Future-Stupid?


By Swag - Posted on 09 November 2009

So you may remember here that Future-Shop was offering CoD:MW2 for 49.99$ and I managed to get one.

However, since the server time stamp was wrong it thought that I ordered it the day before, so I got tentatively charged full price. I then call customer support to get them to change it and they do, but the change won't be reflected until the item ships.

But today I check the order and the price has changed, but not to 49.99$ or 69.99$...

I'll wait till tomorrow, but it looks like I'll have to call those retards again.

I just don't know if they will have copies in store tomorrow.

This is not like the amateurish Borderlands fiasco. There were plenty of copies for the 200+ people lined up at each store at midnight, there will be plenty more around. Even Zellers had stock today.

In retrospect I think it's fitting as I probably shouldn't be playing a War game on a remembrance day.

However, I am still so angry that I am going to eat this 90% cocoa dark chocolate that I bought for 2$. Take that Canada post.

Stupid Canada post!

I swear that when I get this game I am going to KILL SOMEONE..............in the game.

Just trade in 2 games at Rogers Video. Here is the list of eligible titles. For some reason there are some in the flyer that aren't showing up on the website, like GTA4. They took it today no problem. They have also added Call of Jaurez: Bound in Blood and Killzone 2 as valid trades.

I will even get you started with Quantum of Solace for just $20!

1. Grab old crappy game off your shelf
2. Grab QoS from Coxxorz
3. Trade in for MW2 at Rogers
4. ???
5. Profit!

I have a spare game that qualifies for the Trade 2 Get MW2 Free promo at Rogers if you want it. $20. Stupid Snuffy.

But I will wait.

I actually enjoy giving my money to developers, believe it or not (even though I think games are overpriced, but that's another discussion).

Coxxorz's picture

Developers get the same money, no matter how much any given person spends on it. It just means less profit for the reseller. Only suckers pay full retail.

and I do hate Robbers, Future-shit, etc.
