Membership at The Score: Gaming's Secret Weapon
As more of our customers explore our monthly and annual membership options, seemed like a good opportunity to blog about the value that a Score Membership provides.
For $29.99 a month, or $199.99 a year, you get:
- Double ScorePoints(TM) when you play games, trade-in or buy games, have parties at The Score, or even for making good grades!
- Half price on in-store gaming, even in The Arena(TM)!
- Half price on video game rentals from The Score (typically $6 for 5 days, you can rent games for just $3 for 5 days! Compared to $8 for 5 days at Blockbuster.)
- Pre-order video games at wholesale prices through The Score!
- 10% extra trade-in credit when you trade in used games and systems!
- Make reservations at The Score for in-store gaming. (Feature only available for members...helps ensure you don't show up wanting to play and not have space!)
It's quite possible to fully return your membership investment with just one of these features, but with all of them combined? It's gaming's secret weapon.

Thoughts from MTAC...
The Score was present and accounted for at MTAC this past weekend at the Music City Sheraton, running tournaments and selling (a lot of) games.
Very well run event, especially considering its size (between 4,000 and 5,000 attendees). I was impressed with the operations - everything seemed to flow pretty smoothly and a lot of potential problems had been thought of and dealt with well ahead of time.
We got to introduce a lot of new Nashvillians to The Score throughout the weekend, which was probably the most important part.
All in all, a great time! Looking forward to heading back out there next year.

The Day After...a post-mortem on The Score's April Fool's Day press releases
The responses from yesterday's April Fool's press releases was great! Thanks for the emails - some of you are much funnier than we are.
We're big fans of Tim McGraw's down here at The Score, so he was a natural fit for our Guitar Hero release. There are plenty of 'inside' references to his music within the press release, and we even decided to have the game's fictitious release date be the first of May - his birthday.
Lots of you enjoyed this one.
The enthusiasm was strong, but not as strong, for the GameSlop buying simulator. We understand why - any reminder of spending big, huge piles of money at another retailer, completely unnecessarily, is painful!
In all seriousness, we're glad our little jokes were enjoyed by our customers and our potential customers out there in Nashville and Franklin. Look for us to raise the bar next year with something equally as forced, and not nearly as funny!
Until next time...signing off so we can go run the video game tournaments at MTAC, as well as get ready for this weekend's birthday parties and special groups coming in. Later.

Guitar Hero: Tim McGraw and the GameSlop Buying Simulator
Click on the graphics on the front of TheScoreOnline.com for today's huge reports.
Guitar Hero: Tim McGraw is the first Score exclusive title, meaning that the only place it will be released in the entire world is The Score of Cool Springs. Amazing!
Burning Big Huge Piles of Money, which is the new GameSlop buying simulator that lets you re-live experiences buying video games somewhere else other than The Score, is also scheduled for release. Predictably, The Score will carry this game cheaper than everywhere else, just like most other titles!
Wow! Two amazing stories on the first of April!

COD4 and Halo Wars Leagues - UPDATE
Due to some confusion over these leagues, we are delaying the start of both leagues for one week so we can get more people signed up.
Allow us to answer some concerns about these leagues:
Are these national leagues? Is this like the previous Gears of War 2 and Halo 3 Leagues?
No. These are local, Nashville leagues that The Score of Cool Springs operates. We run the leagues and we give the prizes, which are in-store credit for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
So how does this work exactly?
Get a partner, or we'll match you with one, and compete as a two-person team against other two-person teams in Nashville. You'll have one match a week as you try to amass the best record you can and get into the playoffs for your league.
Each league has a West and East division (which we assign) as well as a Regular Season MVP, voted on by every player in the league as well as Score staff. Good times!
What if there's a great team in the league that we know we can't beat?
Just like in sports, all that matters is getting into the playoffs. Then, anything can happen! (Ask the Titans.)
Really, it's all about having fun and being part of a group. This isn't MLG. This is for everyone.
I don't have $29.99 to be in the league.
Then bring any used Xbox 360 game (just not any sports game) and get into either the Halo Wars or Call of Duty 4 League for just $6.
But I want to be in both leagues, not just one.
Then bring 2 used Xbox 360 games and get into both leagues for $6 each. Or, better yet, bring 3 used Xbox 360 games and get into both leagues FOR FREE.
Will I get ScorePoints for being in these leagues?
Definitely. You'll get 2 ScorePoints for each win, and 1 ScorePoint for each loss, that you accumulate during the leagues.
When are these leagues again?
Call of Duty League is each Monday in March and April, while the Halo Wars League is each Tuesday in March and April. Both begin next week.
What if I'm busy on those days?
We will be flexible in scheduling matches for each week, even using Sunday afternoons for matches as necessary to accommodate busy spring schedules.
What if the leagues don't get more people in them than they have now?
We'll cancel them and try again to do local gaming leagues as we get closer to the summer.
When is the deadline to sign up?
Sunday, March 15, by 4 PM Central. You have to sign up in-store at The Score of Cool Springs - it can't be done online.
Is there really any excuse not to be part of these leagues?
No! :) They're great fun and allow you to meet other gamers who like COD4 and Halo Wars, as well as compete for great prizes!
Email us with any other questions, and hope to see you in one or both of the Spring leagues at The Score!

One Month Anniversary!
Dear great city of Nashville,
Thanks for all of the support during this first month of business. Thanks to the Tennessean for kicking things off with a great article for us, the community rallying around the business, and for all of our customers buying games, tournament entry fees, league passes, and food/drink from us at a pace surpassing what we had originally projected.
We know many of you by name. We want to know many more of you by name, and we want you to know each other by name. We're about the creation of a community around video games, and as many of you can attest, the pursuit of our mission:
Being the best place to buy or play a video game.
Period.
Here's to kicking off another month of our pursuit.
Thanks again.
Bradley and the staff of The Score of Cool Springs
