Three Copies of Generations

[mysticmirror]

Thanks for all the information Pam. I still haven't talked to them yet about what to do with my extra copies but I still plan to for my own conscious. I thought about if I should gift them to people on this forum as I would love to do that but the more I thought about it the more I thought it was a bad idea. One, for the fact that we would have to give out information that should not be given out and two, it would be completley unfair to some that didn't get a copy while I picked and choosed who did. So I guess I'm not going to do that. Maybe I'll just keep them wrapped up in their nice little package and one day when my kids are old and grey maybe they will be worth some money, you never know.

I got the same response that everyone else did.

Garcia: Hi, my name is Garcia. How may I help you?
Heather: Hi Garcia did you get my question?
Garcia: Hello
Garcia: yes
Garcia: Which game are you referring about?
Heather: What am I supposed to do with the extra copies I was sent? The Sims 3 Generations
Garcia: If you wish you can keep the extra copy of the game or if you wish you can return the game to our warranty department.But do not worry you won't be charged for the second order,
Heather: So we may keep them and I won't be charged?
Garcia: yes
Heather: Okay, I just wanted to do the right thing and did not want to keep them if I wasn't supposed to
Garcia: So what would you want to do?
Garcia: Keep the game?
Heather: I guess keep them
Garcia: ok

I guess I kind of see where they're coming from the shipping charges alone they would probably lose money. But on the other hand a lot people gifting the game to friends they will lose money that way too. Guess they really messed up on this one.

Hrm, well, if this EP has lower than usual sales, at least they'll have some idea why.

Well being that they didn't even know they were sent out I'm sure they won't loose too much. The cost of producing a CD is much less expensive than sending everyone shipping materials to return the extras. And then the manpower to receive all the extras. It was probably in their best interest financially to just let us keep them. I guess if they were to lose money it would be on the people that we give the discs to that now won't be spending the money to buy them.

Thanks for the disclosure Pam. I hope your feeling ok.

So glad I decided not to pre-order now lol what a mess that would have been. I'll be picking up my copy of Generations on Thursday.
