Well, I don't know how things are in the US/UK, but here in France most video game retailers operate on a (completely moronic) "we won't accept returns if the box has been opened" policy, because of software piracy.
They have a point I suppose, since it was common back in my high school years to buy a game, copy it, then bring it back to the store, but it completely shafts every legitimate buyer... and I'd wager those are more common than pirates. Especially since, what with broadband and kazaa and everything, most pirates these days just dl. their games.
@Whacker : thanks, mate ! (It's one of Sinan's oeuvres, of course)
