I went and bought a new copy of Madden today and it just isn't for me. I have the reciept. I was wondering if I took it bac tomorrow or the next day if I could just get my $60 back in cash? I just want the money and am gonna wait for Halo 3. CanI get cash back or can I only exchange it for another game?

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out.

If it was a brand new game that you opened, then you can't return it... just trade it in for like 40-50% of the original cost (so around $30)

They won't let you return it for cash. I think they only do in-store credit for the trade-in-value.

If the game is unopened, with the wraping still on it, you can return it.

The game was never sealed. He went and got the game in a drawer that was in a sleeve and put it in a case. It has a new sticker on the front but was never wrapped.

Try putting the game back in the original state you got it in, and see if they'll take it.

Your still stuck buddy, I work at Gamespot and I can tell you for sure that they won't take a new game back for refund unless it is defective... and in that case you can only get a replacement of the same game.

Perfect. Get a trade-in for the same game (with wrapping), come back during the night shift, and return it with the receipt for your cash back. They can't tell you no, as long as it's wrapped they have to take it back no questions. All of my friends work at Gamestop, trust me.

hey at least they're not radioshack which orders 5 copies of a hyped game and then sells it for $10 to $15 dollars more than the original price then takes a long ass time to restock the games, maybe because it's in alaska...

Not even Wally World will give cash back for opened games. You can thank modding and piracy for that.

you can only get cash back if you paid with cash the first time and get full price back if and only you did not open it (plastic wrap still on the box)
