[QUOTE=NielsGade;33912619]look, you made me read their terms and conditions

Thank you. You have solved the case. This was all that was needed to shut me up.

No, you just make us look like idiots to the rest of the world. Fuck, dude.

You'd lose miserably while excelling at making a fool of yourself for suing over something so moronic.
It's like if you were mailed a flying in the post that advertised "20 GALLONS OF GAS, $2.99!" and you went to the station and saw that 20 gallons of gas would cost around 140 bucks. Just because something (which isn't backed by any evidence or proof of the price agreement) you saw said otherwise.
stop being a brick wall and take the advice. YOU CANT SUE. stop trying to justify doing it
[QUOTE=NielsGade;33912691]it's common sense[/QUOTE]
Their terms and conditions is common sense? So i have no common sense because I didn't know it by heart?

By installing the app you agree and state that you read the Terms and Conditions in full; so yes, you have no common sense by even thinking of suing a company over something so trivial, so trivial in fact that the app more or less states it.

Not on everything but at times i do, but if i were about to enter a legal battle that was initiated by something like a 3rd party app, i want to know if the company states something that could cause me to automatically default on the case.

OP, don't ever become a lawyer...or even write a research paper.
[QUOTE=NielsGade;33912769]it's common sense that 3rd party advertisers aren't held responsible for the content, because they can't control the price[/QUOTE]
But they can control their ads
[QUOTE=Heatvision...;33912800]But they can control their ads[/QUOTE]
Maybe they don't know that the price changed and were never informed of it? They can't change what they don't know.

I didnt check shopsavvy terms and conditions because the original focus was on gamestop. And i wasn't prepared to take legal action hence why I'm on FP asking this

They shouldn't be advertising for something they don't know about
If you can't afford the PS3 without the 'discount price', have fun trying to afford taking a company to court.

Why would you believe a 3rd party app's stated price over a corporation's price who actually sells the item.
If you did take this to court you'd have to say where you saw the "sale" price; upon stating this, the case would be dismissed as the Terms and conditions of the app break the case. So, why would you never take the app into account? Your tunnel vision would do your own self in.
[QUOTE=Heatvision...;33912836]

See all political campaigns.
My advice would to never even think about taking someone or something to court without having a basic understanding of how courts work.

I previoulsly thought that the ad on the app was owned by gamestop because their logo and name were used to promote the ad

The app probably works from some sort of custom rss feed or something, mistakes happen. There isn't a person who is going through ever dealer's website 24/7 to hand tailor the app's lists.

that alone should have warranted investigation on your own part, looking to see if it was owned by gamestop is as simple as looking at the fine print often at the bottom of the page.

On hindsight yea i agree but it took 50 posts for someone to shut me up on what was said to be a dumb argument
That's common sense as well because, why would a game store create an app that gives and lists sale prices for more or less anything. They'd most likely just create an app called "gamestop online" that would link DIRECTLY to their site. Like Best Buy's app or amazon's app.

I count 1 post:
[QUOTE=MattJeanes;33910799]ShopSavvy appears to be an unofficial app, can provide inaccurate or false information, don't bother.[/QUOTE]
And later on
[QUOTE=Heatvision...;33910823]Yea but why did the actual manager of the store blame it on their system. And isn't that a violation on ShopSavvy's part by using GameStop's name and logo?[/QUOTE]
I must come back to "understanding how courts work" but also include law. As long as the app isn't making money off using Gamestop's logo, it's legal. Buying the app doesn't mean you just paid them for something gamestop owns.
If they were posing as gamestop then yeah, they are making money off copyrighted material. Just listing the price saying "gamestop is selling a game for 99 cents!" isn't breaching copyright.
[QUOTE=Heatvision...;33912531]It's a megamillion dollar company that has plotted to fuck me out of my money since I was a young child. Sorry no sympathy[/QUOTE]
I'm not even going to dignify this with an appropriate response. It's just too stupid.

Video games are different from ads, bud. Copyright infringement get's really involved as to what is and isn't infringement. An ad app that is free to download is allowed to use logo's because it's a FREE APP. I.E they aren't making money by listing a company's sale price.
You paid for the game, you downloaded the app for free.

Ok but when I'm on the app and i click on the 2.49 price and then click on the gamestope nearest me then click "price match" it tells me "Their (gamestop store) will not match the price on "their" site)
