YOu can do that with used games, but with new games, once opened, you can't get a refund. All you can do is exchange it for the SAME game. if unopened though, a new game can be returned for a full refund if taken back within a certain timeframe ;)

oh yeah my friend u can def do that. I find myself taking advantage of that as much as possible. All used games can be brought back in 7 days for a full refund or a different game for the same value. Also ur not limited to doing it only 1 time. Such as you can buy Street Fighter 4 used and then bring it back and get RE5 then bring that back and get Killzone....Catch my drift...now go enjoy many games for only 50 bucks!!! haha

Regardless of the reason for returning a purchased preowned game, their policy states that you can return it within 7 days for a full refund of the original purchase. Although you can do it only 3 times within a time period which I am unclear of.

To elaborate, if you purchase any games that are preowned or new, you are entitled to return it to any of their stores for the original amount you paid for within 7 days of the purchase. In other words, you have exactley 168 Hours to exchange it back for your cash if your unhappy with the product you purchased.

To elaborate on the 3 times period, when you purchase a game and return it. doing that process for 3 times in a row you are excluded from the policy of returning after a purchase for a set amount of time (unknown, could be weeks) until it is renewed.

yea, but they would pick up on that and "mark" you (unless the employee is not smart enough) I prefer to be honest about it. I always use teh same gamestop, ppl knows me there. So that way I feel confortable, knowing stuff like my reserved would be there with my bonus even if I`m 2-3 days late (I called thus), that i can return stuff that i do not like... hey, I have even brake cases and they replace it... so yea... :)

And like someone said, there is suppose to be a limit. But if you do not abuse the system they would actually be pretty nice about it. I one time could not decide among 3 games and instead of try and come back.. and so.. they just say, pay one and come back and return the 2 you do not like. (of course it had to be in a short time period but yea :P )

enjoy gaming..

Why don't you call EBGames and ask your questions directly to them?

GameStop doesn't have any disclosed limit. Returns are accepted up to seven days. I abuse the system regularly. I also have five GS stores in my area so I rotate often. That way I don't have to listen to their sh!tty remarks (they were being total douches at one store when they figured me out). Basically, in a weeks time I can play about 5 or 6 games for the price of one. That's like renting six games at Block Buster and getting to keep one. And if you take the last one back, say they all sucked, and ask for your money back..... you just got a weeks worth of free rentals!! I'm a cheap b@stard, I know. But they are lousy b@stards, too! Gave me $12 in store credit for Mercs 2 only 3 days after it came out!!! B@STARDS!!!!
