I know this is an extremely late post but I thought I would post it up anyway. In September GameStop had an expo at the Anaheim Convention Center. As far as I know it, it’s always been in Vegas. Since it was so close to home my boyfriend and I decided to go. We got the VIP package which includes a swag bag, breakfast (I think it's from the small deli stand inside the convention, we didn’t eat), complimentary green screen, and we get in an hour and a half earlier. We got so much stuff! There were so many things to play and see! Lots of games using the VR, unfortunately, we didn’t get to try any games using the VR, the wait was too long although you can make reservations to play. The wait time for other games wasn't too bad. There were a lot of nonvideo game stands to win random things if you like, follow, or download certain apps. We played a couple of those won some stuff.
The gift shop though was crazy! They made a huge zig-zag line to get into the shop which had ZERO wait time, but the line to pay was ridiculously long! We got there just in time for my boyfriend to get Borderland the Handsome Collection Gentleman Claptrap. By the time we got half way to the cashiers we could see that the PS4 version was cleared out the only ones left were XBOX. There were a lot of other cool things in the shop but it’s not things that I really need or want so I didn’t buy anything.
After we made a couple of rounds I was getting hangry (getting annoyed because of hunger resulting in getting angry) it was around 2? We both haven’t had anything to eat and the only place close by was at the Hiltons food court, we didn’t want to drive out in case we had to pay for parking again. I’m pretty sure there other places to eat within walking distance. We made the mistake of not checking because my body started to ache, my shoulders felt heavy and sore like it was being pushed down and like I mention before I was getting hangry. We went to Submarina because it was the shortest line. The whole bill for our lunch was OVER $30 for 2 regular 6-inch subs and drinks. I could have gone to a Kbbq for lunch and stuffed myself! Anyway besides the price, I think this place made me sick, my stomach started to hurt a little while after. But I wasn’t sure if it was from the sandwich or was it from not eating all day.
I ended up leaving to the hotel first. I kind of regret leaving early but I wanted my boyfriend to have fun and enjoy himself and not have to worry about me. Also you guys the XBOX area was giving away cases of Rockstar per person! My boyfriend got a case and I was like man wish I could have been there! I would have struggled to bring it back to the car but hey free is free.
We both had a great time minus the body aches and getting sick after lunch. It was a fun experience and we would definitely go again.
