So ****ed!

I got the collector's edition for Fable III. I got the playing cards but there was a little rip, like when you tear the tape off of something at the side and THERE WAS NO COIN. I know it's kind of insignificant but DAMN, that's a bunch of crap!

Ask for a refund.

Ask for a refund.

About the best suggestion possible, albeit most likely useless as well :/

First step is indeed voicing the problem, because we all know it's highly possible for mass shipments to be missing items. Best to catch it as early as possible if that's the case.

Though as far as refunds are concerned, unless it's a common and proven issue, you're much less likely to get reimbursed.

Some guy on the Lionhead forums had the same thing and is speaking to a lionhead DEV member, i suggest asking him.

I want to, but at the same time, it's so insignificant I don't want to return just for THAT. Because I have to return it unopened and I've already opened the game! Well, I'll explain that, but we'll see. I'm still going to play it, I deserve at least that for my dissatisfaction.

Its something that you paid for and for it not to be in the product they should refund/replace it. Would you be OK if it came without the game? Its just the same.

returning it un-opened is stupid, how are you supposed to know if you CE is missing anything, it would be like buying a $2000 rifle and missing the trigger group and barrel (some of the most expensive parts of a gun) and not be able to get it reissued. you should be able to return it, i recommend talking to the retailer's manager where you got the game from, i had to do this when i bought Powerstone for the dreamcast and the disk was found loose and all scratched up when i opened it, the manager apologized and gave me a brand new copy. it would be poor customer service not to refund or give you another copy.

technically he paid for everything in the CE, they should be able to give him another copy or a raincheck on the next shipment if they don't have extra copies on hand (which would really suck.)

You got what appears to be a pre-owned copy with content you paid for missing...Your more than entitled to a replacement or refund.

 

[Michael555]

I got my game from amazon.com :/

So it would take DAYS, and I've waited two years for the game.

 

[Dark Prophit]

damn that sux, but if you want what you paid for, you will wait, you can always rent or buy another copy then return it.

 

[Michael555]

Well I have a MONTH to file a claim...and I did already open the game before I discovered the coin was gone....:devil:

i would have done the same

 

[Michael555]

Would it be really evil to just play the whole game and then ask for the exchange? I've waited two years and had this game pre-ordered a month before it ever came out. I'm not going to use the DLC codes, I'm just going to play it. It was already opened before I discovered the lack of the coin, so what the hell, might as well play it.

Plus I have a month before the time expires for a refund.

 

[sirsimon]

how many of you have experienced this problem?

I preordered it, and its on its way, for fridays release.
I hope this wont happen to me.

 

[Michael555]

At least two of us have!

 

[sirsimon]

shocking, but that's two out of several hundred american fans on this site.

What are the chances eh?

 

[Michael555]

Yeah, true. We'll see though. It's quite irritating. If I would've thought this would've happened, I probably would've thought twice about buying the collector's edition.

 

[sirsimon]

I understand your anger, I would be too, but you have the game and the cards, thats what counts

 

[Michael555]

OMG YOU GUYS! IT HAD FALLEN OUT DURING SHIPPING. I saw that guy updated his post who was posting on Lionhead about his missing coin and said it was behind the compartment. That was my issue! But when I SHOOK the box/book it was in, it didn't make a sound! No rattle. NOTHING. So I got my coin, now I feel incredibly stupid.
