    Has anybody ever bought games from Blockbuster/Hollywood Video

    Just curious. They have a few good deals on some pre-played games and I thought of picking one or 2 up soon.

    Do they play well or are they scratched all to hell? Anybody have good/bad experiences with them?

    I've bought movies from there before, and they're always fine.

      They're fine, they come with a 30 day guarantee I believe. Ask an employee, I bought a few old Xbox games there and they've all worked fine.

        probably depends on the specific store. I bought 5 or so xbox games from a blockbuster years ago, and they all came with some ******* sticker on top of the disk marking the disk as blockbuster property. I thought they would be no big deal.

        The sticker covered the whole disk, was made of plastic, and made it hard for the xbox to read. You couldn't remove it either, it was one of those stickers that flakes off and leaves a mess when you try to "tamper" with it.

        i haven't bought anything from a blockbuster since. I'm sure they either changed their company policy, or it was just one store that did that, but either way..they're dead to me.

          Just ask to see the disks if scratches bother you.

          I buy all my movies there and just keep opening them until I find one mint to near mint.

            I have, and I haven't had any issues. Blockbuster also has a better trade in value than the local Gamestop here. On average, it's about 5-10 dollars more.
            Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

              I've bought plenty from there and they've all been fine. Just look at the back of the disc before they put it in the case.

                I have, they have all been good as gold. SO don't worry or ask an employee to see the disk before you actually purchase it

                  Does anyone know where I can get replacement green DVD-cases for XBOX and XBOX360 games? I've been buying some used games lately, and some of the cases are in pretty bad shape.

                      You can always return them if they're messed up.

                          Walmart usually carries DVD cases, they won't be green, if that matters to you... but I think they're like 5 for $9.98 or so... I'd check there if I were you.
