| 89165 | 2002-10-14 18:50:00 | Due to the commerce commission's recent investigation of EA's 'Buy One Get On Free' offer, I received five dollars for a game I purchased. However, I actually bought two games by this offer. How can I contact EA NZ to get in touch with them? | SpiderVenom (1412) | ||

| 89167 | 2002-10-15 04:50:00 | Go on ... You accepted the "misleading" terms ... and got a free game for $5 which they described as handling and postage. I would say that it did cost them that for each game they sent out. They have sent you a cheque for $5, and you want to sting them for another cheque. You are a meanie ;-) I suppose they should have sent a password to allow you to download a "free" game. But the leaflet they include with the letter and cheque describes the terms of the 2 for 1 offers they have now very carefully. |

| 89170 | 2002-10-15 06:27:00 | This was nearly a year ago. 2 people complained to the Commerce Commission, who decided it was "misleading" to say the extra game was "free" when there was a $5 charge for handling/postage. So EA printed a letter with a cheque and sent one to everyone who took the offer up. Must have cost them a LOT. | Graham L (2) | ||
