Well that happened to me before. I went to a GameStop (by my house, I still shop there for some reason...) and I asked or a new unopened copy of Lunar Knights for DS. He reaches in and pulls out a gutted copy.

I said, no thank you. I asked for a new unopened copy and you give me this? Do you not know what unopened means?

Then me and my brother left the store. I mean I know it sounds like I'm the asshole here. I still shop there anyway though, but I only ever preorder stuff or buy a game on launch day (like Sonic Unleashed).

Back when I was naive, I bought Dragon Ball Z: SSW2 & Castlevania: DoS at GameStop and they gave me a gutted copy. I bet they played the damn game and used it already, and were just selling it as new.

But they never bug me about preordering anything most of the time. I did preorder MadWorld, Pokemon Platinum, Rhythm Heaven, and a Blue DSi...so maybe they like me now? :p
 
I don't honestly think you sound like an asshole. You wanted an unopened copy...you asked for unopened copy...and they try to hand you the opened one. I know when I was looking to pick up the MGS Essentials, the only one the store had was the display copy. I didn't want the banged up cardboard box, so I said, "No, thanks." The employee looked at me like I was fucking nuts.

Many of the employees who recognize me from going there so much will now ask me if I mind getting the gutted copy. They also don't seem to ask about pre-orders nearly as much as in the past. I honestly can't remember the last time an employee asked me if I wanted to pre-order anything.

[quote name='TimPV3']19. Don't bitch about your shitty trade in value
20. Smell decent
21. Don't ask if the Wii can play Blu-ray movies
22. When I spend an extra 2 minutes finding the best looking game in the drawer, don't complain because it has smudges, or ridiculously light scratches. It's used for a reason.
23. Don't try to weasel out of refurb fees because your PS2 magically stopped reading bluebacks on the car ride to the store.
24. For fucks sake, your 360 made that nice deep little ring on your disc, and it's not my responsibility to exchange it or give you a refund (but I'll do it anyway because I don't want to read about it on CAG).[/quote]

You forgot the part where you charge the refurb fee on a game, don't refurb it and charge full price on it. :roll:

classic, but true
 
#34. (and I actually do this)

- every time they ask you to preorder something or try to hand you a gutted copy of something just look at them like they are crazy and you dont know what they are talking about or trying to pull.
