flamingjimmy   10 #1 Posted April 19, 2010 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100015-7500-Gamers-Sell-Their-Souls-to-GameStation  Do you ever read the terms and conditions when you are buying/installing something on your PC?  I don't, and neither did roughly 7500 people who bought online from gamestation on April 1st. If they had, then they would've noticed the 'Immortal Soul Clause' which read as follows:  "By placing an order via this web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul,"  Those who did bother to read the T & C found that there was a box to tick to opt out of this clause which also gave them a £5 discount!  Great April fools joke but also makes me wonder, are we far to quick to agree to these things without knowing what we are agreeing to?
