Well I bought it refurbished from Newegg for $70. It has a 60 day moneyback guarantee from newegg. If it takes a shit after that I will eat the $70 loss...probably sell it on ebay for $20 as broken.

I would suggest www.smallnetbuilder.com if you have any router/network questions. Probably way better than any companies customer service.

Well, my issue was (still is) with the AC Adapter, so I'm just speaking to their customer service in general. I'm still within warranty, and a replacement for my model is actually pretty hard to find. So yeah, flash back to 2 weeks ago when they RECEIVED the faulty AC Adapter, and I'm still waiting, after 4 phone calls, 2 emails, and 2 chat sessions, all of which gave me different information or timelines. And the kicker is, it's just a damn replacement.

yeah a good company would send one out ASAP and if you don't send back the broken one within 30 days they charge you. Simple solution....at least for the customer.

Yep. Been saying that basically every chat/email/whatever. I had two Dell's that had Hard Drives bite it, and I had a replacement Hard Drive within 3 days of calling customer service.

In this case, I will likely go 3 weeks without being able to use the product that I purchased, due to their faulty equipment, because of their silly "company protocol".

$25 at Best Buy. I haven't tested it out yet.

Waltzed into GameStop to pay off Stick of Truth before Tuesday and while I'm waiting on the cashier she answers the phone with a "GameStop! Where we have PS4's in stock RIGHT NOW!" In which case I do one of these and then proceed to inquire about what she had just exclaimed... So I came home with:

[Twigg4075]

$9.99 (New) and $8.99 (Used) respectively.

[JayDizzle]

and $5 on inFamous: Second Son.

All told, $50 and some change total.

[Swarley]

You better post about your Alpha Protocol playthrough.

You better post about your Alpha Protocol playthrough.

One about getting all the bosses in the game to be my allies.

One about me playing Bond and getting it in with all the romance options.

One where I wreck everyone's face at the end.

Was Dragon Age 2 seriously $50 used?!?

Under the pictures he said he paid $50 for everything.

[Primetime]

Yes, he got all 3 other games for "some change".

No shit. But Jay is norious for trading in his games and he tends to not count the trade-in credit in the amount of what he paid.

I've been having the weird desire to play The Sims 3 lately, so I picked it up. With the new consoles in my entertainment center, I don't have a place for my older consoles at the moment, so they've had to be put away. Because of that, I picked up the Prince of Persia HD Trilogy b/c I've been wanting to play those recently. Alpha Protocol was $3, and I loved it so much on my PS3 playthrough, I figured what the hell. And of course, just picked up South Park today.
