Wait, what mistake?
just run… go… dont think about it
Just put it in your pants and say, “What can we do now? Nothing. Nothing at all.” Then waddle away awkwardly.
They’d rather lose your business than be fined heavily. I completely understand.
Won’t work without day 1 patch most likely.
Man, too bad. I tried this once right before Shenmue III released. They also had it early and if i had cash, i could’ve made a deal with the guy. He said if i give him the money now he could just wait for the release day to check it out, because they get fucked, when there is on paper proof of selling it early.
Shove it up your ass and walk out
Should have went to self checkout and bought it there
I would place a crisp $100 bill on the ground and run for it 👀
A guy at Best Buy once sold me a game before street date because he told me on the phone that they had it in stock, and then felt bad when I got there and he realized it wasn’t technically released yet. Pretty sure it was Sonic Adventure DX for GameCube.
I once bought bloodborne a couple days before the release date. There is this place that would sell games before but not give you a receipt so they wouldn’t get in trouble. I wonder if they are still open
The secret ingredient is crime
I feel like every time there’s a post like this there’s a lot of comments that don’t understand how retail works. If a game has a street date the system won’t let them sell it without a manager override, and yes that goes for self checkout too.
Whats the mistake?
Some ppl care way too much. When I used to work at Toy R Us and this would happen I would just scan a different equally priced game. Wtf do I care, good for you man. I’m right behind you having my buddy ring me up for a different game too so I can play early. It’s like those losers in drive through that only give you 2 sauces as if they personally pay for them.
For anyone curious.. I don’t know the specific fine associated with God of War, and it’s been a number of years since I worked at a game store, but most games carried a $250,000 fine against the store or company for every copy sold prior to the street date if caught.
What mistake
Did you go up to the cashier in the electronics department and say “Hey you’re not supposed to sell these yet, will you sell it to me?”.
I live in Hawaii and preordered GTA5 through GameStop. FedEx delivered it the day before launch. I was so excited I called out sick from work and played for hours. One of the greatest days of my life. Haha
This reminded me of when I pre-ordered Pokémon Ruby as a kid and it came a week before release date :). Felt so cool in school that I was playing it before my friends haha
What’s the mistake?
So I run into this issue a lot and it can be pretty frustrating on both ends of the conversation. You wanna buy this new game and the people who work at the store want to sell you this new game but sadly it was placed on the shelf far to early. I figured out a way to make this work for both parties and walk away with game in hand. The secret ingredient is crime. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk,
Ok but what the hell is a “launch edition”?? What else is it going to be?
When God of War 2018 came out, I went to my local retailer to buy it and I can’t remember exactly how much it cost but let’s say £59.99.
I noticed that on the shelf 2 games that were accidentally labelled £5.99. I took them both to the counter and they told me that even though it was a mistake they had to honour the price on the case.
So I got myself God of War and a copy for my brother for less than £12 like a day or two after release.
So what’s the mistake?
Whats the mistake?
We used to have a music store here back in the 80’s/90’s (DJ’s Sound City for anyone local) one of the staff would sell us rap cd’s/tapes that weren’t cleared for street release yet, and were to be used to play in the store. This was before CD burners were a thing so it always felt cool to have albums before the release date.
Does the PS4 version have a free visual upgrade?
Steal it.
Steal it
I kept looking for a spelling mistake or something on the cover, didn’t know the mistake was the store sold it prematurely
