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.

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

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2008, 03:28:17 PM »

Yay, Undertow. I've been meaning to get that.

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?

demi · « **Reply #29 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:08:02 PM »

I'm still on wait, I mentioned that people have been getting reimbused for the price of the game for already owning it

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #30 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:13:06 PM »

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

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:13:38 PM »

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"

hyp · « **Reply #32 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:18:09 PM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #33 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:19:07 PM »

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

hyp · « **Reply #34 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:21:43 PM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #35 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:25:14 PM »

I'd imagine they are getting flogged with calls now about this so they're all in a frenzy

demi · « **Reply #36 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:28:30 PM »

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

demi · « **Reply #37 on:** January 18, 2008, 05:34:01 PM »

I got shot down, blah blah blah we arent briefed, heres a reference number blah
