When I went to pick up my wii on launch day they said the free game wasnt in stock and id get a call about it...

I called them today to ask them about the game and they said i could come get monster truck now, or wait to see if GT pro comes in. Thing is, they dont know when GT pro will come back in stock... if ever. I heard monster truck is crap and I am really looking for a new game cos im kinda getting sick of wii sports/play and zelda...

I could take monster truck and trade it at EB to get something else, but what else is recommended? are there any new games in the next few weeks?

help much appreciated.

My myer even doesn't allow me to get a different free game, i have to wait until GT pro comes in, which they unable to give me approximate time. and even worse, she even did not say sorry at all. she talked without looking at my face. pissed me off... but once i started to play i forgot about that... just enjoy what you have now

The Myer i went to had a list from Nintendo showing when all the games would come in along with their apology letter. I asked the guy and he said they'd all be in by the 14th.

I work at Myer ( not in electrical ) but at myer none the less. I spoke to the manager in our electrical department. There were some 40 ( I think, or was it 14 ? ) odd stores that did not get the myer one free game ( GT ) at launch . Couriers were late or something. Our store got another stock dropoff yesterday ( mainly accessories ), but there were a few copies of GT. My suggestion would be to give your myer a call, remind them that you're still waiting for the game. Then, just play the waiting game!

And yeah, as if be sick of zelda!

I'm pissed off that they won't give me another game. The deal did say that we pick up the free game on launch day... and launch day has passed and still no GT Pro. I really hoped I could swap GT Fail for Red Steel. :c

the most annoying thing is, i didnt get a call from them and when i called them today they said they sold out... so they must have got some in and not tell me.

I thought the deal said "free game with pre-order", not "free game at launch day".
You will still get your free game. Yes it's annoying not to have it when you pick them up but to expect them to replace it with a totally different game is expecting too much. Although a very nice idea that we would all prefer.

The same thing happened to me when i went to pick up my Wii. they offered me red steel, monster truck, or call of duty 3 instead. I went for Call of Duty 3, which is probably a better game than GT Pro.

yes yes me too i but i went in yesterday and got monter truck, and yer it sux, but it was free so stop complaining, anyway since heaps of people traded it in on 1st day eb then started to lower there trade in value (even if its still in the pack and not opened) i think people are getting $30 or less now so its not worth it ...
