Again you miss the point. It is intellectually dishonest of them to sell a new game in a condition that is not really new, and it is also dishonest of them to basically remove the only evidence you have that the game hasn't been tampered with. I like a 100% tamper free product to a 99.9% tamper free product. Now of course sometimes even the completely untouched games will have a flaw with them, but I'll take that up with the company that made the game, not the retailer. I do at least expect the retailer to do their due diligence in preventing the game from being used in their own store until I can buy it, and I've made that clear.
Seriously though, aren't you going to comment on the REST of that complaint? Don't you think that all adds up to "Gamestop is a terrible store"?
Really though, they don't have to screw us over some OTHER way. They COULD just sit all the games wrapped up and complete right out there. Honestly, my concerns are limited to the specific transaction taking place and beyond that I don't care, in the same way they don't care that I might be on welfare or something if I decide to "haggle" the price with them for a retarded reason like that. They have reported MASSIVE profits for the past few years. You telling me they couldn't set up a beeping security system at the door with some of that extra scratch? Sure they lose some money, but they keep their ETHICS. Or, maybe they never took business ethics. Seriously, you are just making them look WORSE with your defense ABF. You are basically saying that to save money on their end on a security system, they are instead opening up their games and still selling them as new.
ABF, do you not see the hypocracy of on the one hand not taking off a few dollars because they opened that game, saying it's "new", but then if you turn right around IN FRONT OF THEM and sell them that same game, you can't yourself sell it to THEM as new?
Look ABF, GR, that's what it all boils down to. Ask yourself one very important question. Why won't they buy your unwrapped games as New? When you get the answer to that question, you will understand why I'm upset they SELL their unwrapped games as new.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
