GameStop guarantees cover-art, instruction book for all pre-owned games

A new GameStop guarantee promises an instruction book and cover-art for all used games purchased through the company’s website.

According to the new promise, all Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, and DS games purchased at GameStop.com will ship to you with both cover-art and an instruction manual.

The guarantee is good online only and does not apply to consoles, accessories, movies or UMD.

Now, no mention was made in the announcement of whether or not that cover-art will be the game’s genuine cover, but some cover-art is a step in the right direction.

I don’t often order from GameStop.com but one time that I do recall, I purchased a used copy of Tony Hawk’s Project 8 (don’t judge me), and received that wretched generic boxart as well as no instruction manual, which I actually enjoy reading. Glad it won’t happen again!
