I agree that that reaction is justified.

Unless you're being sarcastic and making a joke. A shit joke. Because you're shitty.
Unless this is some kind of shitty, sarcastic joke... because it's the same reason I tend to not buy certain things online: you can't return them quickly or easily if things fuck up.

Haha, it's cool. My buddy came over and let me install off of his disc and it's working off the bad disc til I return it. It's not amazon's fault I know. But it sucks not being able to directly return something, so I'll never buy games online again. That said, Gears of War 3 online is fun as shit.

And it's called hyperbole, douche. I was making fun of the fact that someone used 'never' - an absolute - to describe something that would happen later in time.

But if you want, I could do a miniature lecture on writing well and pendantry.

Your turn.

ok, so I guess there ISN'T a big, fat line between never buying games online and wanting more convenience, because that's why I never buy games online; it's more convenient.

Both of us have said we buy lots of other stuff online. Leave it be, please.

Amazon is extremely good about their returns policy. They usually give you free shipping, credit your account, the whole shebang.

Better than most. I don't think I've bought from anyone besides them and Newegg because anywhere else is just a tremendous waste of time and not indicative in the least of how good shopping for things online can be.

Or you're just the kind of person that lets bad experiences color your view of something for life and then talks about it on an internet forum.

I hope you're not one of those people.

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't give a flying fuck if it's Amazon or Ebay or anyone else; I'd rather buy expensive clothing, shoes, whitegoods, furniture, and.... games in a shop down the road rather than online. I do, however, buy a lot of other shit onine.

I don't care how humane their policies are; I don't want to wait for it to get here only to have to arrange to have it shipped back (free or not) when I want or need it right away. I don't want to buy something online, wait a week + for it to arrive and then find out it's the wrong size.

I'm guessing Koko is the same since it would have sucked if the game was fucked and he missed playing with his bros. It really would have.

It's not 'one bad experience'; it's a preference for efficiency.

EDIT: Also, get off Amazon's tip.

I knew you were going to say that last bit.

And it's incredibly disheartening to live in a world where a matter of a few days inconvenience matters so much to some. I thought my life was bad.

EDIT: Fuck white people and their bitchass problems.

Why shouldn't it matter when I can get it in half a day? Plus, for me, it's not a few days, it's at least a week to get most stuff delivered, and then another week to send it back if there is a problem, and then another week for them to re-deliver.

Why settle for second best? It's not white man whingeing about his late video game, it's a proud member of humanity marveling at the feat that our technology and ingenuity has granted us, and not settling for anything less.

I can get it quickly... why wait?

Okay.

But there is a fat red line between "it's closer and more convenient, so that's my preference" and "I'm never buying anything online again ever never no way."

I just don't like waiting for something that I paid for to be here and functioning the release date. I buy a ton of shit online, but never games that I really want to be playing ever again. I may buy games that are time wasters through amazon. I buy a bunch of guitar stuff online and have no problems. But something as fragile as a small circular disc, trusted in the hands of someone who throws packages around, isn't really gonna make me want to use them again. I don't want to have to wait to play with my friends online. Sure, it's not me starving or anything, but it is something I pay for a service to get. And next time, I'll just go do it myself at the store. That way if it doesn't work, I can just drive 3 miles and get another instead of waiting 5 days or more.

I was writing a longer post about how I agree with Zhukov and k0k0, based on how stupid it is to order a game online, pay for it and the shipping, and then potentially have to send it back and wait even longer to play it...but then I accidentally hit the back button, so fuck it.

I buy shirts online because it's just awesome for unique stuff (teefury, fright-rags, etc), and I buy books because they're cheap and I'm usually not pre-ordering new ones. Shit, even DVDs. Games, though...that's just stupid. As stupid as trying to condemn people in first world countries, in 2011, for opting for the more convenient purchase methods.

i've ordered games online before, but it was only when that was the only way to get exclusives (i.e. the t-shirt I got with fallout 3 collectors edition). Plus, it was from the online store of a retailer that actually has a storefront near me, so I might've still been able to return/exchange a faulty disc

first you find a seedy street and look around for a guy in a puffy jacket possibly with a backpack
then you catch his eye and then look all nonchalant and when you walk by you go whatup and maybe give him a secret handshake

then you ask him to hook you up and hopefully he has the PAL version of games you want

Well apparently my UPS doesn't deliver here until 8 pm, so in order to get my game I have to wait til the end of the day. Plus if it's broken, I get to strip down nude and play with my wiener because there's nothing else to do for the next 3 days. Of course I do have a shelf of like 80 other games, so I am talking out of my ass.
