The first link, I shall have to read it a bit more carefully but yeah that does not seem ideal.

On the second link the full story is missing and I can not find anything cached anywhere.

[video] And he did put credible sources in the video description.

That cunt is still around? Anyway that is not cheating people, that is basic business.

Listen people.

Gamestop does not have to accept your trade ins at all. Think of GameStop as a regular store such as Walmart, Target etc...Their return policy is bullshit. Not that many stores out there give you 7 days to return a game you bought for a full refund no questions ask. Not a single electronic super market out there allows you to return game that aren't open. So why complain about Gs, just because they don't give you $30 per every game you trade in?

I use to think that way then it hit me they don't have to do trade ins, they could be a full out New game only store and say no to every single game you bring in if they wanted. Be thankful that theres a chain of stores you can at least return used games in at and get a little bit of money back.

But in all fairness, Gamestop employees aren't all that smart. There's videos of people selling them banned 360 consoles. They can't even recomend me a good game when I go in they just go by what their charts or bosses tell them to suggest. I remember going in to sale a ipod touch 4gen and they only offered me $30 bucks for it.

Really if you wanna get free games just exploit your 360 and you'll never have to walk into gamestop again.

You have got to be kidding. Selling a new reprint, marking it as used, and selling it for almost double MSRP is basic business? Sounds a lot like cheating people to me...

Dude, way too fucking far. He cheated someone, not killed them. Shame on you for that. Imagine what it would feel like if someone said that to you.

Spoiler: WARNING. Spoiler inside!

I don't actually want him to kill himself, it was a joke.

Not only that but I also said it because I agree with Pedeadstrian's post about the OP wanting to see the outcome of his little experiment. I think that's a really sick excuse for what he did. I got the idea for the joke from something that I read in my local newspaper a few years ago. Some kid jumped of a building because ''he wanted to see what would happen''. I mean that's crazy and the OP is no better than the kid if you ask me.

Gamestop's stock, gamestop not under contract to sell for a price, laws to say selling used stuff as new is tricky but new stuff as used is quite acceptable... not seeing the problem.

There's a difference between cheating people out of money and being a completely legal-compliant douche. This would be a case of the latter.

I was looking for faults in big businesses and went to 4 Gamestops doing the same thing

"i wasn't planning on doing it again anyway"
(claims to have gone to 4 Gamestops)
You're a pathological liar as well, it seems.

Please "Like" this post if you think that there should be a script which disables videos of that man and automatically awards Warn points to forum members who post them.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours Sincerely,

I remember seeing his Micro review of a few years ago. He grew a dirty mouth o.O

I thought that was his story to cover it up, not what he was really doing. Could have misread it, tho.

 

[chrisrlink]

I didn't really read past the fourth page of the previous thread because it definitely turned into flaming IMO but anyways to answer some inquiries I read.

1) I was asking for opinion, but over half the time it was basically "You immoral douchedouche asshole fraud dickhead".

2)It was for personal gain, yes, but I just wanted to see the outcome.

For all you dickheads I went back into the Gamestop yesterday and said that the copy was fake (I made up a story about why) and he asked for my ID and scanned it and then told me someone actually bought it and to come in tomorrow around 6. I went back in today and he returned my game and said he can't take anymore trade-ins from me but I told him i'd pay for it (which I did So i'm fine with them now). Then I proceeded to ask questions about when stuff like this happens and heres how it works:

Gamestop actually loses a lot in any case of something like this. The Manager has to call a lawyer for Loss Prevention. It's basically them having to open a case about being dealed "Counterfeit Material" (Thats the term he used) and it takes almost a week for them to be compensated for any amount on top of their insurance prices being increased every instance it happens. The reason the insurance increases is because the only way stuff like that can happen is from laziness, they actually ARE supposed to test every game that comes in the same day but no stores ever really do especially if it's a trusted customer. What's even worse is the person that gave them the game can't actually get into any trouble because there's no case to be filed against them. The worst that can happen is a phone call and no longer being able to do trade-ins at that specific store. They can't ban them from the store or anything at all because technically the customer can sue for that.

So in other words for the numbnuts who said Gamestop doesn't get boned the person who bought it does, lol, wrong.

BAH forget about everyone. Who are they to talk about moral and that stuff when they are in a Hacking website?

I also did something like that but with a PS3 Slim. My PS3 turned-off by itself. I noticed that the longer it wasn't used the longer it stayed on before turning-off by itself. So I didn't used it and even disconnected it from the wall for 3 days and then went to Gamestop and gave it in Trade-in. The same day I went to other gamestop and bought another PS3 with the credit I got from the trade-in of the PS3.

 

[chrisrlink]

they're closed today (sunday) but my dad'll go there tomorrow

Who are you to decide if whether or not people can talk about morals on a hacking site? It's their choice, they should be able to say whatever the hell they want.

This thread is starting to feel like 4chan. I'm just not acknowledging all the low-IQ replies, there isn't an argument to be had here that's why i'm not understanding the flaming. I did it, End of story, whining at me for doing something is the comparison of talking to a wall, it's not going to do anything or change anything. Nd yeah that was the story, I just didn't post it only on here.

That's not entirely the same thing. When 360's first began getting RROD a lot of people did that, same with the PS3 and YLOD. Pats to you for avoiding the refurbishing fee lol. Agreed though to, using a hacking website is basically comparible to what I did without the screwing over someone else part.
