Gamestops logic is questionable....

[murdamann10]

So, due to myself being broke, and needing to at least pay my phone bill, I suck it up and decide that I need to go return madden to gamestop. So i go there and everything is cool at first. I tell the dude that I need to return the game, and he reply's with "we cant do that". Now, that took me by surprise. So I ask him why, he says, "its just a gamestop thing." WOW. Talk about bull crap. So he told me that I can trade it in for a whooping $27....when just 6 days ago i paid $60 +tax. So, apparently, the only way to get a return on new items is if it doesnt work, and if that case they just replace it. Its crazy logic, you can return any used game for a full price, but you cant return any games that you bought new? it puzzles me....

That's how it is everywhere...they can't sell a used game as new.

If it's out of it's shrink wrap, consider it used up already. It's the main practice in every store for years.

You cant just return it like that and expect a fully refund, but I would expect you to be able to sell it back for more than 27.

After all, they only sell the used game 5 dollars cheaper.

I'm not a big Gamestop fan, but if you've already opened the game and played it, then of course they aren't going to give you a full refund. They can't legally, sell the game as new again.

You can't return games ANYWHERE. It's an anti-piracy issue. It's not a gamestop thing it's a retail thing. Buy it from a Wal-mart or a Best Buy, they'll tell you can only exchange it for a different copy of the same game. The idea being to prevent people from buying a disc, copying it, and returning it to get said disc for free.

Sell it on craigslist for 50 bucks. I am sorry for your financial situation, but buying madden when you are broke, or close to it, is not a good idea.

[LionsSuperFan22]

take it to walmart and hope they give you a sealed copy for exchange. then take it wherever you want.
