I'm just saying that there's a high likelihood that retail jokeys aren't going to have a clue as to what you're talking about. They get paid minimum wage and most are too lazy to read the appropriate memos from corporate.
So, your best bet is to either find a store that already accepts opened cds, or find a decent employee who's up on the latest Universal return policies.
I realized that you disagree with me somewhat, though. So, if i'm wrong, i'll find out in a few days when I try to buy and return F&F. :)

I just called my fiancee, who's a media senior at Best Buy, and she says noone there has heard anything about it, and that they would definitely not accept an opened cd.

P.S. --- according to FatChucks.com, this cd is rippable using a program called "Total Recorder", from
www.highcriteria.com. So, if anyone does this, be sure to rip it and make the mp3's available on Gnutella.
