VIDEO GAME CENTRAL...they are a proven scam. Don't buy sticks or ANYTHING from them!

Wow, you’re f’ing kidding me. How much was it?

5%, so about 10-12 bucks if I remember correctly.

Alright, so I just canceled the order, but I wasn’t informed of any re-stocking fee…? Will I see a surprise charge from VGC down the road? Lol… :rolleyes:

Well, when I canceled mine it took about about seven e-mails before they actually did it. On the seventh reply from them I got a kind of “Oh by the way we charge a 5% restocking fee, so we canceled and refunded the balance.”

So, if they’ve told you it’s done without tacking the fee on, you’re probably in the clear. Though I’d cross check the amount you receive back from them just to be sure.

Not only does VGC not have dignity…

They are Gutter Trash

Holy shit you’re not kidding, the guy is a bona fide Jersey Guido!

Mr Mojo - You are Dead Wrong as if I had not seen this thread I would have had no idea what was going on because these knob jockeys never sent me ANY EMAIL / ADVICE AT ALL about what was going on… I was only told my order would definately ship on release date.

To this day vgc have still not replied or given me any explanation. So thanks heaps Benjiedude for opening up this topic and exposing this Turd of a business.

On a happier note :wgrin: I finally got through via phone after a disconnect and long wait on hold. The result is I got my money refunded back to Paypal, no fee, and I didn’t hang up until the buggers had actually put the money back and gave me a Transaction ID.

Never again, VGC, Never AGAIN !!! :annoy:

Ahh yes, thanks for the heads up.

Just want to clear things up. I spoke with Dave from Video Game Central and there seems to be some miscommunication going around. I’m sure once VGC gets their shipments in (not sure when that is sorry), they’ll be able to satisfy those who have preordered.

Cheers.

Everyone is getting impatient because of the SF4 launch, no one can blame them. The least we can do is be patient and not insult individuals/companies as it won’t do us anyone any good in the long run.

This company doesn’t deserve political correction Mark. Sorry but they had their chance to make good and they’ve done nothing but lie. I’m sure after seeing your post earlier that they called you or PM’d you direct to beg you to fix this mess or ask you why you confirmed they weren’t guaranteed any shipment. Either way though they’re a bad company and I ask you Mark, would you buy from VGC? LOL, be honest now.

Well I’ll just let my pre-order with them sit for now. But once the Capcom store or someone else starts taking pre-orders if I haven’t gotten it or any word that its shipping from them I’ll just order someone where else and cancel. I’ve got more cheese then a mouse so I’m not in any hurry to cancel.

Well, somebody has to try it and see. After all MarkMan is saying “I’m** sure** once VGC gets their shipments in (not sure when that is sorry), they’ll be able to satisfy those who have preordered.”. All 900 preorders right Mark? LMAO, notice that after his call with Dave at VGC (whomever the hell that is…) he doesn’t say “I know they will”. A lot of political BS going on behind the scenes and I’m sure they called up Mark after his post confirming they didn’t get any stock from Madcatz and were fuming because their lie bubble had been burst.

Whoa! Wait a second. Mark, just when I was starting to really get to like you…you went and took down your post? Now why would you do that? Did the big men over at VGC talk to the big guys over at MadCatz and give you a slap on the wrist? C’mon man. Regretting what was said is like taking the puppy back to the store cuz it pissed all over the floor. You’re better than that man!

Obviously VGC took too many preorders, without having the distributor to back it up. VGC should do the right thing, and just refund all the pre-orders they took and give out a 10% coupon for everyones trouble.

Greed takes over some people.

Wow. You’re awesome! Who the fuck are you? I don’t care…post more shit like that.

Edit: I searched on the FAQ and it appears as if you’re a big dog on here Wizard. For good reason too since you summed up what should be the result of this thread. Much respect for your opinion.

/facepalm

He would be one of the admins of the site.

Caught it before you did. Take facepalm back. Thanks.

I dunno about sooner (damn database error and busy server), but at least you caught yourself.

I ordered mine a few days before the cut off date of the emails they sent and I haven’t heard anything about my stick through emails that it was shipped.

I’m going to assume I’m one of those people that got screwed over.

VGC definately going to get bad rep because of this. They should really consider offering something in return for their mistake.

holy, if you didn’t get a shipment e-mail, you won’t be getting your stick until they get some. I called once, was able to cancel my order and was refunded the money within a few days, no restocking fee. I’m just waiting until everyone restocks.
