Secondly, this game does not have an 'offline' version. :D Does it say this isn't an off-line game? If so, then combined with the "aditional fees" small print, you have no right of return. However, shops don't like unhappy customers and do not always insist on the strict law. But they don't have to give you a refund if there is nothing wrong with the product and you had the opportunity before buying to be aware of the restrictions.	Winston001 (3612)

I have to disagree with you on that one Winston. On-line fee type games would be an exception rather than the rule, so the seller should have brought this to the buyer's attention. This is especially important if the critical condition is in fine print that would not normally be read by a prospective buyer prior to purchase. The opportunity has to be genuine, and one that the average consumer would readily identify before purchase. I reckon if this one was taken on, it would be a winner. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
312256	2005-01-09 20:37:00	Well it seems I had nothing to worry about. :blush: So lets change this thread to...What the hell kind of software company makes a game that you have to pay $USD 12.99 PER MONTH to play? I mean I like Squaresoft (Square something else now) games, but there is no way I'm paying anything after the initial purchase.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
312257	2005-01-19 23:16:00	Well, I went to www . firstin . co . nz this morning and got a brand new 17" flatscreen CRT monitor for $0! They had messed up and put the price in at $0 instead of $99 . 95 . I initially thought that there was no way they'd give me a monitor for free, but I got an email saying that they had screwed up and they want to support their shoppers so I'm getting it for nothing! Now that's awesome - consumer guarantees act be damned!! :thumbs: So everyone should go and visit their site - they have an awesome new deal everyday and they look after their customers better than anyone I've ever seen!	cfc_lions (6830)

WOW! Nice ;) I don't understand how this relates to this whole thread though . Anyway, I haven't heard about them before . Who's behind them? Don't seem to have any contact details, etc .	~sy~ (95)
312259	2005-01-20 00:46:00	Yeah right. Looks like a desperate ploy to atract hits to me. Edit. Strange site, I shall reserve judgement on it i think. Still, With no contacts details.....	Metla (12)

Does the name Colin Brown mean anything to anybody? :eek: A colleague also got a 17" monitor for $10 . Should have been $99 . 95 . Looks like he's back . . . . . :@@:	Miami Steve (2128)
312261	2005-01-20 01:42:00	Wow, that is one cheao monitor.... nice deal .... I think...	george12 (7)
312262	2005-01-20 01:47:00	Awww I can't beleive I missed it. :(. I mean, $100 is still good but $0 + $10 would be better. It is amazing that they honoured it though. In fact.... I think they might have done it deliberately - the reactions have been great, so it probably made more money than it lost, building their reputation at the same time. Very smart indeed.	george12 (7)
312263	2005-01-20 02:00:00	Ah! This explains it all . It's owned by Colin Brown . I just did a whois search on the domain, and bingo! there goes good old Colin's name . Will he ever give up? I guess not .	~sy~ (95)
