You know, there is zero reason for ANY games to be gutted, even display games. If some hourly employee is handing me a supposedly "new" game where they take some random disc out of a drawer and put it into a random case, then they could just as easily have bought the game disc and case from a Hong Kong bootlegger for $1, meanwhile keeping the original real copy for themselves, planning on pocketing the difference.
Still, it would be easy to do the same thing without "gutting" as it's easier to shrink-wrap things now than it used to be. I buy some games that make me wonder if they haven't been re-shrink-wrapped. However, it just gives me a bad feeling if I am buying something new that has been opened, and I'm not the one who opened it. Might as well use Ebay at that point...
My experience with Gamestop has generally been good, except that I think the stand-alone stores have 100% better staff than the stores inside malls. It seems like malls lower the IQ of the general population by a good 50 points right off the bat...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
