Sticking it to the man.

Was there ever a time when you either cheated or manipulated the system in your favor like exploiting a loophole that allowed you to buy stuff at half price. Personally I have two instances: after randomly applying to a sweepstakes I got a free version of Prince of Persia which I promptly took to my local WalMart and convinced Cust. Service that it was theirs but I didnt want it(got store credit). The other was when for a time used Gamestop as a rental service when I had my original Xbox.

I got my copy of Halflife: Blue Shift for -£5. Yeah. Negative £5. It was £5 to begin with and came with £10 off. Unfortunately it was part of another deal which DID cost money or I'd have left there quite wealthy.

While this is not really cheating the system, but for my birthday about 2 years ago my mom got me Avatar: The Game for my birthday. I told her I didn't want the game and that it was bad, so my mom let me return it. They gave me my 60 dollars back and I used 40 of those dollars to buy The Orange Box and Saint's Row 2. I felt like I was cheating the system after getting both of those games for only 40 dollars.
