I could understand the drama, if Sony or the company that is shipping those products were denying a replacement or refund.
But this is just drama for the sake of drama.

Drama is a subjective terms. Sending 3/4 tweets as a single user to raise a complaint to a more public space isn't an invalid or over-the-top tactic imo. Especially if you want a replacement.

I can understand the concern whether we really need this thread.

No refunds.

 

[Arun1910]

This is actually Microsofts fault

 

[Damigos]

Another reason i went full digital

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Another reason i went full digital

Yeah no physical is the best option.

 

[ckaneo]

All I see is people talking about it, I have the feeling PS is doing better than ever.

If that's true then they shouldn't have raised prices

 

[Nankatsu]

Those editions... They really are the last for us.

 

[Graciaus]

What else was in that box? That was definitely not properly shipped.

 

[baphomet]

Oh no, my terrible investment into a video game and additional tchotchke garbage got damaged in shipping.

Getting a refund would be the best possible thing you could do. Even more so than having an undamaged copy of that shit sitting on a shelf.

 

[Skifi28]

If that's true then they shouldn't have raised prices

Ok, I'll tell them.

 

[Gravemind]

Is that a cardboard case that the game comes in? That's what 100$ gets you lmao

Wow, talk about some high quality.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Some of you say it isn't Sony's fault, but for a 100$+ product, I would expect a better, more sturdier outter box, not just some cardboard.

That said, holy fuck the delivery issues you guys have over there with FedEx and the likes. Here in Spain the dude/dudette rings the bell, you open the door and thet hand you the package. Don't know why they prefer to toss shit around over there.

 

[legacy24]

Sony is literally on the verge of bankruptcy you think they can afford all the fancy packaging?

 

[lovetalkgames]

The way everyone dogpiles minority issues online is so silly.

 

[peronmls]

This has never happened to one of my digital downloads. Physical only bros real quiet now all of a sudden huh?

Yeah? just wait till the servers are shut down on your consoles. Then how will you redownload your games? You won't.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Shit happens during shipping.

Maybe Sony should have put these in better packaging but I still don't blame them for this as these shipping companies do not give a fuck about our packages

I ordered a PC case and the package had a giant FRAGILE on the side and that had a footprint across that where someone stood on it and crushed the glass panel

Is that the PC makers fault?

People just looking to shit on Sony

 

[Javthusiast]

Exclusive cam footage of the deliveries.

 

[Topher]

Obviously the situation is going to vary and there is no hard and fast rule but if I was getting a broken item like that in that kind of packaging, I would be blaming both the packaging and the courier. I don't think it's upto standard for a cardboard box to come in a padded envelope like that.

Perhaps, but still on the carrier to deliver the package in the same condition they received it.

I've had FedEx leave packages in my driveway, in the rain, rather than walk to my covered front porch where the packages would be completely dry. I've called and complained and got all sorts of attitude. Personally, I think FedEx is a shit company these days. I'd much rather receive packages from UPS or USPS.

That should be ilegal, what the fuck.

 

[Pallas]

Huh, kind of both of their faults. Sub adequate packing inside the box, careless handling by the transporter/mailing agency.

Unfortunately you can't really replace these, only a limited skirt were contracted to be created.

I think another side of this, is those who got theirs from scalpers. Will they be able to get refunded through sites like EBay?

This is actually Microsofts fault

 

[Sosokrates]

Fuck that, they should also offer a replacement or a substantial discount.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Oh no, there's a crease in the box! You paid $100 for a remake, and now it's all ruined because of a couple wrinkles.

How are you going to proudly display it with your other games and your toys?

In this kid's defense, the packaging is cheap as fuck. You mean Sony couldn't ship with some styrofoam peanuts?

 

[The_Mike]

Ok? Currier issue, hardly Sony's fault. If Sony have only printed a limited amount it's not like they can ask the factory to do a few more because some have been damaged in transit.

I don't know, I'd say the package problem when it's not protected better than this.

But Jim Ryan approves your post, I am sure of that.

Edit : it's utterly insane. The same people who defends Sony with their lives now attack each other over Sony screwing them over.

Friendly fire everywhere.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

These people will never learn.

Sony do something!!

This ain't in chief

 

[Spaceman292]

So a few copies shipped damaged and people were offered refunds? The horror.

No, no. Every little thing has to be turned into a HUGE DRAMA.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

This is what the end of times look like!

 

[mitch1971]

I assume it's because they want to pretend like the collectors edition is scarce to keep the scam going.

They should look on the bright side - they now have a scuffed limited edition of a limited edition.

 

[LordCBH]

Who the actual fuck approved that shitty packaging for shipping an item like this? The sheer level of incompetence is staggering. Whoever approved that packaging for shipment should be fired.

 

[emivita]

If a replacement is not possible, hopefully these people can get a refund AND keep the item. That would be the bare decency from Sony.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Phil Spencer up to his shenanigans again *sigh*

 

[Fbh]

Better luck with the Ps6 remake

 

[MasterDerico]

Probably the paint on the box of the game got damaged and that's what it looks like underneath.

Cheese

 

[ckaneo]

They doesn't make sense cause you could just damage your box for a refund.

 

[Pelta88]

The desperation to find a legit reason to hate on TLOU is real.

We've moved from threads urging us not to buy the game, to threads where people are posting essays about why Sony is cheating you financially... To the game releasing and some suggesting that Sony, who play no part in shipping the game, is deliberately sending out damaged boxes just because.

This thread will be hilarious to watch.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I heard Jim Ryan damages them before they are packed and he cant stop laughing while doing it.

 

[Captain Toad]

I heard Sony paid the FedEx guy to damage the package.

 

[ReBurn]

If an item is limited edition and can't be replaced the supplier should definitely take more care with packaging and choosing shipping methods that at least try to ensure items will be delivered undamaged. These items are costly fan service items and telling fans "oh well we'll just give you your money back" is disappointing. Comparing this to run of the mill Amazon items being broken and just getting them to do it over is weird.

 

[K' Dash]

this shit gives me life.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Am I the only one who thinks that ps5 and Jim Ryan's legacy in this generation has been a decline to the Playstation brand

Nope, this generation under ryan has been a huge downgrade from the ps4 generstion. Arrogant sony is back in force

That's a long post to say you are not allowed to call Sony out for their BS packaging.

I don't get why people said this. Arrogant sony never left.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

People paying full price because "hey, it worth 70€ or more" and receive this shit fest "pricefly" edition.

I'm dying

 

[jaysius]

It looks like the rest of the crap in the damaged packaging was fine.

Who the hell shows off this trash anyway? What person is going to say "OH COOL YOU HAVE THE "LIMITED EDITION" of any fucking game.

People that get suckered into this money vacuum scam are truly sad.

Let people buy what they enjoy. I'm sure there are plenty of people that look at the gaming hobby overall and say the same thing.

 

[DonJimbo]

Hey Sony fire Jimbo this incompetent Monkey his destroying Playstation

 

[Bragr]

How many people? it's normal that some people will get damaged packages once in a while.

 

[jaysius]

Nobody gives a fuck about a packaging box.

If the case the game came in was actually damaged I'd agree with it.

I already mentioned if you could read that the rest of the shit in the box appears in good condition. Only the outer packaging is damaged.

 

[Chronicle]

One copy damaged. Crybaby goes to internet to cry. Neogaf crybaby posts in thread as a cry for other crybabies to join in crying about FUCKING NOTHING!!!

 

[DAHGAMING]

Thats the 1 mate lol.
