Trust me, I was at it a good hour or 2 of re seating it. After retinking though, even if I did get it to work with my prebuilt, I don't think I would keep using it because the airflow is bad for my case and gets dusty. I don't want to risk the wearing down or getting dust in the GPU fans after I get the rest of the parts which I will have to get eventually, seeing as how I'm studying 3d modelling and animation.

Hmm, well I would test the card with another system if possible before the warranty goes. It could be DOA.


I probably will this weekend, my friend come back home from the Army and want me to help build his system. If that is the case, I hope I don't get screwed with the RMA cause I've heard mixed opinions on XFX.

I think there are mixed reviews on most of the gpu resellers. If you need a second opinion at any point, I can give it a shot.

Every crappy game that has ever existed for Xbox is what I regret buying.

Examples:
Duke Nukem Forever
Sonic the Hedgehog
Transformers: The Game
Brink
Superman Returns
Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis (Soooooooooooo bad, worse than eating nails)
Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
Rogue Warrior
Self-Defense Training Camp (Worst kinect game ever)
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor (Probably worst in history)

Probably a lot.

The only real gripe I have is that so many developers now make the single players campaigns ridiculously short. Its not even funny paying 40-50 pounds for something you can casually finish or almost finish in about half a day.

And that's what you get for supporting a baka such as Gabe Newell in not allowing people to refund.

Either you buy on Steam knowing full well you're either going to regret it or not to regret it, or don't do anything at all (what I learn from Binding of Isaac). Just don't bash EA afterwards cause its got refunds and a stable client!

Other purchases I regret though... umm... nope. Why do you regret these Steam purchases? Because you can't refund them, but at the same time, unable to blame the person with the least IQ in the world (the ultimate baka Gabe Newell) for not allowing you to refund. Logic.

Music purchases could work perhaps? I did buy a song off Amazon and... umm...

Why should Steam have a refund option? I have no idea how it works with EA, but in my head it sounds like a way to play unlimited games for free, even if just for a little while. Also Steam has loads of sales all the time. I'm not sure if it's a huge loss if you happen to buy a really really cheap game you don't really like that much.

I regret buying some champions and skins in League of Legends. Also Pokémon White was full of trash, wouldn't have bought it if I knew BW2 was that much better. XY wasn't worth of the full price either. Conclusion, no more Pokémon purchases. D:

Yeah, because in order to play these unlimited games for free, you need a set price just to go free for an unlimited period of time. That's why refund rules are there in the first place on nearly everything you refund, so you don't come back to the mobile shop and refund your Samsung for an iPhone, then your iPhone for an HTC, then your HTC for a Sony at will.

Here's EA's refund policy on Origin:
You may return EA full game digital downloads (PC/Mac) purchased on Origin for a full refund within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from your date of purchase or within seven days from the game's release date if you pre-ordered, whichever comes first. This is in addition to your standard return or refund rights.

Here's how:

Visit your Order History and select the "Request a Refund" link next to any eligible product.
Complete and submit the Refund Request Form.
You'll get a response within 48 hours and your refund within 10 days if you meet the refund criteria.
DLC and non-EA games purchased on Origin are excluded from the Great Game Guarantee. So, this is a guarantee for full game (a.k.a. "base game") digital downloads published by EA for now, including full games on pre-order and most full games on promotional discount.

In a nut-shell, to refund a game (but not DLC and non-EA games), you can refund it if
A) 7 days hadn't passed after the initial purchase/release date
B) 24 hours after launching the game

The response will be there in around 48 hours and the refund in 10 days.


I think the refund period of 10 days is quite an intelligent part on EA's side of things, because even if you do attempt to refund and then buy, you're going to have to wait at least 10 days between each attempt of that.

But then, people are regretting most of their sale purchases, so saying that Steam has sales which makes the losses much less won't deter from the fact that people regret their purchases. Is this why Baka Newell's strategy works?!

Thanks, now it sounds a bit more reasonable! I was worried if there were no limitations at all, but the "10 days between attempts"-strategy seems logical. For example in League of Legends you're allowed to refund your in-game purchases up to three times, and that kind of limitations make people think beforehand if they really need to buy the thing x.

Also I didn't imply that it's completely okay if you don't pay much for a bad game but do pay something. It's just a fact that it feels much better if you happen to lose a couple of euros over a not-so-good game than if you pay the full price. It makes gamers feel better and it gives Valve profit - so I guess that's an ingenious strategy. :D

These days it's just assumed that people watch trailers and read reviews before buying a game. You can't give back intact furniture you suddenly don't like just like that, so I don't see a problem with not getting back all of your money if there are no problems within the game itself.

tl;dr don't buy expensive games if you're not sure if you don't like it. If it's cheap and you weren't sure, think positively: at least you didn't lose as much as you could've lost.

I'd regret BF4 like others but I only bought non premium on sale for $25 because of all the rumors and how BF3 was.. I had to make sure I didn't get ripped off. Seriously? $50 for the game and another $60 for premium? $110 + tax? Wow. Some maps that I already paid for on BF3 are just re-released and I have to pay for it again to play them? FK that. Last EA game I'm buying.

I think I might of regret buying UT3 years back because I barely played it and just went back to 2004.

I seriously regret purchasing Hyperdimension Neptunia Limited Edition.

I was SOOOOOO sure I'd like this game I bough the copy that came with a freakin' huge artbook, making the thing not fit on my shelf unless I put it sideways. The game is so monotonous and boring, but I fooled myself into playing it because I spent money on the damn thing.

Also, Final Fantasy Tactics, because it's the slowest moving game I've ever played.

Well, I guess Origin's system is much fairer than LoL's IAP refund system; they never said you have up to three refunds and you have to think carefully.

Also I didn't imply that it's completely okay if you don't pay much for a bad game but do pay something. It's just a fact that it feels much better if you happen to lose a couple of euros over a not-so-good game than if you pay the full price. It makes gamers feel better and it gives Valve profit - so I guess that's an ingenious strategy. :D

Yeah, you're right about that, but think when people buy hoards of bundles with these couple of euros. Let's say instead of buying a game for 60$, you bought a hundred cheap games with 60$ off an indie bundle but you don't play them and regret their purchases. There's no way to get all these things refunded, especially the ones you don't like. Had there been a refund system, I would've sent away my Binding of Isaac copy just as I knew its terrible, but sadly I'm stuck with it.

These days it's just assumed that people watch trailers and read reviews before buying a game. You can't give back intact furniture you suddenly don't like just like that, so I don't see a problem with not getting back all of your money if there are no problems within the game itself.

But a game isn't furniture. What you see is what you get in the case of furniture. In the case of gaming however, you need to have sharp eyes and a level of expectations in order to reach the level of "what you see is what you get". You have to make sure a game isn't that badly buggy for the person, would run on the computer, would have elements that are lovely, etc. Sure a review might help, but try reading a review for an FPS game like the many hundred other ones you've played and figure out whether you want that FPS or not.

Steam only refunds pre-orders at the moment, and maybe that confirms the theory, Baka Newell wants you to pay a lot for the bundles, have your money, and get away with it unscratched because hey, he's Gabe Newell.

So many salty emo tears shed over Steam. OP bought on console so why you decided to derail this thread is beyond me, also, welcome to the digital model. You don't purchase a copy of the game you purchase a license. It is non refundable so you had better think about it before you steal your mommies credit card again. Faulty products, falsely advertised games and pre-orders are refunded on request. Without this model Steam would not be able to give the huge discounts that it does across the board and at the end of the day it is not the only platform on PC to get games from so suck it up man.
