Why rent when you can pwn?
If you use redbox and rent for one of your consoles you might want to read this.
I ended up waiting at the McDonalds around 20 minutes for someone to answer the phone, and they gave me three free rental codes (worth $1.20 each, note the game rentals are $2.00/night) to make up for it. I ended up trying to rent Black Ops II again at the same Redbox location, and the second disk had also been replaced by paper! The third and last disk in the machine, however, ended up being fine.
So I called the next day as well and got three more free codes for the second disk. So it definitely appears as if someone was trying to defraud Redbox of multiple copies of the game, possibly with a stolen credit card as well because every time you rent a disk, you need to swipe a credit card. I ended up paying a total of around $3.60 and got the game rental and four remaining rental codes which expire in 45 days, which is not a bad deal overall for me. This appears to be their standard operating procedure, as I have had issues with scratched DVDs and when I called they did the same thing. I’m satisfied with their response, and it’s unfortunate that someone is trying to take advantage of Redbox.
Sigh… Didn’t even try to make a direct copy.
But I’m not the only one.
It seems I’m part of this trend.
During the week of December 8 through 14, U.S. consumers spent $6.9 billion online, an 11 percent increase over 2011, according to data released today by market analyst ComScore.
Now if only Black Friday could be like this. 😛

Another greifer video will be posted tomorrow night-ish. 😛 From Left 4 Dead, of course…
It’s been a hard days night.
Everyone’s struggling to get their last minute Christmas shopping. Stress is flying around the store, we’ve been having regional visitors so management has been up in arms about everything. Hours are still being cut, people are still understaffed and having to do extra work while management expects everything to be absolutely perfect. We have a corporate visit coming in the morning and the bosses want EVERYTHING to look perfect. So I got a bit of overtime in tonight. It helped too, especially since half of my shift was putting returns away and recovery didn’t take place until just before the store closed.
And if that wasn’t enough I had some big fat dude hovering around me for about five minutes. He said I was gorgeous, then went away… then came back wondering if I was single. I lied and told him I wasn’t available. Something about him just didn’t seem right to me, and I would find out later that my instincts helped me dodge a bullet. Him and his brother needed a fitting room, so I opened one up. Then a little later I guess he stole a pair of jeans and turned in his old ones at our service desk claiming he wanted an exchange. I don’t know how he managed to fool them. Seeing as they were wet on the outside and had skid-marks on the inside.
And people still wonder why I’m single…
Sunday Morning Open Thread
Well, later today I get an hour lunch. Meaning I get to test drive the new laptop. I’ve already been playing some games on it with no lag whatsoever. I’m thinking CS:GO for lunch. 🙂
So apparently I have google plus.
Since I’m a member of YouTube as well as google (due to my old blogger profile) apparently I now have a google plus. Luckily with none of my personal information on it.
So if you happen to find me on there and wonder why I’m not doing much with it, it’s because all my stuff will be riiiiiiight here where it belongs.
