So i bought RE5 today and when i got home it had Street fighter 4 in it instead, it was a display case not sealed and he put the wrong disc in i called them and told them i didnt have RE5 in there and he said he would give me the copy, but didnt ask about street fighter.....hmmm should i give it back or keep it? right thing to do is take it back, but im not right just not but i feel dirty keeping.

has this type of thing ever happened to you? and what did you do?

Enjoy it, I guess. Just think of whichever game you want more. They're both new, so....

I just wouldn't keep both. That's not fair.

I bought a Dresden Dolls CD and it came with a different CD inside, it was still Dresden Dolls but not the album I wanted really, it was Girl Anachronism and not Yes Virginia. I just kept it.

Don't get angry if they won't give you RE5 without first returning SF4. :p

I'd take SF4 back, but then again I'm a big believer in karma.

Take SFIV back and switch, it's the right thing to do.

Break the SF4!

It won't help... but it will amuse me. :plotting:

You people care far too much about random faceless corporations.

I would keep it and still go for RE5.

Keep it. With the amount of money gamestop/ebgames/whatever has, they can lose out 50 bucks.

I work at GameStop and was originally gonna push towards "give it back", but I see massive amounts of truth to this. So it's really up to your conscience. Personally, after a couple hours or so of having the game in my hands, my own conscience would harden and I'd probably just keep it and go grab RE5 as well.

That happened to me once, and I returned it, and so should you. Honesty is win. Oh, wait, that sounded stupid. Well, whatever, you get the point.

Give it to me! I wanna play it and none of my friends who own 360's are into fighting games all that much.

Not quite a wrong game, but I have had a girl give me a fake phone number.

I'd say give it back. I once was given the wrong game but it was worth more and I wanted it too so I just kept it (I didn't go back for the original).

F that PM me and send it to me if you don't want it. If they don't ask for SFIV then keep it, their own stupidity is at fault. You lucky son of a gun.

I remember when Metal Gear Solid for the PS came out and it had a Silent Hill demo disc with it. My mom told the guy to throw away the SH demo because it was too scary for me so the guy put in some other demo inside instead and he smiled at me.

When I got home I found out he had given me the Silent Hill demo anyway :cool:

Give SFIV back, but fart on the disc first. If cartoons have taught me anything, it's that any problem or dilemma can be solved by flatulence.

>>> So they just said, yeah sure we will give you a new copy. And they didnt ask about the wrong game either.
Man, i want to buy my games there too..

Well judging from how long ago MGS was released I'd say he was around 10.
I'd be pretty happy too if someone did that for me.

Anyway. Give it back. It's not yours and you know it. :p

Is selling it back to them worse than just keeping it? :p

Haha, that's awesome. :D

I think you should keep SF until they ask for it back. :) last fall I got Lego Batman for DS instead of Wii so I asked for a new one, but they told me to send the other one back. :(

Burn a copy then give it back.

I work for a major record store. The amount of times people will come in with either a game or cd and say the disc wasn't in there and theres no game in the box is pretty surreal we're not idiots and we know it. At the same point you cannot accuse the customer of lying unless you directly served them in the first place and can proove you put the disc in the box. Hence why I will always open the disc baggie and place the game in the case properly with the book therefore I will have been seen on atleast 4 cameras doing so. Without that you have to honour your returns policy and give them a copy of the game or cd. With CDs I can believe it but Games is harder to say "hey guess what we screwed up again"

As for taking SF4 back well. If you wanted to be nice to the guys who sold you it by accident then well you will and you'll just say it was obviously an accident (though why Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter IV would be next to each other in an alphabetical storage I don't know) Or you could simply not mention they placed a game inside at all and get a copy of Street Fighter IV for free. I would probably keep the disc unless the guy said "hey man I remember you, damn I didn't give you the game? But I know I gave you A game so what game was it man?" but then I have no conscience or soul.
