So, I went to GameStop today (Sat. June 18, 2011) for the OoT preview event. It went just about as good as it could have gone. It was a small GameStop, but it was the only one in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that was having the event, making it take an hour to get there (and back). But It was SO worth it.

So I walk in with my buddy, who seemed to be more interested in old PSP games than anything. There were was this young man and a lady who seemed to be in here 40s or 50s, but still had a passion for gaming. The lady came up to me and asked my what I was here for, I told her, and I motioned toward the table where all of the 3DS (3 of em') and Zelda stickers and a Zelda OoT 3D box were. She said OK, I walked over there, and got my Zelda on. There were only 5 people at the table, which was about the size of a small cubical desk. There were Me and my friend, some other person, and the two people who worked for Nintendo (not GameStop, surprisingly). The game. Was. FANTASTIC!!!!! I loved every singe bit of that 45 minutes to the soul. The Nintendo worker people were SO... NICE. The young guy talked about E3 and all of the games coming and just everything awesomesauce, while the lady was really quiet. We all talked about the game, and I got to play with the motion-sensing bow&arrow thing. (Spectacular)

THEN... I told him where I was from, and that's where it all changed. The lady said "Woooooooooooow, you drove all the way to Dallas just for this?!" And she started getting all crazed up and she gave me a bunch of free stuff!!! First, she gave me this OFFICIAL collection of Zelda stickers you couldn't get anywhere else. The stickers were a foot tall at the most (Ganondorf) and were just fabulous. Now this is the really cool part: The young guy gave me OFFICIAL life-sized AR cards, the whole deck- for free!!! I live in America so you can't just go to Club Nintendo and get ourself a deck of AR cards like Australia and Japan, so that was really sweet! But wait, there's more: They also game my an OFFICIAL Nintendo 3DS lanyard (!!!!!!!), which said Nintendo 3DS on it and had some of those DS rectangles on it.

So I stayed until 5, which was when the event closed. They said they enjoyed having us and not too many people turned up, but DAAAAAAAAAANG, was that worth the drive!

I'll try to post some pictures of the stuff later.

EDIT: Pictures are on the next page!

Welcome to the official tablet thread! Talk tablets to your hearts content.

I have just come to the realization that if I buy a PSVita, I might struggle to afford the Wii U AND I won't be able to afford all of the awesome games coming out like Super Mario, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, or even Tetris. So I ain't sold.
