Flaw is though, because it requires Online Registration to play (like WoW or Guild Wars) you can't return the disc, as you have permanently bound your EA account to the CD-key. I very much doubt they would accept your saying "but I haven't installed it" because you can't prove it.DaBombadier wrote:
Well i think it's probably just your CD, just go exchange it for a new one. If it's not yur CD then try downloading some drivers for your disc reader. Oh and close all the unneccesary processes in the tsk manager like it says in the game manual.
In the UK you can return anything and get your money back as as long as a) you've got the receipt and b) if they haven't purposely stated at the time of purchase that its exempt from being returned (which they didnt do for me)! So go and return it anyway, just in case it is that.jordanmillward_1 wrote:

Im pretty sure it doesn't say internet required on it. And did you even read my post? You can return it......end of.jordanmillward_1 wrote:
It is possible that you could return it, but since it has Internet Required on it, they'll probably just lump it in with WoW and Guild Wars and not let you take it back.
I have the box here with me, it says "Internet Registration Required", which would probably mean you need the internet to use itbuLLet_t00th wrote:

Usually if you keep telling them its the law and ask to speak to the manager, they'll take it back. They dont want the hassle either. I know about this because I used to work in Argos who have the crappy 'This is exempt from our 16 day money back guarantee', and customers usually got pretty pissed when I told them that actually meant something!jordanmillward_1 wrote:
I can still imagine some stores just not taking it back though, whether it's the law or not. If they don't take it back, you'd have to get involved with Trading Standards, and the vast majority of people can't be bothered to do that.
Yea, it is funny how many people don't read the Terms + Conditions, or don't listen to them saying that it isn't returnable when you buy it, and then whine afterwards saying that they were scammedbuLLet_t00th wrote:
