[quote name='NWgamer666']First off- I'm not butt hurt that my purchases at Liongames have been posted for all to see, it's not like I ordered stuff from Big Al's discount pocket pussys and had that paraded around. But others might not take so kindly to that in the future. Yes, I have only purchased the heavily discounted titles, and I have said as much in this thread previously.
A rebuttal: As a 360 only owner, what used xbox 360 game should I buy? I already own TES4, RB6:V, Gears, Bioshock (thank you, btw), H3, Orange Box, GH3, What must have used game do you have that I am missing out on? If I don't want to buy it, i've likely already rented it. Maybe Virtua fighter or condemned, but those just don't grab me and say BUY BUY BUY. Should I buy one just to donate to the Liongames cause and celebrate group consumerism just because? I just don't see a used title I must have, that is cheapest on your site, which I haven't already bought elsewhere. It's not necessarily Tony's fault, but more the state of the 360 library. Maybe in a few months when AC6 drops in price (generally, not your site specifically), I'll buy it from you, if you make it worth the wait of shipping.
As for Tony's stalwart defense of the discount card - good on you to stick to your guns. I was merely expressing my displeasure at your new savings plan. I won't be participating for the following concerns:
1. I like to get certain new games on release date. Waiting for ME in the mail will likely drain much of my lifeforce. I have a waiting vs. savings equasion in my head, and I can only be patient for single player games with no online component. Buying into an internet retailer's plan could end up being wasted funds if I just go a copy of the next anticipated game at a B&M, rather than used my discount card. Therefore, I don't see myself using the membership enough to justify it's purchase.
2. The elephant in the room which I will bring up - Liongames buisness longevity. It was a question put to rest last dec-febuary. Now, you seem solid and established, but there is no safety net for your site which would assure me that you wouldn't split holding a bunch of 25 dollar paypal membership fees, failing to provide discounted games in the future.
I get nothing but a promise of discounts for the life of the card in return for a membership fee, but for my game preorder, I have a date by which an item must be delivered, effectively assuring me of a fulfilled or unfulfilled contract - which I could take some action on if broken. It's a risk reward for me, and the reward for prepurchase of a discount card is quite small, wheras the reward for preorder of this falls hottest games at a discount is much greater.
It's a credit to your prices and service that I still want your business to succeed, despite being called out on the internet by the owner for not purchasing enough/the right items.
Suggestion: Keep the Bioshock/H3 preorder discount the same, but offer it on one title each year.[/quote]
NWGAmer666, First of all I must say classy post. Secondly I did not call you out for not buying enough games or not buying the right items. I called you out for what i felt was stong words or negative words. I felt that the words being turned off weren't quite right. My point is why bother to make the negative post. I would have rather have you say to yourself. The card is not for me, I got a few good deals in the past so I think I will refrain with from the negative connotations. That is all, that was my whole point. Anyway since you here, I also know what I did wasn't using my best judgement, and I am Sorry about that, and sorry if I offended you in any way.
Tony
