EB Games return policy

Well I bought Civilization IV (from EB Games) about a year ago and went home to play it. I didn't really like the turn based part of the game and returned it the next day, what I didn't know was that I wouldn't get a full refund. I went back there and I only got about 1/4 of what I paid, however if I go somewhere like Future Shop they'd give me a 100% refund. I even returned my PS3 at Future shop because it was an open box (and it wasn't clearly labeled) and got a brand new one plus a Blu-Ray Spiderman 3 DVD and MLB 08 (Which didn't come with the bundle I was buying, thats called good service).

This disturbs me because I bought THPG a couple of days ago from EB but now I want to return it and buy Skate. So I just want to know from those people who shop at EB, do they still have this bad return policy?

Because if they still do then I'd be better off buying Skate and keeping THPG.

you could call them. But im happy you realized your stupidity of buying another tony hawk game, Skate FTW! ConkerAndBerri2

Well I owned Skate back when I had my 360 so I wanted to try something new, besides THPG is a game that you can lol non stop just for the things you can do in it.

The fact that you got 1/4 credit for returning a PC game sounds like a pretty dang good return policy to me. Most places tell you to get lost when returning a PC game. raven_squad

So does this mean I can get a full refund returning a console game?

As long as you haven't opened it. If you bought it used, I think you can return it for a full refund.

Dude,he didn't actually return it,they consider it a trade in.That copy of civ would go to the used game section.You can't do this with some games though,like mmo's,because of cd keys.

I dont know about where your from, but I have NEVER been able to trade in a PC game. Ever. I have never seen used PC games available either.

And no, you cant return a new game for a full refund, unless you havent opened the game. Used you usually can.

Damn, I opended it and have owned it for a few days, but I think I have the receipt.

I always try to avoid returning stuff, thats why i choose my purchase carefully. I would like to recommend though, and i think alot of people would agree, and no bagging out involved either, but maybe you should rent before you buy, saves u sepnding alot of money and on top of that you know what kinda game you want.momo372

But when I rent games I either beat them or come close to beating them. So whats the point in blowing $60 when I already blasted through most of the game?

I think the lol is called fun.

Yeah, I've loved playing Tony Hawk's games since I was a kid and it still seems to be more fun than Skate. I think I'm just going to buy a second controller.

By the way, a question to anyone who lives on Canada. I tried looking on Futureshops (and EB's) website looking for another SIXAXIS controller, but all they've got is SIXAXIS Dualshock 3 controllers. Have they discontinued the SIXAXIS?

you can always be an **** hole and damage the disk and be like this disk is damage i want my money back * sad face =(

This is pretty typical of used game stores. They charge you about 25% of the MSRP, and resell at about 75% MSRP.

It seems like a ripoff, and for the most part is, but the retailer takes a bit of a gamble on each copy they buy hoping to resell it before the MSRP drops dramatically.

If a used game gets oversaturated a store can windup w/ hundreds of used copies they have no hope of selling.

As for used pc games hardly any stores will take them since you technically don't buy the game you buy a non-transferable liscense.

You didn't "return" Civ IV, you "traded it in." foxhound_fox

Ya that's what he did.

Never shop at EB unless you can't find something anywhere else.foxhound_fox

Well EB Games used games are so much cheaper then new games at other stores.

You think that's going to work? they check the disc before they give it to you.
