"Reader Ben's receipt doesn't match the serial number on his defective PS3, so GameStop and Sony are refusing to repair or exchange it.
This same kind of problem has happened to one of our readers before. It turns out that an employee had inadvertently entered the SKU instead of the serial number on our Reader's XBOX. He was eventually able to prove that he hadn't switched the XBOXs, but Ben is having a much more difficult time."
Rockstar’s iconic title Grand Theft Auto V is making headlines once again—but not for the reasons fans might hope. Less than a year after GTA V joined the

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’
That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.
Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)
It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.
GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

In a world where Gambit thrived, Destiny 2’s seasons, storylines, and even its endgame might’ve revolved around PvEvP as a core foundation.
Destiny already has the pretty hyper 'raid' fixation and then they added legendary raid dungeons. Hyperfixating in PvEvP wouldn't work as well because you need a lot more than 2% of the userbase to keep that going unlike raids that are propped up by streamers who make running them their whole job. Most players don't play all the raids let alone run them over and over. And most who play PvP don't want structured PvE elements.
no...no I won't go there
It could have been his friends stolen PS3. I know people who do stuff like this. :(
Usually, these numbers are different in length. Where I worked, the system would reject the serial number format fit. I won't name the business, but it wasn't exactly a company that "kept up with the times." I have a hard time believing that these #'s were confused and that the system even accepted it.
When we'd scan the item's barcode for the serial # and so forth, the entire amount of information tied to each item would print on the receipt. As crappy as Gamestop is, I can't imagine they wouldn't have preventitive measures in place to avoid mistakes such as this. Big businesses usually take the likelihood of human error out of the equation when it comes to registering products in a system.
you XBox 360 fans can bash this if you want but it doesn't do jack in what your going to type!.
Wow I had facts and people just disagree and by the way InYourDad you don't even have that console you're just lieing!.
when i got mine (at gamestop) they took it out of the box and got the serial number. i asked what he was doing and then checked to make sure the number on receipt was same as on system before he put it back in the box. what person doesn't do this? in todays world, too many people are trying to rip stores off. so, i can't blame them for this. and, when i told the store employee to make sure he got the number right, he said the serial numbers were diff. from the other numbers and that the system wouldn't accept these other numbers for serials. anyway, if the dude didn't check this before he left the store; it's his problem, not someone else. this story sounds fishy.
