It wouldn't have said it's not pants
No it's not. It's only a valid reason if it doesn't perform/do as it says.
Or if you use the distance selling act as you have a right to see before you buy.
I don't think even the distance selling act has you covered when it comes to media if it's been unsealed, due to the ease of copying them before you return them.
I hope nobody on MM is ignorant enough to buy it if he's used the key.
I don't think it matters does it?
Well if he's used the online function at all it's permanently tied to your key (one online account per customer, basically). So if he sells the game on MM now he's going to have to change all his details in his EA account and sell that too, I hope someone likes his username.
With a bit of luck he's not used it online, so as long as the game is uninstalled it will be good as new.
The OP already admitted it's an excuse. Seriously, who even reads the EULA?
Don't understand what you mean by the second part. If you had a valid reason for returning an item (e.g.. it was damaged) there would be no cause for embarassment.
Yes, and I already agreed with you that it's dishonest. Did you miss that bit?
So why would there be any cause for embaressment in saying you don't agree with the EULA?
Me and my brother play it, we have it on a shared HDD, i play it on online mode and he plays it on OFFLINE mode

Sell it on the MM, Hah!
He wants his money back, not half the price back
You know how some are on there!
Whats the MM?
Members Market
The problem is that it doesn't do anything to deter pirates, it was cracked and on the net almost a week before it came out. EA know full well that SecuROM is completely useless, and only affects legitimate buyers, but they still put it in their games and this sends completely the wrong message to customers.
From my point of view, they are basically saying: "We don't care if you don't like it, we don't care if it doesn't work. We don't trust you not to illegally copy our game and we're going to impose a number of rules on what you can/cannot do with your own possession. There's nothing you can do about it."
If the protection actually worked I think most people wouldn't complain.

Slightly off topic but I bought the Bourne game on the 360 a couple of months ago and only played the first couple of levels it was so pants (as i suspected but my brother wanted to try it). Anyways I took it back to 'Generic big highstreet store' and asked for store credit or a refund. They asked for my reason and I said because it was awful and they shrugged and gave me the full RRP in store credit!
back on topic - By the sounds of what you lot are saying its probably easier for someone to get a cracked version of spore than negotiate all the EA rubbish DRM. They really really annoy me as a company.
Oh and a similair situation with Vista, I belive that was cracked a month or two before it was even released.
