well, the state of michigan has a "Lemon Law" meaning that if you buy something and it ends up being a dud, you can return it and get your money back. This law has helped me in exchanging numerous defective games, |

I've never really had a problem buying a defective game used, saved for a copy of Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast. I already zone in on the higher quality cases when buying older games used, I just have to hope the clerk gives me a non-defective disc. By the way, does anyone else hate when they buy a game with an original case, and they give you the "greatest hits" version of the disc. That sort of thing always annoyed me. But yeah, it's always a gamble buying older games used. Garage sales are no better, but a lot cheaper. So far my SNES collection is being obtained via the internet and handmedowns. |

I did return them today on my way home, still very annoying. The games themselves looked okay when I got them (what I didn't notice where the scratches on the label side of the disc because that's not usually something anyone pays attention to when they pick up games). I rarely have trouble with buying games used (6 games I've ever bought used didn't work, 4 of them being Gamecube games from GameStop), it just sucks when you get a game you want for a good price to find out it doesn't work. --- Quote from: 6521ordnut on December 09, 2010, 12:47:22 AM ---TC - come cross one of the bridges - we in Bellevue have a couple Gamestops (Belleuve Square and Crossroads), and there is a Play-n-trade in Kirkland. I have only had to return two games in 10 years. --- End quote --- I'd love to, I go to school in Redmond, just don't really have the time or will to go all the way out there just to shop at Play-n-Trade. I have friends that have worked at GameStop's in different places before, and most stores do have a policy where they are supposed to at least "look" at the condition of the game before taking it for a trade-in and if it's not good enough, then they have to send it in to be resurfaced. Sadly no store I know of actually does it because the clerks just don't care. |

optical discs should have come in caddies that would have allowed you to use it with out handling the disc itself, while at the same time protecting the disc. |
