But what you should do TC, is first of all is create a new account for your console and delete the Alexander account. That way you should at least take some of that pissed-off attitude out of you.Flaming_Ape
That is stupid - he PAID money for a BRAND NEW 360, not a USED one. You need to leave the fourms if you can not side with him on this.

sue em!   You could win a few million, no joke.   That's why they changed their 7 day no questions asked return policy a few years ago.  They sold a used game as new and got sued for a few million and had to pay up!

Your lying. your a fat nerd with no life and you like to create dillusons and fantasys for yourself and crate bs fiction for the internet. Why? I have no idea. Brand new console, you took some of your games put them in there and tore the pakage. Your not calling eb games or a lawyer. Your a looser and pathetic.Comedyco

well i would never buy my system at eb games because you don't know what they might do to it. I will always buy my system only at best buy or Future Shop(Canada only) because if there's some wrong with my system i would bring it back to them and they will exchange it for me no problem. bigger store are committed to there policy's and if theres something wrong with the service at a big store like best buy the big boss will give them **** for not doing there job right.493722

Hahaha dude futureshop / bestbuy (owned by same people)

FS is known for screwing people over for bogus B.S. warranty issues. I mean many news programs did stories on them like CTV. I live in Canada too and bought my 360 at FS and laughed at the employees face when he told me to buy a warranty from those guys. I even know people they screwed over. They are not a good soloution to EB IMO

Number One: Maybe it's a preowned console.

Number Two: It works.

Number Three: Get over it.

SPHYNXA



You're right. Just cause someone pays for a brand new console, and gets a refurbished or pre-owned one with someone else's data still stored on the HDD... as long as it works you should just stay quiet and play it. [/sarcasm]

That's absolutely insane. Do you know how the consumer industry works? When you purchase a brand new product, it should be just that; brand new. But when a company knowingly tries to give you a pre-used item just for the sake of getting rid of stock (not saying that's definitly what is happening in this scenario), then there is something seriously wrong with their practices.

Yeah I laughed when I read his post. I dont think he even read the TC's post.

OFcourse it's a pre-owned that's why he's upset geez!! I guess people like that don't mind getting ripped off. Personally I don't take sh*t from companies, I get on the phone and get my way that's all there's is to it.

I was promised a $75 credit from Bell in Canada once for being with them for so long. I switched companies but still demanded the money cause they promised it to me for being with them for like 20 years or so back when my dad had them and up till now and they tried to take it back, I argued on the phone one day, next day argued with the manager and a hard asz woman from Customer Service and she caved in and said fine you'll get the credit!! 

If someone tries to screw me over and I'm in the right I don't sit there and "get over it" like that guy most do I get what I want period cause I'm in the right.

I have to say that Manager bring up a kid and his parents, that made me laugh. What the hell does that have to do with him and him buying a new console. LOL And then he tells him the 360 sucks basically. just all making it more likely that he's a shady guy and that those guys in that specific EBgames are screwing people over maybe.

And I think MS would want to know that this guy is telling people not to get the 360. I think EBgames would want to know that to. He should be fired IMO.

Hahahah PWNED!!! And really, don't toss words like "fraud" around unless you really know what they mean legally.jmartinez1983
It actually is fraud to be selling something that is used and advertising it as a new product. Fraud defined: fraud /frɔd/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[frawd] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage. 2. a particular instance of such deceit or trickery: mail fraud; election frauds. 3. any deception, trickery, or humbug: That diet book is a fraud and a waste of time. 4. a person who makes deceitful pretenses; sham; poseur So yes if EB games KNEW this product was clearly used and then marketing it as new then it is fraud.

[QUOTE="Jeff_Boldt"][QUOTE="Bigfoot_Slayer"][QUOTE="SPHYNXA"][QUOTE="Bigfoot_Slayer"]

[QUOTE="Jeff_Boldt"]man, I love how the 10 year olds love to jump in here and dole out advice like they're life experts "OMFG KILL DEM ALLLLLL!"

Stores have employee's and managers, employee's are under-experianced younger guys who don't know exactly what they're doing, in some cases they're their for the sole purpose of picking up a pay-cheque and they couldn't care less about what's going on in there store. Call the store in the morning and talk to the manager, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to not only compensate you, but go well above and beyond what he's required to do in order to see to it that you're satisfied.

Did the box explode and rip your hands off? no? Was there anthrax all over it? no? Was the box completely empty? no? Then relax, it's all completely fixable.

And for the people in this topic telling him to be super pissed, grow up, seriously. I would add you all to my super-douche list, but there's just not room. SPHYNXA

Yeah I completely agree...

Just don't assume things... Call in the morning. talk to the manager... IF AND WHEN he doesn't do something, then you go further... But if he's happy to help you, compensate you, and help you through your troubles, then no pain. No use in being a jerk to them, if all the manager did was train his employees.

Remember, if it was anyones fault, it was probably the employees fault, not the manager. Why would the manager want to screw over his own business? Employees, like Jeff said, don't really care usually.



I disagree. You're pretty nieve Jeff_Boldt to say that "employee's are under-experianced younger guys who don't know exactly what they're doing". To say that all employee's (you do realize that an employee is anyone who works under the command, or is employed, by another individual... don't you?) are under-experience younger guys who "don't know exactly what they're doing" is pretty immature. Are you sue that you're not one of those "10 year olds [that] love to jump in here and dole out advice like they're life experts" that you talk about?

If not, you could have fooled me.

The AVERAGE of employees at hourly wages would be high school or college students trying to get a job, or... naturally, dropouts... and such. So, usually at GAMESTOP or EB GAMES, you will USUALLY find teenagers working, or maybe 20 year olds just because they are the MAJORITY of people working there... The reason why, is that the MAJORITY of people that play games, are that age.. And EB GAMES and GAMESTOP don't want to hire people (usually) who aren't experiences in that sort of thing.

And most of the time, whether you are 15, 25, or 49 and working for an employer, you USUALLY don't really care about the store, or the manager... The reason is is because no matter what you do, you do not see most of anything if the store does well, or really bad. You USUALLY get paid the same whether or not the store is making more and more profit... Unless the company bribes all of their employees with some nice shinny object for an increase in production or business.

We are of course going by averages and majorities here... There will ALWAYS be exceptions no matter what you are talking about... But the bottom line, and the most important thing is... That usually it is not the manager or businesses fault... Usually if there is an open package, bad service, or something of that nature... It usually is because of the employees, NOT the management. There is no point in freaking out at the manager, and ruining his day, and sueing his store, and ruining his life... And making him suffere for what one of his dumbass employees did.

It's always better to not all of a sudden assume that that is what EB games in general wanted to do, and it was a terrible thing.

If he calls, and the manager basically tells him to screw off, THEN I would agree to take legal action, or further... But, if they are nice, try and fix the problem, and compensate for his trouble... There is no reason to make a bigger deal out of it.



Bigfoot, thanks's for the support bro.

Sphynxa, That was a pretty dumb response, you knew darn well what I was trying to say, it was clearly outlined and you tried to shaft me on semantics. Not only that but you misrepresented what I said entirely, you even called me nieve... wtf is nieve by the way? Is it something like "naive"? because if you're going to call me a name of some sort I'd really appreciate you spelling it properly. Maybe next time when you want to critique someone's advice you should try having something worth saying.



You have got to be kidding me. I misrepresented what you said? Did you not say "man, I love how the 10 year olds love to jump in here and dole out advice like they're life experts "OMFG KILL DEM ALLLLLL!"?

Did you not say "employee's are under-experianced younger guys who don't know exactly what they're doing, in some cases they're their for the sole purpose of picking up a pay-cheque and they couldn't care less about what's going on in there store"?

Those are direct quotes my friend, so don't pull that garbage. And to say that my comment is completely unjustified and wrong because I spelt the word "naive" wrong? Is that how things work for you, in that if someone spells a word wrong than their arguement is completely false, Mr. "Under-Experianced"[sic]?

So don't criticize me on going against the opinion that all employee's are "under-experianced younger guys who don't know exactly what they're doing".

He also spelled "vehemently" wrong. 

And it's in his sig.

And it sounds like the guy knew it was cause he talked about some kid and his parents. How would he know who it was just based on the Username the kid created unless his name was Alexander too. But either way I think they knew about it and were trying to make a quick buck and screw the TC. I mean the Manager alone sounds fishy to me and should be fired.

can i just say....how comes the TC hasnt really replied to this thread? Are we being taken for a ride here because all we have is 8 pages of pure assumption, of extreme measures and noone really knows what actaully happened here. DId the TC point at a box and say "ill have that one" and not actually ask for a NEW one?? Lol-- the thing could have said "pre(owned)" on it for all we know but he didnt see it? If its legitimate what he is saying though then i apologise for the outburst....just something to ponder though before you start jumping on bandwagons.

I think maybe Jeff and Bigfoot are the employee and Manager the TC dealt with lol

I mean the manager spoke with him on the phone and told about a kid and some story, who cares where it came from and the story. That's something someone does when they are in the wrong, try to bring up a story like that to convince him to change his mind and just give in. Then the manager says the 360 is bad etc...

And who cares who works at what store, Whatever they do the manager is responsible for them and the company for the manager. The TC has every right to go ahead and do whatever wants whether it is demand for some discount and free stuff, report the manager and store or take them to court. He has the right to.

I mean the manager should have been professional on the phone and apoligized to the guy instead he said what he said. And after that conversation I couldn't care less about the manager. Maybe he has problems at home but you leave that stuff at home you don't take it to work and let it affect other people.

Funny at the few people in here defending EB and the Manager, don't get it

EB and Gamestop are the same company for those who are reading this forum and didn't know that. Ok well I had some what of a similiar problem but with Gamestop I bought a PS3 and they have an in store warranty that you can purchase now I asked if I had a certain amount of time to have that added and they told me 7 days from the purchase so I was like ok cool I dont have the cash on me now I will be back though and get it. Now I got my PS3 back home and it had a problem so I took it back a couple days later when I had a chance. When I got there I was going to add the warranty they told me no I have to do it on day of purchase. Of course I was all nice and asked why they lied they told me they never said that. anyways I ended up blowing up on there ass and refuse to shop at either EB or Gamestop both evil corps.

Are we being taken for a ride here because all we have is 8 pages of pure assumption, of extreme measures and noone really knows what actaully happened here. DId the TC point at a box and say "ill have that one" and not actually ask for a NEW one?? Lol-- the thing could have said "pre(owned)" on it for all we know but he didnt see it? If its legitimate what he is saying though then i apologise for the outburst....just something to ponder though before you start jumping on bandwagons.anandram
He's reponded half a dozen times or more.

[QUOTE="Demonicstriker"]EB and Gamestop are the same company for those who are reading this forum and didn't know that. Ok well I had some what of a similiar problem but with Gamestop I bought a PS3 and they have an in store warranty that you can purchase now I asked if I had a certain amount of time to have that added and they told me 7 days from the purchase so I was like ok cool I dont have the cash on me now I will be back though and get it. Now I got my PS3 back home and it had a problem so I took it back a couple days later when I had a chance. When I got there I was going to add the warranty they told me no I have to do it on day of purchase. Of course I was all nice and asked why they lied they told me they never said that. anyways I ended up blowing up on there ass and refuse to shop at either EB or Gamestop both evil corps.kcpp2b

Doesn't every store have like atleast a 30 day warranty incase it breaks when you take it home? 

I think so

I like the topic name, actually i can belive anything when you say the store is eb i have been screwed there a couple times before, not really scamed but buing new games that are already opend and asking about and they say its just how they do it and beliving them big mistake,new means new not opend and repackaged,  buying used games and the clerk saying he grabed me the good one, then bringing it home and its scrached all to hell.  I guess its my own falt for not looking at it and just taking them for there word tho. 

i just stoped shoping there Ill never shop in person at a store again, online EB  have done well by me everything i buy new used all is in good shape and exactly how they said it wouuld be

 

I  just think in the stores its just people geting a paycheck not really caring its to bad really but everyone should just stop shoping there if they dont like it like me and a few of the people that posted in this topic

Yeah cause I know with EB I've had games break and went back the next day saying it was crap and they replaced it .

You should have been able to get a new one cause it was even less then 7 days.

And I do think whoever said 7 days was lying to you cause I was told before you have to buy the warranty when you buy it. So for some reason you were screwed over. So did you do anything or just let it slide like it sounds. I would have complained my ass off and went to management and make a big fuss cause it's not your fault.

Rule = When you are in the right, don't settle for anything less that what you deserve

When I was still living in san diego, ALL the local Ebgames and Gamestops opened thier games and removed them to behind the counter and placed the boxes on the shelves. I complained about them doing this as they are now officially used according to thier policy. Needless to say every time I brought that up they would have a different excuse for it everytime. I quit buying from them and trading in. I only buy over the net or places such as Best buy and Wal mart where they have repitable return\trade procedures.

I just was in contact with the local store manager and he started giving me an excuse that the system was knowingly repackaged and sold as new because the previous owner was a kid who bought it with his 1st pay cheque and once his parents saw how much money he spent, made him return it. Ok so this is probably true but he's tryign to justify me paying full price for something that has been opened and used. The manager doesn't realize you're not supposed to sell something used for a new price, especially if you HIDE this from the customer. Anyway he said he has no authorization to issue discounts nor did he offer me one but I have to take this up with EB customer service and report the store. I'll let you know what happened.

PS: The manager said he would not even recommend I buy a 360 because there are too many hardware problems. SO I guess its also true about these guys dissing the systems. Doesn't make much sense when you're trying to move product.CaptainCrazy

A monkey could run that store. Its a job that doesnt require any skill at anything except showing up on time. All the local Ebgames and Gamestops were i used to live hired some pretty fine young ladies. You probably didnt get scammed but were probably the result of some lazy employee who didnt want to deal with the product. Also, if they knew that some kid had to return the system cause his parents told him to then they knew they sold it to you. They cant complain about hardware issues with 360 to you cause thats not why your calling. Dont let those sneaky bast*rds drag the conversation off course. Thats how they get you.

Number One: Maybe it's a preowned console.

Number Two: It works.

Number Three: Get over it.

Number One: He paid full price for a new console. Number Two: He paid full price for a new console. Number Three: Get over it? You like to get rammed up the ass by GameStop don'tcha?

Hahahah PWNED!!! And really, don't toss words like "fraud" around unless you really know what they mean legally.jmartinez1983

:roll: And really, don't toss around commands when you clearly don't comprehend the word yourself.

 

Deliberately selling something as new, but was previously owned IS fraud. Nice try though.

well I know how you feel, kinda. I didnt buy a used console for new, but I did buy a game.

I bought ghost recon about 3 years ago. They charged me the NEW price for a USED game. not only was it used, but it was in a package that read "demo, not for resale." So not only did they sell me a used game but they didnt even give me "official" packaging.

At the time I let it go since it was the 2nd time I bought the game. (bought it for system link purposes), so I didnt care, just as long as I could play, cuz I already had a "real" brandnew copy of the game. , but now after hearing this I wish I did something.

Not for nothin dude but, people sue neighbors because their dog pooped on their lawn. Be a dick about it and try to take legal action, call your lawyer, or ask around for someone who has/knows a lawyer who will give you free advice as to whether or not its a case that can be won. If i drove 150 miles with a tampered system, i would raise hell, and want much more then 20 bucks off the price, or an exchange.

You don't call cops for this, they may arrest you for doing so:p

I think a lot of people who are defending the Manager and EB are missing something things and should read his post above again with what the manager said.

1. Manager said they knowingly repackagedand sold it as new because some kid returned it whatever, I mean superman could have returned it doesn't change the fact that it is USED!! And he paid for a new one. So right here he just admited to fraud because they knowingly sold a used item = Fraud

2.The manager says he has no authorization for a discount and to make things right but he does have authorization to sell used stuff as new though I guess ll

3. He doesn't reccommend the 360 and talks bad about the product after the guy already bought it. I mean I think people who sell products shouldn't be talking bad about the product although what he's say is true the thing is he already bought one so why tell that to him now other then trying to make him bring back the 360 and buy something else so this problem goes away.

So I mean this case is in fact fraud and the manager admitted to it. Simple as that. And the whole thing about the kid and using that like that is a good enough reason for say ok, it's ok you ripped me off since a kid bought it for his b-day and parents made him return it..no biggie

I hope he's fired and whoever did that it is fired and the TC would be crazy if he didn't demand free stuff on top of a console replacement for a new one

I'd take it to the media too. If someone did that to me I would not only demand that they were fired for their incompetence, but I would demand free stuff like games, discounts, XBL. I would also attempt to sue EB to get some compensation for wasting my time.
