It is possible that there was an issue unrelated to the ending or the need for multi-player. There might have been an issue related to someone stealing activation codes from the boxes, for example--that has happened before with other games and other retailers.

Jumping to conclusions is not productive.

Agreed. It's not an April Fools joke, it's only the Xbox, and it probably has nothing to do with the ending - which sucked.

Product was discribed as being something that it was not. There I justified the complaint, and the reason that it worked.

It was described as being a functioning game.

It is a functioning game.

All other arguments are bull.

And people here argue against being called "entitled".

-You realize that certain nations had a crapload of issues aside from the standard bugs? I believe that 360ies in italy was next to implayable due to some import bug or something.

As for Functioning game: Define "Functioning". To the letter. Prz.

HAHAHAH....Guys it's april fools day...

April Fool's is about pranks - rotating youtube by 180, writing about San Seriffe. Pulling one of the biggest games of the year so far is not prank.

"This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a  customer
recently told us that the item he or she received was not as described"

Doesn't make sense that Amazon would do that based off one customer...

I am calling April fools day shenanigans on this.....

Please do me a favour and google this :

"This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a customer"

Then comeback and tell me more about april fools day jokes . A lot of results, various dates, various products ...

Fair enough.  You may have a point.  But I suggest you wait until tomorrow before proclaiming yourself correct.

It's hard to take ANYTHING reported on April fools day as genuine....

A major retail site is not going to purposely close sales on a product just for April Fools. You'd be doing a diservice to yourself and also harm your reputation with the publishing company.

I don't see how anyone can see this as a joke.

I think this is a good thing for the gaming industry as a whole. It sends the message that you can't get away with misrepresenting the functionality of your product. Game developers have done this, if not outright lied, about certain apsects of their games for many years now with no reprucussions from either consumers or government entities. It has to stop, and I think this is a sign that people are beginning to reject the unethical practice of advertising that if not false, is at the very best disingenuous.

What? It's a sign that people are abusing a complaints system to try and stop people from buying a game they didn't like. Nothing more.

I thought the FCA complaints and the Retake campaign and the people posting messages recruiting suicide bombers was the worst it could get. Actively lying so that retailers' systems stop selling the product? That's a new low.

Are you serious? Have you not read the pre-release statements of Mass Effect's endings made by the developers? If you have, are you seriously suggesting that the comments they made were true?

Considering that the BioWare developers did make statements in their advertising campaign regarding the ending that turned out to be untrue, the FTC is exactly the place to file complaints to if you're a U.S. citizen. Also, what is wrong with the Retake movement? And provide one piece of evidence that anyone lied to Amazon regarding Mass Effect 3.

My guess would be not explicitly stating the extra charges of needing to have gold to play multiplayer.

Unless they withraw only a version that has had a complaint.

[lawp79]

I always thought an April fools had to be over by mid day its well past that here in the uk.

ITS A BAD ENDING WHY CANT PEOPLE STILL ACCEPT THAT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE

They do. They don't accept the ending however.

[birdmojo]

Perhaps it's not about the ending at all but about such things as the promise to be able to import one's face. The game certainly failed to do that for me...

This "false advertising" crap has gone on long enough. When you're actually disrupting retailers trying to sell the game to people ... that's too damn far.

Actually, it is just far enough.  Retailers have complaint systems for a reason.

Not for this reason. Read their complaints procedure. It doesn't cover this crap.

No retailer's complaints procedure covers "not liking the ending of the movie/game/book". The very idea of it is ridiculous.

Product was discribed as being something that it was not. There I justified the complaint, and the reason that it worked.

It worked? 'Under Review' doesn't mean it worked, under review means that Amazon have temporarily stopped selling due to customer complaints whilst they investigate the issue. I guarantee you that once Amazon have reviewed it they will once again sell the game.

Or ship them back to EA. It's not like they were selling anyway.

Possibly not though.

A company as big as Amazon could use "Description does not match product" as a ingenius way to force EA to take back all copies,  open and closed,  and refund all of Amazon's money.  I doubt it will happen,  but they could do it,  and it would be a massive statement to the industry.

Just getting tired of his continous thread****ting, Raen, along with Aerius or whatever his name was. It's like cancer.
But I'll cool down.

Disagreeing in a forum for video games is "like cancer" now.

Wow.
