[quote name='nddave']If you break the seal/plastic its not new anymore. I dont care what gamestop says or their polices are. Opened plastic/seal is used product. You open a game to play it whether its workers, customers or managers. Sell me a sealed as new an opened as used period[/QUOTE]
As an experiment, buy two sealed copies of a game you actually want a copy of to keep, open one right in front of the employees and say "I want to return this". See what they say.
Chances are you will hear "we can only give you used trade in value for that game since once you opened it it's now considered used". Then point at the walls upon walls of open gutted 'new' games and say "well those are still 'new' so why is mine considered 'used' "?
DVD cases cost .01-.02(.05 at most) each in bulk (plus gamestop probably tosses away thousands of cases from those $1.99 and under PS2 games they have disc only on the counter), printed coverart would cost probably less than that if printed en masse for the entire chain, but it's just easier to gut copies of new/sealed games to use the cases/artwork/manuals as their display copies.
