Two things I'd like to note before I get to the point of the topic. 1. I know the information I gave as to location is bogus, but my mom doesn't let me give out the real information. 2. I don't know what type of language is allowed on this site, but out of respect for my sensitive teenage ears please refrain from saying anything vulgar in this topic.

Now, on to the main point. My mother gave me two GBA games at Christmas, one of which I just opened. It's Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. The manual is blurry, only five pages long, and the video game described inside is different then the one on the cover and on the box (and in the cartridge). The cartridge is a bit too snug in my GBA, and has no number indented on the sticker. "Nintendo" is not printed inside behind the ridges. The back of the box is pixelated.

My mom already left seller feedback on eBay for the guy who sold it to her, so it might be too late to do anything. Any suggestions on what to do with my possibly bootlegged game?

LOL are you serious lolololololol

and the only thing you can do is throw it away idiot

wow this post made my day

Lulz, you can get reported for that...But I am in no mood of reporting anyone tonight.

If you know the exact location of this guy, you could just send the companies against piracy...That would always work.

Go to the ebay people and report it. You did get a fake game, and I'm sorry to hear that. That's what happened to me with Bomberman Tournament for the GBA but I thankfully got that taken care of.

I never understood why people sell fake games on ebay.. its so easy to report it, and they only sell for like 20 bucks max..seems pretty ridiculous to me.

Sucks for you dude.

There's a few things you can do....

-Report it

-Just keep playing it

-or resell it to some other person (lol, just kidding)

But dude, seriously, its a GBA game. They go for what? $5.00 - $15.00 ($20.00 for a good Pokemon game)

at GAMESTOP
