"Stealing videogames..."

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.

In all fairness the only problems that face you are getting the actual games that are behind the counter and getting out without making the sensors at the door go off. If you are going with friends you can just get them to distract the store workers with inane babble and the people at the counter are always busy anyway.

nahh it's not that bad, theres just a mounted turret above the shop door that fires on anyone stupied enough to get found out.

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'

Probably on these forums...

They all lie...

"Whooops, I accidently fell over, grabbed a game a rolled out of your store. What a shame."

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.

They won't suspect a thing.

plus i think I read somewhere that stealing video games is good for the economy.

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
