GAME Newsletter Says DSi Has TWO Touchscreens!

[War]

I lol'd when I saw this. This is part of an add from GAME newsletter advertising the new DSi:

TWO TOUCHSCREENS, GUYS!

Source

Discuss how the European DSi gets two touchscreens and the others don't.

Edit: Haha, that was fast. They apparently realized the huge mistake they made and quickly pulled the ad off. Too bad I didn't screenie :<
Edit2: Found the ad somewhere else, enjoy.

 

[Law]

GAME is probably the most retarded store out there, with the most retarded staff.

I wouldn't be surprised if they started telling people this in-store on it's release day.

And then saying you can't buy it because a drivers license doesn't count as Photo ID.

Two touch screens. Wow.

 

[NeSchn]

Now where are you seeing this?

 

[Little]

They sent around another email very quickly saying they had made a mistake.

I've uploaded the image myslef so it can't get taken down anymore.

Enjoy your TWO TOUCHSCREENS.

This brightened my day.. for about 5 seconds until I read the Edit LOL.
Ahhh I hate GAME now they should burn for that!

update:

just got this email today ...

Dear Customer,

You may have noticed that we have already contacted you this morning regarding the
Nintendo DSi, which was officially announced to the European market today.

Unfortunately we've had a bit of a hiccup!

In this email we listed the new features that can be expected with the DSi on launch.

One of these bullet points stated that the DSi will come with 2 touch screens, unfortunately
this is not the case.

The DSi will come with only one touch screen, the same as the DS, however both screens
on the DSi have been expanded to 3.25inches.

We're obviously sorry for this miscommunication, however we hope you share our colossal
excitement for the DSi release on the 3rd April.

Kind Regards,

The Customer Service Team
GAME.co.uk

so there you have it they are all IDIOTS! (note it didn't actually say they are .... but should of done instead of not proof reading their own advertisements!!! )

 

[Smartpal]

'miscommunication' hahaha

not as bad but blockbusters latest ad claim to have little big planet for the 360 in stock

 

[Sonicslasher]

So that means the copy I got from Blockbuster of Little BIG Planet is a fake? I dare say, how rude of you! Why would you question such a fine establishment and possible tarnish their name. I say good day sir.

I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!

Woah woah woah, what's with all the hate on GAME. In my city you either go to GAME or you go to gamestation. Now if you lived here you wouldn't be bad-mouthing GAME. On the other hand gamestation is where you would find your typical nerd. PLUS (AND I'M NOT JOKING) the place smells like sweaty gym socks and natural B.O. while game is in a shopping centre and they are required to stay tidy.

You're in preston aren't you??!! XD
I saw that Black DSL was discontinued from a GameStop newsletter but I don't know because they're the only ones who said so far. better not be discontinued before I get mine once it drops price a bit.
