on the one hand you probably will
buy the games. maybe a memory card.
but when you have to?
god i go to EBs and they made you buy
2 games a memory card a controller and
a warranty.... and o yea the system too ..
wtf..
i realize more and more the companies have
to buy inventory along with the hardware..
but to force the consumer to buy it so the
store isnt left with surplus inventory?
what ever happened to conservatism?
what a dumb ideal nowadays...</STRONG>
Yeah, and it WOULDNT work it ppl would learn to say no.
For example, I tried going to an EB when GT3 came out to buy GT3. Well the clerk told me I HAD to purchase the guidebook also, or no GT3. He said he "couldnt sell it" if I didnt take the damn book. Needless to say, I left him standing there and went to Babbages in the other part of the mall and picked up a GT3 without the stinkin guidebook. They tried pulling the same crap with a friend of mine at work, and he of course also declined.
This bullshit has to stop.. if you dont want the damn package it can't be obligatory like they try to make it. If ppl dont buy it, they will have to stop shoving them down people's throughts... makes me sick.
