...then again he wears an alarm clock. - mobilehavoc, on 04/17/2008, -2/+27Would be hysterical if the truck did get stolen and people were left without recourse because of the 'joke'
- nanded, on 04/17/2008, -1/+19"EB Customer Support, how can I help you?"
"Yeah, I didn't get my copy of GTA4"
"Truck got stolen."
"Yeah, but my brother in San Diego also didn't..."
"Stolen Truck, been a rash of of these things lately"
"So ... do I get my money ba..."
"Thank you for calling EB games." **click** - eyepatch100, on 04/17/2008, -2/+18Then again he is never late for an appointment
- R0ck3t33r, on 04/17/2008, -7/+22Oh, boo hoo.
I think the real tragedy here is the fact that you waited in line for a PS3 in the first place. - Shawn4168, on 04/17/2008, -1/+15/violin
- mywhitenoise, on 04/17/2008, -2/+12I don't know why you're getting buried, this wasn't funny at all. I guess Digg is just filling up with a lame audience who finds humor in overused meme's, dumb ***** like "Epic fail.".
- Matteos, on 04/17/2008, -2/+9The truck is a lie.
- Jeffler, on 04/17/2008, -1/+73 months later "Gamestop charged with stealing own delivery trucks to rip off gamers"
- peevatoe, on 04/17/2008, -3/+9did people pre-order GTA IV? i'm really not too worried about finding a copy on the day of
- torrbarra, on 04/17/2008, -5/+11Wow what an informative and interesting story. I am writing this sentence just so my comment will be longer and funnier than the article.
- inactive, on 04/17/2008, -3/+9"Mom and Pop video game store?" Where the hell is that?
- endlessoul, on 04/17/2008, -2/+7Captain Jean Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. (Damn, now I have that YTMND stuck in my head)
Kif doesn't have 5 fingers. - theNorthcutt, on 04/17/2008, -3/+8That was about as funny as a Carrot Top cameo on Everyone Loves Raymond.
- threemagic, on 04/17/2008, -1/+6So did the white rabbit.. they both lead pretty cool lives.
- SKick, on 04/18/2008, -1/+5Ooo, an autobiography.
- stabbingkittens, on 04/18/2008, -2/+6I see what you did there
- djSyndrome, on 04/17/2008, -13/+17Gamestop.com has been running this pre-order 'humor' for awhile now. And nope, it's still not funny.
- deadnoob, on 04/17/2008, -2/+6Maybe because most of the people don't get "bent over". Someone like my younger cousin goes in, buys his game and leaves. Theres no real way of bending him over if thats all hes doing.
I'm not defending EB or Gamestop or whatever, but don't get pissed at others for shopping there. - darkism, on 04/17/2008, -5/+9But are they responsible if the courier gets overrun by Battletoads?
- lennybird, on 04/17/2008, -1/+4Not even...
- thedb, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3Unless it's just not a joke at all. A friend of mine claims to have gotten a new MacBook Pro from Apple after the DHL truck carrying her repaired PowerBook was stolen. Bet Apple wished they'd used that degree of specificity in their disclaimers.
- Shirly, on 04/17/2008, -2/+4I shot the Sheriff.
- UnWeave, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3I assume when you say bent over, you're speaking figuratively. Except I don't get it. Surely you're the one getting bent over for paying more than you have to?
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -1/+3In my mind, Digg is a place for technology news, occasional politics and humor. Not stupid jokes on websites.
- dafragsta, on 04/17/2008, -2/+4The limited edition is actually pretty badass for this one. That probably won't be quite as available.
- LocDawg, on 04/18/2008, -3/+4I'm pissed at EB ever since they cancelled my pre-order for BATTLETOADS.
- dafragsta, on 04/17/2008, -2/+3They both also took a lot of drugs.
- dreesemonkey, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Loaf of bread? Is that you?
- veeshy, on 04/17/2008, -3/+4maybe they were serious?
- the3rdkey, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Are people so dumb that they don't know Gamestop is EB!!!
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -2/+3Not Digg worthy.
- dastardlydud, on 04/17/2008, -2/+3I killed the radio star.
- jsin1276, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2EB is no more as it is only GameStop. There can be only one.
- DaManDOH, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1As long as you got the quarters.
- djSyndrome, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1Because he always Knows What Time It Is.
- DaManDOH, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1Actually, that could have been hilarious... in an ironic sense. Especially if Ol' Top was still 'roided out.
Someone get Brad Garrett on the phone! - golfer931, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1They obviously know something you dont
- DaManDOH, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1Hey, don't forget GameStop's "Christmas gift stickers" campaign. Those were chuckle-worthy funny, IMHO.
- Mossman85, on 04/17/2008, -4/+4What's this? Webmasters are human?
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1"why do you wear a clock, you never had to be anywhere in 30 years"
- Mpwns, on 04/18/2008, -2/+2for me i dont really care about gta4 i had my fill after 3. it just like madden in a way every year we get a new one with minor tweaks with doing more of the same. and who really cares about online the hard core gta fans already did it with pc mods. now a mmo set in the gta world be fun. and i think thats the next step for gta, gta4 online modes is testing the waters for an mmo imo. just think if we could chose being a cop or a thug in the mmo and it was pvp on all servers. quest could be like go rob x and for the cop it can be go stop x from being rob. so in the end its not a npc you gotta kill for xp its another player. no xp for robing the place just money or ammo make it so only player vs player grants xp.
- mrbojangles9211, on 04/17/2008, -2/+2Absolutely hilarious.
- ClevelandBrown, on 04/18/2008, -0/+0damnit, ya'll screwed it up!
- stabbingkittens, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1What the f*ck are you talking about? They are a retail outlet that sells games. That's it. At what point am I being forceably sodomised? Surely not price, because you gladly give "mom and pop" an extra $2. So am I missing something here? I actually think they are great. Buy a game, finish it in less than a week, full refund for another one. Mom and pop won't do that.
- Goldennova, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1Somebody should steal a truck full of GTAIV, just to see what EB Games would do.
- Azuroth, on 04/18/2008, -2/+2Ohhhh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok.
- Comp1demon, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1The one thing they forgot is if the delivery Truck drivers steals your package.
Now I have seen it happen! - DaManDOH, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1Funny how fundamentally democratic sites like Digg.com can sometimes expose you to things you didn't know about, you didn't want to know about, or you didn't care about, isn't it? One might even call it...
...enlightening.
Sometimes, we have to take what we consider the "good" with the "bad" and even the "irrelevant." They can be damned inconvenient, those opinions of people who aren't you. -
