I'd like to say that I'm amazed that GameStop would steal from their customers, but they haven't been the bastions of honesty that I'd like to think they were.

So no, I'm not amazed.
If they were honest, they'd either send the boxes back to the manufacturer and ask for ones that didn't have the codes, or leave them intact. Stealing something out of the box, then wrapping it up like it's new and selling it... That's just dishonest.
- kodablah 15y agoOr if they were honest, they could at least get a statement from Square Enix accepting blame for mis-packaging.
- rexf 15y agoThat would not be honest at all. Putting in a redeemable game voucher for On-Live was not "accidentally packed" into each game. Square-Enix came to an agreement with On-Live to include On-Live digital copies. I'm amazed at how Gamestop doesn't even try to lie or spin their way out. They state, "Square Enix packed a competitor’s coupon within the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution without our prior knowledge and we did pull these coupons."
- wccrawford 15y agoNo, initially they would not comment on it, despite the fact that people knew it was going on. It wasn't until they realized the internet had ahold of it like a rabid dog that they decided to talk. At that point, they had no choice but to tell the truth. Don't give them points for following the only course they had open to them.
- daemin 15y agoNow in the US litigious society, could they be sued for this - removing the coupons from a product?
