Oh come on, you're just annoyed that I'm right, and have no leg to stand on, so all you can do is make it sound like it's just some little technicality that makes me right... which isn't true...
I am. Unquestionably. You can't deny it. All you can do is say "well who cares for ME it was free", which is pretty much true -- for you it was as good as free. But it's just absurd to see you try to deny that for most people, it was far from being as "free" as it was for you. Just absurd.
Okay... I want the game. If it's free it means I can go to the store and get it for $0, with no gimmicks or anything. That would be free. Like those free demo CD's you see in stores sometimes.
This requires buying not just two games, but two games from a VERY short list! It is just totally insane to call something that requires buying two games "free"! Especially when the list of approved games is so short...
How about we come to a compromise here? OB1 and I will agree that we don't care what anyone thinks about the disc and ABF will agree that the disc is free. See, was that so hard?
If you didn't want it and didn't know about it until you bought the two games (I assume you got them at the same time since the first one would mention the offer), then it's an unwanted prize thing... like those stupid hats you win in soda contests. I think I've "won" hats twice but never bothered to send in for them... not worth a stamp... :D

My point is that your only argument is that if you knew about the deal, it's not free. That's retarded and you know it.

No, no... it's of course still not free if you knew about it, that doesn't factually change anything. It just changes your perception. You knew about it and were going to get those games anyway (much more important fact) so for you it didn't cose you any extra money. It wasn't free, because you had to buy two games to get it, but it didn't cost you anything extra... but for some people, it well may cost extra... what if they were going to get two other games, that together cost less? Then they hear about this and buy these two. Not only was their choice greatly restricted (you have completely ignored this major arguement of mine! Restriction of choice IS restriction of freedom and thus removal of it being free!), but the guy spent more! Or even if they didn't spend more, those two facts are more than enough...
Quote:Because you've just bought something you dont' want/need. That's a waste of money where I come from, buddy.
Um, I most certainly did want Mario Kart and Mario & Luigi.

This is incredibly stupid. Okay, so you believe that nothing in the world is free. That's great.
Quote:Um, I most certainly did want Mario Kart and Mario & Luigi.
Uhh... you said
Quote: What if a)I didn't really want the disc and b) I didn't know about it until after I bought the two games?? EH??!!
If you didn't want it, you wouldn't have bought it...
And if you just happened to buy those two games and didn't want the bonus disk but got it anyway because it now cost you nothing, fine, think of it as a bonus... but it's not free, since you bought something to get it!

That fact has very little to do with this arguement.
Quote:Um, I most certainly did want Mario Kart and Mario & Luigi.
...and who the hell said anything about those two games? Stay on topic fool.
Anyways, I talking about whatever 'freebies' came with those two games. And I use 'freebies' in quotation marks because seeing as how you payed money for the games, you also payed for anything extra besides the games. Had you not payed cash for the games, you would not have gotten anything else.

You just said that I wasted money on the two games that I bought. Make some sense, fool!

Brian, you are a true nerd. That's all I have to say about this retarded "debate".

OB1, you can belittle this fact as much as you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it is true, not trivial, and you don't have a decent arguement against it!
Any other sane human being would admit that they are wrong, but you... you find that a physically impossible thing to do so instead you act like I'm stupid. All it does for me is make you look dumb.
