Not sure where the original poster got the impression....but maybe because few stores allow returns of open games, and until recently, EB was one of the only ones.

So, where did you buy it?

What does that matter at all? I must say this is one of the oddest things I've been asked on this board. It has no relevance to the thread, and no relevance to anything else I can think of (since my kepping or returning it wouldn't affect anyone else on this board).

You're kidding, right?
Relevance? How about this? You would have to agree that the main purpose of this entire website/forum is for we members to help each other find bargains. Right? And I think that a store accepting returns of opened games would qualify as an incredible bargain. At least half the games I buy I end up disliking enough to return.....if there was a store that accepted returns of opened games. I would love to know where you can do this, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that.

I respect your privacy, but am confused as to why you're not seeing the great help your information would be to the rest of us.

Well, if you bought it, tried it out, then returned it, some people might like to know what stores still allow you to do this, since EB has apparently stopped doing it.

Nope, not kidding. I got a "we simply don't believe you" vibe in the previous posts. Since you simply wanted to know a store that still accepts returns on opened games, it's Gamestop\Babbages. 7 day return policy. To the best of my knowledge, they're the last that accept opened games as a return.

A person can still take a game back and say it's defective thus getting a new, sealed copy. They can then return it somewhere else. Most stores probably won't give you a hard time returning a sealed game even without a receipt....

Are we talking about "Return: End of Story" or "Open Exchanges"? Because I know EB and company allow for one open exchange per receipt. Gamestop still allows for open returns?

That's awfully dishonest.

When I returned a scratched up DVD from Costco (when I opened it, I found it wasn't securely in place), they sliced open the shrinkwrap of my replacement DVD, obviously for the above mentioned notion.

cartman - you were trippin over nothing they just wanted to know where you got it from so they could probably do the same thing.

FYI all EB no longer takes back opened games. They used to take games back after they were opened, then they switched to 1 return, and now it is the standard return only for the same product if opened.

As of right now only gamestop has a policy that allows you to return opened games within a week.

^ Can't wait till that's over. Nothing's better than buying a "new" game from a store that takes back used copies of games and sells them as new.

What difficulty are you playing on? Not very high, I assume.

I do . But only because a lot of people try to bring back sealed games that arent from my store. If I can see that they bought it at our store and its been at least 7 daysm then I'll ok it.

EB, Gamestop, Babbages, etc. don't sell sealed games anymore (not any of the stores near me anyway)... they open all their games and just put out empty cases. It's cuz they're too cheap to install proper security in their mall stores. This is one of the many reasons I don't shop at stores like this.

Actually, it is 480p. I have friends that work at Digital Anvil and they said it is 480p, but the box is wrong. Xbox games are 480p by default. The developer actually has to turn it off. I think there is only one or two games that aren't 480p.

I'm playing on hard. I just started the "Return to Osiris" (I think that's the name) level and have still yet to die. Maybe I'll see if Brutal is any harder... Heck, the last "boss" with the briefcase didn't even move any! I walked up to him with Tex and just unloaded my mini until he died.

Going back to check the ol' TV again, you are correct. The display had "interlaced" greyed out, which I thought meant that's what it was and couldn't be changed. Turns out that just means I can't "select" the mode, but it did have the "flicker" at the beginning when 480p displays start. D'oh!

How do you do Brutus's running attack mode. I hit the white button and I try running in to the person and the only thing he does is get shot.

I've never seen any stores like this. The places I've been to, there's been on empty case on a display case and all the brand new sealed games are either behind the counter or in the back room.

Once in his "Spirit of Vengar" mode (i.e. after pressing the white button), you just run into a person while running on all fours at good speed. This kills them instantly and takes you out of Brutus' special mode.

When you press the (white botton/berseker) just run towards whoever you are going to kill and ram them. You don't have to shot them or anything, just run over them hard



NOTE:

When I started playing the game I was a bit confused and I didn't know what to think but now it's becoming together. This is an owesome game that requires some practice and that's it. I prefer to play with other four people which gets even better.

lol i did the same exact thing on hard. the game is very easy and incredibly repetetive. its not terrrible by any means but i definetly would reccomend you rent this and not buy it.

I don't know how you didn't die yet. 3 times one of the 3 following me fell into the Lava and died.
