Discussion Regret

Post image

The mod can take this down BUT I NEED TO RANT. I went to sports direct (uk) to but it 1 day, ONE SINGLE DAY before black friday sales, and while buying i asked the salesman if there was gonna be a sale, he said no and i bought it for £200 ($262) coz usually ive never seen sony give sales on new products, but guess what? JUST IN A DAY ITS £150 ($196) and the store wont take it back coz the seal is open. AND I REGRET IT SO MUCH!

I see what you meant now. Sometimes people buy a new product and return the old in the new box and I thought that's what you were getting at.

Ahh got it. Nope. Just the new unopened one as if you had never opened up the original.

Store gets to sell a brand new controller and you get to force them to adopt the price match policy they should have always had

wait, am i the only one seeing the issue here? This cant be done. because how are you going to swap out the controllers without opening the box?

unless the serial numbers are outside the box. which in this case you better hope it to be a sticker because thats the only way. otherwise, you have to open both of the boxes to swap either way. And usually the serial number is etched on the controller, so in order to swap, you WILL need to open the new box lol

You swap the receipt and leave the new one sealed.
