Not according to Nintendo LOL!

The CDI games are like a thing that happened that everyone pretends didn't happen.

Meh, if they have the R1G1 sticker... and the game hasnt rented in 3+ months, they are allowed to sell it for the retail price the computer says (R1G1 games are USUALLY $9.99). The only one I can see them giving you a hard time about after the fact is Mario, as they try to protect those.

--- Quote from: TDIRunner on April 20, 2017, 12:30:28 PM ---I was really surprised how easily Family Video's stickers peeled off. They came right off in one try without any assistance and didn't leave any sticky residue. I was pretty impressed. I didn't try the sticker on the discs yet. I might not eve bother. Slightly higher risk there.

Yeah, the disc stickers come off pretty easily too. Just be careful and clean with alcohol instead of goo gone. I took all the stickers off mine with no real issues.

Leaving the stickers on gives you lifetime cleanings for free. Either that (sticker) or by having the receipt. and I would rather have the sticker on it than have a receipt in the case I guess. Unless I photoshopped the 8x11 "receipt paper" down to the size of a manual.

That's helpful. I hadn't been in a Family Video in about 10 years, so I didn't know any of their rules.

Finally got on board with the Wii U. Picked up all this for $140. Person selling it said they broke the charging port on the gamepad, and while yes, it is flaky, their issue was their AC adapter, they severed part of the cord, so no juice. One sloppy splice later and I'm back in action.
I must say, I am impressed, although, the Wii was so bad (from a visual standpoint), that anything looks good.
