However, it turns out that he already got Skyrim for his birthday. So I went back to return it to Gamestop and the manager wouldn't take the game back because he doesn't take played new games back. I told him that nobody played the game but he didn't care, he said the stickers were off and he couldn't tell if it was played or not since the box was open (because gamestop is run by a bunch of tards who can't keep their stock in the back and order display cases). Basically we got in a long argument and he refused to give me a refund. I told him that he was losing a customer for life and all he had to say was, "That's cool bro". I am never going back to gamestop again.
That "new" copy was probably played by an employee anyway. And they re shrink wrapped it. Common of Gamestop
I used to work for Gamestop and I would have gladly returned the copy for you. That employee was just an immature unintelligent moron.
Funny story why I left Gamestop, I totally f*cked them over.
At LAmestop we were allowed to borrow games to play them so that we knew how to fondle people into buying crap.
So I started taking out a game everyday so that I can make copies of them. Im talking about all systems, next gen and retro.
I sold a couple to fellow people with hacked consoles, nothing worth paying for anyway.
SO my district manager was like "Why did you take out 70 games?? Are you pirating??!!?"
He was a jerk to begin with so I got fed up with him, I dont care about minimum wage shit as I work another job that pays much much more.
So I got up in his face. He was really short, and said Yeah Im copying them. WTF are you going to do about it.
I guess I was very intimidating and he banned me from taking games out.
So one week he really needed me to work because he had fired some game advisors. I said yeah sure.
I never showed up and when he called me to look for me, I told him what was what about how he treats his employees and I quit right then and there.
Idiot was left running the store by himself. I then spoke to the store manager after she got back from vacation and she said his stats (gamestop keeps job performance stats) were horrible, he also had some complaints.
I then called his boss which was the regional manager, and told her about his performance along with his attitude towards people and employees and got the sh*thead fired.
I can't stand corporate idiots.
Well anyway, yeah Gamestop is a POS company. Never buy from them. Only buy used games, copy them, and bring them back.
Ooo off topic sorry.
The thing that made me upset today was I was playing In The Groove at a local arcade and I fell off the machine while playing this crazy song.
IF you dont know what In The Groove is, here is a video of me playing it at that Arcade.

I never buy games like that any more, they argue it was opened even if you never played if you ever have to take it back. I'm also not surprised by the "that's cool bro" attitude, but that is largely the result of the company. The employees have no stake in the company beyond keeping their job and being fired. They're barely paid a nickel above minimum wage and are treated like trash by the company. As a result, they don't care in the least if the company loses a good customer as it is no skin off their backs. Gamestop blatantly reminds their employees how worthless and disposable they are so they incorporate that attitude into everything they do.
