| 503170 | 2006-11-30 02:26:00 | Without further info we could all be jumping to conclusions. Several video cards that I've bought in the past had bundled oem copies of games that I never bothered installing. Any large retailer is probably awash with similar disks. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 503171 | 2006-11-30 03:14:00 | Yes they do have a good reputation and good customer service. Yes they did supply the OEM games that came with his (replaced) card. Yes they were isos. On writeable CD mdia. Still.....the actions of one staff member......not the entire shop. No its not an urban myth. I just put a firewall etc on this PC. I've seen them. No I'm not reporting anyone. The kids in raptures... So out of their act of kindess, they shoot themselves in the foot. They did that themselves when they decided to give him isos rather than the real thing. |

| 503174 | 2006-11-30 03:50:00 | I wouldn't knock Ascent for making it up to the kid with freebies... even if they didn't cost the company. Obviously they did good as he's wrapped with the games. Some companies could learn a bit about customer service from Ascent :thumbs: |

Some companies could learn a bit about customer service from Ascent :thumbs: Well any company could have good customer service if you call giving away illegal copies of games good customer service. Imagine the PC sales I could get if I said I would throw in a copy of the latest games for no extra charge! |

| 503179 | 2006-11-30 20:22:00 | Question for Pctek: did the actual CD's\DVD's and licence Keys come with the ISO's? if thats the case then its basically a "backup" and from what i have learned is not illegal |
