Today I went to a music shop, Dawsons to be precise. They're a chain and sell all sorts of musical instruments. I knew exactly what I wanted and had done research for prices online. I made a spreadsheet. I took a printout of the spreadsheet into the shop with me.
Hello, I said, I'd like this guitar and this amp, and this is how much I can get it for online. Can you match it?
The guy serving me was young and very nice, he had to ask the manager. The manager, rather dismissively, said he wouldn't match the two lowest prices because those shops weren't "bricks and mortar", they were web based shops. However he would match one of the shops that was "bricks and mortar", knocking £29 off the guitar. I could get it £5 cheaper online but thought I'd let it pass.
Next: gig bag and guitar lead. The gig bag was £15 more expensive than online. I asked them to match it, the manager said no.
So all in all I could get the package £20 cheaper online. Sorry, I said. I'll get it online. The guy serving me was helpless and said sorry, then goodbye.
I left and bought it online at GAK. After all £20 is four packs of strings.
How strange that a shop would say no to me spending a few hundred quid for the sake of twenty quid. Of course I don't know their margins, perhaps they would be making a loss selling it to me for that price? It seems unlikely though. Either way, why would I buy it there and not online?

For a while now, Phong's been hosting these retro gaming nights at his place. We've used to play the bejeebus out of a bunch of classic fighting games from the 1990's, and last Wednesday, I dare say, we played the most God-like game in existence: Jackie Chan's Fists of Fire.
I want to give this game a proper review later, since these posts are usually reserved for something else. I've got more games lined up that I want to share with you guys, so look forward to them! I'll have to think of a related title later, but for now it's definitely going to be about those old arcade fighters from the last decade.
Pretty good week for news! Lots of good stuff to pick and choose from. My philosophy to posting these links is to "make people smile." If it's funny and interesting to you, read it! That's why I created this blog after all :)
And as always, you can check out the full list of links on my delicious page.
