Just be more specific next time. A site down means completely down to me and possibly others. I was thinking between the time of the site's "down" posts... It got updated but logging in was a specific problem to me. But whatever... thanks for being the online jerk of the day. Nothing new to me.

No problem.

I only troll a person once in a blue moon, and you are the lucky winner this time.

Congratulations!

True colors...

Squares, play nice =D

After all my complaining about their shipping charges, followed by me placing an order anyway, I almost feel like I can never criticize hastings again. I'm very interested in what the new sale will be.

I'll just bitch about them freely, then. Buy 2 get 1 for 40% off is a horrible sale for video games. If you buy three $10 games, you spend $26 instead of $30. :(

I almost never buy anything other than books from these guys, and so I'm hoping for a 30%/40% off used books sale. Their decent prices, wide selection, and free shipping on all books make them fairly unbeatable in that department.

Same. I bought a bunch of books during the spring sale. I want to get some more.

every sale should have a note saying "select credit cards only"

I wonder how many thousands of dollars in sales they've lost because their site is down?

I know I just defended them for being a somewhat small enterprise, but something like keeping your website up and operational is within their control because they can pay for quality hosting, servers, and a web design/maintenance team. But seeing how poorly constructed their current website is, it doesn't look like they're spending in the right areas when it comes to internet retail.

Two of my three games from the used sale have shipped (Skylanders PS3 and Fortune Street). Still waiting on Disneyland Kinect.

Has nobody posted the deal yet for today and tomorrow?


33% off all used books, movies, CDs, and Video Games!


Seems pretty good to me.

Sweet. I'm going to pick up some more books.

Does anyone know the return policy on books? If I get one and it is bent, torn, etc. can I send it back for a full refund?

I'm sure that a certain condition isn't guaranteed for used books. Some of my books were a bit bent. Really a couple bucks for a each book justifies the condition.

What's your source for this? Their website is still showing as having a system error. At any rate I've updated the OP in case this is true.

Edit: Just got the email, but the site is still down

I just got the e-mail about the promo and it does seem to be true as the promo code for it is SIDESHOWBOB.

Dying to check my wish list and see if anything good is in stock....wait and see, wait and see.

I've bought nearly a hundred games from them, all came in good condition except for the one I received recently. Armored Core 4 for came in a rental box but had instructions and disc was flawless. I will continue to use them to fill out my collection because of these frequent discounts!

Can anyone check out at all?
