I'm suspecting that I won't be able to get a refund at all for it since I did use the Spider-man 2 code for the free game. So yeah. Just checking around if I can get a full refund or not. I'm seriously thinking not because most places always go well not all things are included, so no we can't give you a refund. What do you think?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Nah fam

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

TBH if you want store credit, they usually don't give a lot of pushback in my experience. You usually don't even need a receipt.

 

[Gaiff]

At my Best Buy, you can, but they deduct the retail price of the game from the total refunded.

 

[NickFire]

They might not even realize it.

 

[Cornbread78]

Store policy would say no because they can't get credit back from corporate for incomplete returns.


That being said, most Service Desk reps only check the serial number to make sure it matches and take them back anyway...

 

[saintjules]

Why are you returning a PS5?

 

[DrFigs]

kind of scummy to do, but they will not check

 

[//DEVIL//]

you're asking if you can steal a game. how are you even ok with this?

If you want to return it. find any Spider-Man 2 digital code on the Facebook marketplace or whatever buy-and-sell site in your area, put it in the box, and return it.

I honestly do not understand the morals of some people. if you weren't sure in the first place as an excuse you wanna give, you could have waited on using the code.

 

[iamvin22]

So you bought the console just to play the game and I'm assuming you either beat the game or you didn't and now you want to return the unit and get a full refund?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

What will actually likely happen is no one who works at the store will know or care at the point of return. However a few days later the code will be revoked and the game will vanish from your PS account. The bundle game code is attached to the serial number of the console and Sony handles the rest once a console serial number is marked as a returned item.

 

[David B]

Why are you returning a PS5?

It plays PS4 games with really bad frame rate. So I'm keeping my PS5 digital original console with volcanic red plates instead as it doesn't have PS4 game problems.

I doubt it will be revoked unless this is a new thing.

Wait ... You believe that the new PS5 slim is slower at playing PS4 games in comatibility mode than the previous model???

 

[GHG]

OP is the guy who is always asking questions about rebuying consoles FWIW.

Maybe this is the grift.

 

[kruis]

... and keep the digital game.

 

[David B]

Yeah my PS5 digital original no problems. But I played PS4 COD games in the PS5 slim disc console and the frame rate was horrible. Guys freezing in the air, black out areas and colors coming in slowly, it was bad.

 

[Jayjayhd34]

Maybe just need replacement model sounds faulty unit and yes they have replace or refund if its faulty.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Crappy thing to do OP but its Walmart. They will not check. They will just resell it to another person who will think they have Spider-Man for free and basically get screwed.
Then they will return it.

thats how a friend got all the free GPU games from nvidia and amd

In the past, Wal-Mart accepted everything without a receipt in my area. Now they ask you proof of purchase.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Yeah, it's been a long time since I had to return anything there, so they may have changed the policy.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Sounds like stealing to me. If being legit, then insist they take out the value of the game code from the refund.

[HeisenbergFX4]

Can you?

Likely the Walmart worker will never check for the code and you will be fine

The question you should ask is do I feel right doing this?

 

[Quantum253]

kind of scummy to do, but they will not check

Why is that scummy? You should still be able to return a product even if it contains a digital code. They should reduce the return on the game value. If retailers don't like it, they should push for non-digital bundles then.

 

[Hudo]

They might not even realize it.

This.

Just try it OP. And hightail outta there before they realize they've been played. Fuck 'em.

 

[reinking]

Holly crap are you serious? Please get back on this matter.

If you returned the console that came with the bundle why would you be upset if they took back the other part of the bundle? If you return the console and get to keep it, be happy. If you return the console and they revoke it, you're out nothing. Nobody owes you a free game because you didn't like your purchase decision.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Yeah my PS5 digital original no problems. But I played PS4 COD games in the PS5 slim disc console and the frame rate was horrible. Guys freezing in the air, black out areas and colors coming in slowly, it was bad.

Are you upset that the game would be removed?

COD games for PS4 can be updated for free for PS5.

 

[cormack12]

Not sure where you're from. In UK doubt a supermarket would check to be honest. But you're just being shitty to others. You're on a forum where anyone could potentially be a victim of this

Just buy the physical game and chuck it in the box if you care about it.

 

[rofif]

I returned psvr2 even though I used horizon code and played it. I just paid for the difference.
But it's europe

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Yup. OP has odd GAF threads and posts. His history is almost all related to buying or reselling systems, or what system should I buy?

Real-time video of the OP.

 

[David B]

Yo all, I returned it and got my full cash back!

 

[cormack12]

Yo all, I returned it and got my full cash back!

I've boughten about 5 gaming PCs last year. Not being stupid and buying again. I can not be my old self anymore.

You can buy another PC now.

 

[David B]

You can buy another PC now.

Um, I don't think so. I bought an M3 iMac in December, not returning it, no selling it, not being stupid anymore. I ain't buying nothing but games and food from now on.

 

[simpatico]

Sir this is a NeoGAF

 

[bender]

… not being stupid anymore.

 

[Calverz]

Um, I don't think so. I bought an M3 iMac in December, not returning it, no selling it, not being stupid anymore. I ain't buying nothing but games and food from now on.

Food? What a waste of money.

 

[King Dazzar]

OP in layman's terms: Please everybody I want to do a dodgy with my new toy, please can you all tell me if I'll get away with it?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Did a little Google.

[Mr.Phoenix]

Funny how you didn't know you were doing something stupid buying a PS5 until after you finished the game it came with.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Buy the game on the psn store and write the new code on the paper with a red sharpie. Then write sorry next to it. Return successfully done

 

[proandrad]

It’s Walmart the people working there will not care as long as the ps5 is in there.

 

[Danknugz]

Holly crap are you serious? Please get back on this matter.

he said likely, he's just try using to scare you because he paid 70$ for his copy. just return it it will be fine lmao

 

[demigod]

Bro out here asking GAF if its ok to justify him stealing.
