First of all ya big sook, Bethesda never stole your money. You soley chose to rent the game out of your own free will, they never told you to purchase it - You are the consumer who felt the urge to pay a measly $10 (Lol what a rip-job) at a video store to try it out. There is nothing wrong with doing so, but just keep in mind that the game company is not responsible for your spending. Perhaps before jumping into the frenzied first month of the games release, you should have held off temptation until after the first month, and/or read reviews or other media information (or seeked out this forum) about it's bugs. Do that next time.
Game companies are given deadlines to put out games. Sometimes, and more than likely a lot of the time, if the game is big, there will always be bugs. It happens. Would you volunteer to test bugs for them if you had the chance? If you say or think ''No I wouldn't'', then stop complaining altogether.
I have a feeling the employee at Blockbuster chuckled after you left, and said "He has no idea what ''defective'' obviously means, to have said this is defective if it actually runs on his Xbox. [censored]".
I bought a Xbox 360 so I wouldnt have to worry if the game I buy will work with the system. I buy oneline service knowing the Xbox Live service works.
I buy 360 games for my Xbox with expectation they will function. I dont expect perfection for the games. Buy or rent the money payed is done so in good faith the product will work as designed. The resoan to pump several million dollers in world wide advertisemants is to get people to go out and BUY the games
A company produces to recoup the sizable investment in product development NOT wait MONTHS for reviews. Stores place large amounts in stocking the games to sell in release.
Althou this game may in fact put a large halt on first day sales. As Call of Duty Blackops is sitting overstocked on store shelves because people now wait to see if it will function. The EYE ROLL at my question "does it work" wasnt the first for the game store I use to buy games. In fact it was so often asked he put up a sign BLACKOPS WORKS PERFECTLY. It does work and sales should pick up for the game.
Fallout New Vegas in fact has MALFUNCTIONED. Frozen Xboxes, lost saves, unable to trade, unable to go to certian parts of the game. The list of problems is impossible to keep up with. I am not sure WHERE you learned what defective is but get your time and money back. The product is DEFECTIVE. One doller 10 dollers or 60 dollers the money payed was done so for a working product not a bug filled glitch that is impossible to play.
I dont purchace games at full price to be a beta tester, UNLESS REQUESTED TO DO SO by the company in expectation that it will be for both our benafit. YES a dirty capitalist here. My list of problems would be complete to that company to improve the preformance of the game not to a message board.
