Bebop: The price of Micros at GSes around here is 89.99 for the time being. They've got signs up all over the place and there's no mention that it does/does not include the 20th version. So it should have been that price regardless. Plus the coupon clearly says "games" and doesn't mention systems. I can see where an employee would make that mistake but ehh. The receipt would say "used coupon" instead of "New Micro Sys," right? At least I would think so...
Anyway, good news. I found a nice GS employee.
Went back to the GS and there was a girl working there. I think she was the one I opened up my More card with, and she gave me some freebies one time (preorder stuff in my tradelist). Explained to her what had happened. She opened up the box and couldn't find it either. (She also took out the Micro and said "I just had to see it" and smiled and giggled, heh.) Anyway she said she'd take care of it and asked me if I knew which game I'd get with it. I said FFIV, which releases on the 12th. She said to just come back on the 14th when she'd be working again and that she'd take care of it. So I pre-ordered the game and I'll go back on Wednesday to finish it off. Her tag said she was a manager so I guess it's something she can handle. She also said she wouldn't leave it to the guys working because they'd screw it up.
So all in all, I guess no harm done. Irritating to say the least and people confirming it was indeed the sticker made me unhappy, but I guess it worked out.
Additionally, she asked me for my e-mail address and said she'd forward her monthly 10% off coupons to me. So here's hoping to that.
Maybe I'll put them up for contests on here or something occassionally if she continues to do that. Time will tell!
I will note that other 20th Anniv. boxes in the glass case did *not* have the red sticker, which we (gf and I) noticed immediately. Also the e-mail from Nintendo threw me off gaurd. I'm going to e-mail that person back and say it is taken care of.
P.S. No magazine racks were hurt during said events. Everything else you hear is a LIE. A DAMN DIRTY LIE FROM DAMN DIRTY LIARS.
