I picked up a sweet deal about a week ago; Gamestop's 75% off all DVD's and Blu-ray sale. One of the stores across from mine had some very good Blu-rays for a couple dollars each. I couldn't pass this up.
So I pick up Iron Man and 300, both in perfect condition (not scratches, no stickers, no nothin'). But the third, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Overly Long Title, was messed up to hell. So I thought of a solution; switch it up at Wal-Mart. I love their return policy, especially since I'm a collector. Return your fucked up item, no receipt needed, and they will swap it for a new one. Its that easy!
I know this is probably old hat for some of you, but I've never had to use it before. So today I went home with my sticker-free Blu-Ray, and I am glad.

Doubtful considering they have no way to prove where it was bought from. What you could of done which I've also done before with broken things. Is go and purchase a new one from wal-mart, then head home and switch out the new for the busted, then go back and return the item as defective.
THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVES! Peanut butter and jelly is cheap and doesn't taste like sink water and noodles.
Peanut butter and jelly WITH bread would cost about 6 or 7 dollars in total.
Ramen is about 5 packs for a dollar or two at most.
Yes, but how many sandwiches can you make?
Also, again. It doesn't taste like genitals.
You have vastly overestimated the fine people at walmart.
Have a nice day.
It does taste like genitals but that is why I buy it.
Are you talking through experience or through a friend of a friend? :P
Yes it does, but wal-mart is to fucking stupid to bother checking said numbers and they don't take down information when you return an item. This is wal-mart were talking about here not some high profile electronics store like best buy. I've worked at Wal-Mart and the fact of the matter is wal-mart will take back anything without receipt, why? Because they turn around and resell the item in the clearance section or as new, even if it was returned as defective(mostly in the hopes the customer is to lazy to return the item or sends it off under manufacture warranty).
What if I return an unopened game (with the plastic and such, from another store. Can I get the moneyz?
I believe it's a swap for the exact same product.
No moneyz back.
Actually if its new and unopened, just tell them it was a gift but you weren't given a receipt and you don't want it, they will gladly give you a gift card or if its a game they will allow you to exchange for something else.
Persecuted? Is Wal-Mart going to make fun of your taking advantage of them?
Please purchase a dictionary.
per⋅se⋅cute /ˈpɜrsɪˌkyut/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [pur-si-kyoot]
–verb (used with object), -cut⋅ed, -cut⋅ing.
1. to pursue with harassing or oppressive treatment, esp. because of religion, race, or beliefs; harass persistently.
2. to annoy or trouble persistently.
Basically Wal-Mart will make a big deal out of it and take legal action one day. I am not talking about the employees, they are not very quick and even if they do scan your serial number on a console(say Xbox 360) you can just swap the serial stickers on two 360's in order to return a broken 360 when they think you are returning the one you just bought from them. It works.
Why couldn't you just take it back to Gamestop and have them swap it out for another used copy?
They do have a 30 day guarantee that it'll work. If that store couldn't replace it since it was used, they probably could've called around for you and found you a better replacement.
Just seems like you went through a lot of effort for no good reason, when Gamestop was going to warranty your used movie no matter what.
ask me how many time a CSM Fudged up 360 returns only to get a box filled with either al old xbox or a couple of phone books
I believe the word you are looking for is "prosecute." Wal-Mart will not annoy you with lawsuits, and your religion, race, and beliefs would have nothing to do with it.
I'm pretty sure Gamestop only does 7 days for used stuff, and I'm willing to bet that unless the person likes you/isn't a dick, they don't have to take it back if it's already opened. I used to work there - and yes they fuck you.
I should have said prosecute, but I was using the second definition anyways, not the first.
Ramen is like 15 cents a pack buddy!
