[quote name='M1C13']I just started working at GameCrazy about a month ago and we had a midnight Madden Sale. This guy who bought Madden 2007 360 at around 12:15 AM brought it back at around 12:45 AM the same night. He told us that the graphics and the game play were awful and that he wanted to trade it in for a PS2 copy. He came in a couple days later talking about how one of his other games for the 360 looked bad so I asked him about his setup he is using a TV from the 1980s, no lie, he had to buy the RF adapter to hook it up.
Last week the plot thickened. The same guy bought a wireless 360 controller about 2 hours later he comes back says it doesn't work we try it on our demo unit hes right. So we give him another one. Two days later he brings that one back it doesn't work. I freak out and say well its not the controller it's your 360 he says no the manager looks at the controller for a couple seconds and kicks the guy out of the store, Yeah he was bringing back his old dirty controllers and getting new ones. I felt like an idiot. Sorry for any bad grammer or typos.[/QUOTE]
That happens SO much its not funny. Its common with controllers, and somewhat common with used games (really, who is gonna remember every scratch on a game they sold to a customer?). System is where it gets FUN.
Ive seen SO many people try and swap serial #'s on system (as most are just stickers). Talk about a back hack job. Some even thought they were smarter then me by just opening there old system and putting the guts in the new systems case. Its amazing how many people don't think I would check the freshly peeled off VOID sticker on the back of the console, or the obvious removal of screws. The fun I had saying 'Get out' on those occcasions.
The best way to tell if someone is trying to return there own controller is too look at the grooves on the side. Since controllers are two plastic 'halves' put together there is a small strip then bubbles in. You wouldn't imagine how much dirt and filth gets trapped there.
