Just when you thought the RIAA couldn't get any worse....
Jackie Blue:
All the record stores around here accept opened new CDs, as long as you have a receipt and it's been less than 10 days or so. Some stores limit you to store credit for them but I think the major chains will let you return pretty much anything.

Eh, they could also argue that people can put a CD on their computer and then return the CD to the record store, which I refer to as "poor man's Napster".

I'm not a big fan of downloading, but I've always thought this was somehow a bit more of a dickish thing to do.
Jackie Blue:
Actually, if you buy a CD and then return it, the label and artist still get the money, it's the record store who has to eat the cost or re-sell it as a "used" copy. So as long as you do it to a major chain store, I think it's morally a bit less dickish than downloading an album.

I have never had this experience with any media item (DVD, video game, etc.). And as a casual employee of the Target Corporation, I can tell you that definitely does not fly there.
Jackie Blue:
It must vary by location. The Gamestop here lets you return games and DVDs, I know Wal-Mart lets you return basically anything. I know someone who returned an opened PS2, no questions asked.
