I was kinda looking forward to RSD and now I feel sad.

Reseller jerks are a sad fact of Seattle life - witness the hordes of day laborer scanner trolls at the SPL Friends of the Library sales, buying anything of value based on the UPC code alone.

gotta get that money, any way you can.

I like the idea of RSD, and appreciate the focus on independent retailers.

I haven't actually gone, mostly because I have no interest in any of those weird limited edition doorbuster things. Fine if you're into that, great if it helps keep the stores in business. I try to go on some of the other 364 days of the year, when the stores actually need the sales.
