I once ordered Sonic Riders for Xbox and they shipped it to me with a copy of Sonic Riders for PS2 inside the Xbox box. I have no idea how they screwed that up in shipping so hard. It was sealed and everything lol

I got an order screw up once and it actually worked out in my favor. I ordered Hoshi No Kirby 3 for the Super Famicom from Japan and instead ended up getting Sparkster for the Super Famicom instead. Not only was Sparkster a good game but it was also 4x more expensive. I ended up rebuying Hoshi No Kirby 3 again and got it later. I told the seller what happened and they let me keep the game.

Not sure if it was because on Amazon they don't have pictures with each listing, but I was under the assumption I was buying the Japanese version of Spider-Man 2002 on Gamecube, when in reality I got the US copy I already owned...Ended up getting the JP copy later on, literally only just to hear the voice acting and such. LOL

Me I Preordered Doom 2016 Xbox one Limited Edition Version instead I got PS4 Limited Edition Version The Limited edition didn’t have a tag for which console it was on So I had to go back to EB games a few days later Because we were busy got the right version after Even the guy who works at EB games Found it stupid how it didn’t have a Tag for which console it one.

A couple years ago I bought Psychonauts for the PS2, from eBay. At the time it was cheap ($20) but the seller sent me an Xbox copy (in pristine, CIB condition, by the way). On top of that, they didn't even answered my messages regarding the problem. I threw the towel, kept the game and bought another PS2 copy from a different vendor, for the same price. Well, since Psychonauts 2 was released, the first one is now quite expensive, specially the Xbox version. So... Thanks, eBay vendor !!!! :D

Haha! This kind of reminds me of what happened to me in 1993. My parents bought me a CD-I for Christmas that year and one of the games they got me was The 7th Guest. That game was on back order for months. Every time I thought the game would come, I would get another notice that it would come at a later date. Anyway. The game eventually showed up and I was so stoked to put it in and play it. I popped it in my CD-I and was met with a message that the game wouldn't play without having the Digital Video Cartridge installed! I had to wait until the Christmas of 1994 before I could finally play the game! Great video Tyler! It totally reminded me of the Christmas of 1993 and my ordeal with The 7th Guest.

This reminded me of when I got my N64 on Christmas but my grandparents’ tv only supported RF input. I needed to buy a separate RF adapter, and this was before Amazon. I was pissed and my fit is now immortalized in a family video. You definitely handled it better than I would have.
@anonamatron
@anonamatron 2 жыл бұрын
I got my RF adapter in a separate box. Luckily my parents thought about that... our main TV didn't need it but the TV where all the gaming went on did. I remember opening the N64 and being disappointed that there wasn't a game. My parents wouldn't know that since consoles always had a pack-in. I told them I could use my Christmas money to go get Mario 64. I had two other N64 related gifts. The RF adapter, and.... Mario 64! I then called a friend to come over and check it out and he insisted that I was a liar and that if I didn't really have an N64 he could cut my dick off. Yep........ Well, I'm no liar, so my anatomy is intact.

It's been an adult dream of mine to make a chaos chao but I really only play when my family gets together around the holidays. But I got this christmas morning a little late in like 2004, along with mario sunshine, animal crossing, and a few other classics. These are all the games I think of from my childhood, and I have a special story for all of them haha. But SAB2 is the one we all mainly play together when we all get together, that, and Super Monkey Ball 2 aged extremely well. I could go on forever

Almost a little bit relevant to this but in 2001 as well. My father for Christmas ended up getting me SA2 for Dreamcast, but instead when I opened it I saw the back cover of marvel vs capcom 2. When I flipped it around there was sonic adventure 2 showing only the game itself inside a marvel vs capcom. Even though I thought they screwed over my dad from ordering this game, I was still able to play it Christmas Day despite of not getting the official physical box art. What a strange year for me and you when it came to SA2! Haha I love your stories and nostalgic clips of those awesome times.

Hey Tyler, I love your videos and I have probably said it before but damn your dad would be so proud of you and this channel. I'm gutted for you that he's no longer with you enjoying the new consoles and know he'd be making these videos with you if he was. I'm so jealous of the endless footage you have of you with your family. I'm thankful I have memories of my grandparents but wish terribly my parents were more into having made videos when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing your memories with us all as they truly trigger some of my own.
