Personally I don't think that the return policy was worth the trade off. I'm for the lawsuit as well.
That would annpy me to. I hope that this case doesn't get blown out of porportion though, like shut down that store.
Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text
Honestly, I'd like to see EB go down, but it's not gonna happen. I'm just hoping that they get reamed in court and cop to selling opened marchandise as new and then have to admit that it's actually used and change their "store display copy" policy. I'm sick of that. I want to buy SEALED games.

Well, I stopped buying games from them years ago for the same reason.
Hopefully this will put a stop to their practice of trying to sell used games as new. (Although I have to admit I don't know if they still do it since I don't shop there anymore).

Everyone here like...hates EB games. I buy games from them a lot. But I'm not really a collector so maybe that is why I have no beef with them.

You ask, can i get that sealed, and they say, sorry we don't have it sealed, you then have a choice of not buying it.
My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.
I've never bought from EB Games. Sure, I've sent numerous emails to them with no response coming at all (it's like Charlie Brown waiting for valentines at the mailbox), but as far as purchasing, I've never made it that far.
This'll be interesting to see what becomes of all this.

I don't see what the problem is with their policy. It's quite simple, if they don't have it sealed, don't buy it. Go somewhere else. I personally like the return policy. With the price of new games continuously staying at $50, its a bummer to buy a "new" game only to find out it sucks after you open it and try it out.
Some stores, like Kmart, won't even let you return any opened game unless it is defective. Their return policy specifically notes that any other return would constitute a violation of the DMCA.
I wonder how this lawsuit will affect their ability to display "empty game boxes" on the shelves with the actual media and manual behind the counter. Gamestop and EB both do it. Then when only the display is left, they sell that one as "new."
I got boned by EB once a looooong time ago. I finally saved up and bought a copy of "Cosmic Fantasy 2" for my beloved Turbo. It was the last copy in the store too. When I got home the instructions had been written inside of them in ink, and then very poorly wite-outed, plus the disc was scratched. After paying close to $60 for that game I was pissed!
Not all who launder are washed.
That's a bit different....I would have taken it back and stuffed it down their throat.
The lawsuit's about opening a game, removing said game to put case on display; or selling a returned game as new. I still don't understand why people just don't ask before they buy. Not everyone requires a sealed, pristine, untouched game.
They'll still do it, but they'lll put something like "This game may have been returned in accordance to the stores' return policy" on their receipts, or post it by the register. That's what Gamestop did.
I shall stop now before I become angry.
RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
Well I had bought a game from EB that was sealed and when I got home and opened it I saw the price tag was in the inside of the plastic "seal". When I took it back to ask how this could happen, they told me when a customer returns a non defective game with in so many days it is resealed and resold. I feel I was being deceived by the game being resealed. If it was sold to me with no shrink wrap then that would be a different story. Now my friend works at the store and he calls me a idiot for making a big deal about me saying its not "new", I call him a thief for selling a USED game at a new price. We both laugh and buy each other a round.
Yup, CW has my feelings exactly.
I don't care if the game is sealed or not as long as it IS new and everything is in pristine shape (and if it's not I'll take it back and get another) and I always ask questions and inspect CD's of used games or what not. I'm known on a first name basis in my local EB anyway, so they expect that from me.

I agree with this lawsuit, although I would not go that far (a refund or exchange for a new copy makes me content) but sooner or later a company pisses off the wrong consumer and you get lawsuits, its easy to rectify the "sealed" game problem when purchasing in person but when you order online its more of a headache, and it is frustrating when a gamer knows he ordered and "payed" a new product and recieves a used one on a consistent basis, this pratice insults the consumer's intelligence and trust and is just overall bad business, it is true that many gamers don't care so much about paying brand new price for resealed games but I do and if you are going to send me a used game then sell it to me for a used price, I could go on and on about EB's bad practices but I won't. Admittedly, I still purchase from them but I make it clear via email and telephone that the product I ordered is brand new and not used and this usually fixes any future problems, in fact I just recieved Dragonball Z Budokai sealed brand new for the GC in the mail today, I preordered it and got that greatest battles DVD.
