Yeah, it's been here forever, since before xmas, only reason I preordered the game is that, since if it blows, I can just trade it for a different game :D

yeah i seen this too...u pre-order haze and then u can bring it back in a week right? kinda kool will for sure get them more sales then if they hadnt done it...i mean i personally think this is just a idea to get sales to go through the roof...i mean all the sales for the games say how many they have sold...not how many are now sitting on shelves as second hand games...

Doesn't EB make most of their money with the "used" games they sell?

Not in this case. If they have to sell every used copy of Haze then they will lose about $5 for every supposedly new copy of Haze that is returned and thats if they can sell it. If they can't sell it well I guess it just sits there. Kinda makes me wonder whats in it for Ebgames/gamestop?

As far as I know they don't do any favors for anyone. Most companies treat their customers the best but I don't believe that with ebgames/gamestop. Which makes me very curious as to why they do that with a business partner? I'm sure they get something out of it because I know they would never do anything like that for free just based on how they treat customers.

I think their relying on that the game is going to be time consuming with online and single player and that most people won't return it time... Don't really care about the offer i buy games to say i have them and play them at my pace not to buy them and rush through them so that i get my full money back.

EB Games makes money buy ripping us off. They give you $75 for a PSP and before you even leave the store it's up for sale for $150. That's why I sell everything on eBay.

Don't forget that, up until about 3 or 4 years ago, GameStop (and possibly EB as well; not sure since there weren't any in my area at the time) had a 7 day satisfaction guarantee return policy on ALL games, new or used, so you could purchase ANY game, play it for a week, and then return it for a full refund.

It was a glorified rental service, basically.

I'm 100% getting this game so there's no need for that.
