some people got to ruin it for the rest of us
« on: March 18, 2004, 05:37 PM »
I recently purchased a ps2 game from gamestop. I always bought from there because you could return it if it stunk. Well i just happened to buy a lousy game, but when i tried to return it they told me i couldnt. they told me they were being sued because they were re-selling returned games as new. I can understand peoples points of them not being new any more because they were bought and returned. So because a few people had to take this to an extreme we cant return bad games anymore. Some may say rent it first, well when i game is 20, and you are renting it for 25% of the price, it seems kind of silly. I just wish everyone would stop sueing everyone over stupid sh**

Definately rent for a couple of bucks before buying for $20 to $50... You might feel kinda silly if you love the game and go out and buy it before you can even return the rental - but you'll feel dumb (and broke) if you buy a game and hate it.

Our town has a Used Videogames and CD's store where you can try anything before you buy it - I suggest you shop around and see if your town doesn't have one of these too.  ;)

Just wondering - what game was it?

and if i'm not mistaken, that is against the law... i know i would be pissed if i bought a game for full price only to learn that it had been used and returned.

I'd demand a refund if I knew my CD had been used, yet I was charged for an unused disc. Bad business.  >:(
