Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for Dreamcast $0.00 (Pricing Error?)

[Freejack2]

I ordered 1 million copies. Mind you I don't own a dreamcast and I have no idea where I will store 1 million copies but hey it's free!
Anyways I'm kidding. Don't own a dreamcast, don't want one, and don't need the game.
And Unknowndude, LIGHTEN UP! Sheesh. People are going to ruin deals anyhow. Deals cause of misprices almost always will not happen. If anything a huge quantity of people ordering a mispriced item will often result in the seller giving a good but honest deal on the item (I.E. Dartek and the Geforce Ultras). In that way it's a win-win. The vendor sells more merchandise and the buyers get a good deal.

 

[DefRef]

Hmmm. Ordered ONE. No charge to try.

 

[TimidOCer]

I only ordered 2 so that i can give one to a friend and one for me .. Anyone forgive me?

 

[DefRef]

Weird stuff going on at Sega. On the sale items page, Chu Chu Rocket is $25, but on the Top Ten Games list, it's only $10.

Huh?

 

[beatinitup]

ehhh "jojo's bizarre adventure is suck" dunno if the senior members remember that. heh, anyways the game sucks
The animation looks like it was made by a disney artist on crack. Plus since the software is out to ripp games yourself you dont even need to download warez. oh yeah the software is for educational purposes....im serious guys

someone found out about the pricing error on the IGN forum boards. People there are ordering it like crazy. . .

 

[gev115]

looks like it may not be such a hot deal after all... from stonecold x on the ugo dc forums.

DON"T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just called them to double check and they said that it was wrong. If you placed an order, they will charge you $49.95. They will not let you cancel on the phone, you need to refuse delivery to cancel the order. What a crock of $hit. Aren't they legally bound to sell it for $0? I am going to fight this one.

while this seems illegal, does it seem worth all that work when the game sucks anyway?

edit: how do you quote on this board?

 

[DefRef]

Gee...how do they plan on charging $50 when we have order numbers and printouts and screengrabs showing ZERO DOLLARS on the order.

Then can cancel due to the error, but they can't say "It was a mistake and you should've known about it so that'll be $50." Why not make it $5000, guys.

I think that guy is full of poo.

 

[Anon19]

well, everyone on the IGN boards are talking about sueing Sega. LOL
that crap is so funny. Some dude called Sega, he said at first they
were gonna charge you but then this other dude said its illegal to make
unauthorized charges on your card. He called again and they said they are
going to cancel all orders.

I'm just going on what those guys on the IGN boards saying.

 

[gev115]

here is another reply from gramps...

Just got the same answer from Sega.........$49.95.........even though error in listing! I was reluctant to order when they asked for credit card on website, so called to be sure! Beware...........

while you may be able to argue your way to a free game, does it seem like it's worth it for a game everyone says sucks? if you aren't sure, call yourself.

 

[DefRef]

Like I said, I have the printout and screen shot of the order. They can cancel the order, send me nothing and I won't care. BUT, if they try to bill me $50, IT'S ON!!!

 

[Kwad Guy]

They'd be IDIOTS to ship these knowing that there's a pricing
error. They sent out receipts showing a total cost of $0.00, so
they have no legal leg to stand on. All they can do is PAY a
shipper to come to your house and pick it up. So they get to pay
for shipping both ways, have to deal with deadbeats, etc.

MUCH cheaper for them to simply cancel the orders.

the games sucks lol

 

[FrankRizzo]

beatinitup: that's cool, I didn't know about the ripping software. Unfortunately you must connect your PC to the DC w/ serial cable and it can take up to 1 day!! yikes!! it is funny though

What about all the dudes that ordered 1,000,000 copies? that's $50,000,000 + shipping! - I bet the UPS guy will be really pi$$ed off!

 

[Ranger X]

You get what you deserve, if you ordered 1,000,000 copies.

 

[DefRef]

Well, if you hit the link now, you get this:

Uh-oh. Something went wrong.
Try whatever you just tried again. If you still get this stupid message, contact us. (500)

I'M CALLING MY LAWYERS RIGHT NOW!!! SEGA CAN'T PULL THIS SHIZNIT!!!

 

[goucberkeley]
