“When I opened the box up, the cling film wrap fell out. I could not believe it,” he said. “I have two children and my son plays Xbox all the time. He could easily have opened the box and found them.” He later received an apology from the store, but he still feels that stricter checking is in order. “It was a pre-used game, but that should not make a difference,” he said. “My wife is beside herself over this because she keeps thinking about what could have happened and so do I.”
