Vig - I want a refund for the Sony Slaptm.  Please.

Sony rep - Okay let me check your account.

Sony rep - Huh...

Sony rep - fuck you asshole you have thousands of dollars in credit you dont need any more.  In fact we are closing your account now and taking all this money cause its obvious you did something illegal.  Good day.

 
It's surprising to me how many people (even young people) struggle with creating meetings and scheduling using Microsoft Outlook. It couldn't possibly be easier. But I constantly get invites, then get them canceled, then get new ones, then get them canceled, until my outbox is just filled with requests and cancelations that I have to sift through.

 
I think I said this before, but I have absolutely no interest in the Borderlands franchise.  Played it for like 5 minutes on a friends 360 and said, "fuck this nonsense!"  It had a really great story and the choices actually changed the ending of the game for once.  Unless you just absolutely hate the Telltale formula I do not see how you would not get $3.75 worth of fun out of it.  I know most aren't trophy nuts like me, but it is one example where playing it again can be fun since you can end up with a completely different cast of characters at the end with different choices.

 
I went back to Walmart to get my PS+ card situation fixed. I started at Returns and the first thing the lady says to me is "I can't accept these because they are already scratched off". I calmly stated I know but only 2 of the 5 are scratched off and I want them activated not returned. She calls an assistant manager in and they both seem clueless as to what to do. They then ask me where I bought them and I said online from Walmart.com. They tell me that online should have activated the cards but I explained it says at the register right on the card. Point of sale or pickup? I assume pickup as theft would be possible if it was activated at purchase. Besides, these weren't shipped to store at all, they pulled them from their shelves! They ask for the order number and I tell them they should have it. I then get that old familiar "online and stores aren't the same thing" crap which usually translates to "call Walmart.com'. I tell them I didn't see why I need that now when I didn't need that when I picked them up.I don't want to drive back home and then come back and wait in line again. Several times throughout this I ask "can't you just activate them?!?!?!.

Sooooo...I grab my cards and receipt and storm off talking loudly to myself saying plenty of expletives and flipping off every ceiling camera I see as I make my way back to ship-to-store where I got them last week. I explain my predicament to the girl at the counter and a minute later the same assistant manager pops in. He explains to me that if he makes a call it will be about 45 minutes to an hour on phone sorting this out. I say "so you want me to waste 45 mintues to an hour so you don't have to?". I ask him if I can do a return at least with the 3 that aren't scratched off? He says he can but when he tries to it says cards can't be returned due to not being activated! Well at least now I feel a bit vindicated since it's now established that these cards were never activated, but now I'm screwed. I'm going to have to waste time and make a call and hope that I can get this resolved. Christmas is cancelled, no presents for anyone.

At that moment, assistant manager gets an idea. He says to the girl "what if I created a balance on a gift card and then rebuy these...that would activate them right? The girl says maybe. I'm clueless as to how I can't return them but I can rebuy them but nonetheless this sounds good to me. He makes a $35 gc and somehow that works and the receipt prints out 3 activation codes. Holy shit it worked! As we all revel in the good fortune and success of this, I say to them "hey, if this worked with those 3 why wouldn't it work with the other 2 I scratched off?" After an awkward pause so he could think of a reason why it wouldn't work, he realized yeah that probably would work. Boom another 2 cards activated! He also let me keep the 2 giftcards he created to rebuy them and they each have about $3 on them.

So, all you little boys and girls...the Walmart Grinch is indeed alive and well. Shopping there still sucks and for the most part ship-to-store is a terrible, terrible thing that rarely runs smoothly. But on this day, oh on this day I was victorious!

I do believe that the Walmart Grinch's heart grew a few sizes today.

Borderlands (2 is the best best by far) the game is awesome tho. You just suck at games confirmed.

I agree with you for $3.75 it is no brainer unless you HATE Telltale games.

If any of you guys attempt to get a refund through chat, be ready to upload an image of the $3.75 price. Thankfully the chat window has an Upload function, so it's easy to screencap and upload.

 
The chat has been around for quite a while. I had to use it a couple of times back when the store was glitchy and would charge you for PS+ purchases if you weren't careful. Never had any issues, though they always said it would take a few days for the refund to go back to your account/cc/whatever and the game to be removed. Usually happened pretty quick for me, though.

I've also seen people post successfully about refunds for price changes on reddit and such, so I know they've done it for that in the past.

I am so glad my online order for two was promptly canceled because they are fucken retarded and couldn't process credit cards. Also glad I decided wait for BB to do a year at $40. A couple years ago I did walmart.com ship to store and it was a cluster fuck. Not nearly as bad as yours though.

Now I wait for Carlos to talk to his supervisor...

EDIT: Apparently they're going to give me a $5 voucher because I "am a very special gamer for [them]" (no, seriously). Free $1.25 WOO!

AT&T has the hottest spokeswoman chick in the world, so the do a lame ass clay animation commercial with her? Common son!
I always had a soft spot for her (I always assumed she had a phat ass and big tetas hiding under that smart ATT shirt). She is cute. But hottest in the world? There have to be a ton of slutty hot Telemundo/Univision spanish chicks hocking shit that blow her out of the water. #commons son

I buy almost nothing from psn sales but I too bought that telltale Borderlands. I knew I could probably rent a gameshare for peanuts but what the hell I bought it. fuck !

 
Man this chick gets me 5 im definitely buying TFTB on ps3 too then.

espeically after gator commented about story can actually change in it.

 
Now someone just started randomly singing loudly by themselves. Then pretended to apologize for it. "oh sorry, I didn't realize..."

This fucking place man. Legitimately a goddamn circus. 

 
Oh I thought Tales from the Borderlands was Ps3 only since so many of you were talking about it on PS3. I'll buy some #commons on PS4!
I bought the PS3 season pass because I planned on getting a physical version for PS4 if one ever materialized, but at $6.25 for both (assuming this $5 code comes through), I can live with two digital versions.

 
It would be Vig that got a $5 credit. Just take your slap and be happy asshole.

I think I'll buy Borderlands and just hold off on Game of Thrones for now.

Edit: shit a $10 credit? Vig you really are an asshole.

Edit2: you too kilik

But is it any good?
Supposed to be, when I read and watched reviews the last time it was on sale it sounds interesting. You are a bit of a rogue criminal when gangsters take your loved ones the only way to get them back is to pay off their debts. You do this by dungeon crawling, block puzzle solving, mech combat, robbery, researching new weapons and features on your space ship, etc. It is supposed to have quite a variety of gameplay styles.

 
It would have been nice to see Life is Strange for $5. I'll probably get GoT even though I'm a little iffy on it just because it's so cheap (but could it go cheaper? Oh no I'll have to chat with Sony about this.)
