    Im sure you guys can feel my pain bc im sure its happened to you b4. ya know buying a game that blows.

    So i went ahead and bought Rainbow Six Vegas the other day (not knowing how bad it sucks) and i installed/played it. Needleess to say it plays "OK" at native res on my rig but the game just is not that fun and i really regret paying for it. I know i cant return it to best buy for a store credit of for another pc game (stalker/Riddick butchers bay)

    Anything i can do? How about taking it back for a new copy of it and then not opening it and then going to a new best buy and returning it? Dont you think they will see in the system that ive returned it before though?

    Anything

    yeah i'm pretty sure they have a system to keep track of that kind of thing, so you're probably out of luck.

    If I recall, opened software(including games) can't be refunded, but returned, yes.

    However, I don't know the process, if they require a receipt and 'mark' the receipt so you can't refund it when its brand new.
