Used means you'll sell it for less than $60.

Cant you just take the game back to the store for a refund?


so pleased being in the UK, our game stores allow you to return a game within ten days of purchase for a refund, credit or exhange for the same value!

lol why would you buy a game you werent sure of in the first place? its called renting, you would have saved yourself $50. sell it to a friend, on ebay, or resort to trading it back to EB. you could easily get it for $50 if you asked around.

You're not getting all your money back for a used game...

They depreciate in value the moment you open them. You'll get more on eBay, but there's no way you're gettin $60 for it.

Maybe try renting games next time if you're not sure about them.

Or you could try a game trading website and get another game for it.

Amazon or ebay is the closest you'll get to $60.

Find a moron willing to buy it for sixty dollars. Theres no way your going to be able to sell it to a game store or pawn shop for the same price you bought it.

Craigslist is probably your best bet. You won't get $60 for it though, maybe $50-$55?

what store are you going to? GAME/Gamestation stores don't give out a full refund if its been opened unless there's a problem with the disk itself.

At GAME in the UK you can use a new-ish game to buy a newer game for a fraction of the price - kinda like a part-exchange. I'd suppose Gamestop have a similar policy...

Failing that, I guess you're stuck. I'd advise you read as much as you can about a game (watch videos as well) before you buy it.

My local Game allow for credit or exchange, and my local Gamestation (including the Gamestation desk at my nearest Blockbusters) give a full refund within ten days of purchase, I have been using the same store for the last three years, last game I had to take back was AvP....within 24 hrs of buying it, it went straight back for a full refund!!

If you preordered it, you might be able to get 45-50 bucks for it on craigslist, and seel the code for the deadly assassin outfit seperately to make up the difference. Barring that, sounds like you're out at least 15-20$. Bummer.

You should easily be able to get $45 on Ebay plus $5 to ship it. Not the end of the world considering you bought something you weren't sure of, which was your mistake. You shouldn't even be trying to get all of your money back. Sell it on Ebay and cut your losses.

These things happens when you make dumb decisions. You either rent if you are unsure whether you will enjoy a purchase or not, or read reviews and watch gameplay clips extensively. As far as I know in North American you cannot get a full refund simply because you used what you bought and didn't like it.

Sell it to a friend or a popular gaming store for a less amount of money.

Perfect example of someone falling for the hype! yes the reviews are all fantastic, but that doesn't mean it's your kind of game. What were you expecting anyway? Its GTA with revolvers and horses! if you dont like GTA, you wont like RDR. Maybe rent next time or sign up for Gamefly!
