How Lame is This
So a week and half before it came out
I went into my local EB games and confirmed that they would be getting in copies of the new release of silent hunter iv gold editions when It came out. the dude says yeah we have a half dozen on order and they should be in around the 13th, naturally I assumed with a release date of the 12th that this kind of followed a certain sort of logic in the universe. The kid says would you like to pay the extra to reserve one. I said kid you have my number call me if you want the sale when it comes in. so release date came and went and no phone call. but as it turned out maybe he didnt call on purpose because he may have realized what I just did this morning and and wanted to save himself the embarrasement of trying to explain it. Today I went in and there on the shelf sat six brand spanking new copies of silent hunter iv original release just like the two already on my shelf. nowhere to be found is Gold edition w/ubm my wife says ask the guy I says "I can read and these six werent here last week were moving on. screw em we will go to the other one instead where hopefully the manager/proprieter has evolved something beyond a lizard brain. So we go to the other EB games and there on the shelf sit six brand spanky new copies of the previous not the current edition of silent hunter iv and I come to realize that somewhere either at the regional or national level someone has a badly displaced and extremely dyspeptic liver for a brain. I have bought my last game at EB Games after this and a few other previous impossibities I find most of the time the service I get at EB games is completely sub standard. She says talk to the dood. I says screw it we just became bestbuy customers. M (just my rant) |
