No refunds, only replacements???!!!

Bf bought a Nintendo DS from Game, it had 2 dead pixels. He took it back and asked for a refund and was given the answer "We have a policy not to refund on hardware only replace it"

I think this is illegal isnt it? Have had a look on consumer direct website and it says if it's faulty then he's entitled to a refund. The replacement one he has been given also has a dead pixel.

Any advice please?
TIA
Nothing's free.....but we'll see what we can do!

    And HERE on this page under "no excuses" you will see it is against the law to display signs saying no refunds, report them to your local Trading Standards
