[General Discussion] Gamestop and gutted games

I mean, I could understand if it's the last copy. Sure it's gutted, but you need ONE copy out there. I don't mind paying full price, just as long as the CD isn't messed up or anything.

As long as it looks new, it's fine with me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Which reminds me...

I was at EB Games one time, buying a copy of Dark Cloud 2. I saw they had it used and I was perfectly fine with that. So I go and buy the game and frantically run home, literally peeing in my pants just to play.

It was at that moment I realized, "Holy shit. This is a Dark Cloud 2 Demo Disk." Yes, a fucking demo disk. So I return the next day to find the same employee who sold me the game working there. I explain what happened and he was baffled by the mistake also (The demo disk and the actual game cover almost look completely similar). He happily refunded my money and I moved on to another Gamestop in that mall (There are three. <_< It used to be 1 Gamestop, 2 EBs. Now it's 2 Gamestops, 1 EB). I buy another used copy from there, and what the fuck do you know, the CD freezes when I hit the start menu. Being frustrated with my whole situation, I return the game at that Gamestop and look around. Lucky for me, they had a new copy.

At that point, I didn't care if I had to pay $25 for a new copy. I wanted to play Dark Cloud 2, and I wanted to play it NOW.

I finally have a decent copy and it works... I just have to get around to completing it. <_<

Even after all the crappy service from Gamestop and EB, I continue to go there and buy games. Why?

All the store locations are close to me and they usually hold some games I can't find anywhere else. I don't have the luxury of ordering games online like some of you. >_<

There's nowhere I can't reach.
