I mean I think that gamestop selling a used game as new is shitty business and should be called out. It's not that he NEEDS a factory sealed copy, but it is what he paid for and that's what he should get.
Yeah total bs. Also the associates are allowed to play these open copies to give their opinion on games. They should be sold used. No clue why they don’t just use printed boxes on the shelf. They break copy right laws anyways when they do their own reprinted labels.
Agreed. Selling gutted copies as new was always sleezy...but if the customer was fine with it, then whatever.
I mean I get it..but what’s the best they do? Take it back with a gift card in return and send him on his way to another local store that might have a factory sealed copy, or tell him, “sorry, you’re SOL. Take the copy or leave it.”?
Ya that would piss me off too. If the game is gutted, at least have the vouchers work. Every game I’ve purchased from them have had functioning vouchers. That was a sleazy employee for sure.
Huh. So either they also had an pre-owned copy and the clerk grabbed the "wrong one" or some clever clerk figured out they could rack up a ton of eShop credit by stealing the gold coins from these "new" games.
You are certainly entitled to get a factory sealed game. But if I had the game I wanted to play on the console I wanted to play it on...
I hear you, but I think the "best" they could do is not open the copies to begin with. If no one complains about it then nothing will ever change. Also if they don't have a sealed copy of call of duty and the was actually their last copy then they are doing something wrong because that should be a well stocked game.
And is fully agree with all of this!
Yup, that's the right approach. I admit I've taken open "new" copies from GS, but only when it's the last copy, and because I can't be bothered to go anywhere else for it.
I'm in the same boat, brother. Unfortunately I'm at a tremendous disadvantage when it comes to most drops because I work on weekdays when most of them happen so I can't be on my phone long enough. I really don't expect to have one before the summer.
Congrats! No luck here, had the message for in-store pick up only, but under the item (which said in stock) it said not available for in-store pick up.
I'm thinking with the stimulus checks, the additional stimulus checks, and tax refund season it's going to be a while before I get one. I won't give a scalper business though, I'll just have to try to be patient.
Unfortunately for me my ps4 is my original launch console and the fan is constantly running so its probably on its way out. I'm not trying to buy a new ps4 when it's on the way out so a scalper is my only shot
you can find a used ps4 pro for low $200s and sell it for your money back if not all. I personally can wait on a ps5 until there's actually a bunch of exclusives and by that time I'm sure the scalping will be over.
What time will gamestop release the bundle normally? Is it 3pm EST?
Shipping
or people are just quicker than you?
Not everyone buying a ps5 is a reseller. They’re probably in the minority at this point. Not a whole lot of money reselling consoles at this point.
Same here, can't get anything through, trying on mobile and multiple browsers.
Yeah I got extremely lucky! Took almost an hour to complete the transaction. Came close to just giving up several times but I stuck with it.
