EDIT: Oh and as well the DMCA has absolutely nothing to do with any of this. Aside from thae fact that it's an American law and has no effect here, the DMCA has to do with breaking encryption. It has nothing to do with copying anything.

Well if you break/reverse-engineer encryption to copy the game, then it does apply.

And to the guy threatening charge-backs, that's some lucky stuff right there. I mean, they state on the receipt that they will not return it AND its standard industry policy, but your credit card company would still allow the chargeback? I'm impressed.

they wont allow it and if u try to exchange it for the same hoping its brand new, they will open it in front of you or write on the receipt that it cannot be returned. they dont care if ur computer isnt good enough to run the program

I recently purchased a DVD from Zellers. When I eventually got to watching it, the data was pretty messed up on the disc, as it kept freezing on me.

I went to exchange it for another copy, and the store didn't have any, so they just refunded me my money for it since there wasn't much else they could do.

If you buy a game or dvd, and you have doubts about buying it, either don't buy it, or don't open it until you want to use it, that way if you change your mind, you can still return it. If you don't know if you'll like it, just rent it first.

btw, someone asking about a machine for shrink wrapping, they can be bought for about $200-$300 or so, but the ones that blockbuster, EB, etc. uses to re shrink wrap stuff is just that, shrink wrap. It's plastic that gets hot and conforms to the size of the item.

What games/dvd's come in is not shrink wrap, games and dvd's come in plastic cellophane that is completely different than shrink wrap, so buying a shrink wrap machine wouldn't do anything for you. On that note, if you ever see a game in the cheap plastic shrink wrap at EB and they claim it's new, it's not, because they sell used games as new games and just shrink wrap them.
