Huh... I've never had something like that happen. I also have never been to Gamestop. Sorry to hear about that.
True 'dat. I go to Electronics Boutique (Recently I've also been going to JB Hi-Fi too.)

Great thing about used games at GameStop, you have... what is it... 5 days I think where you can bring it back for a full refund. No questions asked. I've done this a few times before I discovered the wonders of Game Fly.
It's seven days, but yeah, I've done that a lot and they never get pissy or anything, which makes me think that the GameStop I live near is one of the Jesus GameStops.

Wasn't there a story like this not long ago? Someone bought a used copy of Madden 09 and it contained a blank DVD with some horribly racist slurs written on it in permanent ink?

It is not YOUR responsibility to check games before you buy, it is the RETAILER'S responsibility to ensure you are getting what you paid for and if they fail to ensure you are getting that product, boycott their asses.
If I can remember correctly, it wasn't racist. It was something about the game being redneck crap, or somewhere along those lines.
And I do believe that was at Target. Someone bought it, wrote that, re-wrapped it, and returned it.

If I can remember...

This is why I prefer ebay. Find trustworthy sellers who are selling the game at a good or new condition and you're set. I've boughten 3 games off ebay that way and one seller actually got me a replacement disk when it was damaged in the mail. Try getting that kind of service from some second-rate scam shop.

Well I do agree Gamestop in general does suck, but the problem is that they are still the best option. I do agree with many people here, cheek before you leave. Unlike other people here I only deal with cash. I have yet to see a credit card that look appeasing. Now Gamestop has two things people aren't going to get from a retail store, some of there money back. Sure it isn't a lot, Gamestop knows it, they have you by the balls since you have no other option if you go with cash. There are two options, pawn shops and local game stores(if you're lucky) in which odds are they won't sell games as cheaply as Gamestop. The problem is they can't. Gamestop makes money threw the simple act of people selling games at a low price and selling it for a higher price. A pawn shop does the same thing, but if something doesn't work, screwed be you. Sure Ebay is a good idea, but when put in a situation of getting none of your money back from buying a said product or little, most go with little over none. It sucks, but it is the best option so far. Deal with it, make your own store, or go another route. There is more way then one to skin a cat here, just most are too lazy to do any skinning. Antrafy is the problem, not the Gamestop.

Gamestop can do whatever the fuck they want in most places because they're the only option for buying videogames.

No, There's almost always better options out there.

in Britain we can't... GAME and Game Station (pretty much the British equivalent of Gamestop keep their games behind the counter and only have the cases on display... + the disks and instruction manual are in plastic wrapper when you buy so you can't check it... then again, the wrapper probably prevent any damage to the disk occuring

Yeah especially considering that they only carry the newest stuff now.

I have never had any problems whatsoever with Gamestop. Everything I have ever purchased from them has worked flawlessly.

No, as a matter of fact there isn't where I live and in many area also. The closest local game store near me is about an hour drive. If it was closer to me, I'd go there instead.

There isn't a local gamestore near me, but I'd rather go there than go to Gamestop.
[Edit]
Sorry about the double post

OH MY GOD OF WAR! I GOT FUCKED!
i bought God of War Chains of Olympus used from gamestop yesterday and when i open it today, ITS A FAKE! the disc part of the UMD looks legit but scratched to hell! the plastic part of the UMD is all clear plastic, its too thin, and looks like some knock off made in china crap! AND IT WONT EVEN PLAY ON MY PSP! Gamestop sold me a fake! im going in first thing tomorow! OH WAIT! the guy who sold it to me! his name is on the reciept! FIRED! im going for blood! (or a legit copy of the game)
This isnt the first time they have sold me a game that doesnt work or is scratched or has coffee stains on it. and they usually give me a hard time or argue with me to get my money back and have to call in the manager.
this sux!
so make sure you check the game BEFORE you pay for it.

This happen to anyone else?
That's what you get or buying at Gamestop. There's some vlogger whose name I can't remember (Something like Zero Originality) who works at Gamestop and explains in his videos how much they rip people off there.
