    Default GAME robbed me

    I posted in another thread about selling my xbox one ticket from game to a couple for the £20 that i paid, anyway they changed thier mind, so i bought it.
    Went to game to pick it up, day one edition with fifa 14, before i paid they said there is some offers so i had a look, console on its own we all know is £429 i had £500 cash on me, i seen a premium bundle for £499 which was 2 games of my choice out 5 or 6 selected games and a bluray to chose 1 out of 6 so i went for that, i picked dead rising 3 and ryse and wolverine, any way it scaned at £544. Hold on i said id picked the £499 bundle, 1 guy tried to sort it out then the manager came over and said its right, the reason been fifa 14 is listed in that bundle i picked, yes i seen that but i get fifa 14 free with the day one edition as a sort of thank you from microsoft for chosing thier system. He said head office said it has to be paid for in that bundle, i was going mad in the store saying thats its wrong you cant charge me for a game that comes free with the console.

    In the end i just bought the console as i dont see why i should pay for a game thats free.
    Should i phone head office to moan like fuck.

    Yes, I would. But, I would have (if you have only cash hard) bought the full monty and then argued looking for refund of £44. They may deny this, sorry, our manager should not have done this, blah blah blah.

    Yes, you should. I had a very similar argument with Game when I bought a PS3 and ended up having to pay for a game I didn't want due to a bundle mixup. Long story short, letter into chairmans office and I got given money back for the game I didn't want, let me keep the game (which I traded in for extra), and gave me £50 in game vouchers.

    Same here, I had an issue a few weeks ago with Game and emailed the ceo within a couple of hours a regional manager was emailing me back offering compensation.

    It's always best to go straight to the top with a complaint rather than through their website.

    It was Ian Shepherd I emailed, but Gibbs replaced him last year so BB's details will probably work.

    Have you tried the fuse in the power brick plug? Happened to me after playing for a while with Xbox in an enclosed media bay ( I know, I know schoolboy error!)

    i just swapped lead for a x360 one for now, and back up and running.
