GameStop is taking PS3 Skyrim back for FULL REFUND!

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 8:04 am

I came back from the mall an hour ago where I went to try to get a full refund for my copy of Skyrim on the PS3.

I actually bought all three versions, the PC, the Xbox360, AND the PS3! ( and the deluxe guidebook! )

It is clear that the PS3 version is broken. I was getting the same slideshows that many are showing on YouTube. What is VERY worrying to me is that now that I am 80 hours into the Xbox360 version, the same thing is starting to happen!

My friend also showed me how the Xbox360 version corrupted his hard drive and he had to buy a new one. :brokencomputer:

So I had enough, and decided to give GameStop a whirl. The manager did not even haggle or anything, he said they were 'aware' of the issues the PS3 version is having and that he just today got the authority from HIS manager to give back full store credit - OR if a customer asks - full CASH refunds.

I was SHOCKED

GameStop NEVER does this, and I spoke more with the manager. He plays the game as well, and he owns the 360 version. I described the problems I was having and he said he is 110 hours in and is having the same problems, a so called 'slideshow'. He was a tad upset because his 'mage was broken in the last patch' ( I guess the spell protection thingy? )

I was impressed by this manager. It feels good to have the cash in my pocket. I can't remember GameStop giving cash back for a game, can anyone?!!? Anyone else get their cash back? Anyone else even try yet?

I am a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls games! I forgot to mention the PC version was the Dragon one, I have it on my display case. It is so awesome.

Weird. I haven't seen a corporate recall refund since MLB 2K6 didnt work for 75% of the people that bought it.

Didnt have the same kind of luck. My ps3 save was around 7mb and would drop to almost 0 fps. I tried to take it back to gamestop today and they would only take it as a trade. Since I have one hell of an addiction to this game I got it for 360. I sent gamestop and bethesda an email of what happened and currently awaiting a response. Not getting my hopes up

I guess people need more clarification. I live in New York, and the manager said it just came down today to give refunds if people ask but not to promote it.

As for why I have three versions - it is simple. I am a FAN! And I am not 'rich'. I have saved every month since the games announcement as I knew a 'deluxe' version of some kind would be available. 20 bucks a month covered it all really. It is not that hard to save money

I had zero problems from launch until now. Read up on it a bit and apparently once the save game file hits a certain size you "may" experience some framerate issues. Mine made it basically unplayable
