Will shops like GAME let you swap a PS2 version of a game for the PC version without asking to see a receipt providing you pay for any price difference?

Reason I ask is because Gameplay have sent me the PS2 version of Pro Evo 6 when I ordered the PC version, and I don't want to have to mess around with their returns procedure+wait another few days.
 
Also what is the preowned trade in value of the PS2 version likely to be? I see the game sells new for 29.99 and my copy is obviously in brand new condition, whilst the PC version is only going to be around 17.99 I think. (or will it be more expensive in the shops?)

May be better off just going to somewhere like eplay and trading it in as a pre-owned.

Shops let you trade in games and you can put the money towards other games. If the game your giving them is sealed they'll unseal it. (I think that answers your question)

You can always try the old "My Nan sent it to me for my birthday but did no keep the recipt. She bought the PS2 version instead of the PC version. Can I swap and pay the difference (if any)"

Yeah I think that's the best bet.

You are going to lose 13 quid cos you dont wanna phaff about :eek:
 
Lol no of course not, I didn't pay for the PS2 version(29.99), I paid for the PC version(17.99) but received the PS2 version.

I guess I'm effectively 12 quid up, but the PS2 version is worthless to me because I don't have a PS2. So I want to be able to somehow get a PC version today without sending my copy back to Gameplay.
 
The main thing I need to know now is how much the preowned value of a basically brand new version of Pro Evo 6 on the PS2 is likely to be?

Thanks
 
I think you will have a better chance trying stores like WH Smith or something like that. They are less likly to have heard all the old excuses and may even be charging more for the game...!

Saying that the only time I have managed to pull that off the game was sealed.
 
Both GAME and Gamestation refused to take it due to lack of receipt.

Took it to HMV and not only did they replace it with the PC version, but they also paid me the difference (3 pounds) by giving me a gift card.
 
Why don't you order the 17.99 PC version again, and sell the PS2 version on the MM or something for £25 or so.

The buyer gets a good deal, you get your PC version plus £7 profit...
