Followup about Black and White 2
I went to EA’s site and found some information about a 90-day return policy for defective software. I decided to give it a shot, and sent the opened game and receipt, and included a letter asking them to refund the purchase price because the game’s listed requirements were incorrect.
Turns out the policy is only for games purchased directly from EA. However, they were still very helpful. They sent me back a sealed copy of the game, within Fry’s 15-day return period. I was able to return it to Fry’s without a problem. I originally purchased it on sale for $42.99 or so, and Fry’s re-labeled it at $49.
Everyone wins. I got my money back, the retailer is re-selling the game for more than they originally sold it for, and EA gets feedback about their requirement policies.
