Crysis 2 Nano Edition - X360 (PAL)

Gemini-Phoenix · #1 03-25-2011, 03:50 PM

So i've just taken receipt of my Crysis 2 Nano Edition which I bought from GAME. This thing is HUGE! In comparison, it's about the size of Steel Battalion or a Rock Band / Guitar Hero band pack box!

Unfortunately, mine arrived damaged. Due to the uneven weight distribution, it has obviously been dropped on one corner. As the shipping box is very thin, this damage has been instantly transferred to the CE inside

Here's a few pics of the damage:

ooooooooooooouch. :/
Get a replacement, if you can.

Aww. That sucks. I gotta agree with you there. The box is fucking huge!

That is exactly why I hate buying stuff online. I bought Fallout: New Vegas and the CE game guide from Amazon, and the box it came in did not have any padding of sorts and it was just big enough for the book to fit. That resulted in the corners of the book getting dented.

I think the store should do a better effort when it comes to shipping. They know that the postal service doesn't carry every individual box on a velvet pillow out into the truck/plane/boat that is carrying your orders. Charge 3 dollars more and get a good cardboard box and some bubblewrap -.-'

Unfortunately, I didn't have much of a choice with this one. It was only available from GAME (And EA's own store), and an online exclusive only. Plus the fact that there was a high risk that this could've sold out on pre-orders as well

I am hoping that GAME have enough in reserve to ship a replacement out, and if they do, I hope the replacement reaches me in better condition!

The damage is a lot worse than it looks in the pictures above - When you consider how big the Nano Edition is, you then get a sense of perspective at how bad the dent on the corner is

Man that sucks! I think it's the delivery drivers that cause some of the damage. In other cases like when HMV ship in a plastic bags that just a serious lack of care for what they must know we want to keep nice.

In fact They no it's special as they charge more so where is the common sense it protecting it on it's travels!!

Gemini did you get a replacement, they have sold out now.

Still waiting. I only sent it back during the week. Hopefully they'll have a reserve allocation which have been held back for return purposes - No doubt once damaged items issues have been solved, these will become available again for a short while

I was actually offered £150 by some bloke for my damaged one in the post office line the other day, but as they were sold out and I actually wanted a replacement, I had to refuse the offer

^ I would be worried, I once returned a item for replacement and they ran out of stock on their website.

I though they would have a reserve allocation too, but it turn out they didn't and they simply refunded me. I think it was for Super Mario Bros 25th edition. Hope you get a copy.

Yea, that has happened to me once with HMV and the Terminator 2 endoskeleton bust. I had to send back because the plastic was shattered, but they didn't have any more to send a replacement and simply refunded me. I would be absolutely gutted if they did that with this game, and it's something I always fear when returning items like this which sell out on pre-orders. However, their customer service team assured me that the replacement would be packed a certain way, which leads me to believe they have already picked a suitable replacement and put it aside
