You know when u buy a used game at game stop they say there supposed to be guaranteed to work but i had to go back there 3 times cause the games i got wouldnt work i mean do they check and play them to see if they work? and anyone on this site that buys used games from gamestop do u have any problems with used games from there?

their "guarantee" is a set period of time where you can bring the game back and exchange it if the game doesnt work

Pizza guys are getting worse and worse looking. I guess all the good ones went into porn.

I got a crack disc,  Can't get to the last level.  When I order online they sent me a disc with a deep-ass scrtach on it, the voice-acting doesn't work.

 

To answer your question: Yes, every game works but not completely.

But gamestop you can walk back into the store and say.... hey. I bought this game. It doesn't work. Here's the receipt. Gimme another copy. Don't have another used copy? Gimme store credit. Thanks. Bye.

and they will. I don't understand this thread.

Gamestop has tested newer games I brought in, obviously cause they are a higher dollar sell. Older games they just do a visual inspection on.   But they do have the buyers remorse time period for used games that you can bring them back to the store and get your money back, or defects they take back too.  I don't really get what is going on though here.

Dude, periods.  Use them.  Your sentence structure is horrible.  I can't tell where something starts and ends.  And its unfortunate you had to go back 3 times, but they can't check every single game by installing them on 360 hard drives or running them on a computer.  It's just not logical for a company to pay someone to check out 4.99 to 19.99 games that are a dime a dozen, especially when they are making a killing buying said games for 1 dollar.  It's easier for them to sell them, and if they come back as unplayable, put another in your hands and go along.  If you have a problem with that, don't use the store, use goozex or another outlet.

Also, there is the resurfacing idea at your local radioshack or whatever, i know many people, including myself who took an old game there, they resurfaced it, and good as new. I also know people who use the toothpaste and or lighter trick, and they work like new to. Just some ideas to put in the back of your mind.

The fact that you don't have to pay for each copy you are getting is the extent of Gamestop's guarantee. In my experience from Gamestop, the only time they have tested anything is when I brought in a console. No game I've brought in, no matter how new was ever tested.

My last trip there I brought in about 10-12 games and all they did was open each case to make sure there was a disc inside, they didn't even bother to look at the bottom of the discs.

Catastrophic

Thats why I don't buy used from Gamestop, or in this case I don't buy from them at ALL anymore
