Have you ever bought a game that was unfathomably horrible that you returned it to the store, told them it was defective, got a new, sealed copy and returned that for a refund?

I have.  I bought NHL 2k8 last year before 08 came out for the PS2 and it was such garbage.  I've also bought replacement copies of games that for some reason or another stopped working, only to return the broken one as defective.

I recently had my BRAND NEW 360 controller that CAME with my BRAND NEW 360 cause me grief so I bought another and returned the gimped one, mainly because the retailer wanted the ENTIRE system AND my memory card with all my saves to replace the controller.

The bonus of this was I called MS to find out what they could do for me and they wanted me to pay for shipping for the replacement so I said no, but they ended up sending me a new controller anyways, so I got a free controller out of this. :o

Anyone else do this? :P

TMNT and Rampage world destruction were like $20 each, so I bought them. I finished TMNT in like 3 days, and I just hated Rampage. I went back to the store, hid any other copies of the games left, and then said it didn't work. I got store credit for it, which was all right.

I got an XBox (not 360) and a graphics card for free because the people checking me out were morons.

For the graphics card, it was a cheap little $99 one (didn't feel like spending A LOT of money, now I wish I had since I got it for free) and some various cables. The cashier just forgot to ring that one up and it was super obvious about $99 was missing too. I felt a little bad about that one but Circuit City has screwed me over in the past plenty of times so it equaled out.

And before you call me a jerk, I even asked the cashier if that was it but she was too busy trying to sell me an AOL account to notice she fucked up so her own fault.

For the XBox, I decided I was going to buy an XBox, two games, the really nice monster cables, and an extra controller or two. The Best Buy cashier rung me up, gave me the total and it was something really expensive. I know I was going to be spending a lot so I didn't pay a lot of attention to the total. When I got home and started settings things up my room mate asked me how much it all cost.

I tell him (I forget now, it's been a while) and we both kind of give each other funny looks because something definitely wasn't right about that-- about $250 was missing there. I dig out my receipt and they had completely forgot to scan the XBox.

Haven't had any luck but I'd love to scam gamestop

I take the fifth on this.

I once got an extra EVGA Nforce Mother board for free.

When i was building my computer 3-4 years ago, a HDD didn't work so I RMA'd it.
The HDD and motherboard was shipped together so they sent back a new mobo and HDD in return even though I never said anything about the mobo breaking. I wouldn't really say it was scamming them but I still got a $125 mobo for free.
