Additionally, Software, ETC's policy on returns (from a receipt addendum):

        1.      All _opened_ video games may be returned or exchanged within
                48 hours.

        2.      All other merchandise may be returned or exchanged within
                30 days.

        3.      All returns require a receipt.

        4.      All returns must be in a resaleable (new) condition.

        Etc.
