Hmmm this has never happened to me before, but i wonder...

Does opening the game box and store the contents separately save any space? You still have to keep the boxes and the manuals and the media anyway... why not do that with JUST one game and put in for display and store the rest out of the reach of the customer so that the have to ask for the game if they want to buy it?
Many stores do that here in japan, and not just for games.

I understand that people don't want to buy opened games, it makes sense because after the game is opened and even if you are told the game really is new, then there is no proof the game is actually new, so you have to "trust" the retailer, which is too much to ask for some if its the first time you buy there.

The fact that the game box is closed and sealed is the only proof you need, i wouldn't drink from a PET bottle of coke that's been opened and sold to me as new, even if it didn't contain any poison, it would make me doubt, to me thats reason enough to get a refund.

@18 The fact that "Best Buy" employees are careless while handling boxed merchandise (thanks for the insight) doesn't mean that the people at "Game Stop" are not with unboxed products, plus... bad handling of merchandise can also happen long before it hits a store.
