[Spruchy]

My 130 xbox arrived today and sonic/blu rays tomorrow.

 

[Hazaro]

Still so pissed. Every couple hours I remember that I'm not getting my game until practically Christmas.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to ship the product(s) as soon as we expected and need to provide you with a new estimate of when they may be delivered:

Windows XP "Left 4 Dead" [DVD-ROM]
Estimated arrival date: 12/17/2008 - 12/23/2008"


Has yet to ship. I used Amazon Prime 2-Day Shipping. Fuck my Prime membership.

:[

At least it's before Christmas, I'm sure they promised that on Friday.

I got my PS3 today though! Killzone looks like shit, and the framerate is shit still! :lol
At least I can see all the underlying stuff they want to do, I know they will have nailed KZ2

My Arade should arrive tomorrow and I should be all set. Got everything else today.
Nyko controllers look AWESOME, I would of paid $25 for these.

Damn . . . was that a magic deal like the Arcade bundle but with the Elite?

I believe these were rolled up together:

Gears of War 2 Lancer - 61.70
Gears of War 2 (360)- 41.99

Yep. 340 even, total. 360.40 shipped. Yes, it was magic

Also, not that you asked, but the 2 extra copies of Pure for 360 are for my two younger cousins.

You had to buy an Elite 360 I think.


Damn, I didnt know House was on sale too. My girlfriend would have loved that.

 

[TJ Spyke]

What an odd viewpoint. GTAIV is widely available for less than $40 at retail right now.

While a few retailers have it for that much, the vast majority of stores are still charging full price.

Heads up; Sega Rally Revo (PS3) has dropped to $10.

 

[Leon S. Kennedy]

Victory!! After complaining, amazon agreed to refund me the extra 70$ for the 360/DDR order. My grand total for the bundle is now $130

Victory!! After complaining, amazon agreed to refund me the extra 70$ for the 360/DDR order. My grand total for the bundle is now $130

Mine showed up yesterday (got for my sister and her boyfriend).

I was pretty pissed at the packaging. All the air bags were wrapped around DDR and the 360 was fully against one of the sides with no protection. Hell, even the packing slip fell out during transit because it and the "OMG Buy Harry Potter's Wand" junk mail was just sitting on top of the box. The 360's box had a dent/hole in it too.

But oh well, it was only $130 and it's not for me. If there's a problem after xmas, I'll deal with it then.

Prime has nothing to do with it, they can't ship if they have no stock. My L4D order is delayed as well. In fact, we're lucky that Amazon even allowed our orders to slip by. We were one of the last ones to get the order in for the $20 price before they bumped the price back up to $45.

In the meantime, 7 other Amazon Prime packages came yesterday.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

Crazy. I ordered the GH3 bundle for $45 on Sunday, took the super saver shipping, and UPS is delivering it today. Amazon gets it out quick during the holidays - last year I was getting B1G1 Blu Rays I'd ordered with the SS shipping within two days of ordering.

Heh, Amazon sent a huge ass box for my Nyko Guitar today.

I got that last night. My 7 dollar guitar came in a HUGE box.

For those who got the $130 deal for the Arcade, Circuit City is having a deal right now that gets you a refurbished 20GB hard drive and wireless controller for $39.99 with free shipping.

Here.

EDIT: There was a 10% off coupon but isn't working anymore, apparently. Sorry.

Wireless controller is a refurb too. Pretty nice deal, but I'd rather have the 3 months of live + 20GB for $30.

 

[Leon S. Kennedy]

I don't think I would trust the refurbished ones since you can't return anything to circuit city.

 

[SapientWolf]

Yeah, but with the controller you have the option of using it and reselling it. Plus, who doesn't need a guest controller? If it's janky you'll have the advantage.

Wonderful someone stole my amazon package with dead space off my porch. Fuck I hope amazon is good about sending replacements for stolen packages. God i'm so pissed.

Sorry to hear that : ( I heard you have to ship via priority mail to get them to make you sign for it.

This is why I always make sure myself or someone else is always at home when I'm getting a delivery. I've heard of too many getting deliveries stolen. The moment I hear the doorbell I run to the door because sadly UPS leaves the packages at the door and drive off

 

[Wario64]

My bro got his PS2 stolen on launch day cause Fedex left it at the doorstep. It could be worse.

Call in. They aren't supposed to do that.

 

[JudgeN]

Sad part is the package was just dead space i'm positive it could have fit in the mailbox but no they rather leave it on the porch.

 

[goldenpp72]

ups forgot to deliver one of my packages when they dropped off the rest, and I still didnt get it today even though they said attempted delivery (im in an apartment and the office was closed when they came back)

Do I have to go fucking pick it up or will they reattempt?

 

[drakesfortune]

UPS is not allowed to go anywhere near your mailbox. Only USPS personnel and you are allowed to touch your box. It's a crime for anyone else to tamper with your mailbox (ie opening your mailbox).

Really now, i didn't know that. I just thought they hate me but it seems that isn't the case.

 

[TJ Spyke]

I am not sure about the UPS thing, could be the size too. I have ordered single games before and even with just 1 game they will ship a box that is too big to fit in a lot of mailboxes.

 

[SapientWolf]

My bro got his PS2 stolen on launch day cause Fedex left it at the doorstep. It could be worse.

Might be time to get a security camera, and maybe some boxes filled with shit for people to steal. Bonus points if you can rig the box to spray poo everywhere.

UPS will try three times before you have to pick it up yourself.

Dude that so freaky, I just mentioned earlier (was it in this thread?) that the exact same thing happened to my copy of Dead Space that I also ordered from Amazon.

Is there some crazy homeless person building a fort out of stolen copies of DS?

 

[Hazaro]

Arcade came in today, package was pretty beat up, packing was almost non-existent.

DDR3U came in a perfect box with twice the air packs and none were burst.
Gonna post up pics of everything tomorrow

 

[SapientWolf]

I'm a DDR fan but the song selection in DDRU3 looked pretty weak. Is it at least as good as DDR Extreme or should I not even open the box?

 

[speculawyer]

Can you get that deal with an Arcade that has the 256MB memory card?

 

[~Kinggi~]

Yeah Ive been receiving a constant stream of amazon boxes the last 3 days. Amazon Prime trial has saved me a lot of money on quick shipping. I picked a good time to use it.

 

[Hazaro]

Can you get that deal with an Arcade that has the 256MB memory card?

I hope so because the box says 256MB on it :lol

Mnf: 9-22-08 by the way, so I don't think it's a Jasper.

Not a DDR fan, so I'm pawning this off on forums and here.

I did it today, and my extra 20gig hard drive is on its way.

 

[Petrie]

How do you know it has the internal memory?

Because I opened it and set it up, and there was no memory unit. hen I booted it up, both my hard drive and a memory unit showed up, and I was able to save directly to the console.

Also, I just e-mailed Amazon, as the product page clearly says it comes with a memory unit, and I actually wanted one in order to transfer saves to friend's places easier. Jasper or not, it isn't acceptable to list an item as one and ship another. We'll see how the rectify the situation.

Just get a free 512MB from MS?

 

[Petrie]

Just get a free 512MB from MS?

Can't, because it has internal memory for the NXE, I only qualify for the hard drive upgrade. And despite that, the items page says it comes with one, so it's on Amazon to provide it, not MS.

I thought they were upgrading to the 512MB instead of 256MB for a reason, oh well.
