AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
« on: May 15, 2004, 09:57:42 pm »
EB sucks...


last a couple of weeks ago, I dropped by Electronics boutique and bought myself a copy of Final Fantasy IX. I got home with it, and popped it in...
I got a message that said \"please insert playstation or playstation2 format disk
I tried resetting, like five times, finally it worked. I got through the first fight, and as soon as that was over Bam, out of nowhere the game freezes up...
ok so I called the store, and they said they\'d replace it. No problem right...

So the next day, I walk the five miles to the mall, and give them the old copy...
they tell me they\'ll put me on a reserve list for the next copy that comes in...

I walk home...

two weeks later, on thursday, I get a call saying they got a copy in... I walk the five miles to the mall and get a ride home from someone I know.

I\'m home, I\'ve spent two days playing and then last night. 11 at night. \"insert disk two\" loading. the screen remains black for at least a half hour when I give up. restart the computer, load my game.
I\'ve tried everything, but the disk is dead.

now, think, i\'ve had to walk a total of twenty five miles for this game. this is the second failure I\'ve had with Electronic Boutique. guess what, I\'ve only bought one game from them in my life. that\'s twice as many failures as I\'ve even had dealings with them.

if you can\'t tell I\'m a little frustrated right now.

I\'ve bought with babbages since I was 13 and I\'ve never had one problem with them, the only reason I bought this with EB is because babbages didn\'t have a copy

And you should definately play FF7 before the movie comes out :D

Anyway, thats really strange tygerwilde, I could see one copy being faulty, but both is really messed up, especially with a new copy.  Ive had problems with used copys due to scratches before, but never with new.

hey man, not everyone drives. I had my licence suspended a couple of years ago cause I had to get my kid some medicine and I didn\'t have insurance. after that, the gas prices shot up and we pretty much decided that a car was more expensive than it was worth. still on those really long walks we wish we had something.


Anyway, in my opinion, 9 is the best, it has just as good a storyline as any of the others, plus it goes back to the old school days of ff. It\'s artwork really brings me back to ffI and ffII but not in the 8-bit way, you know.

9 is alright but 7 is the real deal, story line is the best, lots of stuff to do!

meh, I thought the storyline of 7 was too lingering, drawn out in all the wrong places. and some things just didn\'t make any sence at all. not that it was all bad, just long winded

eh, no problem. we\'ve been thinkin bout getting a vehicle, but with gas prices, insurance prices, tax, all those good things. we\'re just not sure it\'s worth it.
