ugh! this sucks

I have 48 bucks sitting in my wallet and i thought hey you know what im gonna go to the store to get coh:gve and coh: mac edition because i want the in game stuff. now i dont have a credit card so i cant get them online and my parents wont pay for them. so i go to best buy and they dont have any coh games. i then go to game stop and they dont have any coh games. I though well crap, ill try walmart and they didnt have them. so i drove 27 miles to a fry electronics and they didnt have them. only coh game i saw while going to these stores was at frys electronics and it was a couple of copies of coh:architect edition. Ugh! this sucks.

Divorce your parents.

No charge for that advice.

open a checking account with your 48 bucks. they'll give you a debit card which you can then use to purchase pr0n ... err, i mean CoH ... online

go to a currency exchange or whatever there called for you and get one of them icecards or whatever pay as you go debit cards they offer. its like ten bucks for the card and allows you to replace money whenever ya want more on your card. all u need is a id of some sort. and a pc or phone to activate it when u go home . no need to open a bank account and it will allow you to purchase anything online as long as you have balance

visa gift card should also work

I'm actually rather suprised that Walmart, Gamestop AND FYE didn't have it. Generally places like Gamestop keep older games (especially MMO's) for years and years because they'll still sell.
But, I guess that's what you get for not calling the stores in advance (especially if they're 27 miles out) to see if they're even carrying the thing you're looking for.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but since they merged all of the CoH games together a long time ago, wouldn't a purchase of Architect Edition give you the full game? And probably a free month as well?

Oh, you think that sucks? I'll tell ya what sucks, having a bunch of money on my Visa Credit Card ready to plonk down on a 5 mission slot MA expansion at the NCSoft store and getting the response, "Payment could not be accepted for your order."

Ya know, I'd feel okay about this if I had no credit on the card, if it was an obscure card, or, and here's where things get me really quite irrate, IF IT WASN'T THE EXACT SAME CARD THAT I USE TO HAVE MY SUBSCRIPTION PAID EVERY MONTH!!

So, I feel for you, I'm in New Zealand, and I suspect that is the issue, and I'll wait for Niviene to read her PM's and respond before I get too annoyed about it, but this is the sole outlet for these products, and I can't use it. Colour me miffed.

will a really great card trick make you feel better? Hope so.

cool card trick. and yea cheers to good magicians.

That was a cool card trick. I liked the arm trick before it as well.

Very cool card trick! I also liked the IQ test!

Classic trick, way fun!
