Confused about new purchase..."Property of Nintendo"???
desocietas:
Also, the only thing I would be upset about would be the fact that you bought it new. When if it was for display/ not-for-resale, it obviously isn't new, or retail. I'm guessing it wasn't sealed?

I agree with Scott here... though I know Gamestop has a tendency to open all their games so that they can pull the carts out. No factory sealing... they just slap on one of those clear circle stickers to "seal" it. They'll do this even if it's a new game, which irks me.
I'm wondering if maybe they put the wrong cart in the box? A used cart in a new box?

I did notice that the box was re-shrinkwrapped, but since I know that some GameStop employees tend to open new copies then reseal them I made no real stink about it. I believe it's like desocietas says: they opened the factory seal, took out the cart for whatever reason, and put a display copy in its place by mistake. Hey, as long as Nintendo doesn't order an alpha strike on my house I'm okay...though I got kinda intrigued with scott's Zero-Suit Samus idea! And the game is not half bad for $15; my daughter likes it just fine. Thanks for the insight, folks.

In a related GameStop story, I bought the first Prof Layton "new" at GS, and when I got it home it already had a save file on it. I bought a second copy when I was out at BestBuy so I took the GS copy back and told the manager I wanted a refund, to which she replied "hmm, welllll, I really should give you just store credit since it's opened but I'll do a full refund just this once." I about flipped shit on her. I said "umm NO, you sold it to me opened and as a "NEW" game, and furthermore one of your employees has started a save file that can't be erased (Layton save files can never be erased). She refunded me in full.... Regardless, I won't buy from GS unless they are the last resort. Just shady practices all the way around.

Sounds like you're in trouble with this one. Unless you want a pissed off Miyamoto showing up at your door, I think you need to send this to me!
