It ridiculous that you have to wait for someone to open the case just to look at something or buy something.

Anyway, if everyone starts doing this sort of thing, I'll just buy online instead. Part of the reason I don't mind paying a little a little more is because I enjoy the browsing aspect. If they hinder that, I'll just go with the cheaper online prices.

Yeah, I agree, although I already buy online.

I wish theft weren't such a huge issue in this country. I absolutely hate those completely sealed, impossible to open plastic packages that everything comes in these days. I remember importing a DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller from Japan, and the backing was just a piece of cardboard that I was able to untape and slide right out.
