    No offence meant, but read around the forums, many of our members do get wound up in preparation for a fight that needn't be a fight! :)

    The shop is more likely to let you trade it for another game, though if the cartridge is faulty then you are entitled to a full refund.

    Strange question...he goes to the counter and hands the money over like anyone else.

    We (his parents) were outside the shop waiting for him, he was not totally unaccompanied if that's what you are implying. He was being taught life skills important to any child, and even more so for my son as he is autistic.

    And for clarity I am not jumping at shadows, hence why I have asked on here first and not gone storming off to the shop. Plus I want to check out the shops other stock before I decide how to approach them, as pointed out they may not be aware and they may have a bigger problem with having fakes foisted upon them, despite their legal duty of due diligence.

    If they have set themselves up to sell used games and they didn't check the authenticity of their stock, it really is their own fault. They have a duty to carry out due diligence from whomever they buy.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
