Default Would you believe this.........?

I was in HMV today buying some DVD's and a new PSP game.

the girl serving me was so concerned with explaining how their point's scheme for game purchases works that she managed to give me an empty PSP game case.

I only discovered this when I got home so couldn;t do much about it tonight

So, when I go back tomorrow with a case minus disc and booklet, what are the chances of them believing me?

Possibly £35 down the swanny?

I once bought a CD with no disc in many years ago. They did give me a replacement with a disc the next day, so chances are you'll be alright. I wouldn't shop in HMV though Way too expensive

Insist that they do a stock-take if they dont deal with it properly.

Thumbs up

They may be expensive for some things, but I just got a boxed set of Duckula, and a boxed set of Tintin, and both were very cheap.

And NO silly comments please

Yes, it's OK, a stock-take will confirm that they have 1 disc too many ... sorted

happened to me once, it was "game" in meadowhall, bought that ps2 game forgot the name beat-em up using gloves.

when i got back the actual game wasn't there,

went back next day. explained to the manager, (luckily he was serving me )
that i bought it etc. and if he doesn't trust me told him to check in the stock room if there an extra game without the box.

came back 2 mins, and said the game was on the floor. must have dropped it.



ps . only played it twice

I was once working at a customer site about 75 miles away from work and went into HMV at lunchtime and bought a Deep Purple triple cd and it was only when I got home that I realised that cd 2 was missing, if the shop wasn't so far away I was going to go back and get it but 75 miles is a bit to far to travel just for a missing cd.

I would have gone into the local HMV and told em, Phonecall to the other and it would have been sorted
