Right, I was hankering for a bit of ass creed yesterday and I thought i'd start with ac2, having played the first one to death and all, I only own ac2 on the 360 so I brought it out of the cupboard, dusted it off and started playing. At this point I feel that I should say my alliances are 98% with the PS3 and only have a 360 for the exclusive games (Mass Effect, Gears Of War etc) anyway, as i was playing, the bulky 360 controller just didn't do it for me and eventually I decided to go to town and see if i could direct swap my 360 version for a PS3 copy, but to my mild surprise, out of 2 franchises and 1 independent retailer none would ablige me. I've consulted my mates and they say it sounds reasonable but im still feeling pretty hard done by. So the reason for this post is to ask this question: was I expecting to much or was I right to think that they would swap? What d'ya think?

You were expecting too much. Retailers, independent or franchise, are there to make money. They don't make money doing direct swaps.

Now if it had been a recent purchase and you claimed it wasn't working or that it had been a gift purchase that you had picked up for the wrong console (but then you would have to explain why the shrink wrap is open)....

I have no idea why a company wouldn't trade you a brand new game for a used game that would result in a loss of money.

No idea. What so ever.

EDIT: On a serious note... did you really expect them to do so? Or where you just hoping?

Yeah a discount or something maybe in the case of a trade in but it is a little strange to expect a new game. Possibly if it was still in the return period but the layer of dust factor makes that unlikely.

Oh sweet crunchy snickerdoodles, there's no way I'm the only one who read this thread's title as "Couldn't Swamp Ass Creed 2".
