416284 2005-12-28 22:01:00 The original Sims game?

Whats that go for, 4 or 5 bucks?

Buy another copy .





Though its sounds like a fine trick, Perhaps one day I can buy my boy a game and hide the serial, should be good for a laugh or two . :rolleyes: :cool: :p

416285 2005-12-28 23:00:00 Of course we do believe you Winston001, that you purchased the game, and that it came with no serial ... !

This old thread would have no meaning at all here, I am sure?

416286 2005-12-28 23:57:00 Actually do you know stores policy of not accepted opened software for return is illegal?
Check out the Commerce Commissions cases on it. They can't do it.
Of course you would probably have to have a bit of a fight about it but if there is a legitimate reason...


How so? Do you have any links because I find that quite an interesting proposition.

416287 2005-12-29 00:09:00 By golly GF, I do regret not meeting you in Chch to spill some coffee in your lap . Cheeky chap . :D

In fact call me naive but I only realised it was possible to obtain games on P2P a few days ago when I absentmindedly entered a software title into Limewire . I thought it was only used for music . :confused:

Metla is sort of right - it is The Sims and cost about $20 . As opposed to The Sims 2 which costs about $84 . But its a beastly swiz to sell a game without the serial number .

I've looked at the plastic case many times but there is no number there . There is a 0900 number for info and I tried the online help site but got a computer reply . Grrrrrrr!

I might try Dangerous Daves suggestion .

Essentially I am annoyed that my daughter has been disappointed . She has a present she cannot use and is worried it is her fault .

Can't be bothered searching again - have a look yourself under Fair Trading etc, they have some examples and the software thing was one of them....

416289 2005-12-29 02:40:00 Have you tried entering the barcode number ?

On all my Sims CD's the number is on the back, bottom left hand corner.

416292 2005-12-29 04:42:00 Gee, I wonder how many of us PM'd him a serial....... :thumbs: Metla (12)
416293 2005-12-29 04:48:00 Well..... I certainly considered a PM from one of our old CD's. But then thinking that Winnie was, after all, an officer of the Court, having taken an oath to the Queen to uphold all that's holy, etc.... I gave the idea away. After all I would hate the idea of .............. Scouse (83)
