The seconds you wasted because of their mistake can never be replaced, as people are paid by the hour and there for paid for their time aswell as service, they should have made a more hospitable gesture, thats my opinion anyway 
I hate all material games due to the possibilty of them not working, and the chance of them getting lost (a high chance with me). It's Gamestop's atmosphere that I REALLY hate though.Worgen said:

They couldn't really offer much more than a refund. They might not even stock the game if it's older or used.

thats stupid, of all the things that can break in a game the disc is on the lower end of the chance of defect, if your a pc gamer at all then you probably know all about hardware conflicts and such, at least with a physical copy you might be able to get a refundThe Amazing Tea Alligator said:
The hate on gamestop?
Well for me personally I resent the fact that they basically open every game now, but still sell it as new (Basically to eliminate the possibility of returning it for a full refund if you got it as a gift because its opened) All in the name of packing in extras?
They also give virtually no value for selling games to them, If you had the patience to sell it on amazon or ebay, you could possibly get proper value, but part of Gamestops sell value is in a percentage of in store credit.
Beyond that.. its a corporation and is ran like one. They as a corporation do not look at you as a gamer, a player, an adult, or a kid, they look at you as a customer. They look at anything that is doing what they are doing as competition and does everything in its power to eliminate as much competition as is humanly possible. In the town I am currently in there are 2 gamestops within a 1 mile radius of each other. Somehow both are still profitable. However, in the wake of the second one being added, I watched 4 mom and pop style game stores crash.
Gamestop = walmart of gaming and anything that can be considered "like walmart" cannot be good.

what are you expecting? they did exactly what any fair human being would do.
Sure, I bought a shit game once, didn't like it, and brought it back for store credit. I mean think of it this way, they are willing to actually buy the broken game back from you to find something else. If you want it that bad, shell out for the new game, if you can live without it, call it fate
I have never had a lasting problem with any steam game (I have 77 of the damn things).Worgen said:
I can only play about 1/2 of my physical games because of scratched disks, missing CD codes, etc.
Uh...well, just take the refund. I don't know what else you were expecting them to give you. They only had one used copy, and since that one wasn't working, they can't offer you another one, and of course they're going to want the difference for the new copy. Just get your money back and buy a used copy at another GameStop.
The same thing happened to me twice. Metal Gear Solid 2 froze halfway through, and Metal Gear Solid 3 froze 20 minutes in. It's annoying and it sucks, but you can't expect them to play every game they get in from start to finish to make sure it works. That'd just be ridiculous.

I don't get it. They offered to refund your game. What exactly is the problem? what else do you expect them to do? I know others in the thread have asked this question, but it seems that they're being drowned out by the same three people having a discussion about how much Gamestop sucks.
Seriously, do you expect them to play test through every single game they get? That's why they have the 7 day refund. Besides, you're talking about a used game, if you're looking for quality, buy a new game.

Your poll isn't clear enough and you got a perfectly good offer to return it for full refund. No reason for this thread.
