This is funny... I don't see what the big deal is anyhow. Technically you don’t own the game anyhow when you do buy it. You simply own the right to use it. For anyone that is buying the PC version, they should know by now that buying a game in the store is pointless when you can just download it from such providers like Steam. As long as they don’t scratch the DVD's or crack open a collector’s edition, then who cares about a stupid coupon that you can get for free online. The only people that should be pissed is the game manufacturer due that the coupon was a sponsor and probably paid them to put it in there. However, GameStop purchased the game to sell it... So before you own the box, they own it and can do what they want with it. If anything the games manufacturer should just not do business with them for a bit or ship their product out a day later to teach them a lesson. What hurts a business more then not having the greatest product on your shelf before anyone else?
