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


Dude you should be, and you can always go in and downgrade your order to normal and either get a refund, or put it to another game. I would take the money and buy the guide.

yeah, i have a feeling that those places would be more likely to rip off older people because they usually don't know as much about games.

Dyor' Docuree (2nd in command of the powerhouse, The Sangheili Army)

I went to blockbuster and got 5 dollars off so it only cost 55 dollars, but on with your problem. Yeah, your mom got the limited. The people at gamestop must have tricked your mom.


I didn't even know you could preorder at Blockbuster! but sure, it worked.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

If she's upset about the price, go with her and downgrade to the regular edition. They should give her the money back. They probably told her it would be "better" to get the more legendary edition. Likely, they ripped her off or she's cool and did it for the hell of it. Either way it can be remedied if needed.

So...what's the story? We know the whole "mom buys collector's instead of normal" story, but what's the story she told you?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Maybe your mom pre-ordered the limited


That would follow.

  • 06.29.2009 8:31 PM PDT

Wait, you actually checked this?

Will you be my friend?

If you really don't want the limited edition, go down to the store (you and your mom), and tell 'em to change the pre-order to a reg. edition. Then use the money to pre-order something else or put it on an Edge card, I dunno.

Well she's not upset but I kinda am considering they ripped her off about 40 bucks. And...to the dude who asked what the story was:

I asked her if she could pre-order Halo 3: ODST at Gamestop so I can get Johnson. Told her it would be about 5-10 bucks to pre-order. She went in Gamestop, and asked if they were doing pre-orders of ODST. Dude says yes and pulls up somethin...idk, she just said he pulled up limited. She asks him if that comes with the bonus character and he says ya, this is limited. When she gets home she asked if I could guess how much the game costs. I guessed around $70 since im pre-ordering and she shakes her head and says 109.99. That's when I knew something was up...then she tried to argue with me that ODST doesn't mean Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, when she had only heard it one time, in gamestop.

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

Or maybe the regular edition was sold out so the limited edition was still,

Or maybe your mom love you some much that she bought you the best!

Just send me a FR if you want to play.

I play any playlist, and most customs, unless your version of infection sucks.

Dude I learned about the Edge card when i preordered the LE, and I'm loving it.

But yeah, sometimes moms do that kind of thing. When I preordered it came out to like $124.-- because of the LE, GameInformer, and the card, and I paid in full for the preorder anyway. Just go do that kind of thing for yourself. Moms get worried that they aren't picking the right one or something, and that can get janky. Just go there with your parent's at least.

Its you that knows what you want.

Sorry, Sorry, double post.

She probably just paid in full. You can through down the 5-10 bucks, but they don't ask you that.
They ask, "Do you want to pay the full amount now?"
Its a business thing.

I know about the down payment part, but nonetheless, I still learned something today.
