Refund at game

Hi quick question I bought a pre owned ps3 from game on Sunday
Rookie home unboxed it set it up was working ok till I put the game in and started playing it after about 20 min it beeped three times and switched off
So I gave up that night after doing some research and let it cool down
On Monday I tried again thinking it may be a one off but nope after 20-30 min of playing a game it beeped three times and switched off
I phoned game today and said I wasn't happy I was sick of it
As it was cutting out on me
They said bring it back and we will switch it over for another one
But I'm thinking I will take my money back
But they said they couldn't gie me a refund only a replacement
Can I get a refund ?

    Good chance that they'll happily replace it, but if you want a refund they are entitled to test the item first.

    It's up to GAME whether they want to replace or refund.
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Not really, IF the game is actually faulty the consumer can get a replacement or refund within a reasonable time frame.

    Oh, I misread it. Either way Pre-Owned Game or Pre-Owned Console the returns are the same. If faulty within 28 days you can take it back to the shop for a replacement or refund (Games are actually 3 Months)

    You can USUALLY get a refund within 28 days according to the SadFart guide.
