Well, I'm going to buy and try the game but I'll be buying it at EB.  EB, 
Software Etc, and Babbages all have a policy which allows you to return 
games you don't care for so there's no risk involved.  Maybe a little 
inconvenience having to take a game back but you certainly aren't going to 
lose your money for a lousy game. I wouldn't buy a game where I can't 
return it. Neither should anyone else.
