Kinda surprised the loose price of Plankton’s Robotic Revenge PS3 is actually around 20$ (not accounting for manjuice)

Jesus how have you not played Journey yet Matty? Its like 3 hours and it's one of the goats. We all have our games we should have played but come on MAN!! Also this was hilarious. Your best gamestop video yet

I decon EVERYTHING I buy used. No matter how clean it looks, you never know.

I legit didn’t know about price charting and was about to sell some ds/3DS games so this will help! Thanks!!

Literally went into my gamestop today and they had a cib white version 2 for 69$ and I used my 5 pro plus had 25$ points code. Was super excited. I like gamestop I score enough to not be mad at them lol

The Liara in that mat art just looked so worried that this would go very wrong.

Incredibly entertaining. Ha. Nice haul...I mean I guess it could be worse right? Right???? Nice Journey pick up.

another sick video bro! can't wait for more

Matty single handedly keeping GameStop afloat. Persona 5 kind of surprised me honestly. I thought the PS3 version was only released in Japan.

Goddamn I love this series

Really enjoyed this one.

Wow, you didn't even look at the Xbox 360 disc? That's the primary reason I don't order 360 games from GS. They're always scratched.

Gamestop was an incredible place to buy GameCube, DS etc a few years ago. Especially when they had their Buy 2 get 1, 4 for $10 or 4 for $20 deals. Was reselling on eBay as a side hustle for a year in a half pre covid. Now days they have really tighten in their pricing. You occasionally can find some good stuff, but generally its not worth your time unless you are genuinely into collecting old games without cases and have a massive CD binder.

Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast. - Ron Burgundy.

I somehow have 2 cases for the Sims 2 on ds hahaha. It isn't a normal Sims game but it is a ton of fun with a lot of wacky personality

I live for these videos. You make something so mundane absolutely hilarious dude! 😂

You do realize that Gamestop has no control over what you get when you buy their games, it's all returns. It literally just depends on whether the person who returned the game brought the game in its box. What gamestop SHOULD of done is give less money if you bring in the CD or cartridge ONLY. Instead they give you the full return either way.

I now expect a increase of $50 every new video good Sir 😌

Raging blast the best of DBZ games. Used to build custom decks and vs people with 1 character each in team battle . Near 10 minute fights.

This guy LOVES when the case comes with the manual😂

GameStop is like Pawn Stars. Offer you ridiculously low amounts for your games, and resell for scalp prices

I love these !

dude, it really hurts these videos sometimes but is fucking addictive...greetings from southamerica!

Just discovered you, great channel

Dude! You gotta play Journey. It's 2 hours of gorgeous art

Well, be thankful Pam D wrote on the back and not on the label like I have seen some do!

I cant wait for the $1000 haul episode

The Sims 2 DS is a really good game, don’t sleep on it!

Nice Lackey background sounds. I honestly had no idea P5 came out on ps3 thats news to me. Hopefully you grt some Vita action since every game is worth a billion bucks apparently.

Speaking of luck finding Final Fantasy 3 on DS... A couple years ago I went to a pop-up consignment shop to go clothes shopping for my kids, and as we approached checkout, there was a bin with a random DS game, and it was Final Fantasy 3, complete in box, clean, and it was marked for $4. Needless to say I was thrilled and snapped it up.

OFFICER YOU GOT MORE TO DO THAN YOUR FAMILY EVERY CAUGHT SEEING

I absolutely lost it when Matty said there was manjuice on the disc

that copy of nier was clean af how delightfully fortuitous.

For some reason I love seeing Matty's wallet suffer

I get so hype seeing one of these videos coming out lol

Hey dude nice video how did u get so many subscribers?

You should do a vid showing off your game collection matty.

That dirty Kong is clean I didn't know games top had n64 games

I would like to see you pop the cartridges into the n64 and ds to see the save data on them

my friend said you missed out on a mementos joke for p5 on ps3! she said: "he should have said it doesn't look like it came from momentos!" 😆

That og Nier Gestalt and p5 copy not bad. I went to buy the new Persona 5R One More edition and the shipping was $42 and I live in America lmfao. That's just ridiculous

$250 on old games makes no sense why don’t you just go buy your games on ebay if you don’t care about paying very high prices

I don’t know how GameStop gets away with this, you are probably keeping this business alive giving them a dime lmao

Love these.

Since we're getting a remaster of Tales of Symphonia, can we get a series retrospective on Tales?

I've never even heard of most of these games

Fucking dark Knight score haha

I think when it is sent solo in an envelope, the store that sends it, the receipt usually does not reflect the actual price you bought the game for. I've seen it happen many times.
