Got a better deal by abusing 3 promotions at Target rather than waiting for the Black Friday Deal.

Needed a new PC, because the display of my laptop died. So I bought some parts. Not many, but enough to make me broke :( I'm poor now.
Although I didn't even buy an HDD

  • AMD Phenom II X4 960T (maybe I'm able to unlock the two extra cores)
  • PowerColor ATI HD 4870 (got it for free so it was a no-brainer. Sounds like an A380 sometimes, but it is equal to the performance of 80-90€ graphic cards and yeah, for free :D)
  • TeamGroup Elite 8GB 1333MHz RAM
  • Gigabyte MB
  • bequiet! 450W PSU (normally only for system builder)

Also needed a new DVD burner and a new keyboard. And because I can't afford Super Marion 3D Land some other nice games now, I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for 5€. I hope it finally runs ;)

I saw Okamiden on the clearance rack at my local Target as well...tempted to pick it up.

I did snag Tron Evolution out of it there for around $8, so that's pretty cool.

Fuck you, fucking Amazon warehouse worker!!!! I'm glad you work in a fucking oven 10 months out of the year.

The gold foil on the corners is almost all worn off in addition to the box being decently crushed; moreso than it appears in the picture. My Ocarina and Majora boxes are in better condition.

Insult to injury comes from the fact that whoever packed my $16 copy of DNF Balls of Steel did a flawless job.
 
Amazon always messes up my cardboard cases. So annoying

They've had a really great track record in my experience. I've had a few get poorly packed out of the 1000+ shipments I've received from Amazon, but obviously this is the one that stings the most. On the plus side, Amazon is refunding me $12 which is pretty awesome. They apparently also have a packing feedback area on the site, so hopefully I can upload a picture showing that the cardboard burrito is not an appropriate shipping method!!!

Its happening quite often now for me recently. Most of my cardboard CE games were shipped in a padded envelope or that cardboard burrito. Not looking forward to receiving my Zelda CE tomorrow.

My Zelda box was messed up too, not as bad as yours, but enough to annoy me. Funny thing is I got the Trails in the Sky limited edition last month in a bubble mailer and it was perfect. I don't know if Amazon or USPS are to blame.

Fucking hell, I received a blu ray the other day and the case was scuffed, I went absolutely berserk. I can't have my stuff messed up. :( Feel bad for you.

Picked up an Ikea tv stand off of craigslist for $100. It's a lot bigger than my old one and I love it.

This happens to me every once and awhile with Amazon. UPS is always the shipping company that screws up the packaging and order. Amazon has always sent out a new one in better packaging. They sent out a replacement on overnight shipping, so I did not have to wait long for a new one. Normally it is when they ship a game or dvd out in a bubble envelope when things get mangled. It is like UPS goes out of their way to stack every heavy box possible on top of small envelopes.

Ahhh the Magicker. Yours is sooo neat. Mine is overrun with consoles.

Ikea Magiker! Finally know what it's called haha. The lady I bought it from didn't know the name and Ikea doesn't sell this line any more. Mine is only neat because I just put everything in it last weekend. The only thing I wish is that it was a dark brown color instead of the light wood.

Knowing a guy who worked for UPS you are not far from the truth. Basically they back trucks in on a incline and let gravity do the work to unload, according to him.

That's exactly what happened to mine! I tried to get a replacement but Amazon "doesn't have any left."
