Whoever took it shops at BestBuy that's what's wrong.

Overlord is not a shooter, racing, nor sports game so it is clearly not a xbox game.
Just a good photoshop.

There's a "Let us install it" sticker on the game covers.

Well, you know, I don't think anyone else before me actually, you know... directly pointed out the obvious.

Let us install it means a pimply faced "geek squad" member will come over, consume all of your Mt Dew Game Fuel and rant about how Halo3 will be the best game evar! LOL
Really... I saw this stupid "let us install it" sticker on the DS games too... really sad

Do you have any idea how much of a pain those stickers can be to remove? They use some sort of ungodly glue on those cursed things. Those game cases are also used on various other things in the store (Mostly computer memory and other small parts), so when the cases are returned to the warehouse, most of the time, we're too lazy to remove those evil, EVIL stickers. And so, when a sticker is put on a case, it stays on the case.
...Either that or an employee just decided to put those stickers on random products. We do that too. We get bored easily. Man, you should have seen how many confused parents were asking us how difficult it was to install Guitar Hero II on their 360s because we put stickers on every one that we had.

Exactly.
When I worked there, we'd case the RAM and such.
Then the GeekSquad would come behind us, and slap those stickers on all the cases. Instead of just giving us the roll of stickers to put on the actual RAM packages.
Morons. -_- Those stickers are hard to remove as well. Whoever thought it'd be funny at Corporate to use Superglue on the bottom of those stickers should be shot and killed.

Holy shit, are those SEALED GAMES?!

The problem with this picture is the fact that there is no "requires hard drive" stamp on these games so if you have a core 360 they can't install it for you potentially leading customers to purchase games that won't work on their system.
I figure I'll go and say the obvious one as well. Who ever photo shopped #1 onto NCAA 07 was clearly out to cause a huge scene of internet fan boys saying, "it can't be number one HALO IS NUMBAR 1!!!"

I think it's "9/10 play". When I first saw the sticker, I thought it meant that only 9 out of 10 of the games worked. Maybe they printed a bad batch and instead of doing a recall they put stickers on at the last minute.

Well it's about time somebody offered, for a fee, to come to my house and show me how to insert of the the dozens of games I have bought into my 360. I await the Geek Squad Beetle with an open wallet!

I will slap the shit out of someone if they need to have it installed

Can someone please help me install this?

You don't have to install Xbox 360 games. If you did, I bet Microsoft would include an activation code that only works once and have a ridiculous Xbox menu blade titled "Xbox Authentication Tool".

WOW at the thickness of people. The 9/10 Play sticker is Play magazines rating for the game.

My sarcasm meter is completely fried by this thread. I need to upgrade to a digital model. Do they sell those at Best Buy? Could they install it too?

Sure I will pay you to put this game in my disc tray.

How on earth did Overlord get rated a 9 out 10 on the "play" scale? I wouln't have given it anything less than a solid 10.

That the sticker is not on a copy of Final Fantasy XI where it should be.

Seen this same thing long time ago at Best Buy. I laughed, wasn't news worthy enough for me to take a picture back then. this was like 4 month ago when I first saw this

I think the truck delivered a few too many stickers and corporate was doing a stock-count and if they had more than 1/2 a sticker in the back, they'd all get fired.

One of the goblins from Overlord somehow got onto the cover of NCAA March Madness 07
