And you just kept it like that?! You do know that Gamestop has a 30-day guarantee on used consoles (without any extra charge), right?

I spotted this while looking up stuff on Google. A tour of Gamestop's Refurbishing Center. You know a game got "refurbished" by the large R in the UPC sticker on the back.

Games and consoles (and now tablets and iDevices, too) are sorted, cleaned, prepared, and even destroyed at the ROC.
I think the picture falls in the Ugly Category. Are you kidding me?!! :x

Well, there are Good, Bad and Ugly things at Gamestop. All stories can be posted, not just the negatives. Maybe the pic belongs in the Good Category, depending on the point of view? I can read Call of Duty in the munched discs.

Yeah, they are probably games that are returned as defective or damaged. If they can't re-surface them, I imagine they get cut up like that so they dont accidentally get sold.

So you have something against a thread that is just negativity about Gamestop? Maybe you could just balance it out with a thread about positive "stories".
