just sharing a little story with you fine ladies and gents in this community.
one of my jobs is working for blockbuster. my store, not being a "game rush" store, doesnt allow us to pre-order games. so, i went to another store that does allow it, but only to their own employees. i asked a friend there to please let me pre-order NBA Live 07 (360) on her account. she said ok, as long as i paid it in full and didnt leave a balance on her account. this was a few months ago.
so, today, when i went to get the game it of course wasnt there. it isnt anywhere in my town except best buy. now, the manager of this blockbuster store wont give me my cash back so that i can go purchase the game at best buy. he will only give me in-store credit. i locked myself into buying a game from a company i work for, and they wont get it til this friday or maybe later. im pissed. i considered buying the game at best buy, then returning the blockbuster copy to best buy, unopened, after i recieve it. dont different stores have unique UPC codes on thier games? this probably wont work. so, i guess i'll just bend over and take it in the ass. i wish EA would fucking ship thier games to every one at the same time. this is bullshit. i even took 2 days off just so i can play the game. now, by the time i get it, on friday.... i will have to work the next 5 days straight. so, i wont get a chance to really play this thing til.... next wednesday!
end rant.
thank you.
