Game Stop Loop Hole??

i was thinking. i could just buya 50 dollar used game. i have a week to return it and get my money back.

Loop Hole 1: buy the game, then return and buy it again, return it, buy it, etc. until you finish it, go on to diferent game etc.

Loop Hole 2: buy the game, play it for a week, get money back. buy another game, play for week, money back, etc.

anybody try this or think about this?

you can do it, but it gets tiring after a while.

actually it doesnt quite work like that, they register your data so you cannot do that

It would work if you returned a used game and put it towards another used game. They wouldn't allow you to constantly buy the same used game over and over... you would have to switch it up.

they don't take opened items http://www.gamestop.com/gs/help/Returns.aspxPatChampsXXXVI

Yeah like someone else said the data gets registered you can't buy a game and then return it a week later and do it over and over they will stop you when you try to return it

I don't think that would work. I bought a broken copy of metal gear solid 2 there and when I tried to return it they would not refund me they would only replace it. To bad the store I was at did not have any more copys so they told me to drive all the way across my city to a different eb games location to get another copy of a $10 game. Needless to say I only go into eb games if I can't find what I want anywhere else now.

Does the "I just don't like the game" excuse work? Or do you have to say it's defective.

If its obvious they will also ban you from there store. There are 6 kids banned from the local Gamestop for trying that stunt.

That's if they'll let you get another game. The one week return thing is for defective products. If you return something defective, they may be nice and let you get something else but they also may give you another copy of the same game. It's not just a "try it and then if you don't like it, return it" system. With the length of games now and people coming up with plans like this, they'd make no money.CNUrGames

they will only replace it for the same copy within that time i think

Personally, I wouldn't feel bad at all for taking advantage of them. Do you think they feel bad about taking advantage of other customers when they low ball them a price then sell it to someone else for a lot more. Also, they don't sell games as 'new', they open them and store the disc behind the counter where employees can 'rent' them and bring them back. I would not feel bad at all if I was using their policy against them.Silverpeel

[QUOTE="raahsnavj"]Wait, you are angry at them for lowballing trade-ins the the person has every right to say no to and walk back out? Then you yourselves give the finger to devs by not even buying OR renting a game? I think your real solution would be to not go to GS is you hate them so much. This 'GS loop hole' is really nothing more than a way to rip off the industry not GS.Silverpeel

I made a blog about this same thing and I got modded for it so i'd watch out.

at my gamestop, you can do it two times. the third time you take it back or whatever you take back, they look at the receipt and on the third, its final. thats how they do me. but yes it is good if there is a short game you want to play, take it back and get another, then get the game you can hang onto on the third go round. its the one good thing about gamestop

If he lived somewhere like I do there are at least 5 gamestops in the area with more in neighboring towns. You could alternate between them.

it wouldnt work they would def reconize you and stop you after the second or third time they arent dumb and the info for the sale is saved in their computers so they will def notice.
