Man F'n Gamestop!
I hate them. I always say when they give me a "new" game in an open box, "It's not new."
Then they say, "It is new, just opened."
Then I say, "No, to be new, it has to be factory sealed. This game is "mint" not new."
Then they say, "Sorry, this is our last copy."
They haven't said anything in the last year, because I stopped going there.
Gamestop is the worst store on the planet, and I freakin refuse to ever do business with them again, since I heard this news, that they let employees play games for free, and try to pass them off as new. That's freakin bullcrap, and I'm contacting the better business bureau, so I'll find out soon enough if this is a national policy and if I can get anything done to stop this...well I can't call it anything short of a grift, so I'll say "scam."
Also, just FYI, like the early PS2, or any console that has a hover trey instead of a snap-in disc drive, you're not supposed to move the console during play. Just remember that next time you're play testing someones "new" game for them.
