You're a thief and trying to justify it by saying COD ran poorly in BC, but then just describe you being bad at COD and coping, so you're a thief and bad at multiplayer shooters.

Can I return a PS5 slim to Walmart even though I used the included Spider-man 2 code?

I get it, but you don't want to buy them again, I've gotta be honest with you, ABK current state with its games and consoles are horrible, just buy the best version and it doesn't matter whether you playing online with your friends or not, it's better to have better experience with fewer players than having more players with modest experience, as you get older, it becomes harder to keep up with your online friends and you get fewer time with this hobby, playing with strangers shouldn't bother you anymore.

Yeah that just sounds like a buggered console, contact Sony and they’ll send a replacement. Or Walmart will just replace it. There’s no way that’d be a common issue, we’d have heard about it by now all over this forum.

Here’s what I feel is gonna happen:
Walmart is going to put it back out on the shelf. Someone else is going to buy it. That poor person is going to discover that the Spider-Man redeem code doesn’t work. Then they too are going to return the PS5 and tell Walmart why.
Then Walmart’s going to look and see who previously returned it (you), and you’re going to be flagged

you are being overly dramatic here and it is annoying. He bought a product used it and wants to return it all that is a consumer right and you know that. Sony put in a digital code instead of a disk which makes the return uncomfortable, but they chose that not him. A store nor a customer should be held to such nonsense just because a game is a download instead of a disk. Sony could have developed a system to revert the license, but they were too lazy because they want the sale to be final. Why you would call someone a thief to defend a clearly anti consumer move by a large corporation? Consumers have the right to return things if they change their minds, that is the cost of doing business.

Fuck this, its hilarious!!!!
IF he bought it for BC PS4 games, WHY first redeem the code I ask?
Yeah...... Exactly. C'mon bro.. C'mon.

One of the best troll of 2024 not even 12 days in.
I could spend hours analysing the post and i still would not be able to tell if you're serious or not.
Edit : Yeah about the retroactive ban, U Unknown Soldier is right.
You'll also have all your gaming right revoked when they find how much of a scoundrel you are.
That means no more game award voting, complete prohibition of game trailer watching on ign youtube channel, and of course public shaming by slimysnake and his mob of twitter trolls.

Is this an early April fools joke? You can tell the guy was obviously trying to get the code for free. He already has a PS5 and wanted SM2. And that was part of the package he paid for.
Instead of trying to sell the console off like a normal person. He posted online about his crime and asked for validation for returning, and if it would be possible. When he was called out for it, made the excuse that PS4 games run badly on it. And the digital version doesn't somehow?? More-like he got the code from inside the box and returned the PS5, without opening or using the console. Thats the grift.
If he was honest he could've highlighted that the code was used and that would've at least made it so he paid for something instead of trying to get something for free, that obviously is part of the package.

And if his digital PS5 doesnt have issues:
1. Why buy a PS5 disc version?
2. How did he test the PS4 discs in a DIGITAL ps5 to come to that conclusion?
Yeah, TC is full of shit and a fucking thief.

Hey OP here's a BC compatible PS4 game for ya!!
Also if the PS5 was faulty, OP could have let Walmart swap it out and at least keep 1 complete set at the store for them to claim warranty. But nooooooooo he instantly returned it.
Another red flag.
Complete roundup summary:
1. OP has a DIGITAL ps5 which doesnt have any issues with ps4 DISC games. (What kind of sorcery is this?)
2. OP "bought a PS5 disc for bc with PS4 disc games" *cough, cough*
3. OP firstly redeemed the code for SM2 before allegedly testing his PS4 discs. OH COME ON!!!!!
4. OP didn't give Walmart a chance to swap it directly under DOA rules. Resulting in the store having an incomplete set. Ergo he lied to Walmart about why he returned it and lied to our face. No other option. <- This one stinks even if the rest is true. Which it obviously isn't.
Simple additions: Point 1 - 4 combined = OP IS A FUCKING FREELOADING PIECE OF SHIT.
Yeah, anyone who still belives OP is oblivious.

Whose betting this guy ran the og ps4 version on his disc console and the updated ps5 version on his digital, which probably would've downloaded without him noticing.
(That's assuming anything from this ridiculous OP even happened)
I guess anything to justify theft though no matter how flimsy.

Don’t mention it, they usually don’t ask questions.
As far as I know you wouldn’t be fucking someone lease over as they just return the items back to the manufacture.

Was it a humblebrag gone wrong?
If he’s a self proclaimed INFJ and is truly thoughtful and feeling etc, is there any chance he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong?
Does he realize that if someone buys that unit and returns it because it’s missing the SM2 code that the next time the OP shops at Walmart they’ll know to ban him from shopping there?

Do keep up, the 'reason' for returning the slim was his ps4 CoD didn't play right.

Nah, his story is so incoherent it cant possibly be true. Guess its just a cry for attention that backfired straight up his ass.
Nowhere at one point did he clarify things with some coherent writing. He only added more doubt on the subject. Its clear as day.
And hiding behind his self proclaimed INFJ way of thinking is just deferring attention to something else and saying No Im an Angel!! Come on!!!

I'm gonna be blunt here :
It's actually amazing the gall some people have, it's like, having absolute zero self-awareness and no shame whatsoever at the same time to the point of actually having THE NERVE to post shit like this online and trying to excuse it with half-arsed excuses...
"The PS5 slim i just got doesn't play games the same as the other PS5 DE that i also happen to have" - like, fuckin' seriously? are you expecting people to believe that shit ?
This is not only a scummy practice but...a literal scam, guy buys product to redeem included voucher, uses voucher, tries to return product, like, seriously ? How the fuck are you not banned yet by posting such nonsense and actually admitting (in a non-direct way obviously) that you committed fraud ? Are we really at that point ? I lost a couple of braincells by reading this topic ffs.
The fucking nerve some people have - it reminds me of a recent event on Amazon where a guy posted a 1-star review of a seller with the excuse "they won't sell/ship to me anymore ! " to which the seller replied "user has been abusing our 40 days return policy and has already received 10 items from us free of charge" (Seller is located in the US and has a "wait 4 weeks maximum as to receive our product for non US residents after which you can receive an immediate refund).Fucking guy was basically scamming the seller/company systematically but had the actual nerve to post a 1-star review, i mean, this shit writes itself...

The topic reminds me of something that happened nearly 20 years ago...
So I used to buy blank cd's in Lidl (supermarket chain) at the time. They were cheap and good quality. Talking like 3 euro or something for a 5 pack. They even came in individual jewel cases.
I buy a pack one day and when I get home to open them I see they were already burned and someone wrote their track list on the paper inlay. All 5 of them used. So that means someone went to the trouble of grabbing previously burned lidl disks they bought, stuffing them back in the cardboard packaging, going up to someone working on the till... all to get a mere 3 euro refund. Most likely saying how they were still brand new as Lidl staff just put it back on the shelf for me to buy.
Three. Stinking. Euro. If people are doing that, surely bringing back consoles to get a free game worth 75 euro, happens every day of the week.

I believe if you return an opened product they deduct 15%?
I bought a projector in Best buy, with the idea of returning, because it was cheaper than renting, and I remember they would keep 15% of the value, which was an amazing deal tbh.
But the true question is, how can they know you've used it?

I definitely think these kinds of cases skyrockets now for digital PS5 consumers:
1. Global economic slump and higher costs generally
2. Digital PS5 games and PS+ got expensive
3. Sony stopped the previously time/stock limited sale of discounted PSN cards in my country (it was the only way I topped up PSN through previously)

Don’t want to see people get screwed, in terms of returns this happens and people buying an opened PS5 box shouldn’t be surprised in the first place if something is missing it will be sold as is, or open box.

Do you mean banned from Walmart or banned from NeoGAF?
Can the mods ban the OP for posting about returning an item and benefiting from the policy?
I mean, now that I finally get what the OP did, it is wild. I never in a million years would have even thought about doing something like that. My PS5 came with God of War Ragnarok
Why can’t the OP spend $70 on a game like us?
Nothing!
Even if you only make $10,000 a year, spending $70 one time (it’s not recurring) will NOT harm you!
Had he simply just bought SM2 for $70 like the rest of us, he’d be fine! Like, would he have been bankrupt? Would that $70 have broke him!?? Can he retire earlier now?
No!
I don’t understand his motive for doing this except to be scummy
In the scheme of things, via a loophole, he took the long way to save $70.
Some might say he stole a $70 game.

I agree on the fact he should be banned. If this guy ever try to sell something in here, he will say I shipped it seller but the shipping package I made didn't have enough tape so I decided to keep the package.
No wonder many stores now are starting to change return policy for opened items.
Becsuse of low life people like him.
With that being said. NGAF has its own policy of banning people and while many of us feel he should get axed, its doesn't necessary means he is breaking the ToS / ToA of this site. So leave it to the mods they know better.

I second this because of this:
OP's post history here is extremely suspect. Reads like a scammer and/or system flipper and is in here making excuses to justify his premeditated theft.
Drop the console warring bait
The funniest part of this thread is seeing the posters who are personally affronted at the thought of their beloved Sony being defrauded, even on such a low level. I can't imagine this much hand-wringing if the poster was trying to return a Series X having used a bundled Forza download code.

There's always one chump that has to turn everything into a pathetic ass console war.
On cue, here you are.
The fraud here is being perpetrated on Walmart not Sony. It's being perpetrated on the next customer who buys that PS5, not Sony. The saddest, not funniest, part of this thread are asshats like you justifying theft. You're probably also the kind of person who bitches and moans when you walk into a store and find out they have everything locked up behind glass because, you know, theft.

It has nothing to do with a specific console and everything to do with being a piece of shit.The funniest part of this thread is seeing the posters who are personally affronted at the thought of their beloved Sony being defrauded, even on such a low level.

That's a heck of a lot of assumptions to make about someone based on making one joke.
Firstly, you're posting on NeoGaf and my jokey message was where you chose to draw the line on the "pathetic ass console war." Amazing.
Btw... Sony will absolutely miss out as well. Because OP has secured a free copy of the game, that's a potential sale they will miss out on.
Can you point to where exactly I was "justifying theft"? Because that's quite a serious allegation to be making.

If you were an honest person you wouldn't be asking if you could get away with scamming a store. Also, there's zero way that only PS4 games would be affected by "bad framerate"; your story is garbage.
I see your tag was changed to "An Idiot" but I would recommend that mods change it to "An idiot and a liar"
