    Has this happened to you?

    I'm pissed; today I bought a SEALED box of Medieval II: Total War and I cannot find the CD key anywhere in the manual, or on the case.

    Seems the only way to contact Sega customer support was through their e-mail service. So I e-mailed them my problem and question and now I have to wait for them to reply, and to find out if they can even do anything for me.


    Has bull**** like this happened to you when buying a new PC game? Who here has bought a Medieval II: Total War game, and where did you find the damn CD key?


    EDIT: And yeah, I still have the original receipt should I need it.

      I bought Civ 3 and found out it sucked.

      EDIT: No, even worse. It was a Christmas present, maybe birthday. I don't remember, but I DO remember it sucked.

          I would have gone back to the store: easy solution, let them sort it out

            Strange,
            normally it should be on the backside of the manual.

            And no, such thing never happened to me.

              Yeah, remember that from RA II - it pissed me off seriously - who the heck read manuals ?

                And that's what I decided to do after I e-mailed Sega. I went back to Super Target with my receipt and the opened game and exchanged it for another copy of Medieval II: Total War. The employee opened the second copy to make sure, and there it was; the magic CD key that was missing in the first copy.

                I'm a happy camper now.

                  I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                      Are you a compulsive liar, don't answer that the answer is yes. I guarantee the CD key was there on the original you just don't want to admit it.

                        I bought a copy of Madden something or another several years ago and there was no CD in the box ... turned out a bunch of them had been unsealed very carefully. Very annoying

                          Hey, Wiggy, after re-reading Beowulf I just realized the irony of your username/avatar combo. Did you intentionally name yourself after the only warrior who stood by his king and mate the name with the picture of a colossal chicken-**** who put his men in harm's way for no reason and is now refusing to pull them out to avoid losing face? If so, it's pretty clever.

                            To me, no.
                            But it seems it happened to all hungarian copies of EU3.
                            http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323391


                            In short:
                            Hungarian guy don't find the registration key. After asking help on the forum, he contacts the hungarian distributor.
                            "They forgot to print a key on the manual/CD, so all Hungarians have this problem".
                            Luckily for them, the key is not necessary to play the game, only to register.

                              This is the first time anything like that has happened to me. Someone at Sega's distributing center I guess messed up, and neglected to paste the CD key sticker inside the case.

                              The copy of Medieval II: Total War I have now, has the CD key sticker inside where it should have been with the first copy.
