no it said new on the case i gave it to the guy and started talking to a friend then he gave me a bag.then when i got home i looked at it and the game was all scratched up(wouldnt even work).i then took it back and he said that i swapped games.oh and i had a edge card so i got a discount on used games

Why would the game say "New" on the case at all? What game was this? Gamestop doesn't put a "new" label on any of their games as far as I know. Also was this game shrink wrapped at all? If it was then the culcprit is actually the manufacturer of the game, not Gamestop.

 

 

 

it was on the shelf and it had new game right under the barcode(it was a white sticker).it was xbox live arcade unplugged(i cant get live,and wanted geometry wars).since it was on the shlf so it didnt have the wrap and when they got the game.i was talking to my friend and not paying attention.but when i got home it didnt have the shrink wrap and it was in a white cd case in the case instead of where it was supposed to be

Hmmm...I can see how that's annoying from both ends. It's just things I don't do out of coutesy like bringing empty boxes up to the register instead of just naming the game I wanted to the cashier and sparing them unnecessary work. It also would have forced a notification from them that they had to sell you the store copy, since they would have grabbed it from the wall.

Frankly, it's hard to take a side because on one hand, maybe you're right and they didn't say anything to you. On the other hand you already said you weren't looking, werent paying attention during your purchase, and were in a conversation with a friend at the time, so maybe you were notified and you didn't hear it.

I'm not going to totally justify what happened, because I wasn't there, but it seems like you were a pretty oblivious shopper that day, and that's just something that will naturally lead you to trouble in general in many stores.

 

 

 

i was fine with getting a used copy but a few things annoyed me

1.i have a edge card and i payed with store credit yet they still charged me full price(it said new game on the receipt)

2.it didnt work

3.i took it back later the same day and they said that i swapped the games and told me to leave(that pissed me off)
