Forums - Gaming Discussion - Today I traded in a game I knew did not work so I could turn around and re-purchase that same game with store credit

Bad and idiotic.

You wasted more time, lost trade in value for other games, and spent more actual cash than just doing the legit replacement offer Nintendo wanted.

I did the same thing with New Super Mario bros U when i first got my Wii U
Mario U i purchased from a flea market for 25$ traded it in to gamestop for 20$.

You are a terrible man.

Back in December I picked up Pikmin 3 from Amazon. Sadly, when I opened up the Wii U in January of this year and put the game in it had some sort of malfunction where it would not go off the title screen. I called up Nintendo eventually and told them the problem. To expedite the process I begged for them to just give me the game as a digital download. They refused, said it was against their policy. So instead they emailed me a code so that I could send the game in and they would replace it. It would only take a week or so.

Well I could not be bothered to do that so, nearly 3 months later I decided on this method. Someone else can take it in to Nintendo when they purchase it used from whatever store it was that I traded it in at.

Now I used that money, plus the peasant change I got for The Conduit and Heathcliff: The fast and the furriest to re-buy Pikmin 3.

Am I a bad person for doing this, or would you do the very same thing? Don't lie! This is the internet, we will never meet you in real life, so you have nothing to hide.

If anything, you're bad for having 'Heathcliff: The Fast and the Furriest'

 

LOL but no I don't think it matters. Odds are no one will buy your copy for a long, long time anyway.

EB Games Australia have awesome return policies so I never have to deal with trading in games.
7 Day full money back returns on new games and 30 days full money back on used games.
I can finish games and return them for all of the munnies =D

Anyway being on topic now, your a dick and I would have done the same thing



You bought Heathcliff?! Well, at least you didn't buy Ninjabread Man. -__-

That sounds like a risky choice. Dont they ask you to sign a paper when you trade in games in the US?

Over here we have to. If something is wrong with them, they can go back to you. Its not a good policy to do such things.

You should have mailed Nintendo. It really isnt any harder than driving to the shop selling the game and getting a new one. Especially if you waited 3 months and had ample opportunity to fix the situation.

I enjoyed the cartoon as a child, and wanted my kids to enjoy it as well. They liked the game and the cartoon. I hated the game. Hence it's trip to the pawnstore place. Trust me though, The Conduit was worse. I do not want to be forced to use Motion control in a FPS game.

Now you're just being crazy. The Conduit demonstrated very well that the wiimote was far better for FPS. It was their logic that Metroid Prime 3 and 3rd party FPS refined their control scheme. Game was meh, but controls were spot on.



See the problem is you traded with a vendor. I trade with people who have games I want and are gullible.
I've traded broken games:
4 times with Kingdom Hearts
3 times with Kingdom Hearts II
2 times with Sonic Adventure 2
1 with Sonic Heroes
1 with Sonic Riders
1 with Shadow of The Colossus
1 with Pokemon Snap
1 with Pokemon Crystal
1 with TLOU
1 with Sonic 06
2 with Super Smash Bros Brawl
and 3 times with Super Smash Bros Melee.

EDIT: Screwed up a couple of COD Ghost copies in a older model 360 by "accidently" knocking them over while running luckily they were red box rentals, no problem
