So I want to buy my brother an X360 for Christmas. I asked in another thread about the best deals on a 360 in Canada, and someone suggested EB, since they're doing a trade in a system for 360, get Gears of War free and some money off.
So I call my local EB (Barrie, the one in Georgian mall) and get some guy named Graham.
I ask Graham, "What's the deal on the 360?" And Graham tells me "Trade in a PS2, GC or Xbox system and get 100 bucks off plus Gears of War free when you buy a 360 Premium"
Now, this is an awesome deal and almost too good to be true. I have a spare GC lying around and think this is awesome, the damn thing is only worth like 30 bucks but I'll get 180 bucks worth of trade in for it.
So I ask Graham again specifically: "So I have an extra Gamecube, I trade it it, I'll get 100 bucks off the X360 premium and free Gears of War?"
Graham says that's what I'll get.
So I dig out the old Cube, toss it in my car and drive to the mall in half blizzard conditions - the Mall is in the north part of town and a good 20 minutes one way OUT of my way for the rest of the day.
I get to the mall, fight for parking (WTF, don't people have to work? The mall was packed at 2 pm in the afternoon).
I find the EB store.
Ask the clerk, some skinny little shit, who says the deal isn't what I was told. Trade in an Xbox1 ONLY (no PS2, no GC) for 100 off X360 and a free Gears of War. Turns out Graham is a co-op student (WTF, who the hell co-ops in retail? What a ****ing loser). Manager (actually kinda cute in a skanky way. skinny, tight shirt nice tits, I failed GAF because I didn't have a camera so no pics sorry) tells me she's had to set a lot of customers straight because Graham is confused.
What I don't get is this: How can Graham be confused after the first customer was misinformed? Is the manager too busy playing with her awesome tits to do her job and keep her employees informed? How the **** can you mess up so badly anyway to be giving such grossly incorrect information anyway?
EB hires idiots, I don't usually shop there and I don't know why I would have been tempted even to save 180 bucks to bother going there.
Coles notes:
EB Games Canada's X360 deal is only for original Xbox only, despite what the stupid shits who answer their phone say. Manager of EB Games at Georgian Mall has nice tits and should be in porn.
