Awesome! I have been reading Joystiq since around 2005. I work in the gaming industry and I tell people about you guys all the time! You guys are the best, I heart you!
I would probably launch Pip-boy heads... with sharpened teeth.. that chomp as they are flying through the air! That wouldn't feel very good, but would be awesome!
I work for Game Crazy and it has been a constant battle trying to get people's 360's replaced. It would help if they actually gave the people a NEW system instead of just fixing their old ones. Many people have to send them back multiple times. Heck, I helped a guy today that said his buddy was on something like his 8th time sending it back. Many people that have to end up sending their system in, end up buying a new one right before hand so they don't have to be without one... so that's why we're out.
Not only that, Wii's, and DS Lites have also been in short supply. We think Nintendo's waiting for Brawl to come out to release us some Wii's... wouldn't be a bad idea!
Well, to be fair our return policy IS on the back of the receipt and clearly states that 7 days on ALL new product. But it's whoever rung you up's fault for not fully explaining that to you. The reason for this is that most people think that "oh, I spent $400.00 on a 360 today.. that store just made $400.00 off of me." WRONG! We probably made about $19.00 in margin off of that system... which is why some companies have to put 7 days on their systems. That way more get directed through Microsoft, and it's less of a loss for the company.
