The fact is that once I purchase a movie, I have a right to make a copy of it for my personal use, despite the ridiculous warnings and threats made by the movie industry.

Most lenders who deal in car equity loans will lend you up to a certain percentage of your vehicle's value to ensure they will make their money back if you fail to repay the loan. This value ranges from 33% to 50% or higher of the value of your vehicle.

I'd like to kick this thread off by saying that I've worked for CEX for quite a few years and have noticed a trend for people complaining in various forums about the company.I'd like to create one unified thread for all of your rants about CEX.

Hopefully I can answer or contribute with some honest observations from an employee, rather than the usual corporate fluff designed to make your case look like an isolated incident whilst simultaneously trying to make a fool of you.

Let me finish by saying if you think being a CEX customer is a bad experience (believe me I know it is) then imagine how badly they treat employees!

A shift in how consumers are renting and watching movies has put pressure on traditional video rental stores. The popularity of companies like Netflix, an online monthly movie subscription service, and Redbox DVD vending machines has taken business away from bricks-and-mortar chains like Movie Gallery and Blockbuster, and independent video stores like Broadway Video.

Just got a tip from a reader that all Movie Gallery locations in the United States will be closing within the next two to 6 weeks or so.   (No official date has been given)
I've mentioned it before on a small scale here.
This nationwide news was announced in stores Friday.
Movie Gallery is not responding to any inquiries about nationwide store closings. A recording at corporate advises media to report "Movie Gallery was not available for comment."

Q. Are you still taking trades?
A. Yep, most definitely, however, we are no longer doing cash for trades. We still guarantee the best trade price in town and if we come in lower we'll top our competitor by 5% as always. But, if it wasn't obvious, you'll want to use that credit same day.

Game Crazy Set To Close All Remaining Stores
Parent company Movie Gallery set to close its doors.
by Jim Reilly
US, May 1, 2010 - U.S. videogame retailer Game Crazy will begin closing all remaining stores across the country this month.

An e-mail tipster said Movie Gallery, the parent company of Game Crazy and Hollywood Video, made the announcement yesterday during a store-wide conference call. The company will begin liquidating all of its remaining stores in roughly two weeks.

The manufacturer identification number is the first six digits of the UPC number -- 639382 in the image above. The next five digits -- 00039 -- are the item number. A person employed by the manufacturer, called the UPC coordinator, is responsible for assigning item numbers to products, making sure the same code is not used on more than one product, retiring codes as products are removed from the product line, etc.

In general, every item the manufacturer sells, as well as every size package and every repackaging of the item, needs a different item code. So a 12-ounce can of Coke needs a different item number than a 16-ounce bottle of Coke, as does a 6-pack of 12-ounce cans, a 12-pack, a 24-can case, and so on. It is the job of the UPC coordinator to keep all of these numbers straight!

It's all about that magical moment.

The games industry is definitely seeing--and feeling--a shift in distribution, moving from physical to retail thanks to services such as Steam, Direct2Download, and more. Actual retail stores like GameStop and Wal-Mart aren't helping matters, reducing physical copies of PC games to a mere shelf or two. But despite the trend, publishers are trying to keep the dream alive, some of which option not to publish digitally despite industry direction.

In the Japanese video game RapeLay, players like 22-year-old Derek Littlejohn choose their own storyline in the process of evaluating how to rape a female passenger on a mass transit system, molest her two daughters and climactically persuade one of the victims to endure an abortion.
Littlejohn has worked at Gamestop in Oakland for two years and understands why the game has sparked international outrage from feminist groups and parents who want it banned in the United States because of its degradation of women. However, he has a different view.
“I’ve both heard about and played RapeLay myself, and I find it as nothing more than a game,” Littlejohn said.

Are they allowed to do this? The lady serving me was very rude and said there was no fault so therefore they cannot take it back, I think it is an intermittent fault with the phone in which sometimes the loudspeaker doesnt work. Are they allowed to refuse a refund or an exchange under the Sales of Goods Act?

Jason went into GameStop to trade in his Xbox 360, and experienced something odd. He says they refused to take his trade-in unless he bought new non-HD cables so they could test the system with the non-HD TVs they had in the store.

Here's the email Jason sent to us and to GameStop:
“
I am writing you regarding a concern that I have about the business practices of one of your stores.
I recently visited [redacted] on Saturday, April 24th; with the intent of trading in my Xbox 360 and several accompanying games and peripherals.

Will GameStop buy consoles from you?
I know GameStop will buy old video games, but I just want to know if they'll buy my Playstation 2 system off me. If they will, how much money do you think I'll get for it?
