OK today was a pretty shit day due to it raining non-stop and I was unable to get any work done. So I thought to my self **** it I'll drive to woden and cancel my order of UO:SE Cause they have delayed it 3 times already.

Here is the transcript of what was said.
(to the best of my memory)

PS. the game is acculty called Ultima Online: Samurai Empire
Quote:

EB Muppet - Who's next?

Other Customer - He was first.

Me - Thanks, mate. (Turns to EB Muppet) I'd like to cancel these preorders please.

EB Muppet - Why are you cancelling?

Me - You guys screwed up the release date and now Games Warehouse is selling it. Can I have my money back please.

EB Muppet - Samurai Warrior. . .well, you know that they are doing that illegally. Only EB has the exclusive rights to -

Me - What are you talking about?

EB Muppet - If you buy off them the game won't be supported!

Me - Haha, supported? Do you even know what the game is?

EB Muppet - Yes, Samurai Warrior.

Me - *Sigh* Gimme my money back. Thanks. Now one more question, how much are you selling GTA for?

Other Customer - Yeah, I was after that too.

EB Muppet - That's $99.95, so that's a copy each?

Me - No thanks. I just bought this one at K-Mart for $66. Bye.

Other Customer - Wow, cool. Thanks, mate. Didn't know they sold it.

EB Muppet - . . . .

just a question, what is the game all about?....Sorry i haven't been keeping up with whats new in the gaming world :D,and why would EB say that gaming warehouse is selling it illegaly? HEHE send gaming warehouse an email and tell them of what happened, EB could be done for defermation :p.....but most likely a stern phone call from one company to another telling them to not bad mouth them or legal action would be taken

A mate for a reply from Games Warehouse.

Quote:
"The stock we have is, indeed, imported from the USA since there was no Aussie distributor offering it to us.
EB may believe they have 'exclusive' rights, but the Federal Government made parallel importing explicitly legal this year, so what they mostly would have is sour grapes that they are losing sales to us (again)."
