Dear Person Who's StarCraft II (or StarCraft HD, if you prefer) Pre-Order I Bought,
Hey. How's it going? Probably not too well. I know at some point over the next few days, you're probably going to be REALLY pissed off at me. I would be, too.
When I walked into GameStop today to buy StarCraft II/HD, I didn't think that the only copy left was yours. When the "sales associate" (hereby referred to as Heyzeus) first told me the only copy left was a pre-order, I was a little upset. But imagine my surprise when Heyzeus told me that because you hadn't picked the game up within 48 hours of it's release, he couldn't hold it anymore. Had he just left that part out, I would've driven the 15 minutes to the other mall and checked the other store. Unfortunately, I was hungover when I was standing in the store and the liquid gel Ibuprofen hadn't kicked in yet. Obviously, my judgement wasn't where it should've been. I realized only after leaving the store that I essentially took your copy and you won't be able to get another one until Tuesday's shipment. The even sadder part is that the parts for my new computer won't arrive until tomorrow...I won't deny that I committed douchebaggary in the first degree.
But don't worry, I was the 3rd person to pull such douchebaggary today. So you can rest well knowing that in our area, there are 2 other people who want to murder someone. Plus, I'm sure Heyzeus would be willing to give you a refund so you can go over to the other mall and see if they have a copy. It's not like this is South Korea. Some store within 20 miles has to have it.
Anyways, it seems pretty fun. And I'm sorry you had to learn this lesson to pick your game up (or have someone else do it if it's a gift) within 48 hours. Or hey, maybe you won't even get your gift until past Tuesday...even though that still makes me a dick, at least you don't get screwed over.
But I gotta go. Don't worry, I'll treat her right. Sorry.
Sincerely,
MoPHo
