I stopped by EB on my way home from work last night expecting to pick up a game and pay off my Halo 2 preorder and put a few bucks down on Ghost Recon 2.
First off let me start by saying Nancy pre-ordered
Ultra Bust a Move back in September since it was supposted to coming out Oct 10th, then it moved to Oct 25th then to Nov 1st. Well it shipped sometime with in the last couple days. I stopped in to pick it up (They never called like they promised) gave them the info to look it up in the computer and they started to grab the game. They only had
open fucking games.
Who the fuck sell open boxes as new games? Who opens someone pre-ordered game that was already paid for? The high school monkey behind the counter mubbled something about "They only sent us three games and it's company policy to display the games"
Well, Mother Fuckers,
ONLY OPEN ONE COPY AND PUT THAT ON THE SHELF!! Better yet buy and
empty box from the publisher. I'm not paying full price for an open game and after I pick up Halo 2 I'm not going back to EB.
I've got a complaint in to the district manager, and I got a full refund. Ordered it only from walmart.com, should be here in a week. The only reason we pre-ordered it is because we knew this game wasn't going to be popular so we wanted to make sure that a copy would be waiting for us, un-molested by teenage disk scraching hand.
Here I was planning on walking into EB and hand over $92.35 (the ballance of my H2 pre-order and a full payment for Ghost recon 2 + taxes) and only walk away with a $19.99 + tax game of Bust-a-move. Instead because of them opening the games I walked out of the store with $23 and somechange ($19.99 + tax).
Summary: EB Games Sucks. I'm done shopping there.
