    As soon as the disc is removed from the box it is used. GameStop won’t pay you full price to trade in an open copy of a game just because you say you never put it in your console.

    When. I buy a NEW game, the entire thing should be in mint condition, case included.

    If anything has been adulterated in any way compared to how it came from the factory, then I shouldn’t have to pay full price.

      That wouldn’t be used, that would be open box which is very different. GameStop doesn’t trust consumers when they say something is new, but realistically if they’re selling a "used* item as new then that’s false advertising and they’d get in huge trouble. They’re selling an open box item as new, which is fine, because it is unused.

      A new car that has yet to be sold to anyone but that has also been on numerous test drives is still a new car.

        Dude employees can take games home to play them, and they sell them full price as “new”

        That’s fucking used.
