-
Sweet. Been wanting to check that one out
-
Not bad. They really should've allowed us to choose though.
-

-
Yea, that really dicks over people that already bought it.
-
Good thing I didn't buy it, then. :-*
-
Is this for gold only or everyone?

I was a beer away from buying this, Omega Five and Metal Slug 3 last night. For once I'm glad I passed out a little early.

Yea, I've been holding out on Omega 5 and Heavy Weapon. You know what, I said before that anything less than an 800 point game of our choice is not enough. So fuck them. Even though it works fine for me, I would've rather got either of those two games for free and the people that already bought it are screwed.

Now you guys know how I felt with Carcassone.

What about Carcassone? I can get it for free?
-
It was free for like a week.
-
:(
-
... you're fucking kidding me
-
lol owned
(some dudes on GAF are saying if you call up to complain they'll "take care of you")
-
Major Nelson comment: "If you have already purchased the game, you can contact support and they will take care of you."
I take that back then
-
Yay, Undertow. I've been meaning to get that.
-
Fuck, I gotta download it next week? My internet is down at home and won't be back for a bit.
I guess I'll have to take my Box up to my friend's house and dl it there.
-
I was going to buy this and then I remembered Advent Rising :yuck
Remind me to kick you in the dick next month
-
Now you guys know how I felt with Carcassone.
I paid for it too, and have yet to even play it once. What kind of loser does that make me? Is there even a word for behaviour like this?

-
LOL Halo theme wait song
-
any luck demi? this distinguished mentally-challenged fellow on the phone says theres supposed to be 2 games being offered as choices and they even asked me to check the marketplace today to make sure. SMH ::) :maf :-\
-
I'm still on wait, I mentioned that people have been getting reimbused for the price of the game for already owning it
-
cool, don't have undertow
to be honest, i haven't even bothered to redownload any of my old xbox live arcade games since i got my replacement 360
-
Hahaha, I got some noob "I'm fairly new here"
I'm like "listen my friend called earlier and they gave him the 800 points, i'd like that and i'll be out of your hair"
-
okay i said fuck it, hung up and called back... i got some cool dude on the line w/ me right now and he's handling this shit the way it's supposed to be handled.
-
He read me some update on their thing, and apparently they have no "answer" for this question, so support is CLUELESS as usual
durrr im gonna talk to my manager
-
the guy i'm talking to right now acknowledged that in fact they were doing something to reimburse people. he said that this is a "NEW" issue but it should be no problem once he confirms the transaction with his supervisor. i'm on hold now, so we'll see.
update: *sigh* what a pain in the ass. so now they're saying to call back tomorrow to check on the "status" of the transaction and that everything should be worked out by then. this is bullshit.
-
I'd imagine they are getting flogged with calls now about this so they're all in a frenzy
-
I'd imagine they can tell what games you buy so its easy to tell if you are lying
Also, I'm being forwarded to a SUPERVISOR :eek
-
I got shot down, blah blah blah we arent briefed, heres a reference number blah
-
No it was a noobie american intern guy or something
-
I was going to buy this and then I remembered Advent Rising :yuck
Same here.
