I want to buy a copy of Valkyrie Profile for the PSP, and there's like five copies within five miles of my house at all of the EB's in my area, which is cool. But they where all loose, which is uncool.
The clerk said that if I take a game with a generic case to any Gamestop that has the game with the instructions and box, granted it is the same game they'd be able to swap without paying a cent. So is that a real policy, or are they BSing me?
Yeah right. You should go back and punch that guy in the beets.
Well, seeing I have to fill the automobile I am borrowing tommorow up with gas, and pay sales tax I decided to buy it on eBay for ten bucks more... the extra ten bucks would have gone into the gas and sales tax. So it was a rather easy decision.
Still, go punch that guy square in the beets. He's got it coming.
AD will know.
maybe they would exchange it if you BOUGHT IT at Gamestop and went "aw crap, I just bought this! can I trade it for the CIB one?" and had a receipt and everything. They don't really care because they charge the same whether its mint or disc only.
Punch him in the beets, then make him look at a picture of Sarah Jessica Parkers face.
That'll teach him to lie!
I so hate Gamestop, but at the same time I like it because they sell some good used PS2 games in complete form for cheap. Sometimes even cheaper than ebay.
I would say he was just trying to get you out of the store.
Yea its legit. Its kinda of an obscure policy and if you get a real jerk off/idiot working at the time they might not like it but if you bring in the game with the generic case (Keep the gamestop price stickers on it just for the hell of it), your receipt, and tell them your plight and that ______ at the other GameStop told you it was doable then you can get it done.
I think its one of their real collector-friendly rules, with the other being that their used "OMG LIMITED EDITION TIN CASE 4 BONUS DISC" games go for the same used price as the regular versions.
Good thing I never shop at Gamestop.
Well, I got Metal Gear Acid the first one today for a pittance and in mint condition so I cant complain.
I did see the four copies that where incomplete...
