Yea I wasn't expecting that either. The rep was training a new employee on how to deal with trade-ins however, so maybe he was being extra careful or something.
The copy I picked from Best Buy in store has a bilingual cover too.. strange.

Don't they take games without cases for less value?

have people been denied returns at walmart because of this? I did it with black ops 3 on boxing day and had no issues returning an all english copy from amazon. recoept didnt match the barcode on the case either
Not much. People wanted to do the switch trick with grabbing a copy in store and returning the copy shipped to them because they were coming in late (after the weekend) but Overwatch has two SKUs -- one fully English packaging and the other is bilingual.
Ahhh I gotcha
Seems more like you were lucky. Usually the WM person matches the barcode

but im sure those overwatches would have scanned. Plus If the store says no just ask to speak to home office and they will buckle at the knees.
i worked there for years and have seen tons of return fraud. Phonebooks in console boxes. Bbq's we didnt carry. Food that was completely eaten, just returned an empty box
Even used underwear when there is a "no returns on used underwear" sign on the wall.

I got a game as a gift but don't want it. Nobody wants it on Kijiji. Walmart came to mind but I don't want to be fraudulent and someone tokd me they won't do that anymore.

they will take it back. Just say you lost the reciept and payed cash. You will get a giftcard for whatever amount it scans at

Send corporate a tweet. This seems unusual.

I know this game gets hate, but I enjoyed it and the figure that comes in this edition looks excellent and makes a great book-end on my shelf.

Wait so is Amazon shipping bilingual Overwatch copies then? I bought a billingual copy at Walnart so could I return my Amazon copy to Walmart or vice versa?
just realized it's that time of year where I actually pre order a bunch of games
assuming the e3 deals still happen
besides pokemon I don't think there's anything I need to pre-order, though. it would be nice if they show off RE2make in some way and put that up for pre-order.

Someone told me they stopped doing that for anything above $40. I also feel bad even thinking about trying it.
The Division. I received it as a gift, but read that it's buggy and not for solo gamers.
Haha. Why's that?
Hahaha.
No, sir. I don't want anyone else's used/dirty controllers.

I posted earlier how they take back anything as long as you ask to speak to home office. You shouldnt feel bad, walmarts doing fine
You got it as a gift, the least you could do is try it out. Someone spent their hard earned money on it and it's of no loss to you to try it.
$59.99 - 30% = $42
Even with the E3 discount Pokémon Sun is going to cost me more than buying the games at full price would have ._. Please let those be at $49.99 by E3... Aside from that I think it's only whatever is announced that I'll need to pre-order.
Edit: Ooh also Detroit: Become Human.

some stores now have unique bar codes so he needs to scan the game into a self scanner first to check. also keep in mind if the code isn't in the system the scanner will lock up and emit a high pitched error sound until an employee resets the machine

Eb will give you $39 (plus not paying tax on that amount) if used towards preorder/purchase of recent title. Or at least that's what they gave on Saturday.

Got this in my email this morning
Kinda makes it sound to me like codes again, but that's just a guess. Hope not as that seemed more trouble than it was worth. Although as long as they do 30% off and not 20% like last year, I can deal with it.
Guess we will see on the 10th.
Hopefully well get 30% from both Amazon and BestBuy this year. Seems like there are always a couple games that only go up on one site or the other during this promo; it'd be nice to have everything covered.

With amazon, if I have an active prime account when I place E3 orders and say decide to cancel it later....does the shipping speed revert to being slow?
It's 29.99 at EBGames
No. Afaik

No it does not. It's the perfect time to use the Prime trail if you have not already.
Yeah, I bought some N64 games from them and was happy with the service. Reasonably fast shipping and everything was packaged well.

No I used the 1 month free trial when I ordered and shipping stayed the same for all my orders.
I'm hoping my list isn't too big this year. I'll be broke this Fall. PS VR plus medical expenses won't be half-covered by my insurances in 2-3 months.
edit: off-topic.. I got an exam/interview for a position that's slightly better than what I have right now this afternoon.. stress is killing me. bleh.. why am I so scared of changes, so much that I just want to not go.

Is this the year that Amazon goes Prime only discount?
It better be more than 30% then. If they want to compete with Bestbuy, in which Gamers Club is free.

I'm hoping Best Buy arrives wth 30% and Amazon gives 35% for prime member, but I can dream, we might only be getting 20% on all fronts...

dark cloud 1 finally on sale on psn, $7.49
I just wish they'd do the currently-US-only 20% off new games at all times deal.
