TM ETE Canadian' buyers beware!
Shinu \| 1:33 PM on 02.12.2008	9 comments

This concerns the canadian version of Twisted Metal Head-On Extra Twisted Edition for the PS2.
The game box mentions in both french and english that it includes a "detailed artbook" and a
"free soundtrack download". However, the game does not include the artbook nor any information whatsoever about the soundtrack download.

So I called Sony. I was told to look for the download code in the artbook it didn't come with.
After that I was put on hold and told that the artbook and download were USA-only. Trouble is, it's clearly written as coming with the game on the canadian game box. So in the end I was told to write an email to Sony. I am expecting a positive answer where I can get the artbook and the soundtrack download. If not, I will file a complain to the office of consumer's protection.

This is the cream of the crop of BS for Canadian' gamers. I remember getting shafted in many pre-orders, but this one is solid gold (or poo)

I hate stuff like that, I went out of my way to pre order Patapon for PSP at EB games and they never even heard of the free demo..shafted. Plus we had to wait like a figgen extra month for No More Heroes to even launch in Canada (well BC).

Then you have on the game websites quesions you can answer and after you spent 10 minutes filling them in and submitting it, it tells you Canada is excluded.

Crappy indeed.

Shinu

It's not just crappy, this time it's also clearly a fraud.

Totally!

I don't think I encountered an issue like that though with games, its mostly pre-order issues.

False advertising on their part...tsk tsk

Shinu

I scanned the print. Arrgh, i'm so pissed about this.

Yeah thats straight up lying/fasle advertising if people in Canada don't get it, especially since it is written in French as well!

They messed up on this one.

Doctor Payne

I'm pretty sure that God of War did the exact same thing with the soundtrack, translating the offer for a free download into French even though it wasn't available in Canada. I remember spending minutes (minutes!) signing up for an account and trying to download the OST through some shitty Sony download service, only to find out that I couldn't.

Shinu

We shouldn't put up with that. And I won't.

Shinu

Ok, I received a response from the email i sent to sony. They said to call back. They better not tell me to send an email again afterware and try to make me run in circles! I'll call in a few so I'll let you know of any developement concerning this ridiculous case.

Shinu

I got a case number so they will be calling me back in 2-3 business days. This is so annoying.
