GameStop has posted a proposed settlement offer on its website, providing details in the class-action lawsuit filed against it claiming that the company has been selling used games as new - a practice that is fraudulent under purchasing laws in the United States. If you've purchased software from Gamestop, Babbage's, Software Etc., Planet X, Planet Comics, Supr Software, Software Plus, FuncoLand, and Super Software, you may be eligible to receive damages under the proposed settlement.
Gamestop's statement claims that they deny all wrongdoing and liability, but due to the "uncertainty, risks, difficulties, delays and expenses involved in litigation", it's better to reach a resolution rather than go through the courts. Riiiight.

Anyways, if you have a receipt for new software on Dreamcast, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, GameCube, Genesis, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Super Nintendo, Xbox, Sega CD, Saturn, Game Gear, 3D0, or NeoGeo console from a Babbages or FuncoLand retail location from April 12, 1998 through August 1, 2003, you will get...

**drumroll please***

...a coupon good for a five percent discount off the purchase price of any piece of software at the location where you redeem the coupon.

Hit the link above to find out how to get yourself a coupon, how to exclude yourself from the class action lawsuit, or where you can object to this pittance settlement by attending the Settlement Hearing.

What does that mean.. selling used games as new.

I worked there years ago .... are these just games people return and then they put back out?

Don't all companies do such things?

They probably do, but they mark is as USED as opposed to selling it new.

You buy a game, dont like it, then return it they just reshrinkwrap it and put it back out.

I don't think thats what they mean. I think its when they buy back the game from users. Like you either trade-in a game or sell it to them at really low prices and then they reprice it higher and sell it as used. But in this case they didn't mark it as "used" but rather they repackaged it as new.
 
actually it happened to me a couple of months ago. bought a game I thought was new but turned out it was used. It wouldn't even play so I took it back for a refund.
