Who else has a good game return policy?
I live about 25-30 miles away from an EB, so I was wondering if any other stores (KB Toys, Funcoland, Software Etc. etc.) had a good return policy on opened played games. I know EB has one where you can return a game within 10 days for another one (or store credit, right?) but it's just a 60 mile trip there and back, and other stores are much closer.
Anyone have any advice where I should go? I'm assuming I should stay away from the Best Buy's and Target's here.

The GameStops around here allow you to bring a new game back for a full refund within 7 days if you don't like it. (As a result, I rarely shop anywhere else for games anymore.) I would assume it was the same everywhere.

You know what I did once to unload a game that I didn't like.

Ethical? Not likely. But hey who do you look after? Yourself or a corporation?

I don't shop at EB or Gamestop anymore because they open all their games... PC and Xbox and otherwise... I won't buy a used game at full price and if they open it, it's used as far as I'm concerned. I have no problem buying used games, but I'll buy them off of half.com for 20 bucks less than retail and often get them sealed - best I can figure is that they "fell off a truck" or something cuz the prices I'm getting new games for is insane.

Oh, and by the way, I'm pretty sure that Game Crazy has the same "Bring it back within a week if you don't like it" policy that GameStop has.
