D*** You Electronics Boutique!!!
« on: February 15, 2001, 05:27:45 PM »
The other day...I went to the mall in my town and went into the Electronics Boutique store. I was looking around to purchase a game for the PS2 when I spotted The Bouncer!!! I was so excited about this that I didn\'t bother reading the box. On the very bottom of the box was a mesage that read, "For Display Only, Game Coming Soon." I thought...WTF!!! I was so disappointed. I knew the game couldn\'t have possibly come out yet, but I was just so excited. My friend slapped me across the face so I could get a hold of myself. That sucked a lot of a**...:(.

I used to work at EB and I take offense, but I am not going to flame you because I am not a flamer.......not that there is anything wrong with being a flamer. :D

Hehe. You could say "sh1t happens".

I can feel your disappointment. But you\'re lucky to even see the box! I mean, I\'d be excited even for that. And it really signals that the game is coming soon. You have the patience to wait if I have. Because someones say I have really short patience ;)

Blame yourself, Evis, not the geeks at EB whom were as nice enough to put the box on the shelf for you and your friends to be shocked at.

our shops haven\'t got new PS2-games since december. I hope march will change this. i\'d be jumping to ceiling if I\'d even see a box of new and fresh PS2-game.

But then all of a sudden they deliver you wrong game, ooseven, because they don\'t know nothing about the game.

And then you\'ll be so p1ssed off you agree with this thread.

But this is just speculating ;) I know they can do their jobs at EB ( I don\'t have any personal experiences from the shops; there\'s the reason one why I can\'t call them lazy or bad or stupid and I don\'t want to offend anyone working there; and that\'s the reason two why I shouldn\'t call them anything :) )

Well I to would be excited if I spotted the Bouncer sitting on a shelf.The difference between me and you........I would have bought without looking at the box.
I recently discovered that my ass is the key to the universe.....now I must fight to protect my ass from those who might abuse it!!!

why take it down ? we are trying to get some sales/pre-orders..and the most important thing..HELP CUSTOMERS OUT !..without those boxes i bet no one would know about the game

You should have known that the game wasn\'t out yet.
