So, I've saved a good amount of cash to just blow on a new console, a 360. I was just waiting for the best deal. Future Shop had it, a 360 pro, with Forza 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and the bonus of Two Worlds and Halo 3. I went out to buy it, and here we are, we've got the console. The red shirted kid hands us over... Two Worlds. And out of a basket full of them on top of a sealed box marked with Two Worlds on the side. They "couldn't find" Halo 3. It was apparently lost in some corner of the store in a box. He said that I could get a rain check on it, and so off we went to buy the 360. We get to the register, and it's news to them that the guy's telling people to get rainchecks. We ask for a raincheck, the ywaffle, we grab a flyer and point out Halo 3. So the joker writes down a raincheck for Forza 2. Wtf?
So we head back to the squeaky kid, and he consults with three other kids with red shirts, and then his boss, who's shaved bald and even younger than him, and he says that they're out of stock, no raincheck, that's it. Bullshit. So we take the 360, and head to EB Games to pick up some games for it that didn't suck. I got Halo 3, because that was the game I wanted, Gun, and my brother got some other game. I used Store credit, and we got a play and charge kit, another controller, and those games, all on store credit, so we were out the door laughing.
Still, the idiots screwed me over. They had plenty of Two Worlds, of course, but they conveniently "lost" their Halo 3 games, and just screwed us out of a $59.99 game with no effort to fix their own stupid mistakes, and nothing to satisfy paying customers. Greedy bastards. At least I didn't shell out the extra cash for their bullshit warranty services.
Anyone else get screwed over by Future Shop?
