Gold dots pink dots or as high lighted, it doesn't matter. All you cheapos are after is free stuff. It is simple to understand that they wouldn't offer newer games for free. It will be the hard to move titles. But hell something for nothing is still a good deal. Don't give the staff a hard time, experience has told me that it is usually someone in a head office somewhere that has stuffed up and the poor bloody staff are left to clear up that miss. I do notice on my visits to both DSE & HN that they are always putting up appology notices. You think that someone would get it right the first time dont you? I have been into both the Columbo St & The Palms branch in Christchurch and bought games this week and never had a problem. Each time they have given me the 2nd game for free without complaint. Different at the Papanui Branch though, The manager there really wanted to argue the point so I left and went to The Palms for the games. The kids are happy so I'm happy ! get real guys, nothing is for free these days...... No, it is about being fair and reasonable, and misleading bait advertising that has misled a customer into the store is not fair to the customer. I am not familar with the advert, but when you buy something and get the second for free, it isn't really free, you are just getting both titles for half price. I do know DSE make a lot of errors in their advertising campaigns from my personal experience, I doubt these are intentional, but they may not be taking enough care to check things. If something is incorrectly advertised or you belive the advertising doesn't explain speciifc terms clear enough, step up and be assertive. I agree, don't give the staff on the shop floor grief as they are paid a poor wage, but do ask to speak to management if you don't think something s not fair, as they are paid to deal with that responsibility.	robbyp (2751)

If that is too much work for you, get the extended warranty. Most places are willing to give you the extended warranty for a fraction of the price they first try to sell it to you at. I recently purchased an extended warrenty from DSE for an ipod for 3 years, and reading through the pamphlet, the warrenty gave me no more coverage than what the CGA did.However the reason I got it was that I was told by the salesman that if it ever failed during the extended warrenty period, they would just switch it for a new one and it would be the newest model. Under the CGA they would probably only give me a refurbished one.	robbyp (2751)
