hahaha. I'll have to check my copy of bioshock tonight. if I remember correctly, the activation is done without the need for a serial key to be entered. I just clicked activate and it went about it there have been a few cases where I've gotten a game and it has an embedded activation key different to the box (so I get two activation keys).
Well I did phone the game shop just for interest. With this particular version of the game you need a CD key and it will activate automatically. However some of the die games were shipped without the CD key.
A few hours later they send me an SMS with the key in question but the CD is done for as in not even superman with superglue will ever fix that disk again.
“just for the record CD key = DVD activation key” I am just so use to say and write CD key”

hahaha, so all it would have taken was a quick call and you wouldn't feel like a chop now =P
With piracy being so high, I honestly think companies need to review WHY the piracy is occuring, before they decide on the next great security system. You're always going to have the bad apples who want everything for free and no effort on their part, but there are a number of people out there who would be more willing to buy, if a certain criteria was met. this ranges from free additional content that can only be used with an original copy, to slashing the prices. 99 times out of 100 a price cut will get more units sold, because by cutting the price you are ensuring the game is more available to lower income groups. It's all about giving a better balance rather than trying to take the gamer for a ride.
