Problem: Can I return Gameboy Advance games at Best Buy?

[slipperyslope]

I know this is not the most ethical thing to do but this will work. Go to walmart. Check out and see if they have the games you bought. If they do then go back to best buy and get them to exchange it for an opened game. Then take the unopened game to walmart for your refund.

Here's a more ethical way to do it:

get a flashlink/64 device, download the games, if you like them, go buy them.

That way you don't have to waste your time + money, and the stores dont have to take a loss on returns..


(im not saying pir8 the games, just try them before you buy them).

Of course, you can also more ethically, go rent the game at blockbuster, first, too.

Take Note of Stores' Return Policy When Holiday Shopping

TALLAHASSEE ? As the official holiday shopping season begins this week, Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Bob Crawford today urged consumers to make certain that they understand a store's policy on returning or exchanging merchandise before they make a purchase.

"Many stores have liberal return or exchange policies, while others do no accept returns at all," Crawford said. "That's important to know, especially when shopping for others, when you may be uncertain about sizes or styles."

If a store has a return policy, which typically requires a receipt, Florida law requires that it grant a refund on the merchandise within seven days of the date of purchase provided that the item is unused and in its original carton. Fortunately, most stores that allow returns will accept returns for longer periods of time, particularly during and after holiday shopping seasons.

Some stores, however, regard all sales as final and do not allow consumers to return merchandise. If that is the case, they must post a notice of the policy at the point of sale.

"The bottom line is that it is up to an individual retailer to determine what its policy is," Crawford said. "Shoppers should familiarize themselves with those policies before they make a purchase, and use that policy to determine where they do their shopping."


This was from 1998, so things may have changed.

I tried playing the Gameboy Advance today in the sun with my sunglasses on - it finally looked pretty good. It's like trying to look underwater - with sunglases, it can be done; without it cannot.

I'm starting to wonder about people. I don't remember this many complaints about the GBC, and the GBA screen seems much more forgiving about lighting angles. I just played a quick round of F-Zero in my chair here, and this entire room is lit by one(1) 60W bulb in a diffusing fixture. Are you blind?

They won't take back videogames? Thats pretty lame if you ask me. I could see that they won't take back PC games at all, but console/handheld games? And their cartridges no less!

Fricken idiots

I'm gonna try taking my Gameboy Advance back to Best Buy and exchanging it - I must have gotten one of the cruddy ones with a bad screen. I was playing Mario 2 in direct light - and I like it quit a bit.
