No worries, Karma will make all right once again.

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Maybe the person that let him take it was a Manager trying to keep a customer satisfied by providing good customer service, and gave him the extras to show same. I know its rare now adays, but i hold out hope its still out there.

My Saitek X45 broke once, a plastic ring at the base of the stick detached from the body. So I returned it and they sent back an another stick, which seemed to been used, possibly a returned stick that had been repaired. I immediately checked the same plastic ring and well, didn't it already show signs of breaking apart from the body, halfway detached. I returned it too, they apologized it and sent a brand new X45, along with Morrowind CD, which seemed to be a bit out of place. I suppose they added it to the package to make up for the trouble. Morrowind is one of the best games ever, although HOTAS is no use with it ;)

I have a friend who sent in a 360 after the red-rings. They sent him back a completely different one saying they had just refurbished it.

Took a cable back to Best Buy along with a couple of other items.  Didn;t realize it till I got home, but htey had credited me for soemthing I kept from that purchase.  They must not have payed attention when checking of the items I returned.  Of course, neither did I.   :D
