So I go to EB games (or gamestop in some areas) to purchase BF 2142 (a little late, I know). Youshould know that in eb games they just have the empty boxes for display, and the game itselfare in the shelves behind the counter. I bring the box to the cashier, he goes behine the counter and puts in whatever is necessary. Pay him, and go home. When I open the box, all I see is a disc, no manual. I guess the manual wasn't nessary, nobody reads them anyways :P. So I pop in the disc, after multiple clicks of yes, it ask me for the CD key. I knew that it was on the manual, so I quicky go back th eb games. I told the cashier (it was a different guy though) that my game didn't come with a manual which needed the CD key to install. He then said that I was a liar and that I was trying to get 2 CD keys. I asked to speak with the manager, some 40ish guy came out. He said that he was sorry that he couldn't help me, I know that themanager was a nice guybecausehe had a sorry tone in his voice. So then I went to wal mart (should have done in the first place) and got 2142.

Check your games before you go. That's what I do before I leave EB after my experience with purchasing Persona3 for my bro.

I don't buy games from shops anymore unless they're sealed, so I usually save myself a copy when they're delivered. That's only if I don't buy from Amazon though.

That happened to me once...and now I simply don't give them anymore business.

I bought Max Payne 2...I got only one of the disks. Oh well, my fault. But now I only buy games when I have the entire product in my hands SEALED prior to purchase.

i only buy used psp games there. and even then i pop them in and make sure that they work.

cause essentially, everyone with a psp and common sense, treats their psp games good, and the little plastic case protects the actual game, so in theory, your buyinga brand new game, with a slightly scratched and smudged cd case.

I actually had a good experience at GameStop. When I was stationed in England, I bought a 360 off a friend for $600. It came with 17 games and some periphs. When I went home on leave, I went to GameStop to trade in some of the less desirable games in his collection (i.e. Civil War, Texas Hold 'Em). You know how they basically give you a fraction of a penny for each game you trade in? Well, this dude wanted to give me this frequent trader card and gave me this talk about it. He said it would cost me $10, but it would up the value of my trade-ins considerably, and I'd get a subscription to Game Informer. I agreed, and he forgot to charge me! Oh noes!

I hate those little kids who stand around the counter and want attention. I was at eb games once picking up a game, i forget which 1, and ther was this kid, about 9 or 10 years old whining about how he wanted money or a game. I could tell the clerks were annoyed so they told him, organize all the shelves and vaccume the carpet and we'l give you 2$. The kid cried Noooo and stormed out lol

I get my games at Wal-Mart or online, it's closer. An EB just opened up locally, and i doubt i'll even go there.

when I bought Mass Effect at EB, the guy who sold it to me said he hated it. I guess he doesn't like good games :|
