Angry Console / PC game media condition

Been at least a week since my last whinge!....

Anyhow, am I alone in thinking that if I pay the 'brand new' price for a game, I should expect a brand new copy, that doesn't look like it has been cleaned with a scouring pad!

According to GAME Guildford, I'm being 'picky'!

Before you ask, I walked away without purchasing anything and bought if from another store that don't trash their media before selling it to you.

Anyway.. I'll get my coat...

Morning all

Totally agree - If I'm buying it brand new I expect it to still be in the celophane wrapping.

Thats interesting, because thats exactly what I thought they've been doing...

I'm feeling quite vindictive today too, and was considering dropping trading standards a quick email/phone call.

One of the reasons I mainly buy from online such as Play.com or Amazon.
