What was the dumbest shyt you did to get money to buy a game or something as a child?

[BobbyWojak]

Grinding surveys on sites like swagbucks and bing search to get enough $5 amazon gift cards to buy games for my 360, games that were old as fukk by the time I got them. To this day, I'm proud of my used copy of Splinter Cell for og xbox, first thing I ever bought for myself had to be like 12 or 13

N64 game prices used to keep a breh sitting at the lunch table like

while looking at that cardboard tasting rectangular pizza my boys had. I maintained my discipline though and got Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Turok and others.

Not dumb but I would have my mom drive me to target or toys r us back in the day and lie straight to customer service face that my Sega Saturn didn’t come with the free game.

Got Virtua Fighter 2, Dayonta USA, & Virtua Cop too. Did it with that dumbass activator when it got marked down to 10% of its original price.

Breh I used to cheese them surveys. Like the one that Gamestop used to give out would keep me fed during my broke times.

All you had to do was have two different emails, click your ass off, and stack. By the following month, I got a 50 dollar Gamestop card

Let Gamestop fucck me over

You damn sure wasn't the first or only.

Try selling a PS2 and a shyt load of games for a Nokia N Gage because you wanted a MP3 player at the time

Didn’t eat lunch for a month to save up for NFL 2k

My dad cheap ass only gave me $5 a day.

$1.50 for the bus $3.00 for lunch and i’d have $.50 left over every day.

For like a month i walked home and only ate a bag a chips for lunch. Was bringing home like $4.00 a day when i didn’t stop at burger king for a rodeo burger(them damn rodeo burgers)

So i make it through the month and I got like $65.

Catch the bus to the mall get up to the checkout and my dumb ass forgot to calculate the tax so i was like $.47 cents short. I wanted to cry Asked the cashier lady to give me the 50 cent and she said it was against company policy.

So I walked around the mall begging for quarters. Literally bummin for a video game. Telling old white ladies i was stranded and couldn’t get home, which wasn’t that far from the truth since my bus transfer was about to run out of time.

Eventually i saw one of my older brothers friends and they gave me the 50 cents and a ride home.

Mission accomplished.

I also robbed subway to get my xbox but that’s a whole different story

Gamepass could have saved you from a life of crime

I worked at used video game store and stole a bunch of loose games and extra dreamcast consoles we had, and traded them back in to the store, and used the store credit to put towards the OG Xbox. Ended up paying something like $15-$20 out of pocket for it when it was all said and done.

I ended up getting that same Xbox modded right after. I used to go to Hollywood video (r.i.p.) and rent a game, bring it home and copy it to the console's HDD, then bring it back not even an hour later and switch it out for another game and do the same thing. Depending on how cool the worker was, i'd do this 3 or 4 times in any given day all off the price of that initial rental.

I was so desperate for a ps3 that I tried to buy a used one off of some auction site and got scammed out of 300 bucks

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

My friend and I were trying to sell our art to make money.

At the time we thought we had some groundbreaking art to sell, but looking back on it, we was just aight. Probably could have gotten a lot better if we had stuck with it.
