Literally a used Switch game in a big, ridiculous bag with a “New” sticker on it. Imagine going into a GameStop with a game in a bag like this and convincing them to give you credit for it as “New”.
Don’t buy online from GameStop. Actually, just don’t buy from GameStop.
I bought a new game. I brought it to the counter and paid for it. They opened the display box I'd handed them, they pulled a cartridge out of an envelope from a drawer and put it in the display box and handed that to me.
What the fuck?
Every game on display has to have the display copy opened. The game itself is kept behind the counter, the case is put out for display. It's to prevent theft. You got the last copy of the game in the store. It socks, but that's why. When I worked there I let people know it was the last copy and that the game had been opened but was still "new". Gave them a chance to change their mind. Alas, corporate doesn't offer discounts on display copies, and employees have no power to lower the price.
“Open box” isn’t the same as “new” and it shouldn’t be allowed to falsely sell “open box” as “new”
