Lame ass EB

Postby MMmmGood » Mon Aug 02, 2004 6:11 pm

So I walk into my local EB 15 minutes before 7pm to pick up a copy of Doom3.

I ask the guy if I have to wait 15 minutes before he can sell it to me, which he answers yes because he'll get fined. Thats cool.

He then asks me if I pre-ordered. I said no. He then goes to tell me that he only has enough copies to cover his pre-orders.

Who doesnt order enough copies to put one of the biggest games of the year on their shelves?

Moron.

Becuase they are limited by the corporation to buy only the certain amount by pre-orders.

I preordered from EB. I walked in there about an hour ago to see if I could pick it up today, and they said I had to come back tomorrow after 3pm. This sucks.

MmmGood, that is the reason why I never go to EB or Gamestop because of that BS.

I got sick and tired of goin there, only to be told "Dude, you need to pre-order, it's only 5 bucks, blah, blah, blah" :ar15:

Go to Fry's Electronics, Best Buy, Circuit City, hell even Wal-Mart. They should have plenty of copies.

But they only give out pre-order copies first.
