I was at EB tonight exchanging NCAA CBB 2k3 for NBA 2k3, and the guy working there told me that he would let me trade in that game, but no more in the future. He said that he recieved a memo from EB HQ earlier today that said that they will no longer allow swapping of games in 10 day period anymore. They will only offer exchanges for the exact same product if the one purchased is defective.
I understand this policy, but I am sad to see it. Some games are never shipped to rental stores and you have to read reviews and go out on a limb and try them by buying them. If you don't like it, and don't have a way to sell over the net (like me) you are stuck with the game even though you may hate it. Certainly puts a new look on the baseball game buying season for me. I will have to hope that Blockbuster gets them all in. Last year I had a heck of a time finding WSB for XBox and HH for ps2 in video stores.
Has anyone else tried to return a game recently and heard the same or is this old news to you all? I know it isn't just me that they are blocking because i don't return games that often, only 3 that I can remember out of several purchases.
