Took 26 PSone games in to trade in at Debenhams and got 99 quid.

I got:

Ready to Rumble Round 2
Gran Turismo 3
Smash Court Tennis Pro
Prmeier Manager - the PS2 one. (Which is pretty good)

Pretty good for a day's work.

I also brought some really cool expensive trainers and a CD.

Yeah! Go me!

NO WAY!

Ah, my life has a purpose. As well as buying a new PS2. My PS2 doesn't accept any disc, hell, it doesn't even recognise there's a disc IN there.

From that selection of games Asher, it looks like you jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Actually they don't follow this rule... twas funny. I bought three games.

Scrambled to open them, scrating all the boxes, tearing the boxes and overall wrecking them, then after 30 mins of playing I found one crashed everytime you tried to play, the other i didn't have the right graphics card and the third crashed aswell.


Then with the packaging in very poor condition two weeks later I returned with these and got a full refund to buy my most played on game of my life so far.

you realise, if each game cost you £30 that was £780 worth of games.

hell if they cost you £10 each thats still £260

Game irritate me.

I can't pinpoint any one thing about them, but something different arrivates me every time I think about them.

Most recently, it was when I noticed their "No fuss ten day return policy" which states that "If you are unsatisfied with any product, for any reason, you can return it to the store within ten days and get a exchange or full refund".

The small print then added that the product hads to be in perfect, unopened condition.

I mean, what the hell is the point in that?

Just about every store anywhere will exchange unopened items if you have the receipt (and aren't very strict about the number of days, either), yet Game are making a song and dance about it, as well as being deliberately misleading.

Gits.

Actually, it's a department store, sells lots of things!

The one I work at sells clothes, Games (under GAME), CDs and DVDs, TVs, furniture, hi-fis, lingerie (wahey!) and various other things...
