Title: loot crate subscription
Post by: Dergatron9000 on October 22, 2013, 03:43:37 AM
Does anyone here subscribe to loot crate? I was thinking about it but being canadian it's double the price. I understand shipping cost more but how do they justify charging more for the physical contents?

never heard of it, but anywhere that double prices on stuff like that is probably not a good place

What it is is a box full of random nerdy stuff they deliver every month. For 20 bucks I'd totally do it. But 40 is pushing it...

I just checked it out.

Some nifty stuff in them but nothing i would be consistently interested in getting delivered. Plus it doesn't seem like the stuff would be resellable for a profit if it was a box full of shit you were not interested in.

The idea is cool but I'm kind of a minimalist (except for the video games ;) and if there is one thing I don't need, it's a box of clutter showing up every month.  Even if it is cool, geeky clutter.

Great idea (think I remember the guy at X-Entertainment doing this years ago), but I'd hate to think what my wife would do to me by the time the second box showed up...

If it was 50% video game I would bother, but that is only because I like discovering new stuff (new being a relative term for something I haven't played yet).

Saw Boogie cover it and to me it's a hoarders dream. Random shit in a box every month. What i saw was mostly crap. Personally don't want my place filling up with random junk. Esp when space is an issue.

Agreed. Looks like a novel idea, but my wife would kill me with a capital K!
