WOW i'm so happy...Everyone, go to blockbuster and look in the Xbox Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow boxes, not the ones that you take to the front counter, the box that the game comes in...the boxes are packaged with 2 or 12 month subscription cards!!!!!!!!!!! I found 2 of the 12-month cards which will let you start an account or extend your existing one, and I got about 20 of the 2 month ones which only let you start a new account and expire in september. My blockbuster had about 20 Splinter Cell PT boxes so I guess I was in luck!! Have fun, and remember who to thank!!!! :D :D
 
Sounds lucky to go to a Blockbuster where the employees are both stupid enough to not remove these cards and keep them for themselves or at least in the back or something (since they never give you manuals with games) and stupid enough to not call the cops on you for stealing from them.
 
Ok let me make this clear. I'm a Blockbuster customer, I rented splinter cell pandora tomorrow and another game, so, that makes me entitled to get a free card, capiche? If you're gonna be scared to take something so petty, then someone else will. It's like taking a reduced subscription card from a magazine at Borders. Would you be scared to do that? Ok so I took a few of the cards from different magazines for example, does that make me such a thief? Well if you're scared to do that then you have problems, you should grow up and grow some balls while you're at it...
 
Hey, my BB had the memory card for Animal Crossing in the box for the longest time despite the fact that it said it was there right on the box. I almost took it a couple of times, but I figure I'm getting game soon anywas..
 
So for renting splinter cell for ~$8 you're entitled to 22 xbox live subscription cards? I think not. I really don't think the 2 month is that big of a deal, so if you took one, I wouldn't have thought you were a total douche nozzle.

magazines pretty much expect people to take them. That is why there are like four or five in every magazine. If you open it up to check it out they have loose ones in there for people like that

I do not agree. st0neface is not a douce bag. In fact he is pretty cool. You my friend are the douche for not at least asking first if you could take one

And I emphasize, ONE maybe two, not 22. Whats in hell are you going to do with 20 free 2 month trials? Napkins? Toilet paper?
 
I got this great deal, you can get any game you want for free, here's how it's done. Go into a store and steal the game. I feel so l33t every time I do this, I'm such a CAG.

If he is a douchebag he's probably been in more cooter than you'll ever see.
 
I beat the pussy, I don't clean it...that douche bag is a loser like the rest of you who came here just to flame, I posted this for people interested in getting a free subscription, not for dorks who think I care about how scared they are to step out of their house.
 
Dude...the reason those subscription cards are in magazines is so you can PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE MAGAZINE. It's part of how they make money. What you did is more like taking the magazine off the rack and walking out the door with it.
 
[quote name='optimolife']http://ebaumsworld.com/forumfun/whocares6.jpg[/quote]

Was that in reference to your OWN thread. Yes, you are a smart one.
 
The reason they are left in the boxes are because they sell those games when their popularity goes down. Would you like to buy a game that didn't come with everything it's supposed to? Probably not. Neither will anyone else. So you just cost your Blockbuster 2 future game sales. In answer to your question...BlockBuster cares. Go turn yourself in.
 
to Mr Unoriginal, your name definitely suits you, your replies are tasteless and extremely unoriginal, stupid I would even say. To methane, first of all that makes no sense. Who the hell would expect to buy a used game and have it come with something like that? Obviously the original owner would have used it...and also you're saying I cost blockbuster 2 sales, because the card is missing?? LOL you're an idiot. They're buying the game, not the card you moron. And 2nd, if you really care so much about a multi-million dollar company losing a stupid card that came with a game, I see a great future for you as a Blockbuster employee. Heck, with that attitude you might even become a manager. Have a great life.

Oh and anyone else who finds the 12-month cards, post here!

Sigh, must I go through this with every newbie? And even more to the point, none of my comments were tasteless at all. Certainly not as tasteless as suggesting everyone steal for a good deal.

When you're old enough to get a job and find someone who hires you, you may understand what exactly you've done. Obviously, your still forming brain can't seem to wrap around how things work in the real world yet, so I won't bother explaining it to you again.

BTW..."Obviously the original owner would have used it" makes no sense at all...why would BlockBuster use the card? They wouldn't...they'd sell it with the game. It was part of the package and they intended on reselling it with the package which is why they were not removed from the boxes or ganked by the employees.

[sarcasm]Yes, I have played countless games on XBox Live with the Blockbuster Corporation, so obviously they would have used the free subscription cards, why would anyone suspect otherwise?[/sarcasm]
Dude, this isn't a deal, it's a scam, maybe you should post how to make free money on EBay by selling info about cheap games and posting a link to this website, or by selling a product that doesn't exist at all. If you have any deals please post them for the rest of us to enjoy, but we don't need to hear about your shoplifting exploits.

The maturity of some of the members here really amaze me sometimes.
 
Either than, or we have a higher level of self worth than you, and our dignity is worth more to us that 50 dollars a year.

You can slice anyway you want... you're a thief. It may not be on a major scale, but you're a thief nevertheless.
 
pussies. I even started a thread about this on another forum, and the kid went to a blockbuster and started looking through the boxes, the manager asked what he was doing so he told him, and the manager helped him look through all the boxes and let him keep all the cards. You guys are retarted. go cry to your mommies now because I "stole" a free card that no one gives a shit about. You think if blockbuster really card they would actually leave the cards in the boxes... LOL you guys are hilarious. Biggest bunch of pussies I ever seen.

Maybe I'm a grizzled old man but I don't see how this is stealing. What if the Blockbuster employee threw the card away? What if they willingly gave it out to people, like a bin of them at the register? What if it sat in the case, undetected till expiration? Then what? Too bad for everyone? What if he asked the manager or some other competent employee and they said "yes, you can have them", is it still stealing?
 
*whoosh the sound of reason going over optimolife's head*

If you think we're all pussies than why do you continue to defend yourself? Just go back to your XBL, assuming you used your mom's credit card to sign up, and why don't you take out your aggression there. They let you curse all you want through the headset. WOW Cool!!!!

Try going to any place of business, pick reams of paperwork out of thier trash. I'd like to see how far the companies security guards let you get.


What if they willingly gave it out to people, like a bin of them at the register?

That would be different. They'd then be giving them away.. that changes the dynamic entirely.


What if it sat in the case, undetected till expiration? Then what? Too bad for everyone?

Yes. If you want a free one, send the SASE like they tell you to.


What if he asked the manager or some other competent employee and they said "yes, you can have them", is it still stealing?
Not at all. In fact, that would be the proper way to do it.
 
[quote name='lilboo']So am I locking this topic or deleting it because this is really ridiciulous.[/quote]

Do it! Do it!
 
*IDEA* ask the employee's if you can take them. I got the Zelda disk because i asked if i could take the little paper with #'s from Mario Party and Mario Kart.

That's probably the most reasonable thing anyone has said so far in this thread. On top if it, it's also the best way to handle the situation. It's worthless paper to them, but if it keeps a customer happy, they'll gladly do it. But just going in and taking it is shady, and technically theft.
 
and then...
and then...
and then I stole a cigarette from my mom's purse
and a budweiser from my dad's fridge
come on, quick, run!
Have a sip! Don't want any? Pussy.

It's like I'm hanging around 13-year olds again!

And seriously: Technically, it is stealing. You are walking into a store, taking something that is not paid for, and not given away. If you ask, and BB says, 'Sure, take 'em', more power to you. [And they might well say that.] The item has intrinsic value, BB purchased them, and did not 'officially' give them away. Thus, they are still BB's property, and you are stealing. And you must know that, otherwise you wouldn't have been so adamant about it when called upon it. Not to mention, what in blue blazes name do you need 40 of the things for? Then again, if you're 13, that might get you through till you're 30 or so.
You might actually have gotten people to, if not agree with you, at least politely disagree, had you not started cursing and calling people names, like an immature, 'bad-ass,' little tough-guy punk.
And apologies for any mature 13 year olds out there--I know most of you are decent people, and unfortunately, when I say 'These damn punkass kids today', I'm speaking of people like the OP.
 
I picked up a 12-month card at Hollywood Video today, but I did ask for it. The cashier had no idea what it was, and neither did the guy that worked in the video game section. At least I can sleep well tonight. =P

...I'm the voice of reason? were all screwed.

Really though...to employees things like inserts, banners, promos and posters dont mean a damn thing unless they need to be returned or an employee has called "Dibbs". Just ask. Worst they can say is no (i sound like my mother). If they do mind, hell, there's gotta be another blockbuster within 50 ft., go ask them...or the local rental store.

Do what i do. Make friends with the staff, then when you ask odd things like that, they understand/dont care even more.
 
What the bloody hell are you going to use 22 of them for? Handouts for your friends. Those cards are only usable by people who have never subscribed to Xbox Live before. So, unless you have 22 different credit cards you can register with most of them are completely worthless to you whereas other people might have been able to benefit from them had you not taken them. And it is stealing, even though on a very minor scale. Microsoft included them in the sealed boxes to encourage people who BUY THE GAME to get on Xbox Live. If Microsoft had intended for them to be free they wouldn't have bundled them with games, they would've started mailing them out to anyone who registers on their website or something.

I wouldn't begrudge you taking one of the cards if it was carelessly left in the case. To take so many when you can't even use them though is just greedy, selfish and pointless. Perhaps a little courtesy and common sense would've been prudent. Seeing how much of an ass you are, though, I understand that your limited intelligence doesn't allow for such things optimolife. You're the one that needs to grow up here. Post again in a few years when you pass puberty squirt.

Well I wouldn't say you need different credit cards per se. I used the same credit card for 3 of those 2 month free trials that they were giving away in XBL games before christmas. The only problem is that you have to create a different gamer tag each time.
