After much hand wringing, over earlier pre Newvemberlutions about my Fallout kood-aid addiction, today I returned my unopened FAILOUT: NEW LOST WAGES Collectors Edition to Best Buy for a full $91.99 refund.
It was hard to leave it unopened... but it was for my own good. I expected this to work, and be a great game, and it may eventually be playable, but I wasn't willing to trust them again. The new game update on Bethesda's forums says "we’ll have something available in the coming weeks. When we have more details, we’ll let you know."
Reads, thanks for the money suckers. I'm not that trusting anymore.
Fuck you Bethesda and your lack of respect for your customers.

top 3 bethesda fallout grifts of all time
So Fallout: New Vegas aka Failout: New Lost Wages arrived yesterday. I didn't open it. And I probably won't. Sadly it's probably just going to be returned to BestBuy for a full refund. I can't believe I fell for it. Bethesda has got to be one of the worst game companies ever. Customer disdain from these fuckers is almost unfathomable. Most gamers are hoping for a patch, because that'll hopefully allow them to play.
It shouldn't be that way. Someone posted this morning about pre-ordering the patch. :rofl:.
Days since Failout: New Lost Wages release: 8
Days until Failout: New Lost Wages patched: :evenmorecricketsounds:
*NEW*
Days until Failout: New Lost Wages returned: 13
TOP 3 BETATHESDA FALLOUT GRIFTS
3. FailOut 3: GOTY (Grift Of The Year) for Playstation 3
2. FailOut: New Lost Wages (choice of platforms (XBox, PS3 or PC) pick you poison
and the #1 BETATHESDA FALLOUT GRIFT OF ALL TIME
1. the NEXT ONE.
Do not give these fuckers any more money EVER!

bestbuy.ca sucks and Failout: New Lost Wages
Pre-ordering from BestBuy.ca SUCKS. I'm not going to back away from that statement. Because it's the truth.
Although this morning there were 3 emails from them, apparently the night shift in customer service has a better grasp of how things work in BB's fucked up supply chain. And today there is an In Stock symbol in the cart with my Fallout: New Vegas Collectors Edition. One of which, should be mine. It doesn't change the fact that my order has still not been processed and after that it will still be another 5 days to actually receive the game. Maybe.
But should it ever arrive.... it will remain unopened... so I can return it for a full refund.
In typical Bethesda fashion, the Fallout: New Vegas Hardware and Software Issues forum has been created and the all telling stickie at the top almost doesn't need to be read. But just for shits and giggles... here it is
WOW, well that's a relief.
I would like to point out at this time that the GOTY version for Fallout 3 was NEVER fully fixed or patched. Despite a Bethesda moderator stickie stating
The crashes, bugs and freezing patches were never fully released for the GOTY edition. Horrible stories then and now.
But it's so funny to go back and re-read the Gamespot.com previews of the Failout: New Lost Wages from 'hands on testers', who tester it twice. Now a short 5 weeks later Gamespot.com has posted this video review and think the game is almost unplayable.
So where was this little snippet of honesty... pre-release date. By not reporting issues within the game they are in fact endorsing it. But the gaming industry is such an incestuous thing. Shhhhhhhhh, we're still waiting for our cheque from BetaThesda to clear.
A sad thank you to all the BETA TESTERS across all three platforms, that PAID $60 -$90 dollars for the honour of attempting to play Failout: New Lost Wages on release day. Note to self: check worstbuy.ca return policy.

Some quotes:
"Absolutely swarming with disastrous bugs"
"Not to mention frequent crashes on both consoles and corrupted game saves, which might cause you to lose progress."
" These are but a small number of the major bugs we encountered. Fallout: New Vegas is a technical mess."
