So the way to tell if your copy is real or not is if it comes on a yellow sticker? So if its a pirate one its on a yellow sticker?
Please answer :-)
I'll bet the counterfeiters have figured out how to get yellow stickers, too :-)
The "yellow sticker" is just advice to people about what number to look for (as opposed to the "Product ID" shown in the game menu, which is not what we want here). Having one doesn't guarantee the software is genuine.
My advice is that if you buy a game as new from a store, and it comes with a key that you can already find on Google (as some people here have done), you should get the store to give you a full refund, or you can feel free to report software counterfeiting to www.bsa.org - but only do this if you're certain of it, like when you get a key that is clearly found online as a "free" halo pc key.
Unfortunately Bungie can't really help here - like if you go to a bank and say that someone just gave you this fake $20 bill, they'll say thanks and take it from you - but they don't give you a new one.
Ok thanks for the reply sawnose :)
Im ordered it from ebay so I cant really return it, but the seller has 12000 positive votes so hopefully it will be legit.
...If its a pirate one ill burn it.
