EB games has poor business ethics....here's my story.
My plan to buy 5 Xboxes and sell four to pay for my own is thwarted by lies and misrepresentation through EB, while Ebay is selling premium packages for 750 bucks now.
I pre-ordered 5 Xbox's through EB games back in mid summer when I prepayed $250 for five systems PROMISED 1st shipment. They called me last week and told me sorry - we didn't know how many pre-orders we had and MS cut them back more than we thought they might. We can have your pre-orders to you after the first of the year.
PRE-Orders after the first of the year?
heck no.
I told them I wanted it cancelled and my money refunded. You'll have to come into the store to do that sir.
GREAT - since I called about 20 stores that day in June in order to find one that had five first shipment pre-orders remaining here in Kansas City. That store is like 45 minutes away from me. I drove there to pre-order cause they only took pre-orders in person, They had my 250$ for 6 months, and then I have to drive back there this week to claim my money again, since they won't cancel over the phone.
If anyone opens a class action lawsuit about this ------ I'm definately in. What they did is wrong...They shouldn't be able to hold my 250 dollars for six months and then not deliver what they promised....and yes I very specifically was told first shipment pre-orders.
If this happened to you please sign your name to this thread....if we have enough evidence of this perhaps I can contact a lawyer and pursue a class action.
If they hadn't actually charged me the $250 dollars then it wouldn't be such a big deal, but they did and I have the proof on my credit card bills. It wasn't held...it was charged, and because it was charged it means they need to fufill their end of the bargain, since they can't there should be repecussions - even if they are small.
