I posted this in another area but I figured I'd put it here too... It is kinda funny now that I've cooled off a bit... EA jokesters... hmph...

OK some background info:
Guitar RMA'd 11/21 thru express, Drums RMA'd on 11/26 thru express.

***Now my story***

~~DING-DONG~~ goes my doorbell...
I eagerly run to my front door like a kid on Christmas morning runing to unwrap gifts. I say to myself, "I finally got my drumkit!!!" (which by the way I was able to track and was expecting it today). At my front door are two boxes looking up at me...

I thought to myself "Hmm... 2 thin boxes... Thats odd... Wait..my guitar RMA!!!!! SWEET they're both coming today!!! And this second box..could it be???? Did I get a free @#$!@#$ guitar?!?!?!? JACKPOT BABY!!!!! Matching bass and lead!!!!!"

I run to the kitchen and grab a knife to open the packages!! Sure enough! 2 M-fn guitars!!!! OH HELL YEAH!!! Then I pause... my glee turns to gloom, a very sad, dark, lonely place... I'm too distraught to continue...

Here is a picture... they say they're worth 1000 words... you see for yourself...

Oops... PS3 instead of Xbox. That's a downer. Hopefully you get the right drums.

I lol'd. That seriously sucks though man, hopefully I don't end up with an Xbox360 controller when my RMA arrives. Maybe I'll get "lucky" like you were and get 2 PS3 controllers. What do you plan on doing at this point ?

Wow, finally someone who seems to be having worse luck with this whole thing than me! Although I actually hope two PS3 controllers show up on my doorstep, so I can actually play this game with 4 people.

Wait, I still haven't received my replacements yet, so I guess how my luck goes remains to be seen.

That seriously sucks dude.

That seriously sucks dude.
Although to give others hope this may or may not have happened to me, but I have a PS3.

It happened to me as well, and I requested a PS3 replacement. Maybe its just happening with the PS3 ones sent out? Very strange indeed :eek:

The best part is...the RMA on the paperwork and the "packing list" says "xbox360 drumkit". This RMA's not even for the stinking guitar...

I have you beat. After waiting almost 3 weeks (RMA started on launch day), I got 2 F*ing empty boxes. Yes, my credit card was given. Yes, I have spoken to a manager that promised I was getting replacements first. I'm so mad right now I don't even know where to begin.

Of course, doing a charged back as Gamestop won't take my stuff back even though it's not their fault.

I am NEVER EVER buying an EA game ever again, and I typically like EA games. I work for a major internet company, so believe me, the word is getting out.
