How are they able to get the ID number off the card?

If they have the number, why can't they activate it themselves?

Something about this just doesn't quite make sense to me. :odd:
TB
No box. No window. It's just a card with the silver scratch off stuff. Like I said. As long as that is still there, it should be all good.
Yeah, I actually think the safest thing to do is to take it straight home, transfer the funds to your PSN wallet, and then toss the card. At that point no one can get to the funds unless they have access to your account.

But the way cards work now they can only be taken if they have the code under the scratch off stuff. So, if you buy a card without the scratch off part then that is your own problem.

And there is no way to only transfer part of the card to your wallet. You enter the card number and it transfers the full amount to your wallet.


Now, I do know that there was some talk of older Xbox Live cards that didn't have the scratch off thing and people would write the number down, but I don't know how accurate those are. It seems to me like in that case the scam only has a chance of working if the card is a gift, thus is unused for days after activation, or if the person who buys it lets it sit for days.
 
Just arrived this morning: Autocourse 2008-09. (Number 25 in my collection :sly:)

Newest purchase!
Not my image, but what I'm getting.

Should be here at the end of April. :D
Hardwood flooring. Very nice. Get some help putting it in though. It seems easy but at the end of the day you will be sore.

Picture taken still inside box, duh. It's an 8GB 2nd Gen. And I love it already :D Browsing Facebook on it is actually easier than using my laptop.

Oh, and I got myself a crystal case because I don't want it scratched to hell like my last iPod.
 
So… many… jokes…
Pfft, whatever. When I'm doing pinky-pullups you won't be laughing.

Also got these as they were on clearance and I need to start running again in a few weeks. I've used the Nike Free 7.0s before and I love them. So I figured I'd go for the 3.0s next. Hopefully they fulfill my expectations.

NOTE: I got two.

iPhone and iPod screens don't scratch. The back does.

You run in Frees? Wow.
 
Bubble Wrap and Cable Ties make a more pleasurable experience for all involved. And you're a nerd, so you have Bubble Wrap and Cable ties.

Ugh, now you've lost half the dimension benefits of the iTouch! Why didn't you get the rubber backing?

Or anti-static bags and cable ties.


This is going horribly off-topic...:ill:

Sort of OT: Still haven't received my personalized license plates that were ordered about 35 days ago.
 
Party balloon and ribbon bow FTW!

or discarded empty crisp packet* and laggy band for the eco minded.

Nice! I got the same one for my dad during Newegg's Black Friday sale for $99. Where'd you get this steal?

Our local Costco. It was the last of their stock of 250's making way for the 260's which they have for $130.


I have to say though, I'm on the fence. I bought the following TomTom One almost two years ago:



And while it works great, for the cost of the latest map update, it was close to the cost of that Nuvi 250, so I figured I might as well just get the Nuvi and use the TomTom One as an extra GPS for guests.

However after using both at the same time to see how they compare, I'm not crazy about the Nuvi. :indiff:

It's not bad mind you, it's just that it is missing some features that the TomTom has that I really like.

I'm going to give it a little more time and do some more side by side comparisons. I'll post my specific thoughts in the following thread:

I had been looking for this in the local Walmart for a while and they didn't have it. To my pleasant surprise today, they had 1 copy in stock, so I grabbed it before someone else did. 👍 :)
 
Yeah, DN, TomTom has Mr. T on the box so it's automatically superior.
 
Here are my two latest purchases - A ticket to see the greatest Australian punk band, Frenzal Rhomb (only $27!) and an awesome tattoo of a chimpanzee.

got myself a pair of Onitsuka Tiger - Mexico 66 Lauta Trainers. I got rid of the red laces and put a set of white ones in.
