Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[wakka]

The fact that YesAsia still haven't shipped my copies of Wipeout 2048 and now I have to wait till Monday apparently ?_?

First world problems

The fact that gamers will turn EVERYTHING a developer or publisher says into a promise. To gamers, developers never say might, or maybe, or we'll try. It's always "YOU PROMISED!"

Gaaaaah, just got a customs invoice for my NTSC-J 360 from FedEx. Honestly don't know why the government thinks I should be paying tax on goods that weren't even manufactured, sold or intended for use here. Feels like I'm being mugged by Whitehall.

[Skull Commander]

The fact that my repaired Xbox 360 was meant to be delivered back to me today and now I check the UPS tracking and it now says Monday. I cleared my day completely to make sure I would be in all day for nothing. Utter pish.

...and then it mysteriously appeared this afternoon. I don't know if my rant to UPS had any influence in this outcome.

But they PROMISED!

[Brad]

It makes me laugh. You'd never do that at work.
These companies NEVER promise anything.

have they all broken?

[J0e Musashi]

Two have, two were not the ones I ordered. and had to be returned.

[charlesr]

How did they break?

Also it irks me that RBS execs are asking for bonuses of any kind. I understand that it's in their contracts, but it should be based on making money, not how little they lose.... http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_rbs_bonuses_a/?tta

[eastyy]

irk of mine is when ever i go into a computer shop and looking to buy something they always have to order it in and they keep very little actual stock

Brought some PSone games from Peterborough to London to play on my PS3. Put them in only to find they're region locked. Jees.

I've been playing US PSone games from PSN on my PAL PS3 for months and now I find it doesn't play US disc games, I had stupidly assumed that if it played US games it would play US games.
