Just venting here about some of the bone heads that I've encountered at game stores. Went in to Game Crazy last week and noticed they had some sales going on. (Mostly old NES/SEGA stuff) but behold they had all PSX titles at 5-$7. I'm thinking pretty decent considering the stock they usually get. Well I'm looking through the games and I find a copy of FF7 first release. I immediately snatched this up and took it to the counter with a few other titles. Before check out though I opened it up and noticed a disc was missing. I asked the clerk if I could have another copy or get this one reduced and he said, "No it should be here. Heck that disc should have been in there. It was sealed last week." I looked at him like a cow looks at an oncoming train. I asked him to please tell me more and he says its, "Company policy to open all games they get on used/reduced price stock that are not priority one" (i.e. 360,ps3, wii right now).
It saddens me to think I could have had a complete sealed copy of FF7! I've had problems with this before. Last year they received 3 copies of Conker's Bad Fur Day one of them was CIB. Needless to say they threw away the pesky paper box and the instructions. (Clearly to enhance the value) I know it may be policy, but I've begged the employees to give me a call if they should get in anymore sealed/CIB stuff.
