    I brought my DDE copy of NCAA back to Target and the lady unwrapped it. It was pretty lame because I was planning on selling it.

      I've tried this before, unsuccessful. I've tried it with Wal mart and they unwrap the game and check it for scratches. One time I got one that was still wrapped, but it was an exchange of a scratched Rainbow Six I think, and I didn't want to trade that one.

          I've done this several times, and never had trouble. I've found that video game stores tend to unwrap new games more often than say a WalMart or Target. Most of the people at WM/Target either aren't familiar, or just don't care about the copyright laws so they just give you the new game.

          I did this with NBA Ballers on PS2, I played it for a while, took it back said it wasn't working got a new copy that was shrink wrapped and had a friend take it back to another Walmart and get a different game. You should take it (APF) to Walmart, and try to find a woman (no offense) who looks like she wouldn't know much about video games.

            Do you know anyone who works at Kinko's, they could just re-shrink wrap the game for you. I used to do that with CD's and games. I had friends who worked there in high school.

                Before I had high speed internet. I would buy the cd's, open them, burn them and then take it back with help from my Kinko friends. I did a few video games like that as well. Didn't have much money as a High School kid, so it worked good for games I was on the fence about or ended up not enjoying.

                Not saying I did it 100 times, but probably 9 or 10 times.

                  When I first started buying CD's, there weren't such strict copyright laws, so I would drop $15 and get 5-6 cd's out of the deal. Once they started with all the copyright laws though, that quickly stopped. I knew finding a place to have them re-shrink wrapped was like the holy grail of returning products under false pretenses, but I just never had the means, nor knew the people that did it. I applaud you...DookieMowf.

                    So, you won't be getting Madden any time soon.

                        Can I take Madden back to Gamestop and tell them it sucks and to give me my money back or trade it for a different game at its full value? I'ts only been two days....and I'm more than willing to get into a shouting match.

                          Funny thing was, I took it to the store (2 ladies were at the counter) I was the only person there as they were about to close....she told me i couldn't return it for a new one blah blah blah...then she asked me if i had madden 08 yet and asked if I wanted to trade it in for it.... I was like, so i can trade it in for madden straight up ( i know, wishful thinking haha ).....she was like well no, you would get $20 trade in credit from APF for madden...the she said, "All-pro sucks anyways." She said, yeah, its cool you can play with the legends, but you can play with more legends in madden. blah blah blah....she had to be in her thirtys (she looked alot older than me and i'm almost 30)...i was thinking to myself, does EA have some sort of deal with these gaming stores or something....i have never seen them "push" any game out of the store like they push Madden out....but anyways....

                          I find this funny. Any lady older than you and working at a game store has got to be missing something upstairs and then to say APS sucks. Yeah there is a winner. Some man is sure lucky to have her.
