I received Guitar Hero 3 as an early Christmas gift from my brother. Well, it came with a wireless controller that doesn't work.:mad: :mad: I tried to return it to the store, and it being a gift I didn't have the receipt. They wouldn't let me exchange it! I tried to explain that I didn't buy it, therefore I had no receipt, and the lady got very snotty with me. It took every fiber of my being to not cuss her out and cause a scene. So now I either get stuck with a broken item, or pay $40 for a controller that actually works.

Those rude *kitten* have NO Christmas spirit WHATSOEVER!!!!

    Try a different store?

    Better yet, go to that company's website and file a complaint. Those go to district management who is usually willing to kiss some butt to correct the situation.

    My brother doesn't have the receipt...bless his heart he NEVER keeps stuff like that. I thought about buying a new one and returning the broken one, but all my $$ is going to buy my kids' presents so I don't have it to spend on myself.:ohwell:

    Another possibility is to wait until after Christmas, and try to return it then. Stores lighten up on the receipt rule then. You'll probably get a store credit, but better than nothing.

    Santa brought two controllers:smile: I just got done kicking my brother's butt on "Rock and Roll all Nite":laugh: I wonder if jumping around and acting like a complete idiot counts as a workout??
    I've had a cold for the last couple of days and it felt good to get up and move around.

    I would try this route as it puts a store and a possible lower level employee in an uncomfortable situation to be giving away product for warranty that they may not have sold (for what they know) to begin with.

    Maybe with that and after a few days of the holiday stress to have subsided things will go smoother,I have to think that most retail chains have policies and mechanisims in place for just such an event.
