For my birthday I was given £30 voucher for GAME. It was in the style of those new credit cards thingy’s. With Pro Evo 6 around the corner I thought I would pre order it online using this voucher for part payment. Its £39.99 plus postage online and will be £49.99 in the shop so its a no brainer, that is until you try top pay with a gift card. SORRY WE CANNOT ACCEPT GIFT CARDS YET. is what the system said, so I called them up, kicked off a bit about how I had to pay £10 more in the shop just because you can accept the gift card online. Rather than offering vouchers for the inconvenience and difference that I will have to pay because of their outdated systems, they advised I sit tight on the gift card and use it in about a year when their website will accept the payment method. I laughed at this suggestion, expressed my disappointment, pointed out I am probably not the only GAME gift cardholder, and hung up.
I then returned to the trusted site of Play.Com where I pre ordered it for £39.99 including delivery. So everyone please use PLAY.Com instead of GAME.
SO I was now stuck with a GAME gist card so I went to the shop and purchased X Box Live. Now I wasn’t sure what to expect with this but all I can say is WOW. Easy to set-up (Plod Helped) we were online gaming within 15 minutes. PGR 3 was our chosen weapon and it was great. The banter between drivers, the swearing when people hit a wall and the complete and utter rubbish ness of some people really make X Box Live awesome. Admittedly some people on there sound like they have been smoking to much Moroccan wood bind, but hey.......who really cares, not even the government now.
I can’t wait for PES 6 to arrive and get that bad boy over X Box Live. I think Tammy will soon become an X Box widow.
