Gamestop = Fucked.
Teehee.

Watch us all end up with something not a game.

I have screenshots of the item page. If they send me what wasn't advertised, they're giving me a full refund.

That said... it WAS for a pre-order. Don't be surprised if all you bought was a pre-order reservation that will give you $19.95 off the retail price when you go to pick it up.

I have to admit I have a lingering feeling that could be the case.

I don't see how they could charge more. We agreed to pay the price which will be charged to the selected payment method when the product is shipped. The screenshot was a good idea, I should have done that as well.

You paid for a "pre-order" - the button CLEARLY stated "pre-order" on it. GameStop, BestBuy, etc. do it all the time. Pay $10 up front for a pre-order, we'll reserve you a physical game when they ship and as a bonus we'll apply the $10 from your pre-order as credit to the purchase price of the title.

If anything, I would expect GameStop to ship a "pre-order" package including a coupon or something. However, from the description listed on the item page, it sure did sound like it implied you were pre-purchasing the full game, not a pre-order. Why would a pre-order package SHIP on the day the title is released.

If that's the case, I'll end up with a refund and maybe get it on Steam so I actually get it on release, rather than two weeks after.

I just received a $5 B&N online GC from orders@gamestop.com.

I'm assuming that I won't get the game.

We already got the shipping confirmation. They aren't going to wait until the day it ships and then say "But first, you owe us $30!"

I still think it's a price mistake, but I would hope they aren't going to try and bait 'n switch on us like that.

 

[Terzo]

Yeah, I got the $5 gift card as well. Sounds like the orders will be canceled, as expected. Still, I'm surprised to get anything. I would expect an email about a pricing mistake and cancellation, so the $5 card is gravy...if I ever find something I want with it.

 

[Delbert]

I think they forgot to include the reason they were sending us all a 5$ gift certificate. It's not like they wanted to say "Thanks for your order on an awsome deal. We intend to make it even sweeter with this $5 gift certificate."

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Free $5 gift card? his may end up being a hot deal after all.

thats what im banking on

 

[Praxis1452]

hmm no e-mail about a gift card yet.

 

[Miklebud]

Awesome! Free $5 Gift Card. I expect to see my order canceled anytime now... But I still end up $5 ahead! Score!

 

[superHARD]

No $5 email from them here either or maybe depends on what exactly that means...

that is true but they also tell you that you are paying is a deposit towards the full price. Here they listed:

"$19.95 Online Price"

not a deposit

 

[brencat]

Didn't get any email about gift card. And my receipt clearly says what I purchased is the Battlefield 2 Bad Company PC Game. Tax and shipping were collected. No way I paid shipping for a deposit. At minimum, if they try to pull something, I will get my refund. But I think its legit.

 

[aggressor]

Any new info on this? I haven't heard anything.

 

[AFurryReptile]

They haven't canceled on us yet, at least.

 

[slayer202]

They haven't canceled on us yet, at least.

very strange. maybe they are still trying to figure out what to do. any other benefit to keep the orders alive?
