game system, it had 400 games, it was ten dollars at Five Below, yes the store is called Five Below, but they sell a lot of things that cost more of

five

dollars. it should be called five and up, you know, bait and switch action, there was, uh, an intriguing device, not something that necessarily surprises me that it exists, but I felt like, hey, something like this in a legitimate store with games copyrighted was a bit strange like me. I don't normally see that, but some people mentioned that they've been seeing it in other stores and I've seen little

They had like 20 or 30 of these in there, so I'm not sure what's up with that, like they packed them up.
