[quote="Short Hand":e88b9]Now that I think about it maybe the thing was ripped off in store for the cd key. It is happening a lot now because of online cd key verification.

Yeah, You just open the game box in the store. If they ask what you're doing you just say "I wanna make sure I'm not getting ripped off."

You're not damaging merchandise, or stealing anything. (Cept the CD key)
