Anyway… New copy in hand, let’s try this again
Complained more and the super-pragmatic dude from the games department came over, asked what the problem was and just switched it.
Copy of Reach had a disc error, returned to to Toys R Us who refused to exchange it because it was open. “You should have bought protection”
Oh dear. New copy of Reach doesn’t work either. “Failed to load content.” Refuses to install too. Time to call customer service I guess
Escalated up the chain. “You didn’t pay $60 sir, we gave you a $20 gift card as part of our promo.” So I’m out $40 instead, thanks
Switched out 360 for another unit, which appears to work. Getting back into campaign just as Mrs D & kids txt me to say they’re nearly home
