I'm indifferent to Gamestops practices and don't mind too much because i know a store or 2 around me that does keep good care of even the gutted stock of new games. I will say OP is pretty stupid becuase if he didn't want he didn't want it he didn't have to buy it. Since you settled this thread shouldn't have even been started.

The GOTY edition has been out for a year and a half. It's not like they are going to make a steady amount of copies to prevent shmucks like you from playing chicken little on the message boards when your dumb ass threw a handfull of rocks overhead.

This thread should'nt have even been made because you should have dealt with your decission and had been enjoying the game when you got home.
