Boutros on 05 November 2009
| Icyedge said: Im backing Boutros on this one. This is good marketing but illegual, its false representation. "Pre-order "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" and get an Amazon exclusive treasure map. This bonus video strategy reveals the secret locations of treasures hidden within the game and can be viewed on both the PS3 and PSP systems." They could have said: "This bonus video strategy reveals the secret location of SOME of the treasures hidden or of 6 of the treasures hidden or parts of the treasures hidden" But they did not because they wanted people to assume they would get a full treasures map. This is what we call false representation: Fraudulent, negligent, or innocent misstatement, or an incomplete statement, of a material fact. Anyone in their right mind would assume they get a treasure map of all treasures, anyone saying something else is lying to himself. I agree that its not a big deal since you can find this info on internet anyway but still by principle I am as angry as Boutros. We should not tolerate that company act like that because it could become a bigger problem and you never know where it stops. Heres another example of what it could be: If on PSN you purchase something that say: this item will unlock the extra options of uncharted 2. And then this unlock only 2 of the extra option out of 50. It would be false representation even if they never say it would unlock all options. Stating things in a way that make it looks like you will receive a different things than what your getting is illegual, particularly if it was formulated that way in knowing people would assume wrong things. |
You totally get it ;)
