Edit: ooo, I understand.
I might use this one, the worker wont read it because it's so long.

Because your more likely to get an 'Attention all retailers' letter sent to yourself, opposed to a retailer?
Nah lol.Quote:

The Gamestation manager where I live is a fat guy who just eats every time I see him, he also has greasy hair, a nose stud and wears black boots. I think I'll keep my money OUT. ;)Quote:

good luck trying
Not all companies do good grammar or spelling, I have had e-mails and letters from companies like Britvic which don't have 'professional' writing, whatever that is...Quote:

Fair play to you for trying. If mine wasn't on pre-order I might of considered doing this myself lol. But like you say its only 2 days you have to wait now so what have you got to lose.Quote:

I was just wondering, are you selling it here now? Or will I have to give my money to GAME, I really don't like the attitude of their staff so I tend to shop here in Gamestation, I find the people are kinder. So any way, are you selling it or do I have to give my money to GAME, I just want the game like 7 other people on my Xbox Live freinds list'.
I'm considering my tactics... LUL.
I wouldn't do it either, just for the risk of humiliation. Much easier to walk in with my mate whos collecting his 4 day early pre-order and ask for a copy for myself ;)
My mate was thinking about trying what you said above, I'd recommend it over that letter.
Doesn't mean they'll have A* quality writing with parts written in latin informing you in huge, descriptive words describing the release...Quote:

But someone who can't grasp past/current/future tense in writing a formal letter isn't really employed to do so.Quote:

Hmmm, true, but people do make grammar mistakes like this in companies and businesses all the time and most people ignore it because there isn't a reason to really complain other than for the sake of it. Where was this has/have word which was supposedly bad grammar anyway? I can't see it :PQuote:

Draw me up a map and scan it onto your PC, I remember playing Huddersfield Sharks last season... it's about 30 minutes away. :DQuote:

The very first sentance, I doubt a mistake like that would be madeQuote:

They'll just say you wrote it yourself, it's addressed to retail outlets, so they'll just wonder why you have it and say that they haven't been sent it so it must be fake
Map from where? If you can tell me a place in Huddersfield town centre you know of I can direct you.
Do you mean:Quote:

That's correct by the looks of it because the below makes no sense:

Well, I guess they can only do anything if there's a written contract saying they wont sell before 29th.
