I think he should have been happy they upgraded him to the hardened edition at no extra cost, most places would have just apologized. I do think it's right to be upset but he went to far and they did try to make there wrong right. I guess some people have no life other then playing CoD games all day and I guess this guy could not wait.

I don't want my hardened for 360, too much for something I'm not gonna use. Let me know if you're interested. I posted this up in the FS/FT threads.

So...video games don't cause violent thoughts...LACK OF VIDEO GAMES causes violent thoughts.
Or more realistically, being an escaped mental patient causes violent thoughts.

Buy.com messed up my pre-order. I didn't go on a killing spree. Anyways its not like he couldn't have walked to another store. "Upgrade" to a more expensive copy makes me think he pre-ordered the regular game and was offered the hardened edition.

No, they shouldn't have messed that up...but a free upgrade to the better version is hardly worth complaining about, let alone threatening violence over. Then again, it is bestbuy...those morons probably thought that the 360 version was an upgrade of the wii version because it cost $10 more, and if that was the case, then the 360 version would have been useless to the guy.

And then more than enough reason for his actions, after all does the world really need more idiocy?
(No I don't condone the actions of the Neanderthal, but i can definitely say I been in similar situations where I felt like that; difference between acting on your emotions and keeping them in check.)

See the FS thread, I'm selling a hardened if you want. Honestly I hate the game. Maps suck imo.

I know right? You have preorders of the amount that your are SUPPOSED to order but then you mess that up. Incompetency.

Many places messed up pre-orders. I think it had to do with Activision saying they'll get x copies but in the end giving them x-100 copies.

Yeah crap happens. I know many that made a pre-order and didn't get it and not just in video games. Apple has had it with the iPhones and other vendors too. You hit the nail on the head when you said the store was probably promised so many copies and the copies received were actually less than what was promised. Either way it is not the end of the world.

the store should have set aside enough copies to cover pre-orders. instead they sold out. this is consumer fraud. only valid excuse is if they didn't recieve enough copies to cover preorders... and even then olny if they don't sell any. it doesnt excuse the childish threats but his threats shouldn't give the store a pass on punitive dammages either.

Well the store goes by how many copies they'll receive from the publisher (Activision), in the end when Activision is ready to ship, they realize "Oh shit, we don't have these many copies". I pre-ordered the hardened about 1 1/2 months in advance. Got a week 5 days before release saying that they didn't have any.

It don't matter how many were shipped.... the store sold out! that implied someone walked in earlier than the preorder buyer and paid cash for the last copy in the store.
if that happens it is consumer fraud!

Cops tell the lamest jokes. But I'm not saying violence is ever the answer but best buy employees can be kinda rude. If you've ever asked anything more than "where is (----)" they turn into impatient brats.

Yea, just comes to show that's it not wise to play 8-12 hours a day on a single game, not only is it OCD borderline, but it will threaten your very life as you know it. Take heed to much of that crap will rot your brain guys, and he's the prime example of this.
