And it’s not talked about enough. All major Ecom companies here tweaked their return policies to deter users from abusing the return policies. They still keep happening in mysterious ways.. Especially those who claim they got soap boxes in place on an iPhone are just ridiculous and 100% fake. Except, I have witnessed this happen to a couple of people in my workplace.

I set a phone on a small tripod and record the entire unboxing from the e-comm packaging to the final product for any high value purchases nowadays. Heard enough horror stories to not take that risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a term called "open box" for such items, like which get returned but the customer didn't like it, or there was some minor defect, whatever. What Amazon and Flipkart seem to do is not check the returned items and dump them back into the same retail sales pool of items, which then gets shipped to other customers. Wonder if such fraud happenss in the Western Markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This replacement no questions asked started in India with these Amazon/FK type big ecoms. In America and other countries it started with supermarkets like Walmart. The ecoms came later, so irl walmart and other stores had this no-questions-asked-replacement policy. ofc then certain people started trying to game the system.

I think these ecomm sites red flag pin codes that have had some number of cases of fraud in a given time. They don't service these codes.

To blacklist there were many ways, for ecoms they can blacklist the address of some conman "customer" And even retail stores can blacklist their creditcard/debitcard. that is ofc if they give a damn to track such things.

On 7/23/2021 at 5:58 PM, AnK said: It’s most likely the motherboard there is power issue & it’s not getting up & running Just to be sure you can check the power cable But most likely it’s not that So, @AnK was right. It was indeed an issue with the motherboard. They quoted 2.5K to fix it and change the thermal paste because it's been so long and needed a service anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 ^^I remember an id dev openly saying that SeriesS was a bad idea Right before the Bathesda acquisition news was out Don’t really know why it’s so hard for some ppl to fathom the fact even after watching Final few games on each generation Most notably Cyberpunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) So what happened with Cyberpunk & PS4 after 7 years of launch will probably start happening with SeriesS at around 2-3 years of launch (if you ask me or look at Exodus it’s already started,f**ckin 512p)& even to stretch it that far developers will be forced to limit their vision on PS5/SX What a pathetic scenario it’s really going to be That’s why I never wanted it to sell well & hold any meaningful pull on this gen Edited July 27, 2021 by AnK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys have an OCD to talk bad about Xbox and just can't help yourself ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
