No rights at all, the store may take it back though if they have a no quibbles refund doodah thingiemebob
 
I dont see why not mate. If its all unused you should have no problem. Most places give 30 days (round abouts) to return items.

Get rid and buy a new graphics card instead. Good lad!

They do have a no quible guarantee actually :-D So even thought i've removed the plastic around the game etc i can take it back?

Depending on the shop that might be a little awkward. They might take it as preowned. Is the console still sealed?


Edit: Ah just re-read your post, i think this will all depend on store policy to be honest. Worth a try.
 
You don't have a right to return it here unless it is faulty, however depending on the stores policy they might take it back and either give you a refund or a credit note (possibly minus a restocking fee). The SoGA isn't designed so that you can try something then decide you don't like it before returning it, it's simply there to ensure that in the event of a problem with your purchase you have rights relating to it. :)
 
Highly unlikely you wil get anywhere but it depends on where it was purchased as to the policy/attitude of the manager when you take it in. You wont get anywhere with the game itself though.

If it was me i would makre sure she doesnt just willy nilly get stuff you have no interest in :)
 
Unless it was Argos or Peter Jones I don't know of any store selling Xboxes that would accept opened electronics goods on the grounds of "i don't want it anymore" and unopened goods over minimum required 7 days. This is partially because high street shops starting, especially those the three notorious ones - let's call them SuperNova, Tikka and Sons Of Richard - those three are absolute cowboys when it comes to any service, let alone customer service - there is actually written store policy at SuperNova which says that if customer buys any item, let's say two grand worth of plasma, walks out of the store, opens the box and finds that TV set inside is actually pink, or scratched, or has been clearly used before - if he tries to return it managers must do everything in their power to charge said customer 20% restocking fee on grounds of "open box policy" hanging above Customer Service counter. Check it out next time you visit the shop. And don't ever buy anything over £50 from them.
Anyway - I digress - another issue is - high street shops don't do it because knowledge level of their staff is too low to verify if the item is actually what it should be and if it's fully working, so people would keep returning stuff that failed to chip properly or where internals were transferred to another box for upgrade etc etc. It's a known fact students in London would "rent" PC peripherials, printers, and cameras from Argos for years before they started exclusions on their no quibble money back policy.

There isn't even a "minimum required 7 days" if you buy it in a store. Basically, as soon as you walk out, and the store has a policy of not accepting "unwanted goods" refunds, you are stuffed.

7 days is only when ordering online, over the phone or some other distance-selling method.

So essentially, what you're saying is, both the shop and customers are out to screw each other? Sounds about right, then... :o
 
say it is a unwanted birthday present I used to always do it if i completed a game too quick and never had any problems doing it.
