Game Swap @ Gamestop

so I just got my copy of RDR in the mail, but the inner part of the disc was cracked, thus making my game unplayable.

I really don't feel like going through the hassle of shipping the game back to the seller, waiting for a refund to my account, then rebuying and waiting again

so has anyone ever bought the same game used from gamestop, switched busted disc for working disc, and then went back to return saying the game was damaged or unreadable?

yea it works, u can also go to another gamestop jus to be sure, do it, gamestop sucks, F them over like they would u

o but its ok for them to pocket all the money from used game sales and give the developers nuthin from it?

Their suppose to inspect the disc before they give it to you. If its cracked, they would notice before giving it to you. If there is no crack when they give it to you, but one when you give it back, it looks like you broke it. Basically whoever you bought it from, cheated you by giving you a broken disc, they may not have done it on purpose, but they are responsible. You should hold them to it instead of trying to pass the buck on to someone else. You would be real pissed off if you tried to take that disc back and they didn't take it.

Also you cant try and justify stuff like that by talking about GS keeping money from developers. Because one, the money goes to the publishers, the developers get their set amount regardless, Two, the publishers are the ones sending people to GS, so they have lost all rights to complain about GS.

so I just got my copy of RDR in the mail, but the inner part of the disc was cracked, thus making my game unplayable.

I really don't feel like going through the hassle of shipping the game back to the seller, waiting for a refund to my account, then rebuying and waiting again

so has anyone ever bought the same game used from gamestop, switched busted disc for working disc, and then went back to return saying the game was damaged or unreadable?

Some people are really beyond help. Take a second to think, if you go and do some injustice to someone else because of some injustice that has been done to you you are saying that you deserved it in the first place.

yea it works, u can also go to another gamestop jus to be sure, do it, gamestop sucks, F them over like they would u

I LOVE BASHING GAMESTOP

Once back in the day I went to buy Morrowind. So I got it and at the counter they lady kept pushing me to buy this warranty for $2, which thankfully I did. Then when I got home it turned out the disc didnt work, so I returned it. The lady said that if I hadnt bought that warranty, she wouldnt have refunded the purchase.

She then put a "NEW" sticker on it and put it right back on the shelf. In the exact same spot.

Its been 5 years and ive only returned once, to rebuy Valkyria Chronicles because I lost my original copy and they were the only ones with copies in stock.

What a joke seriously, how can anyone defend those druids?

Its not just the lady, all my local stores are the same story.

When I tried to return it, she directed me to another store for an exchange since that broken disc was the only copy they had. When i got there the employees were acting like it was my fault for buying a broken disc that they sold to me!

And yet another store tried to sell my cousin a broken PSP.

Cheapskakes, all of them :P

Game stores make enough money as it is. It is okay to exploit stores sometimes, everyone does at some point.

This is why the world is the way it is, because of this self centered attitude

Most Gamestop stores do open the new games and put a sticker on them. Which is the dumbest thing. It basically makes me not want to visit their stores at all. I really don't even want USED games that have stickers all over them, I'd rather buy on ebay. So unless there is some kind of MEGA sale going on I pretty much never think of shopping at Gamestop.

However I've never had a problem buying from them online. I've bought dozens of games from them online. They have some mean sales sometimes (and you can use coupon codes online to even make it better).

Anyway even if Gamestop were the worst company in the world, it's no excuse to try and steal from them. What you are proposing basically makes you a thief. it is smal time fraud, but fraud nonetheless. You need to take your issue up with the person that sold you the broken game.

STICK IT TO THA MAN!!!!! haha

I'm sure they'll inspect the game upon your returning it and wonder about the mysterious crack

STICK IT TO THA MAN!!!!! haha but seriously look into your heart. That's where you'll find the answer you seek.

DoogieSushie

The heart? I'm pretty sure his heart is telling him to screw people over. Listen to your brain is more like it. He at least asked the question so maybe theres hope yet.
