Monday night I get the call saying my preorder of FF VI would be in on Tuesday and held for the 24 to 48 hours. I go in Wednesday afternoon/early evening to pick it up I get told theres none in the store and to quote "not even enough for preorders came in"
Fine I go check Target and they hade none. But the kicker is when I go in to EB today they do have a copy that had already been gutted but they seemed to have "misplaced" the box and manuels and wanted to sell me that alone or with a ad box, I said "no thank you, I'll wait"

The point of this rant is one they did get more then enough copies for preorders and thanks to the gutting policy they lose crap and out right lied to me in the first place about the game being in stock. Bah

Normally I would have just bought it gutted and delt with it (for gba games I make use of this site http://www.thecoverproject.net/ ) but trying to sell a new game with the lack of the original box and manuals was beyond any business practice to any customer. Not only that gutting in general leads to some serious loss prevention issues and some recent articles popping up kotaku and the like are reporting people going in to buy new games and getting either a used copy passed off as new or the wrong game out right and the fact that no other retailer does this leads me to think eb/gs is gonna start getting hit with law suits
