I bought Guitar Hero 2 with controller last week for my XBOX 360, because it was $20 off at GameStop, and you can't use the Rock Band controller with GH3. So when I opened it up, it seemed like it wasn't new. There was no shrink wrap on the game. And when I looked at the disc, it had a circle around it, (didn't know why or what this meant until later).
So when I tried playing it yesterday, the game wouldn't work. Then I find out that the circle was a scratch, and was why it wasn't working. So GameStop sold me a USED DEFECTIVE game like it was NEW. When I took it back today, they said I scratched it myself, and had no proof they had sold me a used game as new. So I have to go back and see the manager tomorrow. I'm not gonna stand by and get ripped off by GameStop and shady business practices. Anybody have any experiences like this or advice what to do? Isn't selling me a used game that doesn't work like it was new and accusing me of being a liar terrible business?

There isn't much you are going to be able to do now that you played it... they can honestly say that they didn't sell you a used game and that you scratched it yourself... unless you can magically prove otherwise, I can assume that you aren't going to get very far... sucks to be you but looks like they just owned you. Yeah it is bad business but it's not like they care, it's not there company they just work for them. The manager might be a little more managable but it's not likely that you will succeed much more.

No, they can't honestly say they didn't sell me a used game, because they definitely. I didn't suspect that they had, until I realized the circle on it was a scratch and they had pulled a fast one on me. I wasn't expecting any shenanagins. They lied to me and misrepresented a used, as well as defective, game as new.

if you have a reciept and you take it back and tell them its just about impossible to make a circle scratch on the game un-intentionally in less that 24 hrs they might have to give you your money back.

Doesn't GameStop have that thing where if you buy a game brand new you can return it for a full refund within7 days even if you opened it? GameStop people are jackasses. I bought GH2 from there once. So the guy scans it and puts it in the bag. I walk out to look at the receipt, and I see it has no shrinkwrap. I turn right around and show it to him. He says it is new, except it was a display copy. I asked why I didn't get a sealed copy, and he says they didn't have anymore. So I ask why he didn't tell me he was going to give me an opened copy, and he says he is supposed to give a display copy if no sealed copies are left and it still has the same warranty from them as if it was sealed. So I ask again why didn't he ask me if I would want the opened store display copy, and he said because it was store policy. I got my money back right there and have no shopped at them since. That is ridiculous.
Like I said, they have some sort of deal with the returns even if it is open. Check it out and good luck.

If it is a full ring on the disc it will be a laser burn. Just stand your ground and they will back down they are in the wring at the end of teh day.

Some of the games I got there have a new label on it, but it's not in shrink wrap. The games worked for me though so I am not arguing.

Well, the manager gave me a new game, opened it, showed me it was brand new, and I was on my way. Much better than the clown who told me I couldn't "prove it" yesterday.

I hate Gamestop with a passion but I still go there. There are a lot of good games that are like 3-4 years old that are cheap but too old to be sold at places like Best Buy or Wal-Mart.

reminds me of the time I got bad service at a restuarant. Got pissed so I put the tip in a glass of water and quickly flipped about 5 glasses of water onto the table so the cup would be upside down and the water would remain in there. I would watch the workers act like idiots by trying to flip the cup back over quickly but end up splashing water all over the tables and themselves when the smart thing to do would have been to get a bucket and simply slide the cup to the edge of the table and let the water out into the bucket at the bottom.
anyway. yeah it's laser burn. Just don't go to gamestop pretty much crap over there.

i work at gamestop and alot of what you guys said about ya know saying threats and knockin stuff over is the reason why im always in trouble cause i have customers do that all day and i'll tell ya this i dont deal with that you knock something over and your damn sure gonna pick it up or be on the ground next to it, im sure im gonna be fired by christmas. now that little rant is over the guy who said that stuff to you is an idiot sadly alot of the people who are hired are not the brightest bunch, so you guys know though a seal is usually placed on the display copies so that everything is the same and most of the guitar hero's that are bundled with the guitar are not shrink wrapped since there already in the huge pack.
