I don't know if this was mentioned before, but GS is also accepting returns for pissed off Deus Ex customers.

One of the many reasons why I only purchase "used" games from Gamestop.

@LightyKD
it's great to know that OnLive works that well. I wish I could use it over here, at least to give it a try

sounds awesome

@hatredg0d
maybe they removed the code first because they weren't able to reach out SE and talk about the situation earlier? Still sounds dumb anyways

GameStop is actually one of the stores that makes game sell harder for the companies that creates them. The game companies only earn the money when people buy completely new game from the store while GameStop takes all the profit if people buy them used.

Why does this not supprise me in the least bit.

I can understand the fact that it is a competitors coupon, but it's still somewhat underhanded of them.

I mean, if the Boxart listed said Coupon as being inside and you opened it and there was no coupon, you'd be madder than a bull in a china shop, right?

thankfully i don't support gamestop...sadly i am on a gamestop service....
after hearing this i hafta say i am proud i never buy from gamestop

Surprised they got away with this. But hey, if I'm buying a game, I expect shrink wrap and all. I expect the case to not be touched by fingers except for those that packaged it. I like the shrink wrap, gives games that amazing smell. And after opening up the case and taking out the coupon, no matter how you look at it, the game is no longer new, at all.

Hey, you guys at least have a choice of buying at a store. Games in Sweden are SO expensive, my only options is shipping overseas.
