for the 1 billionth time. change the quantity in your cart to 99 and they have less than 99 it will automatically change to the amount they have.

That sounds like a strange thing to trade. A .99 cent GH copy of Tekken 1? Hmmm. Can't see the value in it.

Youd be surprised... www.tradegamesnow.com is an excellent site, and being that I collect older games I'm sure to at least get a few NES gamed for one thus making my .99 a good investment. :)

How long does it take Eb to send an email after you place an order. The website was not acting right when I placed an order. I did get to check out. When I logged into My Orders, there was no record of this order.
I got my confirmation about 5-10 minutes after the purchase.

It depends. When I ordered this game, I got the email instantaneously. It literally came in while I was printing the confirmation page. However, I ordered another item from them about 45 minutes later and never received an email. So YMMV I guess.

In reply to the letter I recieved I submitted this.
I understand that sometimes you do not recieve product that you think you should, but I have a few questions. First off, why did you put this item on the website in the first place, if you did not order any new ones? Second, Why do you have to have a cold un-caring scripted letter, you could have at least offered to upgrade to another product or given me some kind of coupon code for future purchases (this is a good idea because what makes you think I would ever order from you again). Third, If you ever carry this Item again the way that you scripted this letter as opposed to the print out I had of this game at 0.99 means that this was false advertisement. obviously not good for your image if someone or as I know quite a few people that got screwed out of this deal, decided to use it against you. For such A big company you would think that these glitches which your site seems to keep having would be nil. In closing I would like to state that there are ways of handling things and just canceling an order because you don't want to lose money is not one of them.
I do not believe any of you will recieve this game because I placed my order before most of you. If this is the case you should submit a similar letter with your concerns about a large company screwing the people they should be trying to do anything to keep.

I ordered a copy of Tekken and some other games. I did not get an email and when I clicked on my orders there was no record of the games that I had ordered. I emailed them and they told me that Tekken was backordered. They said it must be a glitch in the system that is preventing me from seeing my order that I had placed.

Did you guys honestly expect EB to take a $10 loss on this game PLUS shipping costs?! Some deals are just too good to be true. It doesn't even make sense for EB to buy copies of the game for resale when there's like 5 better sequels to the original. Somebody screwed up, it happens.
EB is probably one of, if not the, best internet retailers I've had to deal with. Most other places require you to place a minimum order of $25 or $50 to get free shipping, if they even offer it. The rest just kill you on shipping.

i honestly thought i was getting it for .99
i was looking forward to this for weeks. All i wanted to do was play the original Tekken this weekend. Now I can't.
I hate EB and all big name video game resellers who get the little people's hopes up.
I'm just trying to make a dollar out of fifty cents.
