Subject: What the Heck!? I think GameStop just ripped me off!

Perception is everything.

Ok, I asked my mom if she would pre-order Halo 3:ODST so I could get Johnson. She says okay, and drives by GameStop on her way to some store. I figured it would be an extra $10 dollars to pre-order considering all you get is Johnson. She comes home and tells me she payed $109.99! That does not sound right to me. Is there more than johnson with the collecters editon?...or did I get ripped off?

collectors edition is 100 dollars...

you did know that you don't need the collectors edition right? right?

there is also an ODST controller, a $50 value, but it only increases the price $40

Ya you got the limited edition and gamestop does have a tendency to rip people off at times.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Wait what?

From what you people are saying on this thread, is that if you pre-order, you're forced to pre-order the limited edition?

No way, I'm sure you have the option to pre-order limited or regular, and either way you get johnson because it's a pre-order.

Maybe your mom pre-ordered the limited?

Made a mistake buddy.
You do not need the Collectors Edition for Sgt. Johnson.
The Collectors Edition is $100, while the regular game is $60.
It doesn't matter which one you pre-order, they both come with Sgt. Johnson as long as the game is pre-ordered.

That's stupid. I told my mom to get the regular game...must mean she is dumb or gamestop ripped her off.

No. You can pre-order the regular edition. It's just that his mom got the limited edition.

dont say your mom is dumb, she tried to do something nice for you and she may of made a easy mistake but that doesn't mean you should call her dumb.

when I went, they asked if I wanted to reserve MW2 so I could get the beta. I googled the beta, and it showed up that there was no beta.

Tax.

That makes perfect sense if your mother paid the full price instead of just the pre-order down-payment.

Here's the page for the Halo 3: ODST Collector's Pack.

You should have went with your mother, and maybe, Just maybe, none of this would have happened.

Otherwise known as Sevi D!!

if its limited edition on any game u have to pay 10 dollars and u pay 90 dollars when the game comes out. so ur not getting ripped off

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

Do you live in Canada cause limited up there is 109.99?

And Tax, is a good explanation. Bright side is, when you go to pick up the game you won't owe them any money.

  • 06.29.2009 7:25 PM PDT

Hi! It's me!!! Wait what? You don't know me? Oh just see what I can do. XP

Yeah.. Your mom loves you sooo much that she got you the Limited Edition.

Nope, im in the USA. Pretty sure that's tax though. And to all those angry for me calling my mother dumb, listen up. I am grateful that my mom is willing to spend money on me and I thank her for it. However, I gave her specific instructions on what to buy and the price. I was not rude to her when she told me what happened, and I would not call her dumb to her face, and probably not to any of your faces...but when I am on a forum I type what I think. Maybe that is not what is polite and maybe I have not grasped manners to the full extent, but that does not give you the right to tell me that....just like I have no right to call my mother dumb.

  • 06.29.2009 7:40 PM PDT

nevet, ever send a non-gamer mom to buy, or in this case, pre-oder a game

  • 06.29.2009 7:40 PM PDT

Agreed

Don't forget you get a limited edition covenant alien for a pet!
I pre-order edit and all I got was an ugly brute...
