Why don't you just... return your Amazon copy to Amazon?

Because I got Amazon price locked in at 60 bucks. If I return to Amazon I only get 60 back, plus I got to pay shipping costs so closer to 55.

i want to play the game on release day but keep the 60 dollar price.

"People do it all the time" is not a good defense for anything.

This is ultimately not a big deal outside of being inherently dishonest IMO but that defense for it sucks.

You could buy the Gamestop version to enjoy and then just return the Amazon one back to Amazon once it arrives. Plus if it hasn't arrived or shipped yet, you can cancel your order.

There's not really a need to do this unless your life is severely impacted by being - $60 temporarily in which case I'm wondering why you want a new game with a tight budget like that.

I dont want to spend 70 on a game I have locked in for 60 already. But I actually want to play the game day 1.

GameStop receives an identical copy of the game when you return it that they can then sell as normal. Hardly a scam.

If $10 would crimp your wallet that much, you probably shouldn't be spending $60 (or $70 in this case) on video games.

I think TC is actually doing GamesStop a favor. They are likely selling him an already-opened game and charging him a new price for it. And then hes going to return an unopened new copy of the game to them.

Got like 20k in my bank account right now though. Didnt get that by spending excessively for no reason.

Nope. Got about 20 digital games on my switch already that I wish I got physical instead just to have the option to sell them later and such. It is what it is.
