Don't buy from Gamestop

So I had $20 store credit for Gamestop. I decided to put that towards the Hardened edition of MW2, making it only $60 out of pocket.

Later, GS starts running a new trade-in promotion, 25% extra credit towards MW2. I bring in a game, only to find out I can't put anything down towards MW2 as I've already paid off the entire balance. I can put my trade towards another pre-order with the 25% bonus now; then I just talk to the manager on the day MW2 launches to get things straightened out. I called GS customer service and get the number for the district manager. I call and leave a message but never hear back from her. I decide to just wait to launch and in the meantime I trade-in 3 games for $56.

I go in today to talk to the store manager, only to find out that GS has stolen my money. I can not apply the $56 in pre-orders towards MW2. If I cancel my pre-order, I will get the $80 balance back as store credit. That $60 credit card payment will not be refunded. I call CS again, each store has it's own policy and corporate can't do anything. I call the district manager and she's not in.

tl;dr Gamestop took my $60 for an item that they haven't given me. They won't give me my money back, they'll only give me store credit.

EDIT
Called the credit card company to dispute this. I have the receipt from Day 1 showing how much I paid in store credit and how much I paid with my credit card. I have the receipt from the day I first tried to cancel my pre-order. And I have phone records showing the attempts I made at contacting the district manager.

Hello walmart.com and your $20 giftcard free with purchase.

The memory recording unit thing is pulled off the back of this. (HVR-Z7E)

It's actually the compact flash recorder of the camera but you can pull it off separately so you don't have to connect the whole thing to your computer. And that SSD is 120GB

That number is such a stretch for something so minuscule. At least I tried. I guess it doesn't pay to have been on this site since episode one and for over 5 years.

Well if you would like I can send you a pic of one or two of my older project invites, but since I'm not paid (with the exception of free software) I'm not an employee so child labor laws don't apply.

Who voices who?

I just want to know.
It sounds kind of like Geoff voices Grif, and whats-his-face with the glasses... black hair, stubly kinda beard, i think he plays Simmons, but who plays who?
I wanted to say "Hobbie!"
