Its a normal flashlight. Probably difficult to do it on a small gamestop, but in a big retail like walmart someone can steal a bunch of codes in a couple of minutes

I got a steam copy of Skyrim ultimate edition off eBay like this. Someone took a picture of the inside of the case and the serial number was visible. It wasn’t a standard steam key, but it still worked. That was ~10 years ago and I still have it on my account too.

It doesnt even matter if they lock them, even a bad actor like a wagie underpaid walmart employee could steal a bunch of codes and the person purchasing doesnt have a way to know until they get home and try to redeem it

psn activation codes dont work unless the wagie at the counter activates it at the register.

You are an actual fucking retard and your skin is probably the same color as human shit. A barcode is like the dewey decimal system for items in a store, it helps the store order those items and keep stock of inventory. It is totally separate from a gift card activation code privately managed by the American company Blackhawk Network Holdings which is activated through a licensed terminal provided by Blackhawk or one of their international subsidiaries.

Go fuck yourself, idiot.

It kind of is. Even if it was narrowed down to one store unless the culprit outright admits to it there's basically nothing that can be done since you wouldn't be able to say when it happened or who did it with any certainty.
Could have happened in the back offices at the retailer.
Could have been the driver of the truck on the way.
Could have been some guy at a distro center.
Could have been some guy in China.

You have to admit to it to get fucked, even if you take it somewhere where there's no cameras there's no proof that you did anything when you did.
>>
>>751502298
Gift card codes are typically activated at the point of sale. Each gift card UPC is unique and if you were to steal the physical card and try to use the code it wouldn't matter. It's useless.
I'm assuming video game UPC's are all the same and there's no activation process, meaning that if you can non-destructively obtain a valid code you could probably get away with using it.
Physicalfags keep losing.

You are a dumb underage person again posting. UPC is for checkout. The secondary barcode which is the unique hash string for that gift card is scanned, sent to the third party, activated, which then enables the paired code (under scratch foil) to be used.

Stop conflating UPC with a secondary barcode.

This is exactly how I got my copy of Gat out of Hell because Deep Silver was too lazy to print the game onto the same PS4 disc as Saints Row 4 Re-Elected. I just went into Gamestop and just took a picture of the code. I did this for years with every other code slip I found in stores until I switched to PC, crazy it took the goyim this long to figure it out.

It doesn't. The unlocking cope is laughable unltil someone provides proof of a second public code. And no the bar code is not unique.

It has nothing to do with my snow white Hyperborean complexion, it's all in that powerful 0.2% Askenazi blood. For another of my Talmudic tricks, remember that Black Friday is coming up and Gamestop doesn't usually update their trade in prices until the quarter ends, so you can check their trade-in prices online and buy deeply discounted games on Amazon to trade them in for more than you paid, which I also did with both SR4 and several copies of The Evil Within around the same time. Now take this information and go forth and build Cracker Barrels to the extreme, my Caucasian creation.

The difference is that this won't work for GTA6 because it needs to be activated by the cashier. Your code was a slip next to the manual but the GTA6 code is printed on the game sleeve which also has a unique bar code in the back that's scanned and activated to activate it

okay
then look up a GTA 6 and show us where the serial number/code is on the outside of the box that they'd to activate it at POS, we'll be waiting

You could do this same thing with Rock Band DLC codes and exports. I took a few pictures of Track Packs at Gamestop and entered them online. Retards here don't understand anything apparently.
>>
>>751497009
Make sure you you don't connect this console later to the internet with the same account used to activate the code, unless you want it to get turned into a brick anyways.

it's not illegal to steal a product from walmart and return the empty box?
this reminds me of the 'infinite money glitch' that went viral on tiktok only for people to find out that you cannot, in fact, fraudulently withdraw thousands from an ATM and get away with it.

99% of stores in the u.s don't put any game cases outside of locked boxes or they keep them in a back room so the only person who could redeem it is the employee and they would get found out pretty fast if a bunch of people started returning them to certain stores
>>
>>751511016
most receipts have a time and date on them and they can look in their system on when the code was redeemed, they theoretically could
>>
>>751512738
uk became like that too once the population hit the 75% white mark
>>
>>751511016
Anon Playstation and Xbox keeps a record of when codes are used and at what time. If you show the box and with receipt then they can cross reference it. Depending on the laws of where you report it from, the account that used the stolen code may be permanently suspended

The bar code on the box that the cashier scans does not tie it to the game code inside the box
Bar codes are not unique per each copy of the game

I guess that works but are you depending on gamestop calling up Rockstar or Sony to correct it?
>>
>>751513345
typically you can send images to Sony/Rockstar support. I know I have for an unrelated issue, when they asked me proof for something. No point in trying to lie about this as when this happens the person who used the old code either gets whatever is used revoke or account banned. It's why grey market key sites like G2A can be risky
>>
>>751497009
Where's the code? All I see is a grey box where you have to scratch to reveal the code. What's the trick on showing the letters/numbers in that box without scratching it off?
>>

>return the empty box
What did you remove from the box? The box still has everything in it still, even though that coincidentally means its empty. You didn't even open the box. When someone buys that game, they'll go home, contact support, get no help, go to walmart, and then be told they can't take a return on an open game, and then that person will just have to buy a new one.

Nothing bad can possibly come from doing this.
>>
>>751497009
Wait so its not even like a game key card where you need the disk in to play? Forget the flashlight whats stopping someone from just refunding the game as soon as they they get the code

A no-refund policy. Best Buy and Walmart don't allow video game refunds, while Target and Gamestop only allow video game refunds if its unopened, exchanges if opened (and Gamestop limits this to "defective" items).
