Whoa. I totally predicted this. Not that I'm lining up to preoder games, but it's a good promo.

[Zanzibar]

Kick ass. Gimme.

[Evil Avatar]

Neat!

(Headline edited. Less is more.)

EB can stuff it up their ass.

Ouch, so much anger. Isn't free stuff good?

[Busted_Astromech]

Hmmm....giving it away kind of undercuts the fact that they're seperately $20.

Methinks Microsoft doth inflate the price, hmmm?

(But of course we also have hard drives and memory cards...augh.)

This faceplace, is this a spot on the console which I have yet to be informed of in which your face can be placed to further enhance the 360 experience? Interchangable and all, I expect that this is to accomodate different face types.

In all seriousness though, it is an ad that you can put on the front of your 360, cool...I guess.

[pomeroy]

BUT IT'S A FREE AD! Duh!

[overdrivechao]

I work at EBGames and 80% of the preorder gifts never show up, so expect this one to follow suit.

Best at CoD2 huh. Good.

How the Hell do you get past that 4th bunker on Hill 400 (veteran difficulty)? I feel like I've tried every gaming tactic I've ever learned and no joy. You can't make a single mistake at this point and I usually find myself not only advancing my squad but also defending our position on multiple fronts (more than the norm trust me...for those who haven't played this part yet). If I do manage to battle through the horde of Germans pouring out of the thing, the jackholes with the machine guns in the murder holes rip us a new one.

I love this game.

I'm also big enough to ask for help when I really need it :-)

Tell me about it. I'm still waiting for the music soundtrack (poplegacy.planets.gamespy.com/) that will never make it to me after pre-ordering PoP:TT. That is the last time I have something sent for in-store pickup. Your loot will be - shall we say...reallocated heh.

I forgive them to a degree since they pulled off my 360 order without the mandatory Imperial (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_Empire_%28Star_Wars%29) waiting.

[GrinR]

Not when it comes from shitbags like EB. Really, there is little love lost for EB around here - especially post x360 launch.

[Deadend]

Wow, the faceplate looks GOOD. That is the most suprsing part of a free face plate. That it looks good.

Blaming EBGames for a lack of 360's is like blaming Regal Cinemas that Bloodrayne sucks. You are a moron. I really expect more from a 35 year old.

Yeah we got those soundtracks at my store like 2 weeks after POP came out. We still have the three they sent us, I can't give them away.

The pre-order gifts are also a function of the game developers, not the store. If we don't have it, it's cause 1> You didn't order soon enough or 2> We haven't recieved it yet.

[Busted_Astromech]

I can backup overdrivechao's statement, in particular with regards to the PoP:TT soundtrack. I work there, and was itching to get my hands on a copy of that (since we often have extras). However, we didn't get the discs until a week and a half later, long past when the people asked. Now we got about 6 and some of the people are regulars so we got it to them the next time they dropped in but there is little we can do about the other discs, other than capitalize on it.

So if you preorder at EB and they don't have it, make sure they know you're interested and call back--chances are it's either late in coming or a no-show.

A. What's age got to do with anything?
B. EB Games is a horrible, horrible store filled with horrible little people. The relentless hype to pre-order a product well-known to be out of stock is just the tip of the sales-centric, gamer-be-damned iceberg that retail game sales has become. (GoGamer being a notable exception).
C. Personal attacks on me do not alter the fact that EBGames is bad for everyone but EBgames.

It's the A, B, C's!

You should be adult enough to understand how things work by now, not attck like a kid who gets denied a lollipop.

Sweeping generalizations about an entire group of people is a sign a an inability to think for oneself. Besides being in buisness to make money, (god damn us for that, right?), the number of pre-orders we get determines how many we get of a specific game.
You want a gamer-be-damned retail game? Go talk to Microshaft about their core system, launch titles coming out in august, and complete failure to make their own damned system. We put up with 300 complaints a day, directed at us, by people like you.

This crap started when you blamed EB Games for a lack of x360's. If *** had actually planned to hit the target they told us, we would have blown through our preorder list. It's THEIR fault we aren't getting any, so stuff it and go troll somewhere else.

[GrinR]

I can't believe i'm wasting my time with you, but...

Next time, just say you work there. It saves us both wasted breath.

Uh-Oh, here comes the double standard.

I would gladly take a CoD 2 faceplate.

But you have to admit, Bloodrayne reeeeally sucks.

I saw the "nude" scene with Lokken (http://www.iwatchstuff.com/archives/2006/01/kristanna_loken_topless_sex_sc.html) . It was boring. Seriously, how do you make a boring nude scene with the Terminatrix????!!!

[overdrivechao]

Touche! You were right, I was wrong - I am a moron after all.
