    Well, you can return the games as unfit for purpose and make them give you your money back!

    But you wouldn't though, would you really?

    Have you looked in the individual games, on the back of the manual is now a classic place for them. Other than that your best bet is the phone service, you might have to play telephone tennis.

    Or, sneaky sneaky, take them to a different store to get a pukka copy.

    You definately sure they aren't written on the CD, or on the CD wallets? Or on a file on the actual disks themselves?

    is this a pack where you get individually packaged games in their own boxes? Or one where you just get say 6 discs in wallets in a single box?

    If its the latter then they are probably all OEM copies, which means the CD key is *probably* either:

    A) Not required - if it doesn't ask you for one when you install then you DON'T need one, not even for online play.
    b) On the wallets themselves
    c) Actually printed on the CD
    d) In a text file on the CD

    You don't mention if the games ask for them or not but I would bet on A myself As for ghost reacon not working - not working how? Any more details?

    i suggest Emailing them (thats if the tips from Spud dont work) and asking how exactly DO you play the games, they probably are on the CD or dont need a key, but try emailimg them and askign for advice.

    what computer did you get anyway from Dell?? they have had some good deals these days
