So I walk into GameStop today...

and as usual, I leave regretting I ever entered in the first place.

I went there looking for a used version of Resident Evil 4 withouth the Greatest Hits logo. I found it, the game even looked new. Plastic still had some shine to it. I check out and return home to peal off all 97 "USED GAME" stickers around the box. I peal off one of them to discover that this version of the game is the Resident Evil from the trilogy pack. It has a "Part of a set. Not intended for individual sale, return or exchange" logo on it.

My question is, am I entitled to an exchange? Or will they decide to screw me over once again? I figure I ask here rather than walk all the way there and get rejected.

Thanks.

lol

It's always funny to hear GameStop histories... as long as they ain't yours.

GameStop strikes back!!!

I would just buy another one, making sure it's the cover art I want, switch the cover art and return it.thaflu

The artwork is the same on the box. There's just this tiny logo in back of the game that tells you that it came from a set. But here's the thing, let's say I try to sell this game, I won't be able to because of it. This is why I want to exchage it.

Plus if I do switch the box art paper, the serial on the side of the box and in the game would be different.

You know what, I've had it. I'm pledging here and now never to buy anything from GameStop ever again. They've screwed me over more times than I can count. It's my own fault. I'm done.

You know what they say:

If you do it once, shame on you. If you do it twice, shame on me.

Now, sorry for my last post but I find it funny how everybody gets screwed by GameStop and nobody seems to learn.

Anyway, I'd probably bust into the store and wreck havock 'til they change it, because you're right... Plus, being a part of a set, and not for individual sale, they should've never sold it to you in the first place.

lol Goblin, it's not such a bad idea. And I didnt really have a problem with your previous post.

But yeah, only reason I was buying stuff from them was because I was looking for a bunch of hard to find PS2 games so I had to go to a place with a lot of used games. now that I've got everything, I'm done with them.

And yeah, it's amazing how many people GS screws over. I've heard stories far worse where people pre-order games and go to pick them up and they don't have anymore or something. I'd be so P.O.'d.

I thought since they weren't allowed to sell it to me in the first place, I could geta refund. Whatever, I'll letthis one pass. No use in going bac now.

Oh, and no one in the store ever checks the serial numbers. They don't have time for that crap.

Get the Premium Edition in the metal case. Most pimp packaging ever for an RE game.

They will exchange it.

I bought a copy of Vice City once and they gave me a copy from the GTA trilogy. The box was the original. I took it back and they gave me the one I wanted no problem.

I HATE those &$##!! stickers! They do that just to piss people off!Neoguru25

Yeah, I know what you mean... I spend ten minutes taking those stupid things off, and then my fingers are stuck together for half the day.

Once upon a time I loved GameStop. Then they started carrying more used games than new games. Then I couldn't FIND any new games. So I stuck with the online store. Then I ordered a game that they had to backorder, and I kept going back to check on the process and it would say backordered, and then processing, and then backordered, and then processing, and then backordered, and...well, you get the point. End result? I gave up.

It's still the most easily accessible place to get games though.

I tried to trade in my Forza 2 motorsport for x360 in there but it had a "not for resale" imprint on the back. They refused it. That being said, they can get in a lot of trouble for selling you a game in that fashion, because they've just sold you a game that you can never sell anywhere else.

Take it back, if they refuse, then ask for the manager. Make a big deal out of this.

That's what I would do.
