Save the image, blow it up, read it to see all the main titles are absent.

Is this really 600 games, or maybe 6 games with 100 variation on each?

I thought the same thing almost immediately. It’s one thing to see these products on questionable websites or places that ship these consoles from China. But to see it on Woot? Really? It’s OK now to sell low-quality knockoffs with unauthorized versions of the games?

I guess if you have an opportunity to rip-off unsuspecting customers, AND giant software companies in one shot, you take it huh, Woot?

Because unless and until they receive a DMCA notice by the copyright holder, they aren’t legally obligated to take it down just because some people on the internet say that they should. Yeah, they COULD suspend the sale, contact the seller, and ask for verification that this is a legit item, but they don’t have to just because some customer said they should. Someone said they were going to contact Nintendo and try and get a cease and disist, that is the correct way of handling it.

People are questioning the morality, not the strict legality.

Forget ā€œunethical,ā€ it’s illegal!

Back when woot was a fledgling startup under Matt Rutledge, maybe, MAYBE this would have passed, (though I doubt it). But today under Amazon’s global umbrella, this is going to get someone fired.

Time to make the switch to meh.com

She already made the switch. :wink:

Proud of Wyoming for standing strong!

for this wondering if this is a good buy or not.
long story short… this isn’t the first of its kind nor will it be the last

www.newwoot.com

And, there it went. They took it down and replaced it. I guess somebody important found out.

Did it sell out?

My god… this is the first time outside of yahoo where I have ever seen so many people think their opinion was so massively important to the world… I almost bought one just to euphemistically ā€œtake a kneeā€ on all of you…

HOBBIES!!!

You seriously deleted my entire post? A post in which - might I add - I was defending you. Wow, you guys are like the opposite of Blizzard… and not in a good way. I did not expect this level of censorship from Woot.

I dunno, man… The world is a lot bigger than the (I’m randomly estimating here) forty or so people interested enough in this to come to a woot community forum about this specific product.

But thanks for tearing people down for having opinions and discussing them.

(while hypocritically assuming that we wanted to hear yours)

Thank you for the link! I was a wooter long before Amazon took over, back when it was actually 1 deal per day. Meh.com just gave me that good nostalgic feeling! I’m super excited! Do you know if they do boc’s (or something similar)?

They have had Fukubukuros (which were ā€œgoodā€ bags), and Fukobukuros (which were ā€œbadā€ bags).

Until May 20th, 2016, the latter were only on April 1st, but they replaced the fukus with fukos.

They officially killed off the Fukos after the final listing on July 9th, 2018, and will be selling IRKS.

(Instant Regret Kits).

Finally, you can look at the historical records of when they were sold:

Yeah, this is a poor product in so many ways. Had I known it was an illegitimate product I would not have purchased. Seeing as this is not returnable (unlike the other woot purchases I have made) I’m totally unhappy with Woot.

Hello there. I’m sorry you’re unhappy but you can return it. You an do a self return in Stuff You Bought or please use the Woot Customer Service form for assistance.
