I'm not so good with advice...Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Went to a mall today, stopped in at a Gamestop. Picked up a new copy of Fifa 13. The guy asked if i wanted a pre-owned copy, i said no. I get home, open my game and see that the disk is not only scratched, but slightly cracked in the middle. My xbox wont even read it as being there.

This will be the last time i shop there. Can i return the game to another Gamestop location closer to my home? will i get a refund or a replacement? I paid for a new copy but got a used one so i hope i dont get screwed on the return policy.

Wouldn't you have noticed the lack of plastic wrapping and stickers? Hopefully you got the three dollar warrantee if not your most likely out of luck.

  • 12.30.2012 8:32 PM PDT

Just go back and tell the guy.

Good, they saved you out of playing a rehash and being screwed over by a different company. Seriously, Fifa 2013 is a literal copy of Fifa 2012

There was plastic wrap on it and the sticker said New. They were closing so i was being rushed and the guy, first time ever, didnt ask about the warranty.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

What's wrong with buying games from Walmart? Gsus.

What doesn't kill you, only makes you stranger

Disc cases can destroy discs. Sorry to disappoint, but you're not part of a scheme by Gamestop bred purely to destroy you.

The scratches on the disk look like someone took a knife to it.

Do I really need a signature?

Yeah, that's why every time I go to Game Stop I get that warranty.

  • 12.30.2012 8:38 PM PDT

Always but new games from best buy or Walmart. Always buy used games online.

So yeah don't buy from GameStop.

  • 12.30.2012 8:39 PM PDT

If its that bad take it back to the same branch, they should accept if you tell them reasonably and don't flip out.

Just take it to a local place that repairs discs. They're generally pretty cheap and effective.

When I first got my 360 and Halo 3, I put it up vertically, then decided to switch to horizontal while the game was running. Ran a huge scratch a good 1/8 inch deep in a full circle around the disc. Took it to the local store, put it in their machine, then it worked like a dream, until my dad did the exact same thing. Went back in, put it back in the machine, worked like a dream.

Yeah, those are very effective. One time when Halo Reach first came out my friend did that with his Xbox. I put it in the machine and it was fine.

Here's a thought. Take it back...

They can exchange a defective disc if it's new.

It's not like this hasn't happened before. The packing machines can cause damage to the disc.

It's not Gamestop's fault. All stores have this happen to them.

Go there and show them the receipt and they should exchange it. Stop being ridiculous. Gamestop is not out to get you personally.

If you're going to try to fix my posts, do it right. =)

OT: Forgot, you only have 7 days on that defective exchange and you NEED the receipt.

Keep your receipt. Jeeze, from a previous employee's perspective; most of you people are idiots when you walk into the store.

Oh you like video games too? You think you can do my job? Albeit easy, you'd be surprised at how many idiots have been hired. If the retail stores weren't flooded with similar minded people like yourself, then these problems wouldn't exist to begin with.

I stopped going there for this very reason. Now I buy at Target and Best Buy simply because I know I will get what I pay for.

  • 12.30.2012 9:10 PM PDT

From now on OP, just go to wal-mart or best buy. Gamestop isn't very good. Granted they have good pre-order bonuses (generally), they aren't very user friendly. Or at least that's what I've found.
