Dealing with EB games is like being in a relationship.

You have your ups and downs. I like buying my games from EB games because I can trade in the old crap I have, even if I know most of the time I' m being ripped off. Here' s my rant, recently I bought a " new" game (at least it was priced like a new game). But the assholes opened the box! not only was it opened but they put a big price sticker on it that' s ugly and hard to remove. They know it pisses off the customers too with the way he was looking at me. If it wasn' t for the fact that I already paid for it before I noticed I would have told him to forget about it. I don' t pay full price for used games.

I know why they do it too. The fudge packers want to re-sell the returns. Too many people are returning games within a few days. So instead of losing money by selling it used, EBgames re-sells to innocent customers at full price! They' re fucking sneaky with it too. They pull the game off the shelf at a speed normally reserved for ninjas, and put the cursive stickers on it under the table so you can' t see it. Meanwhile you' re accepting purchase on the debit machine. The second you see the word " approved" the clerk shows you the used game you just bought. " Approved" , that must be what our asses think right before we get fucked on those deals.

So if you guys ever buy a " new" game at EB games ask them if its factory sealed before you buy it. This is an evil policy they have, it makes my blood boil.

Actually, it probably wasn' t a return. It was most likely one of the store-clerks copies. The clerks can test it for four days, send it back, & re-package it as new.


Pretty F***** up huh?


About the sticker thing, I' ve noticed that too. If you' re buying new, go to Gamestop. It' s the same company now, so all your store cred & returns will be the same, but they use a different sticker for all their games. It comes off way easier than the flimsy paper ones EB uses.

Yeah I want to become a dictator. I would make paper stickers the highest crime, punishible by death. If thet' re going to fuck around with my game the least they can do is use a plastic sticker...assholes.
