Is Gamestop trying to cheat me?

I recently ordered three NEW Wii games from Gamestop. The items were sent in two shipments. In the confirmation email for the first shipment, both games have a TR25 beside the name of the game. Does anyone know what the TR25 means?


When I tried to search for the meaning, most search results led me to this website. Some people seem to think it means the games are used/preowned. Others think it might have something to do with a discount or shipping method. But no one seems to know the meaning for sure.


I tried calling Gamestop and was put on hold forever, so I hung up. I've tried emailing them twice from different addresses and have not received a reply, it's been a week.


Since two of the NEW games were bought as gifts, I want to make sure they're not preowned. I received the games (Mario Kart w/wheel and Zumba Fitness 2 - both for Wii) and they came in their normal boxes. However, the boxes have a round tape seal on the ends (also normal) and the game cases and accessories are inside the box. I don't want to open the boxes. I've tried peaking in the box, but I can't tell if the game cases are shrinkwrapped or not.


If the games were preowned, would it be obvious? I probably sound paranoid, but I've heard stories, especially about Gamestop. I wouldn't have ordered from there, but they were the only place that had Mario Kart plus a discount with use of a coupon code. Like I was going to pay full retail price for that game, yeah right!
 
Normally, a response of 'Yes' could be given without reading the topic. However, I wouldn't panic until you get the goods.

He already got them, he said the boxes were sealed but was worried about if the contents of the boxes were still new as well (as someone could have resealed the boxes). The "circle" tape is the standard sealing method on most box games. I wouldn't worry about it.

So basically you have absolutely no reason to presume they might not be sealed?
