UK game retailer GameStation has come clear about including an immortal soul clause in their online t's & c's. Full story below. I'm just thankful that it was the relatively benign xbox pusher who tried this. I'm going to check my Sky terms tonight as I don't reckon Murdoch would 'fess up
Thousands of shoppers unknowingly signed their souls over to a computer-game store after failing to read the terms and conditions on their website.
GameStation added the "immortal soul clause" to online purchases earlier this month stating customers granted them the right to claim their soul.
While all shoppers during the test were given a simple tick box option to opt out, very few did this, which would have also rewarded them with a £5 voucher.
The store claims this shows 88 percent of people do not read the terms and conditions of a website before they make a purchase.
Bosses also say they will not be enforcing their rights and will now email customers nullifying any claim on their soul.
