Futureshop: Buy 1, get 11 free

Hehe. You gotta admit, that picture would make a good "STFU NEWBIE!" edit. :)

Callainder, it's not like he can just snap his fingers and make the copies appear back at Futureshop. This is a little different than just waltzing into a store and intentionally stealing 11 copies of a game because he had no intention of getting 11 extra copies. Should he return them? Yes. But he should let them know about their mistake before doing so.

Professor Obvious strikes again! Where's the "You suck at the intarnet" picture?!?

;)

Hmm. Chime-in: Everybody goes on about how the 11 copies of the game is $6-700. Meanwhile, the retail stores probably get them in bulk shipments at a discounted price (lets say $20 per copy.) That's only a $200 or so loss "to the company", and since he ordered them off the internet there's very little chance these would have ended up in a store. So, there's a $400 rift in the "loss", as everybody is putting it. $200 to a multibillion dollar company is some jerkoffs lunch.


Just thought I'd share that little bit of info...

I'd do the same, though I'll keep my "mistake" for now and sell it on ebay in a couple of years.

Is it just me or are online retailers full of idiots, past two months I've gotten 2 full price games and a Star Trek deep space nine season 4 collection for free, all in all about 180$ in value, some of them could be actual freebies but I doubt it. There are certain stores and people that I would have notified at once if there would have been an error but none of those.

Then I guess you can't have any respect for MVS.

It's strange that Matt has the initiative to incriminalize someone that gets a few hundred dollars in free goods legally from a corporation that probably measures its losses in millions, not hundreds, yet openly mentions his usage of illegal drugs. Way to have selective morals.

I don't mind what people think of me, if it works for me, then it's good.

I do think that pot should be legalized, but that would not cause me to smoke it anymore than I do right now.

Taken from this thread.

Matt, mindfield may cause a company to lose a little money, but he is legally bound to be able to. You, on the other hand, are causing another institution - the US government - losses by being apart of the illicit drug usage that is trying to be ousted. It costs money to search for drug suppliers and users, and you are/were apart of the people they are targetting.

Ah, I totally forgot about MVS's pot usage. Maybe he was high when he was making all of those seemingly hypocritical posts.

This would make perfect sence, if the items on the inventory ledger were catalogued at purchased value, rather than resale value. But since they are not, A LOSER IS YOU! :p
