We all know stealing from people, no matter how rich, is bad (apart from Bill Gates, that is); what about stealing from companys and corporations? They can afford it. Is it okay to steal from my local GAME store? They have CCTV and gaurds, it's fair play. What about my local Gamestation? I ask because the prices we are expected to pay are higher now than in the hayday of videogaming; it's un-fair. Anyway, this is a bit random but I've gotta be in town in half an hour and I wanted to see peoples responses tomorrow.

If you manage to walk out of any of those shops with a stolen game then I salute you.

For starters they keep all the games behind the counter, you'll at most end up with an empty case.

no, you take the case to the counter, wait for the jackass to put the game in the box, begin to hand over your switch card, then grab the game and run like your is on fire.

or so i hear

While wearing skin tight black clothing, and a balaclava, with a holstered Walther PPK in around your waist.

They won't suspect a thing.

Games aren't too expensive...

Buying a game like Zelda that has spent years of man power in development, even longer researching plus the productions costs for a mere £30 odd...

I'd say that was well worth it.

Just Lower the GBA prices.

From my knowlege of the layout of such shops, you'd be lucky to get out alive...
you'll notice as you try to make a getaway that imediately that a man and his girlfriend will be blocking the direct route to the door..
so you'll have to go through the narrow part of the shop by the gameboys only to be greeted by a mysterious group of kids in school uniform whom you will have to squeeze past...
If you make it this far well done, but your forgetting the lady with the pram at the door having positioned it so as to make leaving the store nigh on impossible...
as you realise the futility of the situation the member of staff who lives in the backroom will have caught you.
Before they get the police involved they will chain you up and force you to play superman 64 for 96 hours, or until you can only utter the words 'solve my maze'
