Thats what i said but the dude reckoned they just ring the closest Kmart which was literally about 100 metres up the arcade. Ive never price matched before so was unsure of what the stipulations are.

dingoboy said: 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 do it all the time, if the policy is there to use, why not use it to its fullest? Or take advantage of it

They do start to ask questions if the same person see's the same person returning a game in 3-4 days time though. Its usually "Not you again, not happy with this one either?" Lol!

It probably is hard, depends on who serves you, im surprised they havent told me to stop yet so i might as well continue it. Uncharted is a great game, one of the few titles i was happy to keep.

Well, its there own fault for having the 7 day return policy

Although they always ask me why i'm returning it.......

Lol, use it as much as you can, you're not always going to get the same person when you go back there each week and if you do, last resort use something like "unwanted gift" excuses

"I'm returning it becuase its ****

So i'll use it if i damn well want to!

Yeah same, i do actually keep some games

Uncharted, COD4, RFOM and R&C:TOD, but return the ones i know i wont play again, thanks again EB games, for allowing me a full refund of a game i happily completed and thanks for being total suckers

Good doing business with you, lol!

Yeah Krakenia i usually pick games i know will be hardcore

If i'm not sure about one, its renting time!

I buy most of my games online

Its cheaper and you dont have to wait for them to be released here

But i agree, thanks EB for the return policy!

You need to be careful with other stores though, staff at Harvey Norman and places like Dick Smith Powerhouse do actually have brains, although small. They will ignore any excuses you throw at them, even if it seems believable, they usually dont buy it and you're pretty much screwed, so go the ways of EB for your games. I agree, ebay is also a great option

Try amazon, play asia or DVDCrave

There the best

Maybe the staff at EB just dont care

Krakenia says:

Yeah DVDCrave i find are a very reliable source, same applies with Play-Asia, never purchased from Amazon, so im not too sure about them. As for EB and there stoner staff? They probably do care, the more older serious types would, but the pimply faced prom teens with the messy hair probably dont know the meaning of the word policy, hence why so many of my strange excuses gets past them

For my sake, i hope they dont get fired lol!

I normally finish games within a few hours, or at least a day, And yes i've finished Extremely hard games in these few hours aswell ;p

I only really ever keep a game if it can amuse me time and time again, or if it's Multiplayer is interesting.

I was told recently that returning a game for any reason during the 7 day trial period is fine

So your not "screwing Eb games" becuase they have the return policy so you CAN do that

I wouldnt say i take advantage of the 7 day return policy, but i definitely use it instead of renting games and usually, it pays off with good results

and like GTADude said, if the policy is to return a game in 7 days, then you're not really screwing them at all......ok that sounded wrong

Hey Wutang mate, how have you been? I highly doubt you can trade a U.S PS3 Wutang mate, but its worth a try regardless. Without sounding too harsh, EB staff can be such a confused bunch of individuals they probably wouldnt even know the difference

Hey Callan! I'm great, and yourself?

The only difference is in the bottom left corner:

"MATURE 17+ CONTENT RATED BY ESRB" instead of "MA 15+ RESTRICTED"

Does EB Games usually rip you off when you're trading in your games?

Believe me, if EB could get away with ripping you off, then they sure is hell will, they try it with me quite often with pre owned games, but it doesnt work

EB is good because of the Variety of games and the amount they have. But JB Hi-Fi has better prices.
