I know money can be exchanged for goods and services, I've seen the Simpson's episode.

*Homer drops peanut into couch*
"Do'h!"
*Homer digs in couch but only finds a $20 bill. Homer is disappointed*
*Cloud appears over Homer's head with a Homer face in it.*

"Wait! Don't throw it away! Money can be exchanged for goods and services!"

"Money equals more peanuts?"

"Yes!"

"Woo-hoo!"

But at my EB, they're FFXI idiots. They don't even know about the PC release date talks. So they won't allow it. Such idiots.
