That should be illegal.

I understand the lack of desire to sell the game in support of a competitor. But if I pay for a game I expect a complete package. You can't return software that's been opened for federal copyright reasons... so how does that work when the store opened it before you bought it?
Also, it is within GameStop's purview to A: order the game without the coupon so it isn't opened, and B: negotiate a lower price to stay competitive. I have to wonder why these things weren't done. |

It is illegal, its tampering with a product I believe.
also an update on this... Deus Ex: Human Revolution pulled from Gamestop shelves over OnLive codes http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/25/de...-onlive-codes/ Instead of tampering with the product, they should have just full them from the shelves in the first place |

I'm primarily a PC gamer, thus none of that really applies to me.
Those people who are complaining about the PC shelves getting smaller are pretty stupid. If you want a hard copy of a game via PC, you pre-order it. No one walks into a store and browses for pc games anymore. That's what the Media is for (Internet, magazines, G4tv, etc etc) |
