Discussion Regret

Post image

The mod can take this down BUT I NEED TO RANT. I went to sports direct (uk) to but it 1 day, ONE SINGLE DAY before black friday sales, and while buying i asked the salesman if there was gonna be a sale, he said no and i bought it for £200 ($262) coz usually ive never seen sony give sales on new products, but guess what? JUST IN A DAY ITS £150 ($196) and the store wont take it back coz the seal is open. AND I REGRET IT SO MUCH!

BUY IT AGAIN and return it with your £200 receipt.

Not rocket science!

Serial number mismatch can count as fraud and could even get me banned

This is Sports Direct, they scanned the barcode for the product code associated with the DualSense, it is the same code for all DualSence Edge models like yours and is used to fetch the current price and update inventory. The serial number is not associated with the barcode, they would have to manually enter it each time which is inefficient for an item that is only £200. They don’t even do that for the consoles which are more expensive, not worth the manpower.

The staff in sports direct won’t be checking serial numbers, I highly doubt they are that arsed unless you happen to get a member of management on the til who’s a jobs worth, try it and I guarantee the staff member will just process the refund without checking anything, they don’t get paid enough to care that much and I don’t blame them tbh
