Target RIPPOFF...FALSE INFORMATION ON RETURN ITEMS San Bernardino, California

 VOR, the reason that neither Target, nor any other retailer would accomodate the OP is because what she was asking is exactly what people who bootleg digital media ask for.    Frankly, I'm surprised that anyone who regularly buys games or CDs wouldn't know about this.  It's been common practice for over a decade.

  The reason is that it is very easy to steal games this way.   You buy a game, copy the disc, return it, use the credit or refund to buy another game, which you take home, copy and return.  The process continues indefinitely.    By requiring that opened digital media be exchangable only for the identical title, stores keep pirates from being able to pull the copying scam. 

  As others noted, this is not a Target issue.   Similar policies apply to any retailer that sells digital media.   Any retailer that didn't have a policy like that would be robbed blind within a few months.

  Return policies for digital media are different from policies for normal merchandise for the reasons I stated above.   Not being familiar with the return policy is not Target's fault.  Their policies are posted.   The OP simply wants to cry "ripoff" because he/she did not bother to read the policy.   Ignorance may be bliss, but it's not a ripoff.

 " I will not forget this nor will i ever shop at Target again. "

  When you find a store that will return opened digital media for a store credit, different title exchange or a refund, please let us know.

Despite my normal tendency to be short tempered with posters whose poor English or grammar skills make reading their complaints aggravating, I'm going to part company with y'all on this one.

Given the circumstances, the game disk apparently defective, time running out to get it replaced by Xmas and in the rush to do that, the OP gets the 2nd one elsewhere, I think a mega chain like Target could have given her a break.

I'm sure all Targets in a region collectively send many such items back to their distributor as defective for their own store credit. It's not like they were going to have to box up and mail this one disk to the maker.

The store's manager could have been a decent person and requested the okay for an exception from his regional supervisor, given the circumstances, if not the spirit of the holiday.

Yes, this poster clearly needs to learn how to write and perhaps severely limit any family video game play time, especially if the kids also write like this, but Target was a real grinch here, especially since the customer only expected a store credit.

I read to her what the signed posted said "most unopen items in new condition returned in 90 days will receive a refund or exchange". 

- Your item was opened and used.

When you purchase a DVD/Game/CD from any store once you open it they will only allow you to exchange it for the same title.  Oh and by the way Game Stop has the same policy.

Most, if not all, stores that sell games will only exchange it for the same game.  The reason is pretty obvious.  People would use the store as a lending library which you may or may not be doing. These rules can be laid directly at the feet of customers who abused the store policies.

It's posted at the Target we go to and it's surprising if it's not posted at yours but I guess someone could have overlooked it.  Nevertheless, whether it's posted or not, you were informed and you had to adhere to it.  Disappointing to you but you'll live. 

You said:
The stsrted yekking at me telling me they were going to call the police and for me to leave there store.

I don't know that I've ever been yekked at but it's probably not pleasant and I would probably yek at you and call the police too.

This is illiterate at best and is similar to the rest of the report.  Everyone makes typo's but this is awful.  Don't people even proofread what they are reporting on line for the world to see?

It's a standard return policy everywhere I shop that if you open a game/DVD/CD etc., you can only exchange it for the same item. This IS posted at Target.

Perhaps you should spend more time helping your son with his homework instead of playing games. It might help you improve your communication skills. 

English is definitely not your language.  From what I can make out of your gibberish, Target refused to give a refund or switch another game cartridge for the one you were returning.  This is the policy everywhere, not just Target.  And I don't work for Target.

I have not a clue what your report is about - I suggest you learn to spell then come back and repost
