My friend bought a Halo for PC CD and found that it doesn't have the CD Key on it or with it!
Who or Where can I contact to get one (legally)?

Dude, didn't you just post this:
"Directing to, or encouraging cracks, illegal downloads and etc. is strictly prohibited in these forums...

This is your last warning on this thread
Next time there will be no warning..."


Your "friend" needs to contact the person he bought the game from for a return or exchange because the CD key should have been on the outside sleve of the CD, if it ain't...then he bought an illegal copy.

And for anyone else trying to use the "legitimate-retailler-sold-me-a-copy-with-the-cd-key missing-story" don't bother...If the retailer did do this, then he would HAVE to take the game back because this cd + no cdkey is prima facia evidence of a pirated copy (this means the retailer would have the burden to show that he didnot sell you a pirated copy to avoid going to jail/pay max fine).

Nope I'm not looking for a crack or a free cd number, (I don't need one I- I bought an extra Halo CD for myself) , and yes I did post what you said I did post.
Nor am I trying to do anything illegal here (if I was I wouldn't do it here, and I'm not)

And what I should have said is: "What should I do?"

the reason I posted this was because I saw this same subject a week ago (and now I can't find it), about how a bunch of games were shipped without cd Key numbers, and that you were to supposed to contact some department of microsoft or gearbox and get it straightened out.. and that's what I was hoping to get directed to.

Although I should have thought about taking it back to the retailer (that's what they would probably have told you to do anyway)... Oh well I'm not perfect..

Sorry for the crossed wires.


The reason God made me forgetful is because I would have conquered the world by now.

Take it back to the store and swap for a new one. It's what I'd do.

Thanx, like I said that's what I should've thought of right off, but had a case of brainfart

I'm so tempted to unleash those ninjas. But I'm a kind robot, so I'll only warn you against posting links to illegal sites. It's your last.

Has anyone had any success contacting Microsoft about this? Or gotten any type of an official response?

You could probably sell the CD by itself on ebay to offset the cost of a new copy. I'm sure there's people that have scratched up their CD's by now and need a good copy, or just want to play on a second computer without having to transfer the CD everytime.
