Read the fine print....
For those of you who live in the U.K. and get your games from Gamestation.co.uk on the net, I hope you've read the fine print of that contract you agreed to.

Under http://gamestation.co.uk/Help/TermsAndConditions/">Terms and Conditions beneath the section marked Orders for Sales & Purchases you'll find the following clause:

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. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions. We reserve the right to serve such notice in 6 (six) foot high letters of fire, however we can accept no liability for any loss or damage caused by such an act. If you a) do not believe you have an immortal soul, b) have already given it to another party, or c) do not wish to grant Us such a license, please click the link below to nullify this sub-clause and proceed with your transaction.

To be clear GameStation has announced that they won't be enforcing that particular clause and that, more importantly, they will be sending an email to everyone who didn't opt out with wording that http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2010/04/15/gamestation-we-own-your-soul/1">nullifies the clause.

1. They lay claim to your immortal soul.
I think it's hilarious...
