    What system? “The system” is to put it in a plastic sleeve in a glorified filing cabinet. The game is never played, the box is just used for display. What’s asinine is that the video game manufacturers never realized they could sell cover boxes to gamestop and the like and probably make extra profit… which would stop the entire need for them to do this at all.

      Try returning an open game to GameStop under the same rationale and see if they agree.

      Twenty Years ago they let employees “check out” brand new games that were opened like this so it was all bullshit.

      My mistake about your post. But they will sometimes use a disc in the in store kiosk and then sell that as used if it’s the last disc available. At least they used to.

        No you were right. Employees can take games home to sample, and they’re still sold as new
