Shelby just wanted to trade in Resistance: Burning Skies at Best Buy. Why did they make it so difficult for him?

The moral of the story? When customer service offers you a $30 gift card, hold out. They'll offer you $50 in a few days.

sreiches4305d ago

Well, it's certainly ONE of the lessons one could take from it. It really shouldn't have been necessary to offer a gift card at all, though.

NeoTribe4305d ago

I would never go through that much bullshit.

JBSleek4305d ago

I'm not completely understanding this. You wanted to trade in this game and that gave this person a $30 gift card which is really good and then you wouldn't take it so they gave you a $50. Is the game even worth $50?

sreiches4305d ago

Haha, the game is not. Not for trade and not even new. That's what's so absurd about the situation.

Roper3164305d ago

and this is why companies go belly up and our economy is so screwed up. Instead of getting to the root of the problem and fixing it lets just throw some money at it and of course more then what its valued and hope it goes away.

sreiches4305d ago

This was my concern. When contacting customer service, I know I'm looking for my issue to be resolved, not to be told, "Have some free money."

This also happened in the past with EA. I hit up their chat line due to some issues getting Dragon Age: Origins to recognize my DLC (as well as some random crashes in Mass Effect). After four attempts or so, they just gave me a code for something like 25% off a purchase on Origin.

SilentNegotiator4305d ago

Let the company worry about that. It was some silly little database error. You got $50 in credit. You got MORE than you should have because of a little oversight.

LET IT GO.

StrawberryDiesel4204304d ago

It sounds to me like you're the type of person that will complain about anything just to get something for free especially when you blatantly admit to doing the same thing prior to this. Were you really wronged here? People that have to deal with people like you fucking detest your guts, just so you know. Stop complaining unless you truly have an issue. I would have just gone somewhere else like most people, you feel the need to not only call numerous people that work for best buy's corporate offices and waste time from your life, but also write an article about how much you bitch and post it on the internet so everyone that doesn't even care can read it. I would be willing to bet you cry and complain about most things in life.

SilentNegotiator4305d ago (Edited 4305d ago )

I hate how this phrase is overused by apologists on this site, but:

What a WHINY, ENTITLED, CRYBABY.

A database error causes him/her to get offered a free $30 giftcard, and s/he refuses it. S/He gets a $50 giftcard and then whines that it was "hidden" in the envelope.

My word. SHUT UP.

32froshes4305d ago

No one's whining. This dude just wanted to figure out why Best Buy's system had such a problem with this particular game.

Game was a wasted opportunity on the Vita. Really disappointing release that stank of a rough rush job.

SullysCigar1013d ago

Especially compared to the awesome Killzone Mercenary.

AnotherProGamer1012d ago

I never understood how Nihilistic Software got so much work, they were allowed to make Resistence and Call of Duty on Vita when their track record is terrible. was their really no talented devs they could find

Blank1014d ago

Crazy to think this dev team also failed with COD. I think that unproven team bit off more than what they could chew. In a parallel universe they could’ve been the next big thing by this point if they had only tried to be creative with these major game licenses.

Ratchet751014d ago

If bend studio wasn't busy working on uncharted vita, they would probably have been the best studio to work on that project.

Rimeskeem1014d ago

Makes me wonder if Bend could make a new Resistance, especially if they aren't doing Days Gone 2.

LucasRuinedChildhood1013d ago (Edited 1013d ago )

The question is, how do make a good sequel to a series where all of the games are all actually quite a bit different from one another?

R1 had much more horror and the chimera were tougher, R2 was obsessed with scale and had so many enemies on screen (the Chicago Battle was amazing), and R3 felt smaller (the scale of the battles was only big towards the end) and less scary than the others and it took some inspiration from Half Life 2. R3 had the best shooting mechanics by far though and it was cool that they brought back the weapon wheel.

I would like them to try balance the horror of R1, the scale of R2 and shooting mechanics more like R3, of course with all the crazy upgradeable weapons, but that seems like a tough task. The only way they they could really continue the story is if they sort of ignore Resistance 3's ending and we see the Chimera that Dedalus talked about.

Extermin8or3_1013d ago

a sequel of sorts to osp's resistance retribution would be awesome

SullysCigar1013d ago

Loved Uncharted Golden Abyss, more for it's inventiveness than anything else. Using the motion controls to fine tune aiming down scope was bordering on genius and worked beautifully.

spicelicka1014d ago

Damn read Resistance and got excited for a moment

Yobo51013d ago

When are we getting a new resistance for PS5??

Extermin8or3_1013d ago

I don't know but I hope we do get one....

Can’t believe another retailer hasn’t come out with a similar program but offering 10% instead of the 20%. I’d sign up immediately.

mkis0071196d ago

20% off any new game sku including CE's and preorders, plus 10 bucks for preordering...ya nothing was even close.

sourOG1195d ago (Edited 1195d ago )

Yup. I’d still have it if possible. The deals I got were insane, there is no way they didn’t lose their ass with that program. I’m not surprised it ended lol.

Relientk771196d ago

This is gone and the Amazon program is gone. It sucks.

CrimsonWing691196d ago

We needed this program now more Than ever. I’m not paying $70 for a lot of these games coming out now.

QuePasa871193d ago

I'll continue to wait for sales and price drops :/
