Box? Check. Manual? Check. The disc looks good. No scratches or anything. Looks like it’s all here, so I’ll take it.
That’s usually how it goes, but it’s possible that you’re still missing something. No, it’s not the Gamecube Odama microphone. It’s the DLC that would be found in the new version of the same game. That free DLC that comes with new games is not in the box, and you probably can’t get it again.
UK retailer GAME is including a warning to buyers of their used games now.
“We have been developing a policy for notifying customers at the point of purchase which was implemented last week in-store,” a GAME spokesperson told MCV.
“Pre-owned copies of applicable titles have stickers on them saying ‘check with staff for availability of downloadable content’, giving staff the chance to explain clearly the difference so that our customers understand the benefits of buying both pre-owned and mint.”
Nice. All used game retailers should do this. The less seasoned gamers may not realize that they’re missing out on something.
