GameStop Opening Deus Ex Boxes, Removing Free Game Coupon

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-won't-need-that dept.

DisKurzion writes "A leaked GameStop memo indicates that employees are to open the regular PC release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and discard the included OnLive coupon. From the article: 'GameStop spokesperson Beth Sharum confirmed the practice, telling Ars that "Square Enix packed the competitor's coupon with our DXHR product without our prior knowledge and we did pull these coupons.'"

    They are selling used games as if they were new. If they consider a game to be used after the customer has opened it, then the customer should do the same.
