How did it stole!

I was out, and Fedex left it next door, they signed for it and left it on the porch and they came round and said it got stolen...new neighbours, hard to believe them, but not much i can do.

You should grab the orb and run it to their house.

Fedex lost one of my packages for xmas too. A zune original for my mom. I hate fedex. I have never had a good experience with them. I would fight this if I were you.

How the hell does Fedex get someone next door to sign for a package that's not even for them.

Fight them. You will win.

No idea. Plus they didn't even leave a card through my door to say they had left it next door. I had to phone them up and ask where it was delivered to once I saw my tracking number status was set to 'Delivered'.

Trust me. Fight it, and you will win. Make sure to work up the chain, until you get what you want out of them. Preferrably the cost of the Zune, the shipping, and a little extra as it was an Xmas present.

Do NOT let them try to pass you anything less. You can and will get this from them. Don't give up.
 
It's against their regulations to let other people sign your delivery :/
So you should have no problem in getting your way, or else they are freaking retarded.
 
Dude, you should really re host your images somewhere else, or prepare to get banned. I'm just looking out for you. Image shack images will get you banned.

Is the new Zune really that good. I've noticed a lot of people are starting to get them.

I don't personally own one of the newer ones (I have an older model) but my friend does and it's pretty damn nice.
 
I picked up UT3, as well as an XBOX360 with two XBLA collections and Burnout Revenge, Gamestop didn't have Mass Effect...

You skimped 5 dollars a piece and went for used games instead of new? thats barely a savings, and more of a kick in the teeth to the people who made those games than a wise purchasing decision.

Hey jackass, it was buy 2 get one free this week. Mind your own business.

Besides the developer already got paid for thos copies of the games.
 
Quick question to those that have the Blade Runner Collector's Edition on Blu-Ray/HD-DVD... or anyone else that may know...

What's the cheapest price and where can I get it? I don't mind paying $100, but if I can find it for cheaper, I'd like to...

Thanks!
 
My Zune Micro-review: Great player, user interface definitely beats out my old ipod. Would recommend it to anyone.

The size and thickness is not an issue at all as well.

Wow that screen is real cool :) What's up with the keyboard, looks weird?

Dude, thats a keyboard cover...the cover actually folds down to form a wrist-rest and then you're not using your keyboard you can unfold it to cover the keyboard.
It's pretty neat...
 
Some stuff I got (the games I've played and loved, but didn't own, so I bought them):

Mass Effect
Halo 3
Assassin's Creed
Orange Box
Ipod touch
A Mont Blanc Pen (look them up, they're pretty awesome)

And my two big purchases:

1) New PC from Falcon Northwest (Mach V) (being shipped)
Specs are:
-Nvidia 780I SLI Mobo
-Silverstone 1000Watt PSU
-4GB 1066Mhz DDR2
-Hitachi 1TB HDD, 32MB Cache
-2x GeForce 8800 Ultra

It's definitely pricey, but my current PC is 6 years old, so it's definitely worth it.

2) New car (well, kinda)
2008 BMW 760li

This car is at the lot right now. I've basically done everything but pay for it, and I still can't decide. It's not cheap ($130,000), but driving it is amazing, and I've saved up enough to not have to pay monthly for it. I don't have any large debt to pay off, so the money isn't being wasted when needed elsewhere (I own my own home and have paid the mortgage completely) but it's still a really big decision. It's definitely an improvement over my current 1995 Camry.

Any suggestions GAF?

All of them are Christmas gifts.

COD4 - I'm having a blast with this game, the multiplayer is the most fun I have had since Counterstrike. I beat it the other day though, I loved the epilogue. :D

Zack and Wiki - Fantastic game. This game would only be fun on Wii, it is such a blast to play. Haven't gotten to far yet though. (At the first boss).

NCAA Football 2008 - I usually only buy one football each generation since I'm not a massive football fan but I do like playing the game. Very fun.

The Bigs - I haven't played much of this. I prefer the simulation baseball games but this is still fun to play, I just haven't had time for it lately with all the other great games.
 
I finally got a PS3 (80GB), you can see the little dust magnet here:

+ HDMI cable (not pictured)

Software:

Wii Zappper, Assassin's Creed, MotorStorm (bundled) and Uncharted.
I also got The Simpsons Movie and Madagascar DVDs and xXx and Monsterhouse blu-ray.

I still can't find Zack & Wiki.

I've seen some at Mixup.
Sam's Club has a larger selection. I got them there (MX$260).

The Zapper I got it at this local store 'games for less', it was MX$350.
 
Heres my haul, Half of it is from Christmas but I didn't feel like looking for that thread or bumping an old topic.

Nice but I'm not a big fan of the 7 series. I'm personally have my eyes set on the 2008 M3 :D
