Gamestop messed up.

My friend had his mom go to gamesop to preorder two copies of BF:BC for us and the guy at the counter apparently thought that the open beta key giveaway was part of IGN, not gamestop... Keep in mind the person preordering the games was a woman in her mid 50's, so she had no idea what she was talking about when preordering and believed the guy at the counter about not giving away keys. She came home with 2 receipts... thats it. no preorder box or keychain thingy or anything else, just 2 receipts.

We ended up calling the guy at the store back and told him to enter our e-mail addresses in the computer for us to be eligible to receive the beta keys. I was reading a forum and a guy said that he had preordered his copy onlya few hours after we preordered ours and that he had received his key the next day at 3:30.

I have yet to receive my key and so am wondering, since they had keys to give away at the time of our purchases and that an incompetent employee screwed everything up, can i demand a key from gamestop?

this is why i always go with my parents to preorder my games, they have no idea what thwere doing. and yes if u preordered the game and theyhad an offer where you get access to the beta. your entitled to the beta ket. take your receipt to the gamestop tell them to give you your beta ket. if they dont. burn down the sob.:Dag3ntz3rox0x

lol. Well, my friend just called me and told me his dad (a friggin GOD when it comes to computers, can and will tell you anything you could ever want to possibly know about anything) said that their site has been down since yesterday, so maybe they can't send the keys because of it?

All beta keys at this point from Gamestop have been exhausted. If you did the pre-orders on thursday there still may be a chance to get the beta. Any time after that you will not get one.

yes we preordered ours on thursday around 6:00, about 2 and 1/2 hours before the other guy did and he already has his beta key. if i dont get a key, that idiot behind the counter is getting fired. :D

But when did you actually get all your info put into the computer regarding the key is the real question... and someone not giving you a beta key isn't, by any means, going to get them fired much less a slap on the hand.

I am shocked that someone making about $9 an hour at most didn't know anything!pinionxl

in my mind, it doesn't matter how much they are paid. they should know the details of the job they are assigned.
