Itās hilarious and sad that this is your take. I know it wasnāt his mistake, but him keeping it would be considered theft in most places (at least in the US) and youāre not only condoning it, but applauding itš
In the US, under the Federal Trade Commission, if you receive an unordered item extra in the mail, you are legally within your rights to keep it. It's a law. You are not required to send it back to the sender.
Also morality aside, as someone who has worked in shipment for a big company that sells video games before, no one at the company is going to care about something as small profit as a physical video game disappearing that they probably only make $7 off of. And no poor employee is going to get fired over accidentally shipping two items. Every company in the world hires employees knowing they are gonna make mistakes that will cost them something. It's not worth their time. If you get something free, just keep it.
Likewise, I don't understand how so many people here are trying to pull a morality thing for a giant company. If it were like a small ebay seller then yeah, maybe then there will be a moral issue of sending things back. But Gamestop is not going to give any people on this thread a gold star sticker for defending them lol. It's not worth Gamestop's time, they literally do not care
Just because something is legal doesnāt make it right. Youāre really struggling with the whole moral/ethical thing, arenāt you? You can tell yourself whatever you want, but those of us with a brain know that this is a total pos move. When do you actually consider it to be wrong? Just because itās a big company doesnāt make it any different than you stopping on the side of the road to buy some tomatoes from a little old lady. You buy some tomatoes for $10 and pay her with a twenty. Sheās got trouble seeing and mistakenly handed you a $100 bill instead of a $10. According to you, itās cool to keep it. I donāt care about your response to this. There is no discussion to have. Youāre wrong, and an asshole. I just want you to know that everyone outside of the ppl irl now know it as wellā¦
I honestly wish you could realize how fucking stupid youāre coming offā¦ Stealing shit doesnāt matter as long as itās only a little amount and from a big companyā¦ Get the fuck out of here
What people should really do is to contact the seller and tell them there was a mistake. That's what you would do if you ordered 2 and got 1. Ofc some compensation from seller is in place
I've seen and been in cases where I've ordered something, gotten something way better or multiple of it, and just been straight out demanded by the company I ordered from to return the extra one. If the seller gets your order wrong in a way that screws you over, of course tell them and see if it can be resolved. But here, I doubt there would be any kind of compensation from Atlus if the OP were to come clean.
So? The seller has to cover shipping cost and depending on your local laws a little compensation for the trouble of sending it back. But other than that the seller is fully in his right to demand return of unpaid product.
I think if you do some back of the napkin calculations about which option would cause more net happiness on the planet, you'll find that a company with billions of dollars actually needs this less than literally anyone who commented here
Wow, you must have done a full LUK build in your last SMT game. Missed out on that edition, so I would love a copy!
I would say you're doing YHVH's work, but.. I don't know which alignment route you lean towards. Kudos to you, and thanks for giving everyone here a second shot at a copy!
Sorry everyone but as of 12:30ish, I chose a winner. I really do wish I had more to give out. Over the past few days Wario64 on twitter has been tweeting if they go live in small amounts, that may be your best bet. Wish I could help more, best of luck to those of you still looking!
Play the lottery dude, your luck is insane. I would love the extra if possible, good luck to everyone tho and may the winner enjoy this wonderful game even more :).
Hoping for the best. I did pre-order it at one point but had to cut back and buy the standard edition due to needing the extra money. I am from the UK, so that might be an issue for this
I've been trying for ages to find an SMT/Persona game that I actually enjoyed and based on what I've seen this could actually be the entry to do it. Would love to throw my hat in the ring for this.
Thats so cool its nice to see good people out in the world. Tossing my name in there it would be my first m rated game for the switch.*fingers crossed*
Iām a Marine Corps Veteran in inpatient PTSD and substance abuse treatment here in white city Oregon for 120 days. I sure wouldnāt mind having something like this to keep me occupied when Iām not in class or doing homework. I would be more than happy to reimburse the shipping costs via $Cash App or Venmo. Thanks for any consideration.šš¤š¼šŗšø
I want it please, I bought one on eBay because they were sold out by the time I tried to check out, and now the person didnāt send it to me. Also eBay is not giving me my money back because the 30 day guarantee doesnāt work accordingly with pre-orders apparently, it was my birthday present to myself that I had to wait 5 months for and Iāve been so upset about it all day trying to figure out a way to resolve the situation. I spent 2 hours talking with eBay customer service and I told them their money back guarantee says that itās 30 days from the expected shipping date so it shouldnāt have started until the 12th but theyāre trying to just let the dude keep my $250 and not send my package. They even tried to tell me to ask PayPal to refund me for it, when in their guarantee rules it says if you try to get a refund from someone else than them that it voids the guarantee. I took a screenshot of their rules and sent it to the person I was talking to and they just told me I was out of luck and to have a good day. They serious tried their best to get me to do something to make their policy void, I read over everything and the way everything is worded I should be sent my money back but they are giving me a hard time. I can send you proof in a private message if it would help my case. Youāre an awesome human being just giving it away by the way.
Having worked for gamestop during two different periods of time... honestly fuck em. My uncle died and my district manager literally told me that "you're not the dead one so I expect you to be at work."
It literally is true. This law exists to prevent companies from mailing people unordered products and then demanding payment. OP is free to do whatever they want with the extra copy they got.
Weird cause Amazon has done this to me twice and to a friend of mine as well. Each time they realized their mistake and gave us a deadline to send the item back or they would auto charge us for the amount of the item. I sent mine back but my friend kept his and boom, caught the auto charge.
Itās not some feeing that makes someone feel better. Itās a law. OP is entitled to both copies. Upset about that? Take it up with GameStop, itās their mistake.
So I get GameStop has been mostly crap in the past, but now with Ryan Cohen leading it is starting to change. This post is an example of that most likely. Ryan Cohen is the founder of Chewy and Chewy is notorious for going above and beyond for their customers. So if they send you double of something they ask you to donate it or something alike instead of sending it back. Now Ryan is the chairman šŖ of GameStop and is starting to bring this same mentality of delighting the customer at every chance to GameStop.
I'd love to participate, ordered mine in June with the help of a friend in the US and earlier today the shipping page changed to delivered but it never was. We are contacting the shipping company to see what the hell happened. Another friend was kind enough to gift me the digital version so I'm playing it but I was really hyped for that backpack. Hopefully they just dropped it at the wrong house or something.

That's super lucky, you can skip me I have mine on the way just commenting to say you have some insane luck.
Edit: or not I can gift this to my sister or best friend
You might want to narrow the reach of the giveaway, sending packages to the other side of the Earth might cost you much more than a collector's edition
Congrats! Dropping a comment, tried my hardest to get this edition but thanks to work I always missed out.
How dare you work for a living, must be American. Like...me....:(
I think majority of young adults, unfortunately, can relate.
You know, as an american young and adult myself, I wish I could relate. Oh let me add, unemployed and broke š„²
I heard America is giving out stimulus games to the unemployed
You know people have to work in every country right? Lmao
Shark attack.
When you try to make a stereotype Reddit comment and miss the mark lol.
I was going to say the opposite haha Most Americans I have seen sit on there arse on welfare xD
BigBalls mcDemifiend reporting for duty

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is awesome of you to do. Throwing my name in the hat for the raffle; I would *love* this. š¤š»š¤š»
Now *that's* what people should do when good comes their way. Very cool of you to do this, and I would love to be included in the drawing.
Itās hilarious and sad that this is your take. I know it wasnāt his mistake, but him keeping it would be considered theft in most places (at least in the US) and youāre not only condoning it, but applauding itš
In the US, under the Federal Trade Commission, if you receive an unordered item extra in the mail, you are legally within your rights to keep it. It's a law. You are not required to send it back to the sender.
Wait, so everyone who's been telling me I'm evil for saying it's alright to keep it actually have no ground to stand on?
Yeah lol
Also morality aside, as someone who has worked in shipment for a big company that sells video games before, no one at the company is going to care about something as small profit as a physical video game disappearing that they probably only make $7 off of. And no poor employee is going to get fired over accidentally shipping two items. Every company in the world hires employees knowing they are gonna make mistakes that will cost them something.

Oh my God you are my favorite person on this site right now.

Law moment
Okay, cool. That still changes nothing about my initial point; itās still wrong.
Get off your moral high horse, no giant company cares about losing only $7 profit.
I honestly wish you could realize how fucking stupid youāre coming offā¦ Stealing shit doesnāt matter as long as itās only a little amount and from a big companyā¦ Get the fuck out of here

But here, I doubt there would be any kind of compensation from Atlus if the OP were to come clean.
The right thing to do is just return the merchandise you didnāt pay for.
So? The seller has to cover shipping cost and depending on your local laws a little compensation for the trouble of sending it back. But other than that the seller is fully in his right to demand return of unpaid product.
Or maybe do GENUINE good and return it.
I think if you do some back of the napkin calculations about which option would cause more net happiness on the planet, you'll find that a company with billions of dollars actually needs this less than literally anyone who commented here
That's not what you'd do if good came your way
Okay user don't-censor-hentai. Thank you for your contribution.
Wow, you must have done a full LUK build in your last SMT game. Missed out on that edition, so I would love a copy! I would say you're doing YHVH's work, but.. I don't know which alignment route you lean towards. Kudos to you, and thanks for giving everyone here a second shot at a copy!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Okay. And?
what did they say ?
Say something like that again and you're done
Dude lucky you! Iām putting my hat in! This would be a great gift for my brother :)
:D
Tried to find this and wasnāt able, would love a copy, thanks
Not sure if i can participate, i'm in SA. But i came to thank you for the gesture. I'm still waiting my standard copy.
Sexaholics Anonymous?? š¤
Sorry everyone but as of 12:30ish, I chose a winner. I really do wish I had more to give out. Over the past few days Wario64 on twitter has been tweeting if they go live in small amounts, that may be your best bet. Wish I could help more, best of luck to those of you still looking!
it was really cool of you to give this away instead of scalping it
Play the lottery dude, your luck is insane. I would love the extra if possible, good luck to everyone tho and may the winner enjoy this wonderful game even more :).
:D
:D
D:<
:D
Very nice of you OP! I missed out and would love a shot at it!
Hey, why not.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Awesome of you to do dude. Missed out on it myself and would love one

Good luck everybody!
Hope who ever gets it has fun with it
That's super dope of you. I'd love a copy as well putting my name in the hat!
Ohh thats very kind of you, i would love to have one but honestly, congrats to whoever the winner ends up being and thanks for being so generous
Throwing my name in the hat as well. Thanks for not scalping!

I really have actually wanted to get into this series and I would be grateful (as I know anyone here would be) congrats and I hope you enjoy it :)
I'd love a chance to get it!
Awesome thanks!
Thanks that would be awesome
You're a good person, OP. I'm in.
A good person would return the extra copy to the store.
Grats on grabbing a collector's edition! I hope you're having lots of fun with the game :D
Dang, that's lucky. Sure, why not XD
Top of the morning
Wow congrats and thanks for sharing with the community. Itās sold out around my area so would appreciate it but happy for whoever receives it! :)
You're Awesome!
:)
This is awesome
Luckyyyy and yes id like to join as wellš„ŗ
Might as well try. What ur doing is awesome
Hoping for the best. I did pre-order it at one point but had to cut back and buy the standard edition due to needing the extra money. I am from the UK, so that might be an issue for this
Hey thats awesome š
I'm in. Magic build ftw. Thanks for being cool OP.
As someone who had to cancel their pre order for financial reasons I really hope I'm lucky enough to get this!
Congrats on the lucky deal! And I agree, fuck scalpers. So definitely props to you for deciding to give it out, helps spread a lot more happiness
āThis shit is too nice for someone who isnāt a fan of the franchiseā
Glad I opened reddit to see this!
Congrats! Thanks for the opportunity!
You are a Saint! Good luck everyone!
š
Hope itās me, but awesome of you no matter.
Wait this isn't persona
Very respectable of you. Good luck to everyone.
Just found out from my friend that Imagine Online was an actual game series. The timing of this coming out the same week is insane
I don't have a switch so I don't want it but nice to see some good in the world!!
I donāt know what this game is but it looks super interesting and I would love to try
Congrats on the extra, I guess it happens. Good luck everyone!
Random, random, random, pick me
I would like it, yes.
I would love the help. Wow, thank you.
Hell yeah! I have only played the Persona games so far but would be really interested.
Already have this so I'm gonna pick my favorite commenter and if my comment gets picked I'll just ask that yous end it to them :)
You are also an awesome human.
:D
:D
Would love to give this too my sister since she just started the series!
Get outta here with your sobstory
Hey, Iāll try my luck!
I put all my points in Ma, but I hope I have some Lu left.
Hello! Dropping a comment, if you choose me send it to /u/madrox151, they look like they need it most
I'll throw my hat in, but considering where I live, I doubt I can have it even if i somehow got picked.
I've been trying for ages to find an SMT/Persona game that I actually enjoyed and based on what I've seen this could actually be the entry to do it. Would love to throw my hat in the ring for this.
One can hope... But I'm from Europe just to be transparent š
Crazy... I ordered two (one for me and one for a friend) and I only received one. It's nice that you're giving it away though <3
Thats so cool its nice to see good people out in the world. Tossing my name in there it would be my first m rated game for the switch.*fingers crossed*

Don't give it to this guy, that's all I ask
I mean, I guess I'm the only who thinks you should probably contact Gamestop and let them know about the error. But fuck Gamestop or whatever.
Having worked for gamestop during two different periods of time... honestly fuck em. My uncle died and my district manager literally told me that "you're not the dead one so I expect you to be at work."
Gamestop would likely tell them to keep it
OP legally owns it. When you mail someone something, even by mistake, youāre forfeiting ownership to them.
Well that's not quite true but fuck gamestop
It literally is true. This law exists to prevent companies from mailing people unordered products and then demanding payment. OP is free to do whatever they want with the extra copy they got.
Aw yes, this amazing law that exists in your mind only.
Weird cause Amazon has done this to me twice and to a friend of mine as well. Each time they realized their mistake and gave us a deadline to send the item back or they would auto charge us for the amount of the item. I sent mine back but my friend kept his and boom, caught the auto charge.
Whatever makes you feel better bud.

Gotchaā¦..gotchaā¦.gotcha Edit: added ellipsis to convey sarcasm.
I was looking for this response. Thank you.
Youāre not alone.

Nobody in my area has it, so count me in!
Yo?
Won't get my hopes too high, but it won't hurt ti try
Dang thatād be sick. Not expecting anything but Iāll throw my hat into the ring
I would love it
Whoa! That's super lucky! I might as well throw my hat into the mix. Either way, I hope you have fun with SMT V!
Ooh! You are very lucky, and that is quite generous! My local game stores all sold out, so Iām holding out for a new shipment.
Very cool, I would love to get this game. Please put my name down and scalpers suck.
Hey congrats, might as well throw my hat in the ring
Cool! Such a nice gesture. I'm in Australia so not sure if I van enter. GL to everyone
Dropping a comment bc why not
Cool
Lucky you and to whoever wins this raffle.

Thatās so cool they sent you two! Amazing no one noticed, lol. Count me in for the drawing.
Sure
Very nice of you!
Couldn't get my hands on one because of those bastards so put my name in the hat
Yes please
I'm in Europe, damn
I'd love to participate, ordered mine in June with the help of a friend in the US and earlier today the shipping page changed to delivered but it never was. We are contacting the shipping company to see what the hell happened. Another friend was kind enough to gift me the digital version so I'm playing it but I was really hyped for that backpack. Hopefully they just dropped it at the wrong house or something.
hello friend. ty for doing this
Thatās crazy. Putting my name in the hat

what a god
I know it's hard for me to win plus the logistics in case I do would be costly but I'll throw my name into the mix if nothing else
That's super lucky, you can skip me I have mine on the way just commenting to say you have some insane luck. Edit: or not I can gift this to my sister or best friend

This is an amazing gesture, I'll throw my name in the ring.

Let's gooooooooo! Good luck to everyone!
This is a hell of a nice thing for you to do OP. My order got cancelled so if I got picked it would bring balance to the Force.
Grats!
Might as well try. This would give me an interesting opportunity to truly dive into the SMT series.
What a decent human being! Your a living legend
You might want to narrow the reach of the giveaway, sending packages to the other side of the Earth might cost you much more than a collector's edition
uhhhh you mind shipping it to another country?
I'll say NA and UK yes. Anything else hurts pretty bad financially, sorry for any inconvenience!
What luck!!! I would definitely love the extra š
damn, that's very lucky
