Fatsobob · 02-October-03, 08:52 AM

yo wassup, with what is left of my sanity after my hard drive burned out, I come home thinking "oh yeah halo comes out today", when what do i see next to the box......a dino crisis 3 t-shirt. Now game stop promised me if I pre order halo for pc, they will give me a free master chief action figure, yet they said to my mom that they will not be getting them in. what should i do???

Get a g/friend ?

I'll be alright , man. If you're old enough to play Halo, then you're old enough to stop playing with Action figures...if you don't want that shirt, send it my way.

It's the principal of the thing. They promised him a doll, uh, Action Figure. He should get it. That's false advertising!

Honestly, if it means that much to you make a fuss, otherwise be glad you still got a freebee that you would actually make more use of (I hope

).

Well said! A g/f sounds like a good idea too! hahaha Maybe she'll take your mind off of playing with action figures.

Dude, pick fights you can win. You can't get blood out of a stone. If they don't have them, they don't have them. They compensated you accordingly by sending you a shirt. Waste your breath on something worthwhile.

[EDIT] - spelling

i just ordered it and im going right know to pick it up at bestbuy

Your buying halo for PC/ What, like your even going to care about the world around you once its installed? Just take the shirt and be happy with it and yes; get a g/f.

Joose · 02-October-03, 12:31 PM

Wait until you're bored with Halo, then get a g/f. They get pissed when you donate inordinate amounts of time to a computer and not them. A g/f will DEFINITELY take away your fragging time.

Unless your a serious collector of "Action Figures"...just get over it. It's not the end of the world not getting your "Action Figure"

You main reason for getting Halo PC is to play with the game, not to play with the "Action Figure". Unless you got the game just to play with the "Action Figure", then I would suggest you go to your local Nut House and have yourself checked in.

All in all, what is the BIG Deal...there are so many bigger fish to fry in the long run and you got a free t-shirt to wear.

Ok, you know those big, black elMarkos?....
On the back of the Tee write...."Everyone else who pre-ordered Halo Pc from Gamestop got a FREE Master Chief Halo Action Figure, and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt".

Wear it everyday,everywhere for at least 7-8 months...lol...Take a stand, a personal crusade.

Fatsobob · 02-October-03, 10:29 PM

So the REAL REASON comes out! Your not made that YOU didn't get the "Action Figure", Your made that you didn't get the 'Action Figure" to SELL.

Oh well, At Least You Got A T-Shirt!
