UK game retailer claims 7,500 souls with a legal agreement prank

Don't think about it, just answer: Do you really read all of those agreements and legal texts that you need to scroll through when
installing a game, signing up for a service or buying something online? Really? 7,500 people either don't, or they don't care about their eternal salvation, because UK video game retailer Gamestation could now legally own 7,500 souls if it wanted to. On April 1, it added a clause to its legal purchase agreement that granted the company "a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul," and 7,500 game buyers happily clicked to agree.

The company was just April Fooling -- the claims have been legally renounced, and worried patrons can click through to the website to get their soul back (and a special discount code for their trouble). But next time, you should probably read the fine print a little more closely.

It's always in the fine print... lol

Standard fare. You have to sign one when you buy your first Mac.

I'm just waiting for the company CEO to show up at my home to collect...

There is really no telling what I have agreed to over the years. I just don't ever read the 16 pages worth of Terms and Conditions. If you want what ever it is, you have to agree. So, like a good sheep, I click the "I agree" button and move on.

Thats a really good one. Probably best April Fools prank/joke I've seen this year.

Gamestation stores always smell funny. I don't like going in them.

Don't forget the volunteer salesman clause.

But I already sold my soul to someone else...

well if you look in the itunes legal agreement there is a clause that states you will not reverse engineer this program for use in controlling or in the production of Weapons of Mass Destruction...
