Is it worth going out on black friday?

[Jakobud]

lol, i bought a PS2, put my broken PS2 back in the box and sealed it all up (i didnt break the special little seal i just peeled it carefully and glued it back on), and returned the broken one for full cash refund. now thats walmart for ya =)

Thats sad   Why would you rip someone off like that?

[Sephroth57]

cause sony ripped me off with their disc read error!! its all a scam to get you to buy PStwo... notice conveiniently mass PS2s are breaking, and then the new slim version comes out....

That disc read error was a common one, and something that had an easy fix posted on the internet in several areas. 

While my kids haven't fixed theirs, and I haven't either, at least we didn't do something as shady as THAT!

Now someone's gonna buy that thing, and at the VERY LEAST, will end up making two trips to the store to get something that you should have taken care of yourself.  If they're lucky, they won't get a hose job and will be able to return it for an exchange, but you may have screwed someone who did absolutely nothing to you, all to "prove a point". 

Justify it all you want about how it's actually Sony's fault, but you're responsible for shafting a complete stranger who did nothing to you. 

I can't believe you'd post that here as if you're proud to let everyone know how you "screwed the man".

I'm willing to bet whover buys it will most likely just cut it open and when it doesn't work and they take it back they will be told they cant take it back becouse the serial numbers won't match.  way to screw the consumer!

[Sephroth57]

bah u guys are complainers, im sure all of you are perfect and have never done something like that

[Shape D.]

Not like that, Iv'e done it with cds. But those they send back because theve been obviously opened, and they don't carry individual serial numbers.  Thus not being resold to another customer whos getting screwed over because of me.

look, i dont have much morals. lets just leave it at that =P

I'd love to leave it at that, but remember, I'm a complainer 

You don't have morals, but you have some sense of pride in what you do.  You must think that you did the right thing, otherwise you wouldn't have told us all about how you shafted someone else.  You deride us for "complaining", yet that's exactly what you are doing bemoaning the fact that a product you purchased has a commonly known about problem that could be easily remedied with a screwdriver.

You DO have morals, otherwise you wouldn't have thought that what Sony did "selling that crap" was wrong, and you wouldn't have felt the need to go to such lengths to replace your machine at the expense of another human being.

You claiming you have no morals and that we should leave it at that is cowardice, plain and simple.  You boasted about how you did something immoral and when a few folks put the screws to you (on the internet, no less) you want to turn tail and have it all blow over.  I call BS on you.  I certainly hope I never have the misfortune of purchasing something from you, as I can clearly see you have no problem screwing over another person as long as you benefit from it. 

In case you missed it, I have the same exact problem as your machine did.  I also am considering selling it, and was decent enough to note the problem that it DID have, and people are STILL considering purchasing it.  Your self-gratifying attitude holds no water with me, and your eagerness to sweep it under the rug only serves to show me my perception of you is spot on.

What's next?  You gonna tell us how you sold a wheelchair with a bad bearing in it to a quadriplegic?

LOL

Ergh. That isn't really the worst thing I've seen.

I bought an open box 56k (PCI) modem for 20 bucks. I get out to the car, take off the shrink wrap, and bam, there is a modem in the box....

it appeared to be a 2400 baud ISA modem...

Needless to say, I returned it, fearful that they would blame me. After that I really wanted to go on a spending spree at Walmart, then return it all.
That new Geoforce 10 I bought would become an ATI Rage Pro.

Damn Walmart.
