Yes thats right, all of you EB fans out there your little precious store is nothing but filth. They have a really -blam!- policy. I bought two games, brand new. So i didn't like them and i took them back the next day and they wouldn't exept them. They were going to give me only $50 when i just bought them the day before for $104?! Rhino's rules EB, i don';t even see how they stay in business.

they wouldn't give me full credit for BRANDNEW games that i got from them the day before. Rhino's gives you a week and you can even trade it in two times if you need to.

Ignore these four words.

Just don't buy crappy games. Before you buy a game rent it or better yet, mooch off a friend with money to waste.,

Randomlyissued, why did you post just to post 2 words? If you obviously don't care then why did you click on this thread? If anyone didn't care then they don't post. Have a nice day. And happy early New Year.

im with you! i purchased 3 controllers from eb, get this... ALL BROKEN!!!

the A button wouldnt work on one
the start buton wouldnt work on another and the dpad was constantly pushing up
and another wouldnt even respond to the xbox.

i brought it in and the stupid clerk wouldnt let me return them!! they offered to send them off to a repair place that would take like 6 weeks, not even exchange them....

Stores aren't required to take back goods that are no longer required. The situation is worse with games because when a game's packaging is unsealed then it essentially becomes second-hand. It sucks for you, but hopefully will teach you a lesson in playing the demo first.

As for broken goods, they have to take those back, and I believe they have to give you a full refund if you request one. If you don't then they are within their rights to send it back to be repaired.

i dont know what their policy is there, but where i come from EB games lets you trade in a new game within two weeks (14 days) for another brand new game as long as you have the receipt that proves you bought it there.

When I bought XBox Live the Subscription Code was invalid, so they let me bring it back and get another.

Personally, I like Gamestop. Maybe it's just the stores I've been to, but Gamestop employees are much nicer and more helpful than EB Games guys. I used to love Electronics Boutique(yeah, that's what it used to be called), but now that Gamestop moved into my mall, I only go there. The employees at Gamestop always seem to know what they're doing and have more information on what they're selling. I like Gamestop much more than EB Games.
