“while supplies last” my ass

So the Sloat gamestop screwed me over, and i have decided not to partake of their wares any longer. Here is the brief story :(

So, one of my favorite DS games is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, so when the news that the sequel was coming to the US i went and pre-ordered 2 copies (one for me, and one for a Christmas present) little did i know then, that for pre-ordering; i was supposed to receive the phoenix wright finger stylus (which is something i had wanted, but found was only available in Japan). Once i found out i was excited, and i asked the clerk at the store about them. his words were “Oh, those will come when we receive the game, you will get yours when you pick yours up”

Sadly, i went to pick up my game on the day it was released (well, more like the night because i had class) and was told they had run out. WTF? the clerk said “we didnt receive enough, so we gave them out on a first come first serve basis” What bullshit. I was promised when i purchased the game that it would be there, and now i was denied. The clerk then blew me off saying “oh, maybe we’ll get more.. call next week”

Saddened, i texted around to the usual crew and asked if anyone knew how to get one. What made me angry was, all my sources came back with the same response “The guy said they had enough only for the pre-orders, but they had enough for all of them” WTF? so the sloat store seems to be singled out in not receiving enough stylus…

Personally, i believe that the employees at the sloat store took a bunch of the stylus, which in turn kept me and others from receiving theirs. The employees in general were never very helpful.

In short, if i had preordered anywhere else (including online at gamestop.com) i would have received my stylus.. bastards.

Its not even all about the stylus- i just hate being lied to and cheated.
