[quote name='wubb']True, the FW meltdown is not a rare occurence, but it should make for some excitement there. Plus I'm sure quite a few FWers will make some insistent phone calls to EB. Maybe they'll crack under the pressure.
News hasn't really hit on there yet though. Somebody posted the word from CAG on the end of their deal thread. Might turn out that the deal didn't interest enough FWers for it to really make a ripple there. *shrug*
Anyway, I'm truly shocked EB didn't decide to suck it up and send out the $20 rebate codes since the customers merely honored the terms of their own deal. EB has been great to CAG as a whole, but this move (if it truly goes down this way) really hurts them IMO. If they try to pull some explanation that the form has some language that gives them an out. (Typographical errors are not the resp. of EB for example.) I'd have to call BS as they've done some FAR or better deals using the same form and it's pretty poor to change the rules of the game on their customers like that.[/QUOTE]
Excited FW folks are nothing new, though their reactions are truly a study in chaos theory.

Their force alone might get EB to crack or tell us all to get

The text on the rebate doesn't mention about price for purchase, though we've all discussed that down to the nth degree. The CS-friendly approach to is honor it, and be more picky about the rebate forms in the future. There's no wiggle room on it for them saying that there's an out for them, though, yes, they have done better with the very same form.
I'm faxing my stuff to them this evening and hopefully, that should generate some activity on mine. And others, if I'm lucky.
