I can't trade in SEALED stuff? Why not?!

[BlaqueKatt]

but I do think it's kinda a lame policy. My cousin got a game for Christmas once... didn't want it, never opened it, and brought it back. It would have sucked if he couldn't return it

Um if you have a non-stolen unopened game why would you "trade it in" for about 25% of it's value as opposed to returning it for the full price you paid for it? The only reason to "trade in" an unopened game rather than returning it would be if it's stolen-otherwise you lose money.

Trade in value of new game-around $15-$20
retail price of same game-around $60

total loss of $40-$45.
