So in a fit of nostalgia I decided to get a Nintendo 3DS and the new Pokemon game. Went to Gamestop, they were sold out of 3DS. The guy says well hey check out this 2DS.
Ok.
Can I open it?
No.
Do you have a model in store?
No.
Ok well if I don't like it I can just bring it back right?
No. Federal copyright law.
what...the...f**k
fortunately Wal-Mart had 3DS in stock (seriously this Gamestop is poorly managed).
But how is it that copyright law has gotten so bad that they are afraid of somebody buying a game console and returning it?

The guy was an incompetent and doesn't know what he's talking about.

Well he also lost a sale. So it seems weird to me that somebody would say something like that, when they are trying to sell me something.

They just don't want to take returns. So, he made up something. He could have just as easily said "RICO".
