Odds are in your favor...one of your posts are bound to make sense :lol

Huh? We paid $500+ for a PS3. How were we losing money in the first place? lol


BIG WOW 10 big ones, who gives a **** about $10? :lol


I think we're gonna need a Best Buy defense force soon

Perhaps some people actually wanted a PS3, and didn't want to pay over retail for one?

Even so, if you wanted to, you could sell it for profit and make much more than a lousy $10.

So, in the end, we lose.

10 dollars is shit, and it wasn't worth the hassle.

from what i read in my email, the order was cancelled and i will not be charged. in that sense, i saved myself $600+ and gained a $ 10 coupon.

 

[bracer028]

that 600 could have made me 1500

 

[fusoya59]

that 600 could have made me 1500

heh. touche.

 

[xsarien]

how mnay of you would buy xbox's now over ps3 because of this fiasco

Do you really believe the drama you're spewing?

that 600 could have made me 1500

I'd post a .gif of the world's smallest violin, but the problem is that there's no such thing as a -1000x-1000 image.

 

[WickedAngel]

Annnnnd...I still don't have the cancellation email.

PULL THE COCK OUT BEST BUY! THE RAPE IS OVER!

 

[bracer028]

no not really...but this thread is hilarious...people are saying the dumbest things like this non-existent tony guy

but ya...i'm still ticked off at best buys...thats for reals

 

[manngc]

Finally found the $10 coupon email in my spam folder. At least I got that for free!

I'm kinda glad on one side, because I really didn't want to spent $500 +$50 for warranty on the PS3 yet. The easy pre-order thing got the best of me though! :lol

:lol :lol :lol GAF got p00ned by Best Buy:lol :lol :lol

 

[2600]

I just got another e-mail from best buy. They cancelled my $10 coupon.

 

[Yamaha98]

Well, I preordered both units of the PS3 so naturally I received two different, $10 discount codes. Can I use them together for GoW?

That would so much make my day because once this thread past the 1hr mark, I never expected this deal to exist from day 1. Especially after all those multiple orders from CAG & FW. :lol

 

[WickedAngel]

I just got another e-mail from best buy. They cancelled my $10 coupon.

"Dear Employee,

We ****ed you on the Playstation 3 pre-order. We now realize that it's only funny to us if we let automated systems created pre-orders for items we don't have stockpiles of. We sent you a $10 coupon but decided that you're not worth it. You've sucked it hard and now you get to swallow. Bottom's Up Baby."

 

[bracer028]

you fat gaming nerds gotta give up man

just take the 10 bucks and leave

as for me...i'm going back to my hobby...paintballing

 

[ManaByte]

you fat gaming nerds gotta give up man

:lol

Please go play on the freeway.

 

[Wario64]

This is his first day as a GAFFER too, lol

 

[SS4Gogita]

I still haven't gotten an e-mail or anything (and yes, I checked my Spam folder).

Why do you torture me so, Best Buy?

 

[sangreal]

Wtf, I ordered both units in separate orders and only received one coupon

 

[cartman414]

Got the email, but my PS3 preorder is still up on my account. What the dilly-o?

 

[Fun Factor]

Actually, most gaming nerds are ridiculously skinny. Get your facts straight.

My hobby is cooler than yours, by the way;

The R6 says Hi2U.

 

[bracer028]

Wow, your e-mail was much harsher than the one I got. Mine just said 'No Coupons for fat gaming nerds.'

*shrugs*

 

[gkryhewy]

as for me...i'm going back to my hobby...advocating for other borderline illiterates to obtain GAF memberships

fixed.

I probably had sex with your girlfriend last night.... I was wasted, she was ugly.

 

[Dead]

I've consulted my magic 8-ball, and it says that our orders will not be cancelled.

If Best Buy cancels our orders, I'll buy everyone in this thread a PS3. That's how confident I am in my magic 8-ball!

YOU

Time to hold up your end of the bargain.

Nice YZF-R6, too bad the '07 model is not available yet. :lol

 

[manngc]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

You can STACK the damn things?!! That's be AWESOME!

 

[WickedAngel]

I know. I have an 06 but it's basically the same thing (The big revision came last year, as I'm sure you know). Mine is Raven Black though (Not Charcoal...but I'd love a Charcoal colored one).

 

[Pimpwerx]

Meh, got my cancellation email. Yay! A free $10. I hope I remember it when I order from BB in the future. No biggy, I was questioning the wisdom of spending the money right now, but now I don't have to worry anymore. It would have been a lot cooler if they'd honored it though. PEACE.

 

[Wario64]

Anyone not gonna use their $10? Give em to me

 

[Malleymal]

You can STACK the damn things?!! That's be AWESOME!

dont think I am using my ten bucks, so I may hand it out to someone

 

[MightyHealthy]

YOU

Time to hold up your end of the bargain.

"if he backs out, call the BBB!" :lol

Edit: I'd also like to echo Yamaha's statement.

Even though I'm crying myself to sleep tonight in the fetal position because I won't get a PS3, I DID receive 10 dollars from Best Buy while tasting my own tears.

Thanks NeoGAF & Sonarrat!

 

[manngc]

Please hand it to me!

 

[2600]

Welp, it's been fun. I laugh, I cried. I made ten bucks.

Thanks sonarrat.

Gonna go watch Heroes now.

 

[bracer028]

ahaha all of you remind me of the comic book guy

hahahaha

 

[Timedog]

you fat gaming nerds gotta give up man

as for me...i'm going back to my hobby...paintballing

so let me get this straight:

you were willing to plunk down 600 bucks for a gaming console, and now since you might not be able to get one on day 1, you're bowing out of the game. You're done with video games now over this. Not to mention that you were apparently so fed up that you would never shop at best buy again, and didn't even want to hear the name "ps3", yet you're telling everyone else to settle down? And above all, you weren't even going to play the system, you're intentions were to sell it.

I keep trying to play out in my head the thought process you must have went through, and I just come up blank. I try to visualize what your brain looks like and the only thing I see is the bottom of a chili pan.
