Any one have this happen with a disc based system?

[Roehm21]

I went to my local used game store last night and purchased a PSX on a whim. When I got home and opened it up there was a game disc inside. Have any of you ever had that happen before? I plan on taking the game back later today so it doesn't screw up the stores inventory.

Peace,
Dan

It's entirely possible that store never opened the system either, and the disc has been in there since the original owner sold it.

Happens often with me. I used to try taking stuff back but never had to return it as the store would always tell me to keep it as they didnt have it in their system to begin with. Your not doing them any favors either. It's not stealing if they were too lazy to bother checking the system when they bought it.

I had it happen to me on a garage sale DVD player... got a free copy of "The Breakfast Club" out of it...

[iloveguns]

your lucky mate..
i got an experienced with this one but the cd is broken it wont play so i have a free broken cd.. lol

[Poofta!]

happened to me twice. once with a sega cd game, and once with a movie dvd. (both sucked). it was at flea markets i think, maybe garage sale, so i never bothered bringing em back.

what game did you get? i say keep it unless it sucks AND you visit the store often.

What was the game ?

I have very good luck with that, i have found Shenmue, FF7, MGS, Suikoden, Marvel Capcom 2 ... etc etc

It happens very often

Two things come to mind when this happens:
1) Does the unit actually work as it may not have been tested?
2) Was it their testing disc they forgot to take back out?

Either way enjoy it as a freebie, whatever it may be.

Did you sell the one disc or hold onto it?

I kept the disc, i still have a couple of copies missing the disc 1 so i was really happy to found that disk inside the system

[sebastiankirchoff]

Its not a disc based system, but I have bought several NES's with games inside that I forgot to check. Got several free games (Castle of Dragon and a couple of Super Mario Bros) from it.

I have also bought a couple of VCR's with VHS tapes inside, but couldn't see what they were before buying since it required power to eject the tape. I found Air Bud and an unlabeled tape.

[MissingNo_1231]

yeah, you see this happen alot with VCRs. or rather, you used to back when I wasn't the only one to still use a VCR.

I saw it with a Sega Saturn at a Salvation Army Store. Had Mortal Kombat 3 in it. But I didn't get it because I didn't have that much cash on me at the time.

I remeber finding puzzle fighter 2, bratz(something something) in used psx systems at thrift stores, in a dreamcast i found ready to rumble boxing, and in a segacd model 1 I found the 4 in 1 disk. whenever I see a cd based system at those places I always check inside, sometimes the game inside is worth more then the asking price of the bare bones system (partly why i bothered to buy a few of those psx systems)

[Cobra Commander]

Yeah I found a copy of SMB2 in an NES I found at the Salvation Army.
Think I brought it back?

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

It has happened to me a few times. I bought an NES which had Rampart in it. More recently I picked up a DVD player at a church bazaar for $2 which had a copy of 'Knocked Up' in it. Then I bought a DVD/VHS combo unit which came with a Pilates DVD and some workout VHS tape in it.

I just remembered, one time me and my dad were having a garage sale and I had to sell my old stereo unit. Well, there was an Elton John CD we were listening to, and when a dude came to buy it, I forgot to take it out. Oh well, I am not a EJ fan so it didn't bother me.

[Haoie]

Holy cow yes.

When I first got my PS1, Need for Speed 4 was inside.

Score.

[j_factor]

My PC Engine Duo R came with The Addams Family (US) inside.

[c0ldb33r]

My 3DO came with a copy of Family Feud.

It is so shitty that I wish it didn't

[samael64]

This has only happened to me once, but in a slightly different way. My Sophia came with a MegaCD-R in it. Though it wasn't a game, but rather a duck disc.

[NES_Rules]

That happens to me all the time with disc systems. Countless PS1s but they've always come with other games anyway. And my 3DO had a game inside as well. I think I've gotten a free game from a Sega CD as well.
