    Yeah I would think they would have stopped it too, but it's been this way for years. I actually just started doing this again. Just picked up Ace Combat this weekend and I'll be trading it in for Ratchet & Clank or UT3 next weekend. It's not be fault if they are still supported a busted system

        i actually was looking for MLB The Show 07 to rent at Blockbuster...anyway, i already have 07 for the PS2, but wanted my buddy to see The Show in action on the PS3.....sooo, all the local Blockbusters didnt have The Show and then i remembered GameStop. i went over to the local GameStop, bought The Show 07 used, played it with my buddy, and then returned it a couple days later for a full refund. a nice rental with a $35 deposit you get back upon return...cant beat that.

          The store I worked for people hardly bought used because they were afraid it may not work. Not alot of people knew about the 7 day grace period.

            Let's face a fact: As much as Gamestop has shafted most of us on trade-ins, they deserve a bit of the shaft as well.

In other words how long will they offer SP3 before they move on to the next must see BR movie or will they milk this for the next 6 months.
                  Dell Canada was selling the 40 GB version for $369 and that included a couple games and HDMI cable I think. You should see if they still offer it.

                  Edit: Not as great a deal now at $400 but it still includes Spidey 3, the new Ratchet and Clank game and an HDMI cable.

                      The difference in the "New" games were that once they brought them back they could no longer sell as New and lost money. That's why that was stopped. Having this policy with used is a win win. Some will get returned but the majority are kept and they get double/triple etc. money for the same copy of a game.
                      I feel the need to ask, how exactly are they gaining anything by reselling the game multiple times? You buy it for 45.00, they refund you 45.00 then they resell it for 45.00, unless they mark the price higher on each sale then they are simply making their money and then giving it back over and over again, they arent actually gaining anyhing extra by reselling it each time.

                        Yea. Whenever you select the download there should be an option to select "Download in background" or something to that effect.

                          I said 50% or more will not return the used game so they: sold it new 59.99. Get it back via trade in value they paid out - (18-25 dollars.) Resell the same game to someone else for 54.99.

                          Figuring just once for a game: 59.99 + 54.99= 114.98 then - the trade value they dished out of lets just say 25.00, for a total of 89.98 they got for essentially one game.

                          Eventually a good amount of these people will trade the game back in after 7 days and EB/GS then pays out another 18-25 to get the game back again to resell again(34.99-54.99) for more profit.
