By the way, this game is not very good. I guess for $6.00 its not that bad.
Of note, this game is also $3.00 USED at Gamestop.

hell of a story behind that game. Wasn't it originally going to be on gamecube? Had hype even then.

Wait wikipedia says "originally planned as a four-disc release for the Sony PlayStation in 1999". Wow.

Easiest thing to do is look for a store on the locator that says "In Stock" instead of Low Stock. "In Stock" means there are at least 2 copies in stock which usually means theres a gut and the rest are sealed.

Not only did I get a gutted copy, but the disc had clearly been buffed. you, Gamestop.

Got my used copy for $3. An hour in and I like it so far, very much worth it at $3

If the copy is new and not used, why would they need to rebuff it unless it had damage? It is fraud, dude. Return it and complain.

it, I'm in for a $6 new copy.

Was tempted, just for a second, to get an extra one just as a "gaming history" collection thing, but then I thought better of that nonsense. Highly doubt the game will become valuable sealed, it's been way too long of it being out there. If it was actually hard to still find new copies, then maybe, but the fact that sites like gamestop are able to just offload tons of new sealed copies like this means there are tons out there (I would assume). Just seems like too many people will have sealed copies, thus removing the rarity and value.

That said, played the demo years ago and thought the story seemed cool (futuristic viking lore stuff seemed really neat to me).

Exactly. I am returning it tomorrow. Not that I'll be getting anything other than *hopefully* an actual new copy.

Or it can just mean that they have an abundance of gutted copies. One store I went to had seven copies, all gutted!

I've had this happen with games. Sometimes, with big releases, they'll have multiple display copies... meaning multiple gutted copies.

Well 2 copies (one of which was accidentally ordered), 2 gutted. One of them had the circle tape sealing it with a mildly dinged manual but the disc otherwise in decent shape. The other the case is beat to hell, covered in sticker residue, case wasn't sealed at all, manual beat up and the game was in the case in an envelope with a "new" sticker on it. Unfathomable how that's a new copy. I knew I shouldn't have bothered with gamestop regardless of the price, one of, if not the most consumer unfriendly company in retail.

Do these come from a warehouse, some type of store hq or somewhere else?

I'm curious to why there would be all these gutted copies from what I figure would be a warehouse. I mean, they must have gotten them from somewhere, and I'm curious as to why there would be so many. I've counted at least 20 gutted in this topic so far.

Maybe random Gamestop locations ship their gutted copies back to the warehouse by request or something?

Bought one. If I feel the need to play it I'll open it but if not it can just set there. Figured I'd buy it since it's so cheap after seeing how much the new copies were going for on other sites.

You would think so. I called a store in my area, showing it as "in stock". I was told they had 4 new sealed copies, plus the one on the floor.

I run down there, ask if they have any new copies of Too Human, only to be asked why I want a new one. After giving my reason, the guy pulls out a sealed copy - one that is obviously a used copy re-shrink wrapped by them. The case didn't even look new. I then ask if that's all they have, as this looks like a used copy to me. He shows me the others and they're exactly the same.

I tell the guy I'm not interested, as they all look like resealed used copies to me, and don't even have security stickers. He then says that it's because it's an "old" title and this was before they started using the security stickers. :rolls eyes: It's mind blowing how GS is continually able to get away with this B.S..

Got my copy today gutted dirty not sealed with small circular sticker on it. I'm done I'm done I'm done I truly hate GS.

Where on the website can u file a compliant?

gamestop. Ordered 4 copies and 2 were opened with stickers all over them. Tabs were broken on all 4....truly shitty service. This is a ing major company and they do a shittier job packing their merchandise than an 18 year old on eBay.....

The customer service is terrible after going back and forth with them getting simple rude and to the point messages Im getting a replacement copy sent free of charge. We will see how this goes. The girl never even said sorry. She's prob in a office with other people saying here's another gutted copy complainer.

Anyone here who complained and was promised a sealed copy, please report back when you receive it. I want to see if it is truly factory sealed or just a gutted copy with their cheap shrink wrap.

If you bought it from a B&M, tellgamestop.com.
