"not a scam"

OP never said it was a digital download, in fact he implied the opposite. I'm not even sure GS allows disc protection on downloaded games.


Rocket League

Looks like there's physical versions of Rocket League.

That's a different scenario

If in fact GS is selling "disc" protection for a digital code then that can be considered a scam.

That's not what was implied in the topic though


Rocket League


Ok?

Am I just not getting something because I'm looking at pre-owned Rocket League discs on the gamestop website right now

Rocket League disc is literally a pass for a digital download. Nothing is on the disc.


How would they sell that as "pre-owned" then?

This isn't true at all...

Sounds like you're just trolling us here, because you aren't making much sense right now.

I hate that they still try to sell you used games as new. You go in and buy a new game and they walk over to the damn wall, and pull the case that's been all touched over by random people and shit, and then take out a disc from a drawer and put it in the case.

Nah, bro. I want the game that hasn't been opened and still in the package.


I remember the first time they tried that with me. Had to be like 5 years ago.

I walked out when he pulled the "new" game out of the drawer. I went to buy it from Target

She had to pay up lol.

Technically the producers of the show paid up as those 'judge' show judgments are paid by the production company. The people who go on them are even paid an appearance fee if I remember correctly.

As for the protection plan thing, it's a smart idea if you're somebody who tends to drop or break shit constantly. The only time I think I've ever bought one of them was on an original Xbox just before they stopped production. Two years later (long after they were no longer in production) I went back in to cash it in and they gave me a gift card for the price I paid. So it's like I got to enjoy the system for two years and then got a refund. lol

I feel like people have no idea what a "scam" actually is

This is a waste of money, but its not a scam

I bet you think those guys selling PS3 boxes on eBay for $700 are totally legit.

If theyre advertising it as the box... I dont see what the problem is.

Why does CE think 12 year olds are no different mentally from 5 year olds

He spent an extra dollar in case his game would break for whatever reason. Who gives a fuck. You're acting like this dude spent $20 on Ticketmaster ticket insurance which is an actual legitimate scam because it covers nothing short of your own death.

You should know by now CE makes a big deal out of the absolutes of nothing.

Not advertising it as just a box? Yes, that is a scam.
Advertising it as a box and people buy it without reading the text? No scam, just an idiotic buyer.

Well that explains how even people who have no way they could possibly have a case end up on the show. Could be a good loophole if you're ok with everyone in the country laughing at you.

But she lost the case is what I mean.
