Okay, so after like a fucking HOUR of this shit I finally got a code, which does not work yet. The guy said it will work once my AC4 order is billed and shipped out.

It fucking better work.

Francis is a fat hunk of garbage and I hope he shits out his intestines and dies.
I was going to post pretty much the same thing. The fact that people watch him is worse.
Francis is a character played by boogie. He represents the child normal people have inside of them and is untempered emotion and unhindered immaturity. He's there to convey how some gaming enthusiasts feel at the worst (Diablo3 release) and best (this recent video) of times.

I just got emailed about a free game as well.

So now I'm going to have a shit load of games. PS4 titles are CoD, Killzone, NFS, BF4, AC4, Knack and whatever PS+ gives me for free. Not going to have time to play half of these. Oh well, maybe I'll sell them online.

Between the absolute BULLSHIT at Target today and this shit with Amazon I have never loathed retail/cs people more in my life.

My cousin had a code that didn't work yet either. He told me he contacted support again and said the code didn't work, and the cs person manually applied it for him.

Well, my AC4 Limited Edition order should be billed and shipped tomorrow, so I'll just wait until then to see. Will probably be billed just after midnight even.

If the code doesn't work then then I'll go to CS again. Dreading that.

I guess I'll use my 30% off 2 games at Target coupon on Fire Emblem: Awakening and Pokemon X or Y, since there's nothing else coming out that I want and it expires on 12/30 and there's no other releases before that.

So it looks like Sony has pulled a fast one and added conditions to their terms of service policy. Saying you cannot resell any game..Still Not sure if this is fake but pretty shady if it is real. The researcher also couldn't find anything similar in either Microsoft or Nintendo's TOS.


At the moment I'm going to say it's a fake or someone trying to put shit on Sony by twisting the wording of the TOS.

So another guy on Neogaf is having trouble too, except he's being told that the CE just isn't eligible for the promotion and they won't give it to him. Buy a $130 game, get nothing. Buy a $60 game, get a free game. Awesome.

No wonder it took my guy forever and didn't understand, I guess the CE SKU just doesn't come up with the promotion at all. Thankfully persistence won out.

I can't imagine the amount of rage at the Sean household.

Just ordered KZ for me and AC4 free for the wife. Should hold me over until Christmas since that's when I graduate.

Best part of all this? I also have an insane tooth ache in a back molar, probably the 4th wisdom tooth that I never got pulled, and it probably needs a root canal. It has seriously compounded my bad mood all day today.

I have been randomly yelling FUCK all day and it hurts like a motherfucker.

In other news, Amazon's best seller list is nuts:Amazon.com Best Sellers: Best Video Games

And it's not even Tuesday yet, when their B2G1F deal is open to everyone. Between this and Target and Best Buys's deals and shit (plus some people are getting price matches there) the PS4 is on course to probably have the highest launch software attach rate ever. Amazon getting in on this is just nuts for sales.

Amazon probably had to react quickly, no one would buy any games from them with the target deal. The B1G1 deal from Amazon is absolutely insane though. Has there ever been a system launch where there was B1G1?

Not sure. If there was, it was definitely not on this scale with someone as huge as Amazon. Might have been some Toys R Us shit before.

I sat through the whole thing and I won't lie, I cried a little at the end. Thanks for posting it...

Isn't the B1G1 free code basically B2G1F? They sent it to people who had pre-ordered one game already, and then you buy another one and get the third free. At least, that's how I think it works.

They also sent out straight up Free Game codes to anyone who pre-ordered multiple games.
