I rented a playstation console and when I came home and opened it to play Final Fantasy 9 (Wich I also rented at the same time) I found that they hadn't checked if there was a game in the system.
I got myself a free copy of Resident Evil :v:
My brother had a friend with a hair-lip stole a psp and gave it to him.
Along with a gameboy micro.
A kid needed money to smoke realyl bad so he sold me super Mario 64 DS for one dollar.
It was worth $25 new at the time
I told a friend that my Wii could play Gamecube games, but that I didn't have any to try it with. He showed up the next day with WindWaker, a memory card, and a wireless controller. I still have all of it. :3
I was walking down the street, when someone suddenly opened up their window and threw a copy of Big Rigs: Over the Road racing at my head.

I moved away 2 months later.

I won a raffle from Xfire when it just started a couple years ago. I won Empire earth II and it's expansion.
Never even opened them, they are on my shelf.
I was hanging around a park one fine summer day, when I was thirsty, and I began to walk back to my car to grab a can of coke. Now, this was somewhere around mid 2000's, at the time I had an obsession over Splinter Cell, and I always felt sneaky. As I was walking out to the parking lot, I noticed the minivan parked next to me had its driver door left wide open. My impulses started racing, and I said,"what the hell." So I approached it and peaked in, acting like it was my car, when I noticed a rectangular box, sitting invitingly on the floor. I casually picked it up, and it was The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay for xbox. I was a little hesitant at first, but for some reason I felt like stealing it(I'm a bad person, I know). I slipped it under my shirt, drove home, and played it. I was fucking blown away.

Also, back in my elementary days, I traded a kid this ultimate scooter game for the GBC for Pokemon gold. Best deal of my life.
Asda kept the serial keys in the pc games. I had a lot of orange box to go around. :smug:
Super Mario Brothers 2 for the NES in a gutter.
I was, what, five at the time? I had no idea that it was an NES cartridge. My initial reaction was: "What is this strange device and why won't it fit in my SNES?"
A couple of years back when my brother and I couldn't buy M rated games and our parents would throw any "mature content" out the window of a moving car we had to be sneaky. This one time I found a copy of Serious Sam Gold which is basically the First and Second Encounter for $5 at a McFrugals. I didn't have any money at the time so I stashed it under one of the racks and left. A week or two later my mom takes my brother and I back there to get something. I checked my stash and the game was still there. Now we both wanted this game really bad and nothing was going to stop us, so we pooled the money we had and bought the game. We couldn't ask our mom to put it in the car or she'd return it, and we couldn't ask for the keys without her getting suspicious, so we had to stash it AGAIN in the wheel well of our car. Then I was put on guard duty making sure nobody stole our prize and my brother worked on getting our mom out of the store. It seems childish now, but it was probably the most interesting way I've ever gotten a game.
Found a bunch of NES games near a bin at my local Salvo's shop.
Lady was about to throw them out; she sold them to me for 20c each.
My friend gave me his copy of Half Life, little did he know I needed a separate CD key, so for the next hour I was just put random stuff in to try and get it right, he grabbed my laptop and typed in PENIS-PENIS-PENIS-PENIS-PENIS, and it worked. I was crying in laughter :P
Why rate me dumb? I'm not joking.
I had bought Diablo for PS1 and some other games like 11 years ago or so. Diablo had a sticker on it for a "buy 2 EA games, get a 3rd free" promotion or something along those lines. When I left the store and was going over the receipts, I noticed an extra game. Apparently the clerk misunderstood the sticker and I had the gotten the brand new(at the time) Asteroids remake for free.
EDIT: Diablo was the only EA game of the ones I had bought at the time and Asteroids wasn't a EA game for the record.

Stealing is fun!
I found crysis at a table at mcdonalds
Found a ps1 game called team buddies lying in the gutter with a big chunk missing from the side of the disk. Still worked and all, just didnt like saving. Was an excellent game though

I rented Half Life one several years ago.
Played it online, my WON ID was 19222 :smug:
When steam came out I entered the key and got the platinum pack thingy :>

This story is bullshiit, if you manage to get some people to believe you, then hats down.
But seriously, you can't even lie straight through TEXT. The ":P" says it all if you did fall for it during the first few seconds.
Found a gamecube lying in the street about 20 minutes ago.
[QUOTE=CANAD14N;21194392]This was just kind of a funny experience but when I was younger I really wanted GTA Vice City and I convinced my parents that I was mature enough to play it. So my dad and I went to Walmart to get it and when we walked up to the cashier, she looked at me and saw how excited I was and told my dad, "You know you have to be at least 17 years or older to play this right?" Now my dad looks about 50 and is a pretty serious person so I thought he might change his mind because of this, but instead he said, "Yea, I think I'm older than 17" and gave her a dirty look. It was pretty epic, at least in the eyes of a ten year old anyways.[/QUOTE]
Holy shit i did the same thing but my dad commented on his grey hairs instead.
Not really strange way to get a game, but anyway:
I went into GAME once, and wanted to buy Civilisation: Revolution for the PS3 (it has been out for a few months). I had a £15 gift card, and around £7 on my reward card. Got the game for 50p. Cheapest I have ever got a game.
Another one, is that I pre-ordered the special edition of Uncharted 2 from the online GAME when it was £40. The price went up to £50, but I go it for £40. And I then got it 2 days early, and finished the main story before launch.
One day Delta Force: Black hawk down arrived by mail.
I never ordered it.
I bougt The Good, tHe bad and The Ugly on DVD. I opened the box and there were 3 copies of the Shark Tale game and a drawing of a penis.
I found a ton of PC games like Nox and Mechwarrior and some other weird horror game in my grandpa's closet. I tried looking for them again but I couldn't find them :(
In middle school, I traded some pencils and erasers for Sim copter and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit to some idiot kid who would build dolls or something out of them.
Well see, I had to go outside once, into the sunlight
...
What? That's my story.
I woke up on my 12th birthday, and my mom had gotten the whole GTA:3 pack for me! ^.^
I managed to come by 3 or 4 copies of BF2142 in these ways:
First one I bought for myself
Second my dad got
Third I got for free through a game modding class
Fourth I won in a competition
