You can argue whether its stealing or not but the bottom line is the companies return policy encourages such behavior. Most people have an idea if a game will be good or not based on demo's, reviews, video's, screenshots, etc. What is the point of their return policy?
not all consumers visit gaming sites. i REALLY hope the TC just doesnt realize how their policy works and the store doesnt allow for it to be returned if opened.You can argue whether its stealing or not but the bottom line is the companies return policy encourages such behavior.

I thought you could not return open software, where are you buying the game from TC?Solid_TangoIf you buy used games from GameStop, they have a 7 day return policy in which you can get all of your money back. I use that deal a lot.
GameStop employees can essentially do the same thing. TC has figured out a way to beat the system to some extent, and it's a victimless crime...why try to discourage him?
theres so many things i wanna say right now to these people that id get suspended for....ugh....starwarsjunkyI buy games that I want. If I just want to spend a little time with a game or if I know I will beat it quickly, I will buy it used, beat it, and return in quickly. Then I pick another game and repeat. I still buy a lot of games too though.
because its dishonest. just because you can get away with it doesnt mean its right...GameStop employees can essentially do the same thing. TC has figured out a way to beat the system to some extent, and it's a victimless crime...why try to discourage him?

[QUOTE="iLiveBy2words"]because its dishonest. just because you can get away with it doesnt mean its right...It is their damn policy... Its a feature of GameStop that I love to utilize.

It's all about the $$$. I will save any chance I get. And if I do this with 10 games, thats still only $60 that I spent. Totally worth it.

I AM NOT STEALING ANYTHING! Why are you acting as if this is some kind of crime? It is completely legal and people do it. And like I said, I buy plenty of games also. So you are saying that you throw out $60 bones at every game you want to play? Not everyone has a lot money and people will save if they can, including me.

You can beat the game in a couple of days without going too crazy. It's fairly lengthy for a SP game these days, but you can still rush it in a couple of days. A week is plenty of time to do absolutely everything. The challenge modes are the reason to buy the game (I bought mine for $40 new so that was incentive as well).
theres so many things i wanna say right now to these people that id get suspended for....ugh....starwarsjunkyWhy? It's the same as GameStop selling used games. Either way the dev doesn't see any money from it. It's an accepted practice and you probably don't flame everyone that shops there. Since he is buying a used game anyway, the only party that sees any money from that is Gamestop. If you want to be mad, be mad at them. Personally I buy all my games, but in this case I don't see what the big deal is. If a game can be completed to total satisfaction in 7 days, it wasn't worth $70 to begin with.
Can the moral brigade please slide on. You don't know him yet you're calling him a pirate and a thief:roll:.
OT: Yes, you could always play on easy if you're still a bit wary.
Yeah it hurts my feelings :cry:Can the moral brigade please slide on. You don't know him yet you're calling him a pirate and a thief:roll:.

Wow, the moral police came out swinging here, eh?? Returning less-than week-old used gamestop games is STEALING??
As a matter of fact, at the GS near me, they almost encourage this. Its not "figuring out how to beat the system"-the employees told me about it!! They said "You can return any used game for full value if you 1) didnt like it 2)it was the wrong thing or 3) YOU BEAT THE GAME AND ARE DONE WITH IT!!!
This does not steal from devs because they already got paid full price for their unit. They dont (and shouldnt) have any right to that unit past that point.
So, who's geting ripped off? The GS that openly advocates for this, as they know their customers are not all rich??
Man you forum posters are freaking lame. Leave the guy alone and go eat your moms leg fat or something.
There are hardly any games out there that can't be completed in 7 days depending how much you play. A lot of times, the shortest of games (Heavenly Sword) can last me a good week or two. I think some people just spend too much time in front of the TV.the way i see it is that if i am able to finish a game in 7 days then it is not worth my full money
