I reread and deleted, apologies there. Those stores broke federal law, plain and simple. I'll tell you why most stores don't break the store policy.
Transactions where new games are returned are logged in GameStop Corporate's database. After so many return transactions not authorized by DM/higher of returned new games, the store is flagged (not to mention the store's profit is crap due to returning new games is a double loss) and the SM is investigated. Upon investigation, a SM most likely will be fired and/or fined. Federal law states that opened, new discs are non-returnable due to piracy issues that can occur. Gonna suck for those stores if something like that happens.
Bottom line it doesn't matter guys. The game will get better and we will enjoy it without the complainers if they take it back for refunds or trade.
Gettin late
Later all
Dude seriously a lot of "mmo experts" on here are full of crap. I've been playing mmo's since EQ launch. I know what to expect, but console gaming is suppose to be different. You sacrifice the HQ graphics for ease of use. You are suppose to be able to pop in a disc and go. No configuring and updates are really small and quick.
Please remember this when looking at people's responses in the Xbox section. They are not use to putting up with PC game hassles. Every response that we are seeing if you understand console and PC gaming at all is to be expected. Trion gets a pass from me for trying something new, but we are all different and I don't expect everyone to agree.
The sad part is that as consumers these people are correct and they are being told "it's the norm". The Internet and the we'll patch things after release mentality is killing gaming.
