EBGames is stupid...

[uuaww]

Ok, so I went and bought Area 51 when it was $30, pretty sweet deal, suppose to come with MAT 2. I get an email shortly saying that they ran out of MAT 2 and heres a $10 coupon. Sweetness. So yesterday I finally get Area 51 and inside is MAT 1. Yeah, ok, sweetness? Sure, free games are pretty cool.

This would be better if I knew what MAT was.

Midway Arcade Treasures, if I'm not mistaken.

Ahh, I see. Don't know what's on it, but free is free, right?

And here I thought this was going to be a typical complaint thread Good deal.

 

[uuaww]

[alfonsosoriano]

I thought it was going to be some dumb complaining thread like OMG DIDN'T COME WITH MANUAL STUPID EBGAMES!

 

[WeaponX2099]

They have history of Dumb shit like that. Bad for Them, good for you.

guess what I could have had a free gba game today at EBGames!!! I pick up a carying case for my gba, ok? And... I unzip it to check it out and metal slug advance is in the pouch!! I thought someone ws probably going to steal it so i gave it to the employee on duty cause I would have a guilty consience if i didn't, so anyways. When I give it to the employee he says "Oh, that's weird but it doesn't belong to us, I don't think?" AHHHHH... WTF?!?!?

 

[rocksolidaudio]

good customer service = stupid? i think it's pretty clear who's stupid in this thread...

 

[tdphillips]

I think every single member of CAG should start a thread about EB being stupid or morons.

Wow! You should insert this in every thread on the deals page... Oh dang, you've already started!!!

 

[snotnose_colossal]

id rather have MAT1 than 2 anyway, but EB does stuff like this all the time, someone in another thread got an eyetoylay for $6 cause they ordered a game only but it came complete

Ok, let's get one thing straight: this isn't stupid. In fact, I think EB did a pretty good job of making up for not having MAT2 in stock. Sure, you didn't get MAT2, but you got another game and a coupon - that's pretty damn cool in my book.
