I ordered a Resident Evil Chainsaw controller from Play.com about four weeks ago. After three weeks of the release date being put back countless times, I finally got it today...
I was not impressed.
The box it came in (The brown outer delivery box) said on the side "Contents 2". I was at first a bit baffled, but soon discovered that the box only contained one, plus some skanky packaging holding it in place...
It seems NubyTech ships these in boxes of two, so when they are sold, the box is opened and one sent per order. I was lucky to actually receive the original box, but other people may not have been so lucky...
As GAME and GameStation refuse to stock it (Individual managers decisions, so some may) - Online is the only place to buy it...
Anyway, my box arrived covered in brown packing tape where it had been blatently RESEALED, and upon opening, had score marks where some norbert had cut it with a knife...
I decided it would be a good idea to let Play.com know exactly how I felt, so I eMailed them the following:

Whatever were NubyTech thinking? Why did they feel the need to ship them in packs of two?
Also, if I had ordered two, would I receive them individually, or in a box untouched? Had I known before, I would have ordered two... One to play, one to remain as a collector's piece...
