just wondering how may people do dogys and buy a game and then take it back within the 7 day return period and swap it for another..
is it no questions asked or if you do it too often do they start to notice and stop doing it anybody know.

I don't think they would ask any questions.
It's their policy ... something that they offer to consumers.

We should be able to use it however we feel like it ...
If they don't like it, then don't offer it ...

I have returned a hell of a lot of games over the years, and EB haven't said anything.
And no, they dont ask why you're returning it.

i read in one of their catalogs that it was a 7 day 'trial' period. therefore you can play the game/s for as much as you want in the seven day period and return with now questions asked.

Crazy idea ... if it takes me 10 estimated days to complete this game:

Buy the game, play for 4~5 days. Return.
Buy the game again, play for another 4~5 days. Return.

Game completed. Money back in the pocket ...

Damn that's a crazy idea. I should've done that for the Simpsons Game!! xD

i don't do it because i hardly ever buy from EB but i know a guy who does it regulary. If thats their policy they can't say no, wether it's right or wrong to do it all the time.

Yes, that is true, so if you return a game and they ask why, you dont have to answer

I returned a PC game once, though only because it didn't run well even though I met the system requirements.

I tend to buy my games from JB or department stores as they are often cheaper. But yeah, they cannot say anything, you could have a different game every week of the year if you were so inlined.

i dont think youre actually screwing them, cos they would still pass off that game as brand new to the next person, and still get 90-110 for it (you still get screwed even more so the next person)

even if you buy online at $70 or so and sell it on ebay if you dont like it and buy another game youre still better off and EB dont get a $$ from you.

When I saw the title "screwing eb games", I was thinking of:

Buying a few copies of Wii Play for like $10 each, and then using them to trade-in for newer Wii games or something haha xD

That's how my mate got a copy of Guitar Hero III and two guitars lol. I seriously screwed EB Games up haha!

I trade games back all the time to EB, they dont care at all, also i always price match and they never asked questions, they where selling COD 4 for $120 and i just walk in, say Big W had it for $78.40, don't show any evidence and i walk out happy

Man, when I went to EB Games to purchase Singstar on the day of its release ... I showed the guy Myer's catalogue and wanted him to match the price. But the guy was such a tight arse. Kept asking if Myer had stock of it, I'm like "yea ... of course". I finally got it in the end, but damn I wasn't 100% happy at EB.

I bought Ratchet & Clank from EB Games few weeks ago. I've finished it, and I want to sell it back to them, is this possible? Approx. how much will I get back?

EB Price Matching

Wouldnt you know it.. venture up to Kmart Airport WEst today in Melbourne to pickup Resistance and they have sold out.. well fair enough as i thought there was a chance that may happen.

I then head to EB Games for them to price match at $50... what i didnt know then is that they ring Kmart to ensure they have it in stock so they ring Kmart Airport West and are told they have none in stock, so EB games refuse to price match for me and i miss out.

DOH... is that always the policy with price matching as ive never really done it before.

Cheers guys.

No wonder the guy that was serving me at EB was so uptight. He didn't call them up though, he just went back and reluctantly sold the copy of Singstar to me ...
