That only counts for things one actually 'owns'. Most software isn't technically owned by the purchaser.... they merely pay money to use the software. It's like a licence and, hence, doesn't come under the "Sale of goods act" otherwise I'd be hassling people for a refund of the TV licence. lol
Even if one could argue that one 'owns' the disk (If you bought it in box form) and, therefore, are entitled to an exchange and/or refund due to the product being faulty.... that doesn't cut any mustard either as the disk itself is undamaged and the software on the disk is in the condition it was on release and, therefore, is not legally faulty. Rather like trying to return a "Florence and the Machine" CD in a music shop because she is awful.... sorry... just because it sounds awful, the music is "as intended"
(That shocked me! First time I heard that band I nearly took my TV back to Currys. lol)
