Loyalty Discount: HALF OFF all new teams this week

[JimKomurek]

[quote:6395ca405a="1crazycanuk"]Up here in Canada we believe it's disrespectful to call someone "hockey puck". :wink: We also have a thing called humour too, and in Canada we have this concept of spelling it "humour".

I may have caught the humour if I had read that you mentioned "chump change" in the earlier post. See, I was addressing what you said in one post. I didn't bother to read who wrote the post above the one I was actually addressing. Forgive me for focusing on the post that I was addressing. :(

I love playing this game too. And I don't know what you mean about the Prime Minister :?: :?[/quote:6395ca405a]

Fair enough.

While ripping Canada apart I thought it would be fair to imply the Americans know nothing about Canada. (regarding the prime minster remark) But the good news 22% of Americans can name all 5 members of the Bart Simpson family cartoon, while only 1 in 1000 Americans can name the first 5 ammendments:

So I am very proud of our excellent intellect. And also proud that we choose to spell humor, humor (not humour), ass, ass (not arse) and about, about (not a-boot).

I will see you in the ball field, play ball !!!! And go Expos !!....whoops.

Turd Ferguson :!:

That's fine. I don't know why you found it necessary to bash Canadians but oh well. You can spell words the way you want and so will we. Just...please explain to me why people think we say aboot? I say "about" not "a boot". :?

You know, I got to get a little something off my chest that's been gnawing at me. I was quiet during the whole recent fiasco, was even on TSN side. I understand things happen, and heck this is only Strat, there's many other things going on in real life that's far more important.

But, for gosh sakes, don't insult my intelligence by offering a "Loyalty Discount". I've been around here since the beginning, TSN has always offered some kind of discount in the weeks preceding a new launch (200x).

So no problem, if you want to offer a discount on a product NOT selling at the moment, and not offer it on a product that will sell (2006), fine - tell us straight-up.

But all this crap about you're doing this "for us", that this is what we're doing to make it up to our most "loyal customers", that's completely BS.

You're doing it because little revenues are coming in while everyone is waiting for the '06 cards to come out.

One year ago I vowed to play far less games this past year than previously, and I did. How much do I play/spend this year? I'm not sure, but I got a feeling it's not gonna be much.

OK, back to my coffee, I feel better.

Well said Jeep.

"But, for gosh sakes, don't insult my intelligence by offering a "Loyalty Discount". I've been around here since the beginning, TSN has always offered some kind of discount in the weeks preceding a new launch (200x)."

Guess I'm not intelligent because I didn't know this. I only joined last August. :(

[Jeepdriver]

Crazy, obviously you or anyone else who hasn't been around for more than a year wouldn't know about the discounts (TSN gives) a week or so before the new cards come out. They do this every year,,that's why I don't buy the rhetoric. :)

Jeep I'm with you, I went from 35 02, to 32 03, to only 25 05, But I already know I can only get 1 5 pack till about Aug/Sept, which probably means only 10 games max for me this year in 06.

[b:267c9ce656]Bernie[/b:267c9ce656], you know I've sent you a PM explaining my situation and view, apparently, since you don't repsond, you can repsond to my bank about the chargebacks.

[visick]

A response by SOMEBODY would be nice huh?

[1crazycanuk]

Well that's pretty sad if they give discounts a week before the new game anyways. :(

this 'loyalty discount' doesnt smell right- literally a week or so before 2006 comes out. Those that dont play ATG arent helped by offering discounts on a product most of us arent or wont be using once 2006 comes out. It would be more of a real gesture to at least discount 1 2006 team for each person who had active 2005 teams rather than allow us to 'save money' on teams we wouldnt be buying now. I'll keep on playing strat- cuz I love it- but right now I dont have 'warm and fuzzies' about what has been offered.
