My brand new Xbox with a key missing component
Posted 1 week, 1 days ago by TheKindOwner

So I finally convinced myself to purchase the Xbox 360 after convincing myself that I could not live my life without the comfort of owning GTA 4. The deal-breaker happened when my friend told me that if you purchased the Xbox and the game together, you would get a $50 gift card. SOLD! So I head up there on saturday to buy the dream combination and arrive to find out they we're sound out of GTA 4 and decided to write me a raincheck, So as I go to check out, I hand the kid behind the counted my raincheck and he assumed it was from earlier so he went and brought the special edition and added it to the order. I started drooling over seeing the game and the console together like that. I cut him a check because earlier that day I lost my Visa and had to get a new one, (It takes 24 hours to go into effect) So he calls me out on it, and tries to get it authorized. it bounced, So after 30 minutes or running around town figuring out why, I came to the realization that my paycheck didn't go into the bank yes. Wonderful. And being the youngin' that I am without credit I was screwed. I told him I would be back the next morning because the check would clear by then. He put it aside for me and I left.

 

The next morning I went out bright and early, I even brought cash with me to be safe, I went in and they told me they couldn't do overnight holds. That policy is total crap. Sold out again...and now forced to sit back and wait out this horrible curse while the world kills hooker, steal fine autos, explores liberty city...ect, you get the point. 

 

 

Well Best Buy, you have won this round for now. But rest assured as soon as you have on in store, I will be there within 15 minutes. Promise. 

 

So now I have the Xbox and I'm curious to know what I should play in the mean time! I bought ea Skate to take my mind off the pain. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like your weekend went the same as mine: disappointing. GTA IV is the shit and once you get your copy you'll be one of us....a Liberty City junkie....

good thing you didn't have gta iv already. it'd probably cause you to crash your car into the place and pay the clerk for "hot coffee".

seriously though, what a disappointment. you'll get it soon enough, though!

I'm playing condemned 2 and having a great time. Pretty funny when you yell across your house "Hey mom! I'm killing homeless people!" Awesome job of setting the mood.
I agree with white: even though they may be the lesser of the two, I always go to Circuit City. Bestbuy always happens to be out of what I'm looking for.

Call of Duty 4 is a great game. I try not to do any business with Best Buy they will screw you over on almost everything.
