[quote name='collector42']This story just screams bullshit.
So you--err--your friend, buys you a game for a system you don't own (you guys talk much?), pays cash and immediately tosses the receipt. 'Cause, you know--he's so sure you actually own the system in question he can toss that receipt. Though I suppose it would suck to open it and find the disc snapped in half...
You don't list what game it was either.
So I can only assume "your friend" bought a clearance game that either the store didn't have any more of for the system you own, or more likely the one you bought was discounted, and the version for the system you own was not.
Please don't abuse the return policies of corporations with bullshit like this--I beg of you.
We used to be able to buy electronics at Costco, and if my receiver died 6 years later they'd refund me! But no, people decided to start buying TVs for the sole purpose of "yearly upgrades". Never pay a penny more and just upgrade your TV! Hell, buy a projector and burn the bulb out--return it and get a new one!
Costco had some guy return a PS2--TWO--get his money back and apply it to a PS3 claiming he was no longer satisfied with it.
So when you invent stories to format swap software with no receipt, eventually companies turf their return policies. Walmart makes lots of money blah blah blah--I'm aware--but your actions hurt other consumers--and yourself--it just takes time...
If you'd claimed your clueless grandmother bought you the game I'd be more inclined to believe you--but your friend doesn't know what system you have and goes out and buys you games? A game you won't name because we'll recognize it as a recent system-specific clearance sale? Come on.
(Feel free to take some time to flesh out your story--find a game that's the same price on both systems and claim its the game he gave you etc. etc.)

Jeez getting pretty harsh don't you think. It's actually a recent game Persona 4 Arena. I have both xbox 360 and Ps3 he knows that. He just assumed i'd want it for Xbox 360 as I am on it quite often. But i prefer my fighting games on ps3 as I've always played them on that.
I don't know why you have to be so rude in the first place. It isn't like I'm asking for such a big thing from a store. I just want a system swap FOR THE SAME GAME (SAME VALUE)!
Like the game just game out a couple days ago. Plus I never said he threw the receipt away, he lost it. People lose things all the time.
I had asked him right away if we could get it swapped for the PS3 copy anyways but since Persona 4 arena is licensed by Atlus they are known for not having such a high demand in turn there isn't many copies. The best buy in his area only had xbox 360 copies left when he went back to see what he could do for me. That's why I came here to ask if I could try my best buy.
I don't care if they say no it isn't like it is the end of the world, worst case scenario is I can try to trade it online, or sell it to re-buy it for ps3 on ebay or any place that still has it available.
And the link ragnar posted to the trading part of the forums is the game i'm trying to system swap.
