A punchline requires a joke to set it up!The punch line is that you bought something from GameStop.
I was in Game Stop earlier tonight, and they were talking about their retro games. I saw your original post last night, so I chuckled a little bit when it talked about how each game was thoroughly tested.A punchline requires a joke to set it up!
Yeah, I know, the onus is on me in that fact. Well, "fool me once, shame on you..."
One gamestop's N64 died on them while testing games lol.Howdy all, long story short - I ordered a copy of Chrono Trigger from Gamestop and they sent me a cart with a Madden 95 chip inside. Buyer Beware, GS ain't checking what they're selling.

If they're selling them for $80 they should be checked....Of course they don't check it's not worth the money to them have to check each game. So of course Someone scammed them.

So I'm clear, is any CAG buying retro games from GameStop, period? Wouldn't it be cheaper to find Chrono Trigger even on eBay with a couple minutes' work?kinda figured that would happen eventually, some people have said that they just take the games and dont test them
its pretty easy to switch carts too, i clean N64 games from thrift stores all the time and in just a minute i can open and switch a N64 cart if i wanted to
hope you get a refund OP, now i wont buy any GS retro games unless they are CD until this is fixed
With CAG16 and Power Up Rewards you can save 26% off their prices. In almost all cases that would be cheaper than eBay. Not to mention retro games are included in B2G1 along with PUR (it's a nearly 40% discount in that case).So I'm clear, is any CAG buying retro games from GameStop, period?

You're featured on a popular Youtube series!Howdy all, long story short - I ordered a copy of Chrono Trigger from Gamestop and they sent me a cart with a Madden 95 chip inside. Buyer Beware, GS ain't checking what they're selling.

Also GS isn't supposed to take in any cart with label damage. Sucks that these employees couldn't recognize a retro/fake label, but they are told to just check for damage & the repair center in TX is SUPPOSED to test the cart. Obviously didn't happen here.With CAG16 and Power Up Rewards you can save 26% off their prices. In almost all cases that would be cheaper than eBay.

Also, Chrono Trigger goes for over $110 on eBay and Amazon so even without discounts, GameStop is considerably cheaper.
And holy cr*p did the comments section blow up out of nowhere. Theres a (mostly) happy ending to this story: GS took their dear sweet time but refunded me $80 back - they kept $5 for a restocking fee or something. They also didn't repay me for the $30 out-of-my-pocket it took to Second Day Air it via UPS to Texas. Thankfully, a friend of a friend offered to sell me his copy of CT, which came with box and manual (albeit a bit beat up) for about the same price. That said, GS won't be getting my money again and all I ask is that people keep linking to this video until they learn the meaning of "customer service".
