Default Re: Crysis 2 Nano Edition - X360 (PAL)

Their priorities are all wrong. They're more interested in getting it out quick rather than paying attention to getting it to you in good condition. At the end of the day, it must cost them more in damaged goods than it would have if they'd used better packaging in the first place! So what if it takes an extra day to arrive - People buying online aren't exactly in a hurry, otherwise they would've simply gone to town to buy their games

Idiotic mentality if you ask me. It's just common sense that certain expensive CE's require more adequate packaging as they're delicate and can damage easily.

agree 100%, online ordering is a gamble especially overseas..face2face will always be better. I just ordered a Chun Li Collectors Edition TE SSFIV fight stick from amazon marketplace, i practically begged the seller to ensure adequate packaging, we shall see what happens with that the way your nano arrived is a disgrace.

I too have sent back many item not deem worthy of keeping, GAME should at least know about the packaging requirement. All they sell are games, what's their excuse.

Also I must say Play.com and zavvi are the worst by far for me.

Haha, my worst experience was with a SteelBook copy of Turok I got from GAME - It arived with a 30 degree bend in the middle! Looked like someone had driven over it with a 4x4 truck! Lol. I wish I had've taken pics of it when I had the chance, but it was the one which prompted me to take photo's of all subsequent damaged goods I receive

You're right though - All they sell is games, so why can't they adopt the same methods as HMV and use adequate boxes? Who the hell at GAME considers white double-sided bubblewrap to be adequate for a flimsy CE which comes in a delicate cardboard box? FFXIII CE and BlazBlue were prime examples, as are the recent Square PSP releases...

I don't think i've received a single CE from GAME this year which I haven't had to send back at least once. I only ever get a box after the second return though, and so far i've never had to return anything more than twice. I firmly tell them that I will keep returning damaged items until such time they learn to package them correctly first time around, and use a bit of common sense

It is seriously delicate as well, the slipcase is ultra thin card. The sticker seals also came off quite easily.

Where will you be getting it from?
