....why isnt this locked yet.....the rants about steam and being online to play are locked but this isnt?

I would consider it a donation if they (the makers of the game) offered raffle tickets (for far less than the cost of the cost of the game) and the winner got a creature or weapon named after them in the next game. A robot named The Bomfinator would be sweet.

Look, times are tough all over, some have excess cash, some don't. My video game budget has been severely cut the last year, so I only get games that I am certain I'll get the most time out of anf will wait until I trade in or they get discounted for others. You should try and find a solution without resorting to asking for handouts via the Internet. Trade in some games and get the credit and then save up the rest.

How do you know your parents have not ordered it you for Christmas?
or are you now going to tell me or your a jew?

Well said. There was plenty of time leading up to the release date (1 year practically April 2009) to have gotten a job or saved up. Or just trade in an old set of games or something at a game store.

I tried trading games in, mine are to old...

kid's these days dont have much brain power :/
They think if they can laze around they can get it another way

Closed for review of appropriateness for this forum. I feel for the OP, but I really don't think this is going to work...
