![]() These types of memberships do benefit some people, and if that's you then great, but make no mistake that this is all about money. If they're making money on something, then it's costing you. There is a reason they push certain things like memberships and warranties so hard - they make money on it. In general, anything a retailer wants you to buy is probably not a good idea for you. Now that we have that unpleasantness behind us, here's how I feel about the situation. I see you registered just to post this.your choice of usernames was a mistake. 15 bucks for 15% or whatever more on trade-ins and 15% or whatever less on all used items, access to exclusive offers, and a year subscription to GameInformer? How is that a bad deal? Do you ever buy or sell used games? You say more than 15 bucks in a year if you go there at least once a month, which if you really play videogames, you'd be going there more than once a month. Seriously? Most of you are complete idiots. Can we do something about that?" Got put on hold, got free shipping labels that saved us something like said: If I'm going to get burned on shipping, I can always take my business to best buy, but so far I've never had problems with you. I just got newegg to knock off return shipping and a restocking fee from a large purchase I made accidentally by saying, ".seriously? So you're not going to give me free shipping on that? You do realize I still to make an even bigger order right now. Staying calm and making people feel like they're about to make a huge mistake tends to work out well. We can call them now, if you'd like, that way you get a chance to try to defend your actions." Say "Look, I understand you are under pressure to get subscriptions, and you don't want to admit that I'm right here, but before you answer again, ask yourself if $15 is worth the loss of my continued patronage, as well as the complain calls I'm going to make to your corporate office if we don't satisfactorily resolve this. See, that's what you had to say while there. ![]() It's ok though, they can have my $15, I will just never go there again. On their website under the promotion, it said nothing about needing it, and on the Powerup Rewards page there is clearly a checkmark under the "Free" program for "exclusive offers". Well I went there today to ask them if maybe it was a mistake and I didn't actually need the $15 membership for the deal, and they insisted that I needed it after I had to explain for 5 minutes what deal I was talking about and produce a receipt. That's beside the point anyways, the point of my post is that they conned me into getting the 1-year said: This ordeal has just reaffirmed the reasons I don't go there. How should I go about doing this? Should I storm into one of their stores (that have a disturbing fat person smell might i add) and demand a refund, or use the "contact us" customer service No one I know shops at Gamestop (Best Buy gives way better prices on trade ins), and neither do I except to take advantage of this one promotion. Long story short, after checking out their website and such I'm about 95% certain they conned me into getting the membership, when all I really needed was the FREE version of Powerup rewards.Īs it's only $15, it's not exactly the end of the world, but I would like to reclaim it anyways out of principle alone. This didn't sound right to me, but I figured I had just missed some fine print on the offer details or something and agreed after asking if they were certain about this and they told me "yes". Well anyways, once there and at the end of the transaction, they inform me I need the $15 Powerup Rewards 1 year membership to take advantage of the deal. I had been thinking about upgrading to a new slim with a larger harddrive for some time, so this seemed like the right opportunity. Like 2 or 3 weeks ago, they were running a trade-in promotion where they give you $150 for your old PS3.

Because network speeds can vary, a baseline reading without any VPN service active was taken before each round of tests. Each service was tested for connection time, latency (network delay) and upload and download speeds using Ookla's online service.Įach parameter was tested three times and then averaged. Testing was done at a suburban New York home provisioned with regular consumer cable-broadband service. We tested Avira Phantom VPN's free offering and those of eight other services:, Hotspot Shield, the Opera browser VPN, ProtonVPN, Speedify, SurfEasy, TunnelBear and Windscribe. Because Avira is based in Germany, it should be beyond the reach of American search warrants - although German police are known for heavy-handed digital snooping. With Phantom, you can use Open VPN (for Windows or Android) or L2TP/IPsec (for macOS and iOS) to secure your connection with its VPN servers.

If you see a website that asks you to pay for a coupon code or VPN discount or requires a paid membership to access them, it’ s a scam. If the site’s URL has “https,” it’s secured and safe.

Nicander uses the form Hegesilaus ( Ἡγεσίλαος). Įpithets of Hades include Agesander ( Ἀγήσανδρος) and Agesilaos ( Ἀγεσίλαος), both from ágō ( ἄγω, "lead", "carry" or "fetch") and anḗr ( ἀνήρ, "man") or laos ( λαός, "men" or "people"), describing Hades as the god who carries away all. More elaborate names of the same genre were Ploutodótēs ( Πλουτοδότης) or Ploutodotḗr ( Πλουτοδοτήρ), meaning "giver of wealth". This deity was a mixture of the Greek god Hades and the Eleusinian icon Ploutos, and from this he also received a priestess, which was not previously practiced in Greece. Plouton became the Roman god who both rules the underworld and distributed riches from below. Perhaps from fear of pronouncing his name, around the 5th century BC, the Greeks started referring to Hades as Plouton ( Πλούτων Ploútōn), with a root meaning "wealthy", considering that from the abode below (i.e., the soil) come riches (e.g., fertile crops, metals and so on). Later the iota became silent, then a subscript marking ( ᾍδης), and finally omitted entirely ( Άδης). ![]() The name as it came to be known in classical times was Háidēs ( Ἅιδης). Other poetic variations of the name include Aïdōneús ( Ἀϊδωνεύς) and the inflected forms Áïdos ( Ἄϊδος, gen.), Áïdi ( Ἄϊδι, dat.), and Áïda ( Ἄϊδα, acc.), whose reconstructed nominative case * Áïs ( * Ἄϊς) is, however, not attested. In Homeric and Ionic Greek, he was known as Áïdēs. Detail from an Attic red-figure amphora, ca. Martin Litchfield West argues instead for an original meaning of "the one who presides over meeting up" from the universality of death. The earliest attested form is Aḯdēs ( Ἀΐδης), which lacks the proposed digamma. Modern linguists have proposed the Proto-Greek form * Awides ("unseen"). An extensive section of Plato's dialogue Cratylus is devoted to the etymology of the god's name, in which Socrates is arguing for a folk etymology not from "unseen" but from "his knowledge ( eidenai) of all noble things". The origin of Hades' name is uncertain but has generally been seen as meaning "the unseen one" since antiquity. Ploútōn), itself a euphemistic title often given to Hades.
