    The irony about this whole post is obviously the company "madgames" should be avoided as they sell fake merchandise. However the company we all need to avoid (madgames) doesn't appear in the OP title and Play are the ones being blamed for this fake game! I am guessing madgames also operate on ebay, amazon marketplace etc. OP if you really wanted to warn people then really you should change the title to include the name of the company that is at fault!

    I wont have the game as trading standards have asked for it. No difference to me anyhow as it was for a DSI and the DSI wont play fake games. So I am not benefitting in any way from this inconvenience. When I get my refund I will pop along to game and buy it from them.

    Is that true? I thought the DSI had been hacked now so you could play fake games via a flash card e.g an R4? I must admit though I have a DS somewhere I never got the DSI, i'm waiting for the 3D one to come out.

    Regarding my post at 9:54pm, I was merely pointing out the holes in what you are saying. Read it again, you will see what I mean.

    I think you should read the forum rules, because since the start of this thread, all you have been is hostile and obnoxious. It is not just me warning you to change your thread title.

    Irrespective, your threads have now been forwarded to the site team for review.
    Best Regards

    zppp :)

    And hostile? I dont think so, I havent said anything remotely hostile, I am thinking you are just upset because i didnt respond to your REQUEST to change my title. You are nobody to tell me to change the title. As I have stated, if the mods think it is wrong they may REMOVE the thread.

    you do realise that if you had changed it earlier it might not have got heated as it has done,

    do you understand why it had to be changed, since play didnt sell the game they arent the ones to have a gripe with but the trader is as they sold you said item

    All i have done is add madgames to it, as goater78 said it would draw more attention to that particular trader.

    Im sure ZPPP will still agree it contains the same horrible nasty ANTI play.com wording as it did before, I havent bowed to his "REQUEST" I have merely added more information a more civil poster stated should be added.
