I'd be surprised if anywhere will let you do this. Why not do what I suggested above and take the unopened games to Virgin or similar and exchange for store credit?

Yes I agree.... the problem with the bundles is that they will probably be sold as bundles (shown on the receipt) and as such you would be expected to return the whole bundle I think.

The auternative might be to buy the games you want somewhere else.... for example Tesco in the hope that the receipt lists the item as "Nintendo Wii Game"... rather than have it's full description - assuming it is the same price and the bundle game is unopened I think they would probably give you a refund..... perhaps a bit dishonest though so I don't know where you'd stand with that??

Can you take it to Virgin? Will they not ask for receipt?

Probably not legal and a bit dodgy but I suppose you could take them into ASDA, swear blind you bought them there but had lost the receipt, and ask for a credit note or something !!!!

Or just sell them on ebay ???

I just took a pile of 4 games in, said I got them for Christmas and wanted to exchange them. No receipt needed, they were unopened so they could be resold at full value. Virgin don't lose anything

And I don't think its illegal at all; it is however probably discretionary whether or not they let you exchange, maybe your best doing 1 at a time?

whats the usual line you give them?

as i would prefer to swap the games i've got for ones i'd actually play, not to bothered about getting cash for them.

also don't think it is worth selling them on ebay as go for so little.

Just take a game or two in, say you got them as a present but you'd like to exchange them for something else, don't have a receipt, but they are unopened. Shouldn't be a problem, unless they've changed policy in the last 12 months. If they don't go for it, you can try elsewhere...

And these were games you didnt buy at Virgin in the first place?
