No. Definitely not. Only store that does that AFAIK is EB.
That is why I only buy my games from EB. :)

No, copyright infringement. Stores can get in serious trouble returning used games unless they sell them used, etc.

What, you can do that with EB?? Last time I tried they wouldn't take it back, and I had to "sell" it back to them for a lower price. I only had the game for an hour too...:|

100% no, you wont be able to return it.

Ebgames is cool. I believe you get 10 day or 14 days to return it? You get credit toward another game/store credit.. not a refund though. I dind't liek Animal Crossing so I returned it and put in a preorder for Mario Part 4. Had no problems.

That's right. Ebay seems like the best option for you.

That is Best Buy's policy. Best you can do is get an unopened copy in return.

Edit: Oops, I didn't realize how old this thread was. :eek:

No, only at EB. You could sell the game on the net or use it as a trade in at EB for another one. Course you'll only make like 1/2 on it.

I am almost guaranteed to rent a game before buying. I have about 50 games for genesis and learned my lesson then.

I've returned games to EB I bought at BB (said I lost my reciept) and EB gave me an in-store credit equal to the price of the game I returned. EB, at least in my neck of the woods, has aways been uber-cool when it comes to things like this.
