Kotaku has an article alleging shenanigans may be taking place at games retailer GameStop. While many publishers and developers have complained about GameStop's used game sales, this story is about the possibility some used games are being sold as new, as it describes a "check out" policy that allows employees of the chain to take games home for sampling, alleging that these games are later sold as new. They have contacted the FTC to confirm that such a practice would indeed be illegal, but were unable to learn whether this was being investigated. Similarly, GameStop replied to their queries with a no comment, saying: "We do not comment on corporate policies that are competitive in nature."
